INSTRUCTIONS CHANGED
President Alters His Orders Relative
to Colombian Troop Ships.

y
Washington, Nov. 11.-A serious
error in the management OF isthmian
complications was made yesterday,
and but for a, speedy rectif1cation, dis
astrous results might have followed,
involving the United States in serious
trouble with foreign nations. Presi-
dent Roosevelt was forced to recall
his order to prevent Colombian troops
embarking for Panama and subtitute
an order forbidding debarkation near
treaty territory. The president origi-
nally instructed the captains OF ships
of war to prevent Colombian troops
embarking for isthmian ports.
What principally caused the with
drawal Of the original order was the
fact that the ships engaged in the
transport Of Colombian troops from
:Buena Ventura were two British
steamers. The original orders pro-
yided that Commander Diehl of the
cruiser Boston should go to Buena
Ventura and warn the master OF
transports as well as the commander
of troops that vessels would not be-
allowed to leave port with soldiers on
board.
Further consideration impelled the
state department to believe that such,
action would not only be an act OF hos-

Both DR. Shearer and DR.. Burre11 de-
clared that practically all the clergy
men of the city, Catholic and Prot
estant, are with them, but they de-
cline to name any Of their allies. DR..
SheareI said that q committe Of cler-
gyrnen has been formed, but he would
not tell who were members Of 1t.
DR.. Burrell, who is a Metropolitan
opera house subscriber, stated his OBJ
jections as follows:
II am opposed to the production Of
Parsifal' but don't propose to con-
spicuous1y identify myself with the
opposition. I am not mem5e. Of
the committee. There is general re-
|pugnance among Christians to the per-
sonal representation of Jesus on the
stage or anywhere else. Especially is
there a repugnance to the spectacular
representation of the very blood OF
Christ. In 'Parsifal' not only is
Christ's person represented, but the
blood"

Good stories were told of. ,endur-
ance rides taken to connect with the
trains or to reach the. city direct

One woman walked thirty miles from
point near Red Lake, travelling
alone thru the forests the greater part
Of the distance and reaching Bagley
at 8 o'clock this morning in time to
take, the train.
She stood in the line almost ex-

to her great surprise she found the

One man waded thru swamps and
over corduroys a distance of twenty
miles before reaching neighbor, who
had q horse that he could hire, and
the animal played out before he had
gone ten miles, necessitating a COM
pletion Of the journey as it was be-
gun.
One woman of so years thanked
God audibly as she was told that her
effort to secure a safe filing was sue
cessful.
The greater part Of the claimants
are sturdy people used to pioneering

One hundred and fifty filings were

siderable loss The losses Of the rev
olutionists, were slight. Some for
eign noncombatants were killed.
Sunday afternoon an tnsurgenr
shell passed within a few feet of MT.
Powell, the American minister at the
legation.
A soTtie was made by 140 govern
ment troops, but they were ambushed
and compelled to retire within the
walls, leaving their dead and wounded
on the field. Early Sunday night there
was another heavy attack, but the
rebels were again repulsed. The losses
are unknown. Several shells exploded
in the city this morning.
The German cruiser Gazelle arrived
Monday and landed marines. The
German cruiser Panther arrived the
preceding day. No other foreign war
vessels are here.
Reports were received from Cape
Haytien and also from Paris last night,
saying rumors were in circulation that
the revolutionists had carried Santo
Domingo, but they have not been con-
f1rmed. :.
Before beginning the bombardment
of San Domingo the revolutionists
notified the diplomatic corps and the
consular officers that they had previ-
ously served notice on the Dominican
government that the forces OF the
revolution intended to adopt all means,
including bombardment, in their eff
forts to capture the city. The repre-
sentatives Of the powers met to-day
and decided that they could only hold
communications with the legally es-
tabIished government of the country.
General Paul Cabrera, at the head
Of 500 revolutionists with six pieces OF
artillery and a treasure chest contain
ing $4,000, arrived yesterday before
the city. The situation here is he
coming very critical and the presence
of more warships at San Domingo is
urgently required.
The guard for the German consul
ate which was landed from the cruis-
ers of Germany now in port is in con-
slant communication with the latter
by means of a signal station which has
been erected over the consulate.
The German steamer Athen, which
was prevented some days ago from
landing her cargo at San Pedro De
Macoris has, under the protection OF
a German cruiser, succeeded in land
ing her freight at that port and has
proceeded to the northern ports OF
Santo Domingo for which she has
cargo and passengers. The Athen has
a German escort with her in order tc
facilitate the discharging of hel
freight.

Panama. Nov. 11.-Tne United

left here yesterday afternoon, is
said to be bound for Buena Ven

Boston and Marblehead remain

The last news received at Pana-

the effect that the Colombian au-
thorities were expecting an at
tack on that port from the direc-
ton of Panama; that they were
building entertainments and that
the Colombian gunboat Bogota
was being stripped for action.

DIR. CRUM AGAIN
The President Nominates Him for
Office at Charleston, N. G.

Office at Charleston, N. G.
Washington. Nov. 11.-Among the
recent appointments made by the
president was DR.. w. D. Crum, to be
collector Of customs at Charleston
S. c.. Crum's nomination was before
the senate at the last regular session
and also the special session and met
the opposition> of the South Carolina
senators and the Charleston business
men because of the color of the ap-
pointee.
At the regular session the nominal
ton was reported from the senate
committee, but no action was taken
by the senate. At the special session
a similar fight was made and a suffi-
cient number Of republicans Joined
with the democratic members Of the
committee to send the nomination to
the senate with an adverse recon-
mendation.
The appointment, however, re-
NAMED at the adjournment of the
senate without action on it, and the
president, as he then announced, in
the absence Of definite action by the
senate, has renominated Crum.

SUGGESTION TO
THE FARMERS.
Why Not Prepare for
Sheep Raising.
DOG LAW NEEDED.
The Labor and Fertilizer
Questions.
Solution to Both Might BE Helped il
Legislature Would Enact Statute
for Sheep Protection.

THE ADVERTISER takes the liberty
of suggesting that the farmers at their
meeting Friday pass resolution Of the
following purport;
Whereas, the increasing prices Of COM
mercial fertilizers and the increasing
scarcity of labor both threaten to re-
duce the profits in cotton production.
And whereas, large proportion of
the lands in Laurens county are adapta-
bic to the profitable raising of sheep,
an industry that would require a com
paratively small number of laborers
and no commercial fertilizers, thus
helping to solve both the difficulties
above mentioned.
BE il resolved, by the farmers Of this
county in mass meeting assembled that
they hereby petition the state senator
and members Of the house Of repre-
sentatives from this county to intro
duce and cndeavor to have enacted at
the next session of the general assem-
bly, u law that will protect sheep rails
ers IN Laurens County from sheep kill
ing dogs, and so make the sheep indus
try possible.

OF CHARLESTON DEAD
The Distinguished Historian Passed
Away Last Sunday
Morning.

General Edward McCrady of Char
lesion died suddenly at his home in
Charleston last Sunday morning at the

General McCrady wrote the History

BILE value to the people of this state. 1t
