Don Carlos Arosemena, secretary of the
Panama legation at Washington, is of a
very jovial bent and trimming over with
good nature. While a student at the Troy
Polytechnic Institute, where he grad
uated in the class of '92, he told some of
his classmates that when he returned to
the isthmus he would go into the brewery
business as the one most suited to his
disposition.
A few hours after his arrival here last
week with the special commission from
the new republic he received the follow
Ing telegram at the Fifth Avenue hotel:

General Daniel E. Sickles tells this story
Illustrative of the facility with which gov,
ernments are made and unmade in South
Africa.
when 1 was on a diplomatic mission
from the United States to Colombia, just
after the civil war, / stopped on my way
1T the isthmus II there met General
Tomas c. Mosquera, who had just wound
up what is known in history as the Mos
auera revolution. During our conversa-s
hon he asked FOR a letter of Introduction
TO General Sherman, because, he said, he
had made a march equally as eXtraordi-
nary as Sherman's march to the sea, and
would like to compare notes with the
American general.
st asked him about this march of HIS,
and he told me that, having been success!
full in the Colombian civil war, he had
formed a congress and a government and
then asked it, in view of his services, to
send him as ambassador to France and
Russia for a term of four years, and, in
order to insure hin against any subse-i
quent change of government, to give him
his pay in advance. This request was Hat
ly refused by the government.
.'Feeling himself capable OF overthrow-
~!:.ss, the government he had created, he
started out to enforce his request. He
went to the province Of Cauca on the
Pacific slope and hired fifty Of the most
stalwart negroes he could find. With
these he began to w the country
and collect an army, threatening with
death any man who refused to join. In
his fashion he soon had a force of 3,NO'
men, n with it started to cross the
mountains which lay between him and,
Bogota, the Colombian capitol. After
months of marching he arrived on tha
plains before Bogota and took that city.
The congress was in session. He rounded
up its members, put them in jail, and told
them that when they were ready to vote
him his money and position he would let
them out. The congress had nothing else
to co and so gave him the money and Gre
dentials and bade hin g%odspeed.
"I heard Of a farmer in Pennsylvania
who lost his wife," said Secretary
Shaw, "and who married another and
took her to his house within a week
after he had buried the first one
The people in the neighborhood
thought he should have waited a little
longer and went around on his wedding
night to express their disapproval. They
had a couple Of horse fddles and a lot
Of tin horns and made q frightful
racket.
when they were well Under way the
farmer appeared Oh the porch OF his
house with his new wife and shouted,
angrily: Get away from here! You peo-
pie ought to be ashamed Of yourselves
to make such a disturbance outside a
house where there has just been a flu
neral. Have you no respect for the
dead?'"
