UNEXPECTED
AGGRESSION
Colombia Declares It Has Been
a Victim In a Communica.
ton to United States.
QUIET IN THE INTERIOR
Foreign Minister Rico Of Colombia Con.
trasts Action Of United States In
Recognizing Panama.

Bogota. Nov. 21-President Mario
ouin made the following statement to
the Associated Press in response to
queries as to the political situation in
Colombia
United States Minister Beaupre and
all Americans here are surrounded
with every guarantee for their safety.
My communication to the United
States Senate and to the people of the
United States makes manifest the at
titude of my government on the Pa
mama question. The situation in the
interior of the Colombian Republic is
quiet.
A communication to the people OF
the United States declares that Co
lombia has been a victim OF "unex
pected aggression" and that the mill
tary movement is not the popular sen.
timent of the origin of the proclama-
ton of the independence of Panama.
In continuing it says: "The Ameri-
can government which has always
been held by Colombia to be it's best
friend and ally, prevented, with it's
marines the loyal militia from subju-
eating traitors and checking the origin
of the insubordination. The Ameri-
can people will not permit, am sure,
the violation of public treaties thus
denying their glorious traditions IN
order to obtain by force what Colon
bia is ready to concede through paci-
fic and equitable ways
Replying to a note from United
States Minister Beaupre, notifying Co.
lombia that his government would rec
ognize the independence of Panama,
Foreign Minister Rico of Colombia,
contrasted the action of the United
States in it's dealing with the Panama
revolt with that in reference to Texas
when the latter state declared it's inde
pendence and two years elapsed before
it. was recognized by the United
States. He quoted the treaty Of 1S4t
and said that the obligation of the
United States to maintain neutrality
and Colombian sovereignty was cleal
and could not be misinterpreted.
If the United States doubted the
recognition of the independence of Pa
mama against this treaty, and wished
to submit the point to the arbitration
of another power or The Hague arbl
tration tribunal, Colombia was willin!
to agree to it. The foreign minis e'
next touched upon the civil war OF tn
United States and said that when Eng
land and France recognized the bellig
erency of the Confederate State'
American diplomacy was so astonish
ed that Seward would not listen tt
the reading of the instructions receiv
ed by the ministers of those powers.

LAB0RERS
CREMATED
Twenty-Seven Burned to Death
in Their Shanty Before They
Could Make Escape.
SCORE MORE INJURED
Fatality Occurred Near Lilly, Pa.-..Fire
Supposed to Have Started From
Oyerheated Stove.

Johnstown, Pa, Nov. 21-While over
100 Italian laborers were asleep N
shanty near Lilly, Pennsylvania, early
today the building caught fire and be-
fore the men could escape at least ~
were burned to death and a score or
more were seriously injured. The
men were employed by McMenamin &
Sims on the Pennsylvania Railroad
improvements. There are 500 on the
job and 125 of these slept in tho
shanty which was about 100 feet long
and one story in height. One end was
used for cooking and eating and at
the other end the men slept in hunks
like sardines in a can. There was on
ly one door in each end and the Win
dows were few and small
The fire is supposed to have started
from an overheated stove in the kitcn-
en- end. The building burned like tim
der and the flames were upon the men
before any of them were aroused.
Then began a struggle for life, fought
by, scrambled for the doors, the
weaker being crushed and trampled.
Others were rosated to death. Among
those who escaped many bear the
marks of the fierce battle for life. A
few who returned to get their savings
and trunks lost their lives. An Italian,
who knew every man in the shantE
was unable to identify any of the dead.

Santa Fe should have fair grounds
and driving park" said a represent
ative citizen of the Capital City the
other day, and the New Mexican is in
hearty accord with such a movement.
A fair grounds and driving park
would mean much for the Capital CITY,
and there is no reason why the busi-
ness men should not get in line with
Albuquerque and Ration, both OF which
towns have fair grounds and driving
parks, and Las Vegas, the seat Of san
Miguel County, where number OF the
citizens have just incorporated COM
pany known as the "Las Vegas Drlv-
ing Park and Fair Association.
The objects of this association are
to construct, maintain, equip and op-
crate a park for amusement, drtylng,
and other kindred purposes and to
give exhibitions and entertainments
showing the agricultural, horticustnr
mineral, manufactured and other pro-
ducts of the Territory of New Mexico.
The grounds are to be located IN an
ideal spot, about one mile south "a the
world famous hot Springs, upon a
bench in the river valley which. in
that portion, is several miles wide. Ev-
ery convenience will be afforded by
this site, as the city water mains pass
through the grounds, as likewise the
electric line between Las Vegas and
the Hot Springs. This street railway
will furnish the most approved, rapid
transit service from all parts OF the
city. including the depot, direct to the
grounds. @
The company is capitalized tor 40,
900 and surely the citizens OF 1ne CAPT
tai City can raise this amount to es
tablish fair grounds and driving
park, if the citizens of Las Vegas can
and as those of Ration and Albuquer
que have already done. All that is
necessary is that the impetus shoulC
be given to such movement, and ar
institution that would materially en-
hance the business interests OF the
community would be the result
Fair grounds at Las Vegas ane
Santa Fe, in addition to those already
existing at Albuquerque and Ration
would result in the four cities named
being included in the same circuit a.

OLD MINE MAKES TROUBLE
Is on Fire Again and Forty Men Are
Out Of Work az the Result.

Special to the New Mexican.
Gallup, New Mexico, Nov. 21-The
"Old Mine" which is one of several at
Gibson is on fire again and as result
about 40 men were obliged to quit
work.
This mine has made more or less
trouble for several years and it was
hoped that fire would not break out
again. Every precaution had been TAX
en- that is known to mining SKILL, but
to no avail and now the smoke is roll
ing out of the mine and it will have to
be abandoned. The plan now is to dig
into the other side of the hii. and work
from that side.
This was one of the first mines op-
ened up at Gibson, and 1t is now fear
ed that it will have to be let shoulder
as there is at present no way to ex-
tinguish the fire. .

FAIR GROUNDS
AND DRIVING PARK
Such an Institution Would Material
lv Enhance the Business H.
terests of the Capital City
--.Activity in Las Vegas.

southern Colorado, where county and
state fairs and racing events are an
nual happenings.
The $4,000 necessary for the inaug-
uration of such an institution could be
raised by the stock being divided into
1000 shares of the par value OF $lN
each, and every representative citizen
taking $40 shares. A fair grounds and
driving park would be of untold good
to the community and would be
monument to those subscribing $40
each, even though during their life
time they might never derive cent IN
dividends from their investment.
, A fair grounds would also admit OF
Santa Fe becoming the headquarters
for baseball and football games. A
project is now on foot by which a
Southwestern Baseball League will be
organized during the winter, and be
ready for business in the spring. II
the present plans carry, the teams that
will constitute the Southwestern
League will be from Albuquerque,
Las Vegas Ration Tucumcari, Santa
Rosa, Alamogordo, Socorro and Santa
Fe.
Perhaps no factor in a city or towns
material growth and development
calls attention to it to a greater de-
gree, than the ability to boast OF a
good baseball team. For Santa Fe to
become the pennant team OF the
Southwestern League, it is necessary
that some provision should be made
for a place where practice games car
be had, and where visiting teams car
, be entertained, when the Santa re
sam is booked to play on its nome
grounds.
| The manifold usages and benefits tt
be derived from an enterprise OF this
character in Santa Fe, are that /
would beautify the Capital City; tina
it would result in Santa Fe being in
cluded with Albuquerque, Ration ane
Las Vegas, in the same circuit as sPue
bio. Trinidad and other Colorado points
which would end in annual fairs ant
racing events being held, and i
would also provide baseball and
football park, both for the teams and
those interested in the greatest OF al
American sports. Let Santa Fe have
fair grounds and driving park, ant
at once.
