Washington Officials Scout
the Idea.
IT'S NOT ON THE CARDS
If Such Thing We're in Contemplation This
Government WouldsNevsr Permit lie
lsthmus 10 Become The Seat
of Warfare.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, Nov. 14-The State De-
partment has no knowledge of the march
ing of an army of Colombia upon the
isthmus and the officials state that il
there were any such movement in progress
it would certainly be informed by its
agents in the south, the cables being still
open, These officials scout the idea that
any such march is i'll progress as the Pres
ident of Colombia is reported to have de-
scribed to the President of Ecuador.
1t is assumed here that the army
said to be marching on Panama was
nothing more than the few men, perhaps
500 all told, who were about to embark
at Buena Ventura a few days ago when
they were turned back from the isthmus
by notice of the determination OF the
United States naval commanders to allow
no landings in that quarter. These troops
cannot reach the isthmus by water and
the officials here are positive that they
cannot do so by land on account of the
nature of the intervening country.
But there are more than physical obsta-
cles in the way of the approach OF an
army upon Panama. The officials do not
care to express publicly their plans, but
enough has been CLEANED from the in
structons given to our naval commanders
to make it evident that never again viii
the isthmus become the seat of warfare
so long as the United States government
can prevent it. The difference between
the present situation on the isthmus and
that which existed last year when Cora
mander Mclean prevented armed troops
from crossing the isthmus by rail Is this:
The authorities have now determined TO
extend the lines of protection to the rail
road. They will not allow hostile forces,
no matter whether they are Colombian OF
Panama troops to come into collision
anywhere near the railroad and to prevent
such collisions it will be necessary to eX
tend the neutral zone clear to the north
and south boundaries of the republic of
Panama. Officials here will not make
such statement publicly; they simply
say:
"Wait until the emergency arises"
But it is known that such were the
plans of the naval commanders and as
there is no indication of change in these
plans. not the slightest apprehension is
felt here of the encroachment of any oC-
lombian army upon Panama.

off Indian Island last night, was run down
by the old Dominion steamer Albemarle,
which cut her completely in two. Captain
T. ". Midyette, in charge of the Cassie,
was drowned. T. B. Silverstone, the mate,
and Peleg Warner. passenger, were
saved. The Cassie, according to state
ments from those on the Albemarle and
she was not seen by the etcmehntha
Cassie had no light exhibited, hence she
was not seen by the pilot on the steamer
until too late. Captain Midyette was at
the wheel of the Cassie, and in attempt.
ing to cross the bow of the Albemarle,
missed his calculation. The Cassie was a
sloop about twenty-five feet long, four
teen feet beam and was owned by Tobe

gagged in bringing fish to this market.
Mr.. Warner, the passenger on the Cassie
gave the following account of the accident:
''We were on our way TO Washington
with fish from Albert's Bay, consigned to
Moore and Sterling When about off In
dian Island and coming straight up the
river a light was seen 1--WE had no lights
on the sloop). / remarked to Captain
Midyette he had better huff and go to
starboard, that he could not go to port
without getting run into. The captain
replied, Yes, l can: I'm going to cross
her bow, domn if l amt l told him he
could not succeed. He said, yes l can
or I'll go to HI trying
I'VE could see the white and green light
on a steamer. Saw the green light three
quarters of mile away and white light
about one mile and half away. After
this conversation with the captain. l told
him / could come as near being saved as
he could so 1 went down in the cabin
to sleep. This was about seven o'clock,
should judge. The captain was at the
wheel at the time. Next thing 1 knew I
heard an awful crash. I rushed on deck,
and to my horror saw the Cassie sinking
rapidly. The Albemarle had struck our
boat about amidship. The mate of the
Cassie, T. B. Siverstone, who was near
the bow rushed towards the Albemarle
and grabbed her hull l Jumped over
board and swan for the bow of the
steamer. and when near her was thrown
a line from the Albemarle and saved.
'.As | rushed from the cabin 1 saw
Captain Midyette running towards the
bow OF the Cassie. This was the last seen
of him. The Albemarle lay by the sloop
for over an hour endeavoring to find Cap
tain Midyette. After we We're taken on
the steamed everything possible was done
for us by her commander. Captain Phelps
and the crew. 1t was very dark and VIC
had no light exhibited. All those on board

The Cassie is a complete wreck, only a
part of her mast can now be seen.

citing drive and Mr.. Height states that
in order to escape a possible attempt to
catch the man, as he understood that sen.

defense, and the play was largely in
orange territory.
Yale followed UP her first advantage
and again pressed toward ,ne Tigers
goal line. A tumble gave the ball to
Princeton. when Yale was on the verge
of crossing the line for another score.
Yale again pounded Princeton's line
for short but consistent gains and again
YaIe was in striking distance. The Yale
quarter back, with the game Well in hand,
apparently decided TO save his men and
signalled for an attempt at goal from
the field. Mitchell dropped back and
fumbled the ball on Princetons twenty
yard line. The visitors broke through,
Dewitt snatched the ball from the ground
and, protected by fine interference, ran
the length OF the field fog a touch
down.. Vetterlin kicked tho goal and
the score stood even at six, at the end
of the first half
The players on both teams came out
for the second half in good physical
condition.
In this period as in the first Yales
superiority of offense was apparent, for
the blue kept the play in Princetous
half of the field most of the time. Twice
with irresistible force toward the or
ange goal line, and twice with touch
downs in sight, the sons of Yale FUN
bled grievously. Again the backs hurled
themselves through the opposing line,
only to lose their last hope of victory,
through holding in the line, which cost
Yale twenty yards and the surrender

Princeton. meanwhile never wavered
and the orange and black line became
stauncher.
Yale could not gain, but her forwards
were equally as sturdy on the defence
and Princeton could not penetrate the
blue line for gains at all substantial.
Accordingly Princeton resorted to the
kicking game and with but five minutes
to play, another Yale tumble placed Yale
in serious trouble near her own goal
line. Luckily for Yale, one of her own
men fell on the ball, but Bowman, the
Yale back, was forced to Alck from be-
hind his own goal line. He punted to
well to Yale's AZ yard line Vetterlir,
who was playing back for Princeton,
caught the ball and with great presence
of mind heeled the catch for a kick
from placement. With the score still at
six to six, the great crowd was breath
less while Dewitt prepared 10 try for
goal, at slight angle. The distance "
forbidding, but Dewitt was superbly equal
to the occasion and shot the ball be-

victory in football over Yale since 1899.
The game afforded something OF an

the defeated team, gained the greater
