SECESSION MOVEMENT.
Supported in Deparoment of Cauca by
High Officials.

Panama, Nov. 27.-An American
travelling man who has just arrived
here from Buena Ventura on the steam
er Manavi after a stay of 20 days in
the department of Cauca, reports that
the feeling of unrest in Cauca and An
oiaquia continues, and that the seces-
sion movement there has the support
of many prominent men, including a
number of high officials. An outbreak
was recently started in Cali, the busi-
ness center of the Cauca department,
but the authorities quickly suppressed
it and arrested the ringleaders who
suffered no harm probably because of
the sympathies of the officials with
the movement.
The secession movement, this man
says, is serious, but it is impossible to
foretell what will be done or when
any step will be undertaken
He also says there is no evidence of
any warlike or any aggressive move
ments against Panama. There is plen.
ty OF threatening talk, but noaction.
The Americans at Cali have not been
molested. The authorities at Buena
Ventura, the traveller says, were in
cl1ned to be annoying when he left
there, but nothing serious had hap
pened. The discomfort in Cauca and
Antigua results from the same causes
that led to the movement for indepen-
dence on the isthmus.

Atlanta, Nov. 27.-General Rafael

bia, with party of Colombian officers,
passed through this city today enroute
to Washington.
Although refusing to state his 'rea-
sons for going to Washington il was
learned that General Reyes mission
was concerning the intervention of the
United States in the Colombia Panama
imbroglio.
General Reyes stated that while the
best of feeling prevailed in Colombia
for the United States, it was believed
that the government at Washington
had given some assistance to Panama
by recognizing the secessIonists.
The Colombian people, although
very bitter against Panama, are doing
everything possible" said General
Reyes, ''to settle the matter amicably,
but if there is no other way, we are
going to force Panama back.
Speaking of the possibilities of the
Colombian army, General Reyes said
that the Colombian army lcan be in
creased to 300, 1000 men In very short
time.
General Reyes said that the Colon
bia government is anxious to have
the canal through Panama, and if mat
ters had been allowed to take their
proper course, there is no doubt but
what the details of treaty could have
been arranged suitable to all parties.

Petersburg.
st. Petersburg, Nov 27-The flood
which has caused so much damage
here was the biggest since 1924. The
intense cold is causing much distress
among the homeless and the dwellers
IN cellars. In the factory quarter
10000 persons have been driven into
the streets, many of them losing their
homes and all their possessions.
A pathetic case was that of parents
hurrying home at the sound of warn
Ing guns, who found their children
drowned.
The destruction of property was
heavy, especially at Cronstadt. The
strangest freak of the flood occurred
at a cemetery, and flooded away cof-
fins that were washed OUT of graves.
Those which were recovered were re-
inferred haphazard.
