URGES RECOGNITION.
Dir. Tarilla Calls on M- Jasserand-
Mayfo1Cer at Colon.

Washington. Nov. 15.-Minister varilla called
twice the French Ambassador here to-day
with the hope Of inducing France to recognize
the Panama government. Mr. Varilla was given
to understand that recognition of his govern
ment by France must be preceded by an ac-
acknowledgement of the rights of French citizens
who own the Panama Canal franchise and rail-
way. Minister variIla expressed the belief that
this requirement presented difficulty, and is.
therefore, confident that France will recognize
Panama at no distant date.
Mr.. Varilla received to-day long cable dis
patch from Panama, expressing thanks to the
United States in offering the privileges Of United
States warships to General Reyes on his arrival
at the Isthmus OF Panama. should he desire to
go aboard General Reyes and two other
Colombian generals reported to have gone
TO Panama from Bogota peace commission.
The dispatch says that the greatest enthusiasm
exists throughout Panama over the reception
given to her minister here and to the recognition
Of the new republic. The addresses of Mr..
varilla and Of President Roosevelt when the
former presented his credentials have been pub
lished in the various papers of the country.
The same dispatch gave authority 10 Minis
ter varilla 10 negotiate with the foreign repre-
sentatives here FOR a speedy recognition OF the
new republic The minister had suggested 10
his government that II cloths the commission
now on It's way from Panama with such powers.
but the officials there preferred that the minis
ter should exercise these offices. as he already
possessed diplomatic functions.
A cable dispatch from Panama announced the
arrival at Colon this morning of the Mayfower.
with Admiral Walker on board. In this con-
nection. It may be stated that from now on the
construction of the canal will be carried on ac-
cording to the plans of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission. As will be recalled. the franchise of
the French company required that minimum
of construction be performed continuously and
this condition has been carefully observed
throughout the protracted negotiations leading
ND to the present situation. such construction
as has been accomplished up to this time how
ever, has been in accordance with the plans of
French engineers. but. with the arrival Of Adj
miral Walker this viii be changed and work
will proceed under his direction and along Amer
lean lines
In official circles here the opinion is ex-
pressed that the commission consisting OF Gen
erals Reyes. Holgun and Ospina. which ac-
cording TO a dispatch from Bogota. has started
on peace mission to Panama. is embarked on
a hopeless task. II is now too late. II is said
for anything in that direction to be accom-
pliShed. Ii is felt certain here that the Panama
people will not treat with the commission. as
said official, II is not likely that the 18th
mians will care to become again part OF Co
lombia.

Guard this hatch!" shouted Crys.
tai, reckless of his voice now that the
brig was his. And followed by two
men, he rushed aft.
The knocking was furious. Draw
ing his cutlass, Crystal opened one of
the doors and Pope's figure showed,
firmly outlined against the faint
illumination shed by the cabin-lamp.
what in hell's this?" Pope roared.
He held a pistol and took two steps,
thrusting with his shoulder in his fury
to break through. With beast-like in
humanity Crystal struck Pope's hand
a terrible blow with the fiat of his
cutlass; the pistol that was cooked,
exploded as it leaped down the com
panion-steps.
''Oh, God!" cried Pope.
1.-The briggs ours!" Surrender, Pope,
or you are dead mani" Numbered
Crystal.
In silence Pope turned and sprang
into the cabin, and rushed into his
berth, followed by Crystal and two
men. Swift as Crystal was, Pope was
nimbler still; his agility was that of
the hare; before Crystal had reached
TIE others cabin, the gallant Irish
villain had seized his sword hanging
beside his bunk, had rounded, and was
fighting--a figure terrible with rage,
pain, hate.
"Is this how you reward me, you
bloody villain!" was all he said, and
the blades clashed in horrid music to
the shrieks of Laura, who was now
standing in her cabin door.
THE people are under hatches!-
the briggs mine!-surrender!-it must
come to it, for we are ten resolved
men!" Crystal painted, as Pope, with
desperate lunge and lightning-like
flourish, drove the buccaneering fend
into the cabin. Here they had space;
and now, being able to see each
others face, each fought to kill
Back, you coward" screamed
Laura, rushing at one of the men who
was in the act Of springing upon Pope.
Too late! The fellow clipped the
Irishman by the shirt under his long
hair. Pope reeled, his sword passed
through the air in wild, idle sweep
of glittering blade, and in the next
moment Crystal drove his cutlass
through his shipmate's heart.

How Did He Do m

The man was ready to take trip.
He told a lady clerk to forward his
mail to certain town. The clerk re-
piled: II always get that town mixed
up with another town" The man took
a pencil and said: II will write the
address down for YOU" He did 30.
but after he had left it was discovered
that he had written the name of the
wrong town, which the lady had men
toned as always worrying her. When
informed by mail what he had done
the man would not believe 1t until he
returned and saw his own penman-
ship. When he told me about this er.
ror began studying with him on how
1t was possible for him to make such
an error, and we agreed that his ear
and hand must have worked together
without his head, or while his mind
was on some other subject and as
his ear had heard the name Of the
wrong town last his hand naturally
wrote that unconsciously.

"Oh, my hearts delight, you will be

measure sheltered them.

He went to the table, and breaking
into stagger as though he had taken

ing. Crystal put second pistol into
his breast.
Send the others aft" says he, In
hoarse, tremulous voice.
The three men went forward. and,
like shadows shaping themselves out
of the wet-obscure, five more seamen
gathered about the arms-chest and
swiftly armed themselves. While
they were doing this. Crystal softly
closed the skylight.
"Now," says he, speaking in vio-
lent whisper, in the manner Of one
whose hurry means life or death to
him. 1.-TWO of you spring forward to
close the forescuttle. On with the
acknowledgements"
They rushed forward; the COM
mands were easy of execution. Two
covers sufficed to close down the hold
of that little brig. One, to shelter the
'tween-decks from the rain, was al
ready on; the other lay atop of 1t. In
an instant this was fitted in the coam-
ings, the strong iron bar was run
through the staples, and the men be-
low were imprisoned as securely as
though they had been locked UP in
Newgate. The forescuttle was even
an easier job; the two men had moth
ing to do but pull the cover over and
close and bolt the doors.
See if there is any but ourselves on
deck" shouted Crystal, and three or
four of them started on a hunt
through the deep shadow.
Just then they heard loud knock
ing on the companion door; they
could also hear some men dimly shout
ing under the mainhatch, followed by
several blows, dealt, maybe, with a
handspike.
