JOHN o. oANNow's NOTION.

= INCE General John Q. Cannon signs
- his name 90 the latest report from
the coal camps. the public is bound to
believe ne wrote it, though it reads
very much as if Doc. Shores, detective.
and Attorney Braffet of the Fuel
companys staff had been the Generals
amanueuses.
We gather from the statement shat
Attorney Elder was arrested, to be sure.
but arrested so gently and treated so
tenderly after arrest that Elder him
self enjoyed the incident The general
leaves the impression. indeed. that the
1'uel company's guards are a sort Of
modern king Arthur's round table COM
hination; that Doc. Shores is another
Sir Galahad and that in the absence
Of any ladies 90 be rescued, Galahad
Shores went to the resue Of Elder and
threw him into a six-by-nine cage with
couple Of italian miners as a sort of
haven over night.
IT am OF the opinion, in conclusion, -
says the general. that the whole Incl
dent has been ridiculously magnided by
Elder himself in the interest Of his own
notoriety and by the war corespon-
dents who, in the absence Of anything
az all exciting in a campaign so en-
tiIely uneventfuI and peaceable as this.
seize upon the merest pretext around
which to weave a story.
The episode would not have war
rented more than an inch Of space in
the ordinary newspaper column if oc-
curing under normal conditions.
If anybody had ever suspected Cam
non Of being a newspaper man. his
judgment of the news value Of this
episode would have corrected the i'm
preston. If Brigadier General Cam
mons report is true-which we doubt
most seriously-then the Campaign so
entirely uneventfuI and peaceable" has
been an imposition upon the taxpayers
Of the state, an injustice to the national
guardsmen. and a military farce.
In either event Cannon has demon
strated his inability to observe clearly
and state facts without prejudice. II

BUNAu-vARILLA IS ANXIOUS.

HERD SEEMS to be q strong prob
ability that the wolves who are to
divide the s40,O00,O0O to be paid by the
United States to the dennct Panama
Canal company, VIII quarrel over a di-
vision Of the spols as such wolves usu-
ally do NJ Bunau-Variila, diplomatic
representative Of Panama to the gov
eminent Of the United States. who
seems to be the chief of the wolves, is
evidently uneasy. He says that, so far
as Panama is concerned. the canal
question has been settled, and that the
agitation in France over the division
Of the spoils should have no effect
on the ratification Of the treaty.
Nevertheless, Bunau-Varrilla sug-
gests that it is most advisable for this
government to move quickly because
delays tend to affect the Imagination
and so long as a thing is unsettled
complications are likely to arise
This, being interpreted. means that the
longer the payment Of the S4O.000000 is
delayed, the more imaginative some of
the interested persons win become as
to their share I'm the plumber. Bunau-
Varilla doesn't want them to have too
much time TO think
If the payment is held up for
month or two some OF the wolves viii
acquire the notion that they should re-
ceive more than the head wolves are
willing to aIIot them. thus causing
nasty arguments and disturbances.
when It's done. If It's done. then
'twere wen it were done quickly is
the motto Of p Bunau-Variua. He
won't feel exactly sure Of his proper
tion OF the swag until he has safely
deposited it in some bank And we
don't know that we wonder at his I'M
easiness. The wonder is that the
United States has ever agreed to pay
that S4OOOO.OOO.
What do we get for the money?
Practically all accounts agree that the
most valuable consideration is
right to dig a canal through Panama
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This
fright" was given to the French Pan
anna Canal company by the United
States of Colombia we are dealing
now with an entirely different country.
the Republic Of Panama, a nation we
ourselves started in business The
French Company has no claim what
ever on Panama. It has no right so
far as Panama Is concerned.
Why, then, SHOULD we pay $4,000, 900
for something which is ours for the
asking? Nobody seriously contends
that the rotten machinery. the Jungle
grown ditch. the crumbiing houses
owned by the French company in Pan
anna are worth a thousandth part Of
$4,000 900. Nobody believes that the
original stockholders IN the defunct
corporation win receive a single dollar
Of this money. The men who viii
profit are the gamblers on the French
Boerse. the lawyers. the lobbyists Of
the Bunau-Varilla stripe and a few
others.
Bunau-Varilla unquestionably fears
the senate and the nation will wake
up to these facts We hardly blame
him for his ardent desire to see the
transaction concluded at the earliest
possible moment The more the
thing is aired the more maIodorous it
becomes.

But most wonderful of all the Won
oers Of Santa Cruz is the Painted Cave.
No one has yet fully explored this cave
and its extent is unknown
The opening is about 300 feet wide at
the water line and 100 high A line
dropped at the entrance showed the
water TO be about seventy feet deep.
Within The cave is ample room for
the biggest battleship ia the American
navy TO lie at rest. with plenty OF space
above her masts and with thirty feet
Of water below her keel. The size OF
the entrance permits the light 70 enter,

coed those OF any of the smaller caves
that we visited. They are wonderfully
beautiful. The walls are ike vast mo-

feels almost as If he were in some great

Howling of Seals.
A moment later Q seal passed by. en-
route from the outer waters to the in
ner recesses Of the cave. A little fur
ther in two large starfish were seen on
the bottom. One Of these. it was esti-
mated, spread its arms a distance Of at
least twenty inches.
When we had gone some distance
further in, and the light was growing
somewhat dim, everyone were startled
by a sudden noise, which developed
into a prolonged roar and rumble that
seemed fairly to make the rocky walls
trembie. The herds Of seals that make
their home in the deep retreats of the
great cavern had set up a bowling and
the echo and reverberation made a
noise like thunder or an earthquake.
The Oarsmen rOWed on until a point
900 feet from the entrance was reached.
The walls had been gradually closing
in upon us. until they were now not
more than fifty feet apart. and the r1of
only about twenty-five feet above US.
At this point the cave forks and opens
by two passages into two other great
caverns. Tt is from within these that
the seals send forth their roar.

what others there may be beyond them.

enough comes from the entrance to
make artificial light unnecessary. But

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD.-While
The administration has denied that
troops have been ordered to the 18TH
ANUS. the general staff, notwithstand-
ang, has fully prepared for any emer-
gency which may arise in that part OF
the world. The announcement from
colombia that large army is to be
raised and marched into the new Re-
public OF Panama has not surprised
1he officials in Washington. For some
time past this move has been expected
and preparations made to meet it.
Our treaty obligations compel us to
protect and keep open for traffic the
Panama Railway, and, should it be
necessary to send troops there to carry
seut these treaty obligations, the United
States will be found to be as ready to
do so as it was to protect American i'll
ferests when the revolution which
brought about the independence OF
Panama occurred.
Some days ago it was announced that
she transport Kearney, now at New
York, would be unable to leave that
port on account OF repairs being made
10 her boilers. This was good Off
cial reason, but it is an open secret in
army circles that the kearney is being
held at New York in readiness to trans
port troops to Colon at any moment.
While orders have not been issued
Tor any regiment to start for Panama,
the General Staff has selected two reg
iInents and placed them under waiting
orders. The Ninth Infantry, now sta
tioned at Fort Madison, New York, is
one OF those selected. it being the ia,
:mous regiment that participated i'll the
relief of Picking, after acqutting itself
gallantly at the capture of Tientsin
where Colonel Liscum was killed. The
sother regiment selected is the Six

fioned at Fort Slocum, New York, and

Of course, no official confirmation
of the preparation for sending troops

troops may not be needed on the 18TH

and marines, is already large at both
Colon and Panama, and this may prove
Sufficient to not only protect American

Invites Cuba to Join Unio1.

Senator Newlands. author of the res
olution annexing Hawaii. introduced a
joint resolution inviting Cuba to become
a State of the United States upon terms
of equality with the States of the Union.
1t provides that Porto Rico shall become
a county or province of Cuba that all

positions until their terms expire; that
the $4,000 900 bonds of Cuba shall be-
come the bonds of the State of Cuba,
with interests reduced to 3 per cent. and
2 per cent, to be applied to sinking
fund; that the present rural guard of
Cuba shall be incorporated into the
Army of the United States; that the
money in the Cuban treasury shall be-
come the money of the State of Cuba.
The resolution closes with the follow
ing declaration:
That the foregoing resolutions are i'll
spired not by a desire to annex forcibly.
or to assert sovereignty over, the Island
of Cuba, or to exercise any form of
oompulsion; but solely by regard for
the interest of the two countries and a
conviction that the interests of the States
composing the Federal Union and Cuba
are identical, and that they can be best
secured by a union under one form of
government in which all shall be repre-
sented on equal terms and be governed
by equal and undiscriminating laws, in
surfing freedom of trade and equality of
right and privilege"
