WILL NOT SUMMON WOOD.
SEoRETARYRooTIsFoRMsMIL MIL-
 ITARY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.

Does Not Feel Jaasifisd in Withdrawing
 Him From Hts Important Duties in
 the Philippine. to Defend Hsmsssf
 Against False News Given Out by
 some One in ths Committee.
 Washington, Dec. 14.-Secretary Root has addressed the following letter to Senator Proctor, acting chairman of the committee on military affairs:
 "Sir: I enclose a letter from Briga- dier General Tasker H. Bliss, asking att tention to the report of his recent tes- timony before your committee as a witt ness regarding certain objections to the confirmation of General Wood. It ap- pears that the press report of General Bliss testimony are the precise con- trary of what he in fact testified. He wishes this set right for his own repu- tation and shall take the liberty of doing so as far as practicable by giv- ing his letter to the press.
 At the same time I wish to call the attention of your committee to the fact that some persons seem to be persist ently furnishing to the press false statements of the testimony taken be- fore you, the perversion of the evidence being in every case to the prejudice of General Wood. It cannot be doubted that the newspapers publishing these reports believe them to be true and that the reports are sent to them by the representatives of the press in good faith, under the same belief.
 Tt Is evident that some person is un- dertaking to convey to the press repre- sentatives information of what goes on in the committee, and is taking advan- tage of the fact that the evidence is not published to state it falsely for the pur- pose of injuring General Wood in the public estimation; so that, while your committee will act upon the evidence actually before 1t, the public Judgment as to how you ought to act will be bas- ed upon an entirely different and err roneous idea of what the evidence is. If the evidence atually given called for General Woods presence, should of course bring him back from the Philip pines, but I do not feel justified in withdrawing him from the important duties which he is performing on ac- count of false reports of evidence which has never in fact been given. It hardly seems fair that an officer who is not here to protect himself, but is serving his country faithfully under orders, on the other side of the world, should have his reputation stabbed in this way earnestly request your committees att tention to this subject
 Very respectfully
 (SigneO "I1lihu Root,
 Secretary of War.''

LANDING OF U. & MARINES
FURTHER PRECA UTIoN AGAINST
 COLOMBIAN ATTACK.
Company sent to Yaviza, Up the San
 Been Reported Colombia Troops Have Been sent-ooncentration of Forces at
Important Points.

Colon. Dec. 14.-A company of ma- rines from the United States cruiser Prairie was landed here this morning under the command of Captain Smed- ley D. Butler and immediately started by train for Panama. The destination of the marines is said to be Yaviza, up the San Miguel gulf and Tuira river.
 It is believed that the decision of the navy authorities to station marines at Yaviza. may possibly be owing to the reports that Colombian troops have been seen in that direction. but up to the present time there is no reason to believe that any large force is under or- ders to march to Panama from Cauca.
 The opinion seems to prevail that the few Colombian soldiers seen were scouts who were endeayoring to learn what preventive and protective meas ures were being taken by the republic of Panama, and that it was their pres ence which gave rise to the exaggerated rumors of speedy attack by Colombia on the isthmus. .-.. .... .-.ts
 It is more likely that the movement of marines to Yaviza is in conformity with the policy of the naval authorities to concentrate forces at points which offer the best facilities for getting inl- mediate information of any movement by Colombian troops towards Panama, and at the same time of affording the marines some relief from their confine- ment on the ships. The marines car ried with them all requisites for camp life and also number of machine guns.

LAKE SUPERIOR AFFAIRS.
Step by Canadian Courts to Prevent
 sale by spcger & %.

ag P. }.
 Toronto, Dec. 1.-The court here will wind up the Consolidated Lake Supe- rior company and all proceedings in any way related to that company must now be with the consent of the Cana dian courts. A voluntary liquidation order has been granted by Justice Mac MaEon to three Philadelphia. sharehold- CTS.
 Spencer Love, representing the Con- solidated company, consented to the or der being granted and the Toronto Gen. eral Trust corporation has been ap- pointed to act with John G. Curruth of Philadelphia as provisional iquidators.
 This course will, it is said, prevent the sale by Speyer & Co. ii New York tomorrow. Under the winding up act all proceedings relating to the company must be with the sanction of the court and the court has not sanctioned the sale tomorrow in New York.
 The procedeings will, the company's representatives say, have the further effect Of bringing the speyer claim be- fore the Canadian court for investiga- ton.
 James Bicknell, who is now in pos- session for Speyers' receiver, says this move on behalf of the company will not adversely affect Speyer & Co. and will not put the Consolidated company in any better position
 Philadelphia, Dec. 14-According to statements made by Samuel Clemente, of New York, attorney for the Moffy committee, bill in equity will be filed in the supreme court of the county of New York tomorrow by John G. Car ruth, receiver of the Consolidated Lake Superior company against Speyer & Co MT. Clemente says the bill will att tack the methods of the New York bankers in their transaction with the Consolidated Lake Superior company, and will ask the court to set aside any sale which may be made tomorrow of the securities and properties pledged to the Speyer syndicate.

BOSTON CITY ELECTION.

Most ApRshetic Ever Waged-CoiiIns Re-eisction Assured.
 Boston, Dec. 1.-The most apathetic municipal campaign ever waged in this city closed tonight with few scatter ed rallies, principally in the interests of aldermanic and common council candi- dates.
 The city election will be held to-mor- row. but a large vote is not expected. The polls will be open all day. It is practically certain that Mayor Patrick A. Collins will be reelected by a sub- stantial plurality, as George N. Swal- low, the republican mayoralty candi- date, has not waged a vigorous cam paign. The republican city committee, however, claims that the party has been handicapped by the lack of campaign funds, while the democrats have had money in plenty.

 Chicago, Dec. 14.-The invasion of the municipal service by labor unions was to-day ordered brought to a halt by Mayor Harrison. Tn the municipal branches of the city's service" said the mayor, where the enaploye is simply a working man, it is all right for him to belong to a union. but where the man belongs to a department like the f1remen or policemen, he has no right to have a divided allegiance. He must owe alie- glance to only one master. the city of Chicago"
 The voicing of the mayors sentiments along this line was occasioned by the receipt of an appeal from engineers of the fire department asking for increased wages. The men seeking the increase are members of union.
