age is Se5e,0O0. :,

New York City.-The famous "two
nines' fire alarm. summoning more fire
apparatus than any other alarm pro-
vided for by New York's Fire Depart.
ment, was sounded for a terrific fire,
which destroyed the siX-story factory

tory of the firm. run under the name
of the II. Hermann Lumber Com
pany.
A quarter Of million dollars dam

in the rear of the burning buildings.
The fire started on the third floor,
and when the firemen arrived the first,
second and third floors were in blaze.
The third, fourth and fifth alarms were

PROTEST OF COLOMBIA
Foreign Minister Denies American
Rights in Panama :
Declares That the United States Departed
From All Precedents-EoreiSn Powers
Fully Approve Our Course.

Bogota. Colombia.-Dr. Luis Carlos
Rico. Minister of Foreign Affairs, has
cabled General Reyes. at Washington
under date Of December 16. as fol
lows:
eff the explana ton which the United
States Government has given to the
press is Of a diplomatic character. an
swer clearing the following points: I
"By the treaty of 1916 the United
States did not acquire control over
inter-oceanic transit. but entered intd
obligations by which, for compensatory
favors, it guaranteed the neutrality.
property and sovereignty Of the 18th
mus, the sovereignty being indlvisible.
If the United States Government pre-
vents the Government of Colombia
from subduing the rebels. then it ought
to submit them to Colombian authority.
"The United States has never pro.
tected Colombia against foreign inya.
sions. Whenever that Government has
interfered to prevent the interruption
of traffic, it has been because Of the
rights granted or at C0lombia's re-
quest. Only in this instance has it in.
terfered, on its own initiative. with
the evident object Of protecting the Sc.
cessionists on the Isthmus.
"If the guarantee of neutrality were
to be looked upon as a privilege ii
would prevent the sovereign govern.
ment from keeping order on the 18th.
mus, which is against the principles OF
all governments.
"The protocols Of 1879 did not grant
any new rights to the United States,
much less the right of dominating this
territory. The Hay-Herran Canal
treaty did not modify the obligations
which the United States contracted
by the treaty of 1916 to guarantee the
neutrality, sovereignty, and property
Of the Isthmus. When this treaty was
disapproved, no new propositions were
made.
"The orders given by the United
States Government to its Navy have
helped to favor the secession move
ment, and Colombia was at peace when
this movement was begun.
"The conduct of the Washington Ex-
ecutive has been and now is favorable
in every way to the rebellion, but not
to the maintenance Of order, which is
contrary to the principles and ante
cedents Of the United States Govern
ment and to the policy established by
it during the American war Of seceS-
sion. RICO, Minister"
Washington, D. C.-According to a
statement made by prominent Euro.
pean Ambassador the refusal by the
United States to consent to PROPOSE.
ton from Colombia for reference
of the Panama question to The Hague
Tribunal, will be fully approved BY
the European powers.
A. question between Colombia and
Panama which with all propriety
might be referred to The Hague. and
to which reference the United States
will scarcely offer objection, is the
question Of the assumption by Panama
of part Of the Colombian debt.

sia was handed to Baron de Rosen at
a conference between the Russian Min
lister and Foreign Minister Komura, in
the Russian Legation.
Japan's reply is in no way / the ma
ture Of an ultimatum, but she asks
Russia to reconsider certain essential
points in her reply to Japan. Baron
de Rosen is now sufficiently recovered
to resume the negotiations.
st. Petersburg, Russia.-0Mcials Of
the Foreign Office do not share the pes
simistic feeling regarding the situation
in the Far East which now seems to
be general. They say there is no rea-
son to despair Of peaceful settlement

and Japan are at variance. ~

patch from Toxic was the first intima-
ton the Japanese; Legation here re-
ceived. that Japan's reply had actually
been communicated to Baron de .Rosen.
The Legation later communicated the
details Of the reply to the British For
eign Office, but refused to divulge the
details. The Legation admitted that
in general terms the dispatch from To-
kio covered the situation, which Le-
CATION official characterized as heing
"quite grave" but one from which no
decisive developments could be ex-
pected Immediately. .-.
Lord Rothschild, while declining to
venture an opinion as to the outcome
of the japanese Russian crisis, said:

MURDERS WHOLE FAMILY
Machinist Kills His Wife, Three
Children and Himself
Three Little Ones Shot to Death After
Frantic Struggle For
Their Lives.

Cleveland, Ohio-After writing and
mailing a letter to friend telling him
that he intended to murder his family,
Roscoe w. Derby, machinist, killed
his wife and three children, and then
committed suicide. The crime was one
Of the most deliberate ever committed
in. this city. =
Derby, who was thirty-nine years Of
age, lived with his family in the Albion
Terrace, on Barbara street. To all ap-
pearances the family was in comforta-
BILE circumstances. Derby had work
and earned good wages.
The crimes were extraordinary in
their thoroughness and there was, eVi.
dently, no mishap in the enactment.
The wife was killed first, while Sleep
ing at her husbands side in bed; two
of the children were killed as they
ran hither and thither through the
house in the darkness Of early morning
eudeaVoring to escape their merciless
parent. The third child was killed in
its bed after the elder brother and
sister had been killed. The dead are:
Roscoe Derby; his wife, Della; Harold.
aged eight; Alice, aged seven, and
Thomas, aged five.
Derby had been out late one night.
When he got home. his wife and he
talked with a neighbor who had been
calling, over the approaching festival.
Derby seemed pale and nervous. Short
ly after his arrival at home the neigh
Dor left and the Derby family went
to bed. 49,.
The crime is believed to have been
committed about o'clock in the morn.
ing. Mrs. Derby was shot to death In
bed, two bullets having been fired into
her forehead, and a third, probably
fired after the children had been exter-'
minated in the back Of the neck. Mrs.
Derby probably was killed during
sleep, the expression on her face show
ing no sign Of struggle, and it was
calm and peaceful. .. r.
Two Of the children, however. proba-
bly, had a struggle with their infuriated
parent, because they had been aWak-
ened by the noise Of the revolver being
fred and sought to escape him, but
without avail Harold's body was
found lying in a pool of blood in the
kitchen. and that of Alice in the dining
room with her face to the floor and
bullet in her breast. :
After the extraordinary crimes had,
been committed, the perpetrator Of
them went into the bedroom where
his wife had been killed, and lying
down at her side fired bullet into his
own brain, and died at his wife's side.
The GOODNESS of the murderer was In
dicated by the fact that each of his vic
tins was shot through the head. In
all he fred nine bullets into the four
victims. Apparently he reloaded the
five-chambered revolver twice, for it
had four unexploded cartridges IN 1t
whe,. found lying beside his body.
