AFRAID OF REVOLT2
United States Troops Will Remain
In Panama for Some Time.
Isthmian Government In Loyal hut
There Are Malcontents Who
Are Anxious TO Start
Trouble.

Washington, Oct. 81. - American
marines will be retained on the 18th
mus Of Panama for the present, pre-
pared to meet any emergency which
may arise as the result of the dis
gruntled elements in the new repub-
lie. This decision was reached yes
terday and orders have been issued
for a new battalion of marines to go
to the isthmus about November Is to
relieve the battalion which has been
there for year. The new battalion
will be commanded by Lieut.. Col.
Thomas Wood.
That the situation on the isthmus Is
still not all that could be desired Is
the news which came to Washington
in a personal letter from an official
now in Panama. While the Panama
government is entirely loyal, It seems
that there are certain disgruntled ele-
ments in the isthmus and in view Of
the ease with which revolutions are
started in Central and South America
1t is the official opinion here that the
marines should remain there for the
present.
It is hoped that the mission Of Sec
rotary Taft will have far-reaching
effect in bringing all elements on the
isthmus into harmonious accord with
this governments policy.

JAMES 9. SHERMAN.

man Of the house committee on In
dian affairs. took occasion to declare
that the next important step in the
solution of the so-called Indian ques-
ton was to incorporate in the ena-
bling act admitting the Indian terri
tory into the union as one or two
states, a clause forever excluding the
gale Of intoxicating drinks in the new
state or states. Addressing the wom-
en-, he said: How can this be done?
You can do 1t, and do It in just the
same way as you forcnd congress by
n unanimous vote to exclude Roberts.
You can set such fire blazing that
no congressman will dare to oppose
this new crusade"

Mukden, Oct. 24.-While no pitched
battle has occurred during the last
few days, the two armies are kept
In touch with one another, holding the
positions they occupied when the big
battle ended. There is no evidence
that the Russian army will rush nc TIL.
rs was the case after the battle OF
Lao Yang. In fact the Russians have
another line of defense to fall back
on in the event that they are forced
out of their present positions.
During the last few days there has
been frequent artillery fire, occasional
infantry attacks and daily clashes be-
tween outposts and scouts.
Unless the Japanese take the initia-
tive soon the Russians, It is expected,
will resume the offensive and en-
deavcr % drive the Japanese back for
the purpose of insuring the safety OF
their winter quarters, which will un-
doubtedly be north of Mukden unless
a southwark advance Is successful.
Another big battle is expected
shortly. as the weather is already turn
ing cold. 1t will be impracticable for
the two armies to winter in their
present positions, midway between
Mukden and Lao Yang.
Many incidents are coming to light
showing the bravery Of the Russian
soldiers during their stubborn resist
ance to the Japanese advance and In
their attempts to drive the Japanese
back. The men fought night and day
without rest and afterward worked
for hours carrying the wounded to the
hospitals. When the Russian troops
racaptured Lone Tree hill they retooli
several guns and quantity Of ammu-
milton which the Japanese had pre-
viously captured. They also took sew
eral Japanese guns in addition.
At the conclusion Of the fight the
hill was covered with the dead and
wounded of both armies. The Jap
anese prisoners were treated by the
Russians with the greatest kindness
At one hospital SISTED by the Asso-
ciated press correspondent japanese
privates were found in their officers
ward. The army medical corps and
the Red Cross societies did splendid
work. The wounded were dressed ard
forwarded to the hospitals with tie
