A detachment Of soldiers under Ma

dition under which alone we could nave
gone to Nicaragua thereby became IN
possible of fulfillment. If the pendlhis
treaty with Panama should not be rat,-
fled by the Senate, this would not al
ter the fact that we could not go "

The President says that Secretals

President Roosevelt speaks OF tiie
resolution adopted by the Pan -Ameri-
can Congress at the City of Mexico
January %, 1902, applauding the pur-
poses of the United States to construct
an inter-oceanic canal and calls atten-
tion to the fact that General Reyes, the
present delegate of Colombia in WASH
ington, was among those VINO slshee
Little could have been foreseen that
two years later the Colombian govern
ment, led astray by false allurements Oh
selfish advantage and forgetful aiike or
its international obligations and OF the
duties and responsibilities OF so'er-
eighty, would thwart the efforts OF the
United States to enter upon and com
plete a work which the nations Oh
America, re-echoing the sentiment OF
the nations of Europe. had pronounced
to be not only worthy of the greatness
of the American people but also IN
the highest sense a work of civiliza-
tion'
In conclusion. let me repeat that the
question actually before this govern
ment is not that of the recognition OF
Panama as an independent repupllc.
That is already an accomplished TACT.
The question and the only question is
whether or not we shall build an 18TH

unknown men, bent on robbery, drove
up to the grocery store conducted by
Thomas M. Youngblood at 1875 Ala
media avenue. Valverde. in the south
ern part of the city, and when met by
a refusal from him TO throw up his
hands. they shot and killed his wife,
mortally wounded his son, who came
running to his assistance, and after fir

missed, escaped in their buggy. The

house, and Thomas Youngblood went
to the door. Two men stood there.

man threw the door open and both men
entered. As soon as they wo:e well in
side, both drew revolver: and after
commanding the old man to throw up
his hands they told him to bring them
what money he had in the store.
Thomas Youngblood refused to throw
up his hands and grapped with the
murderer. The grandmother at once
began to scream for help from her son.
With the most cold blooded wantoness
one of the thugs shot her through the
head. the bullet taking effect in the
mouth and ranging up through the
brain. She died instantly.
Almost at the same instant the first
shot was fired Robert Youngblood came

had he appeared than he too was shot
through the head. Fearing that the
noise of the shots would arouse the
neighborhood and result in their cap

Denver, Jan. 4.-Qualfied martial
lay has been declared in San Miguel
county by Governor Peabody. The proc
lamation was issued yesterday and is
more sweeping than the one declaring
martial law in Teller county. Major
Hill, who will be in command in San
Miguel county, is instructed to coop
crate with the civil authorities in main
tanning peace and protecting property,
if possible. and to ignore the civil au-
thorities if it becomes necessary. A
press censorship has been established,
and stories sent out from the Telluride
district which bear upon the operations
of the military authorities and the
matters closely related thereto will be
scrutinized carefully before being re-
leased for publication.
The proclamation is as follows:
Denver, Colo, Jan. 3, 1904.
General Orders No. l:
Whereas. There exists in San Migu-
ell county, state of Colorado, a certain
class of individuals who are acting to-
gether and resisting the laws of the
state, and in offering violence to cti-
zens and to property located in said
san Miguel county. and
Whereas, At divers and sundry
times various crimes have been COM
mitted in said county of San Miguel.
by said individuals. or with the aid and
under the direction of said vicious and
lawless persons; and
Whereas, From time to time. during
the past several years, sundry murders
and other crimes have occurred and a
vast amount of property has been de-
stroyed as result of this lawless con-
dition; and
Whereas, The civil authorities of
said San Miguel county, while general
ly willing to enforce the laws, have
been and still are unable to cope with
the situation and completely protect
the lives and property, and have been
unable to bring the persons guilty of
such crimes and outrages to Justice;
and
Whereas, I have reason to believe
