recommended with great fury.
The renewed activity was first no
tieed on November II. and since then
the fire has been kept up uninter-
ruptedly.
The siege operations OF the Japan
ese are progressing slowly owing to
the necessity of occupying exposed po-
sitions.
Accordingly the losses OF the Japan
ese within the past few days have
probably been the heaviest OF the siege.
The forward movement and process of
occupation is being continued. how

cost

TROUBLE AHEAD
As Result of Reducing
Panama Soldiers to
Rank of Policemen.
Cen. HUERTAS ANGRY

Panama, Nov. 1.-THE, discovery
by Mr. Lee, the American charge
d'affaires, of an army plot in which
General Huertas, the commantler-in-
chief, was claimed to have been i'm
plicated, today led to the relegation
of the Panama army to the police
ranks.
This was done in accordance with
an order Issued by President Amador
after an open cabinet meeting at
which this step was decided upon.
The information was conveyed to
General Huetras by the president who
Immediately ordered the palace guard
withdrawn. In his order to the gener-
al, President Amador says that in
view of existing conditions and the
presence of American troops. military
forces were no longer needful for the
carrying on Of the Panama govern
ment.
The Indignation OF General Huertas
and his staff is great but no threats
were made and the officers withdrew
with dignity. The general stated to-
night that he would Immediately IN
form President Roosevelt of his ver-
sion of the occurrence, at the same
time demanding guarantee from
the United States for the maintenance
and its cost, of the military establish.
ment of which he considers himself
the legitimate head. The general
says that he has been miserably rep
resented in the dispatches sent by
President Amador and other officials
to Washington. He denies Amador's
constitutional right to dissolve the
army without congressional sanction.
He asserts that he is far more friend.
ly to the United States than President
Amador or any member of the present
Panaman cabinet and more sincere in
his avowals Of good will.
Some trouble is feared in conse-
Quence of these happenings, but no
outbreaks have occurred so far. The
streets became abandoned immediate
ly after the true state of affairs had
become known and many merchants
closed their places of business at an
earlier hour than is their wont.
Late tonight Governor General
Davis received a request from Presi-
dent Amador for protection for him.
self and the members of his cabinet.
United States Minister Barrett call
ed at the palace shortly afterward
and Is now in conference with the
president and his advisers.
1t appears from reliable informa-
tion that President Amador's action
may have been inspired by fear of the
army. Ever since patronage of his
friends was denied General Huertas,
he has been in a sullen mood and was
apparently no longer among the en-
thusiastic supporters of Amador's
government. That there has been
rivalry between the two men is we'll
known and with the army at his back
and call Huertas would have been
more than a match for Amador IN the
event OF a conflict The reduction
of the troops to police duty would de-
prive Huertas of his only power and
in order 10 take up the contest he
would be compelled to stigamitize
himself by melting rebellion.
