Colon (By Cable) e).-News reached
here that about 200 armed men, who
are thought to be malcontent Pana-

ties OF the canal zone became cogni-
zant of the appearance of this force
marines were sent out to ascertain
their purpose. 1t was rumored that
skirmish occurred inland, in which
several were killed, but there is no

Washington (SpeciaD The report.
ed seizure by the United States of the
custom-house at Puerto Plata pre-
sumably arises from the already ac.
complished or contemplated occupa'
tion of that port by an American
designated by the commission which
awarded to the Santo Domingo I'm
provement Company $4,000 900 dam
ages against Santo Domingo. That
award was automatically self-execut-
ing. and provided that it Santo Do
mngo failed to pay the award the
agent named by the commission was
to take charge of four of the Gus
toms ports OF the island and apply
90 per cent. OF the revenues 10 the
payment of the claims The affair is
not one in which the United States
government is interested. except in
the contingency that the government
OF Santo Domingo fails entirely to
meet its obligations to the improve
ment company, and then only to the
extent OF seeing that its interests
shall not suffer through such neglect.
The officials say no forcible intcrven-
ton by the government of the United
States is contemplated at this time.

MAIN ARMIES RESTING.
Kuropatklu Sends Fresh Men Into the Trenches
Figures Of Loss Are Cut

St. Petersburg (By Cable). - The
rival armies OF Russia and Japan, in
trenched a short distance from each
other south of the Shakhe River, are
forced to continue inactivity until the
fine weather now prevailing dries the
sodden ground and the tired warriors
are sufficiently rested TO resume oper-
atoms.
A dispatch from Mukden reports
that the Russians on Friday confined
themselves to a bombardment of Shak-
he Station and the adjoining village
Of Lamatung, the Japanese feebly re-
spending. This news clears up an in.
tercstirE point and shows that Shak-
he Station is not held by the Rus
slams.
Correspondents report that some
regiments OF the Fifth Siberian Corps
have been engaged in slight skir-
mishes on the advance line the las,

Jersey Dromio Tried TO Foil BertlIion System

Railway. n. J., (SpeciaD Around
two Dromios of Elizabeth, James and
Mitchael feeling, twin brothers, is
woven a story of jailbreaking. and how
one, by soaring himself with acid and
tatto marks, sought to confess the au-
thorities and discredit the infallibilty
OF the Bertillon system of measure
meuts. In the case of Michael cum
ming failed He was arrested, only to
escape, and his brother also is al
large.
The story runs thus: A year or sc
ago James feeling was sent to the
New Jersey Rcformatory, in this
place, for wife beating. He was parol-
ed, but early in the summer broke
his parole and disappeared While
in the Reformatory he was measured
according to the Bertillon standard
and photographed.
Last week word was received from
Elizabeth that feeling had been ar
rested. Edward A. Schwartz, who has
charge of the Bertilon system at the
rcformatory, was sent after him. The
prisoner protested against his reten-
ton, and denied that he was ever in
the rcformatory. To the ordinary OBJ
server, his description tailed in every
detail with that OF the man wanted.

General Sakharoff telegrapns that the
Russians have been bombarding La
muting and the Buddhist temple at
Linshinpu, while the Japanese have
been shelling the Russian position at
Shakhe and near Linshinpu. A dis
patch from Mukden reports that the
Japanese are fortifying an important
height south of Shakhe, and that
neither side shows a disposition either
to advance or TO retire. Another dis
patch from the Russian front says
the situation is not yet ripe for the
resumption of the offensive. This
meager but significant admission, all
that the censor allows to pass over
