TREACHERY BROUGHT ON

Washington, Jan. Accompany.
ing the presidents message today was
the correspondence between General
Reyes on behalf Of Colombia and Sec,
rotary Hay.
Reyes first letter was dated Deem
Der $, in which he inquired as TO the
attitude OF the Unite States in the
event Of landing troops in Panama.
The feature Of Hays reply dated
December H. was his answer to Rey-
es inquiry. On this point Hay said
THE government of tie United
States would regard with the g.ayest
concern any invasion of the territory
Of Panama by Colombian troops. for
the reason that bloodshed and dlsord
.er would inevitably result throughout
the whole extent OF the lsthumus.
On December 80, Hay replied in
Similar manner TO the second let
ter from Reyes practically repeating
the inquiry made in his letter Of De
cember s, adding that the time which
had elapsed since December Il had on
ly tended to deepen the painful i'm.
preston which would be created in
this country by an armed invasion Of
Panamas territory by the Colombian
troops and the sense OF the RESPONSE /.
bility which would thereby be imposed I
on the government Of the United /
States
He said he had been instructed to I
inform Reyes that this government
has only the friendliest Intentions to.
ward Colombia and win not be lightly
provoked into assuming hostile
attitude against that republic
The two letters written by Minister
Narilla, of Panama, 20 the secretary
Of state also made a part OF the cor.
respondence sent To the senate. Both
letters are under the date Of Decem-
br 81. The first letter informs Hay
that the government of Panama de-
sires to receive Immediately after the /
exchange of the notifications of treaty
oily two million dollars of the ten
million dollars to be paid by the
United States, leaving the remainder
to be later employed for investment in
consistent work which would perman

According to this principal varilla
inquiries whether the United States
government would pay interest of 3
per cent ON the $S,00o000 which would
)e left in the United States treasury.
He suggests the converting of a
special convention covering this point
t it meets the approval of the United
States.
The second letter informs Hay that

disclosures in the congressional and
senatorial Investigations to show how
general and widespread corruption
has become. He said the time had
come when an awakened public con-
science must be put against money,
and he appealed for morality in all
questions.
He referred to the daily papers as
the daily bulletins of corporations, +"
and spoke of the praiseawhich they be-
slowed upon a trust magnate who hap
pens to bequeath money for public in
situations OF any sort. On the money
question, he said the increase in gold
since 1886 had given just what the sill
verites were contending for.
Mr.. Bryan said that the Republican
scheme is to make silver money re-
deemable in gold. and then retire it
with an issue of bonds.
He denounced imperialism, and said
that the Southern people who endured
carpet bag rule after the war were in
a position to sympathize with the Fill
pinos, whom we have bought at 81. so
a head.
Mr.. Bryan stated that he was speak
ing for pure Democratic principals as
against the plan of the reorganizers,
and he appealed TO his audience to help
him keep the party in line with the
platform which was adopted at Chicago,
and reafiirmed at Kansas City.
A feature of Mr.. Bryans visit was a
delightful luncheon at the Valdosta
Hotel from to 2:S0 o'clock. 1t was
his first appearance here. and though
the people rather enjoyed his visit, it
is the opinion of three-fourths of those
who heard him that he will not be the
great factor in the party that he has
been heretofore.

CHARGES AGAINST SWAYNE
Are to Receive Further Investiga-
ton at Tallahassee.

Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 1.-THE last
session of the Swayne Investigating
Committee in Pensacola was held to-
day, and the committee will leave to-
morrow for Tallahassee to pursue the
investigation there.
The session was consumed in hear
ing testimony upon Judge Swayne's
conduct in sentencing persons for con-
tempt. Among these were Gen. Simon
Belden of New Orleans and Z. T. Da-
Wis, who were both sentenced to pay q
fine of 500 or ten days in connection
with the suit of Florida, MCGUIRE VS..
the Pensacola City Company some two
years ago.
Attorney w. A. Blount was placed
on the stand to testify as to his knowl-
edge of law and Judge Swaynes con-
duct in these cases, and said that the
contempt sentence was perfectly prop
er under the circumstances.
The contempt sentence of sixty days
placed on the late Banker w, c.
O'NeaI for the alleged assaulting of a
trustee in bankruptcy was recalled,
and the witness gave it as his opinion
that it was not proper, and that Judge
Swayne had exceeded his authority in

BRYAN AT VALDOSTA SCORED

Mr.. Bryan was taken in charge by

three-fourths of his audience was op-
posed to his views on the money ques-
tion, though he was given an exceed

quently applauded.
His speech indicated some bitterness
as a result of the campaigns four and
eight years ago. Referring to the de-
sire for harmony on the part of the
reorganizers. he said that he had suf-
fered as much for lack of harmony as
any of them. He said that the Demo-
cratic party lost ground during Cleve-
lands administration because the Pres
ident was controlled by coterie in
Wall street. He also said that wher-
ever political corruption is found DEM

publicans in sharing in the spoils.
He said that more than half of the
voters of Delaware received pay for
their votes. and touched upon corrup-

Cherry and First streets practically de-
stroyed three large dwellings, only
lightly covered by insurance. One was
occupied by Isadore Wolf, one by Mrs.
Albert Whitman and the third by Luke
Odom.
The fire originated in the central
structure. All were two and one-half
stories in hight, and that made the fire
difficult to control. The fire depart
ment was badly handicapped by lack
of water pressure, frequent occur
renee here. An imperfect flue started
the blaze, which was under fierce head
way before it was discovered, break
ing from the roof of the house occu-
pied by Mrs. Albert Whitman. Handi-
capped as the department was, it could
not prevent the spread of the flames on
each side, and while the frame work of
all three residences still remains. yet
the loss, expected to aggregate about
sac, 900, was almost total.
The residence occupied by 7. H. An
derson on the west side of the burning
group, was also slightly damaged, and
for a time it looked as if the Park Ho-
tel would go, but the general alarm
brought sufficient means to the scene
to cope with the blaze.
A peculiar feature of the fire is that
this was the third time in two years
these dwellings had been afire.
