DoWIE ON HIS TRAVELS.
Tries to Make Himsslf Clear on the Racs
 Question.

San. Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1O.-John Dowie and his six deacons leave here tomorrow for San Francisco on his trip to Australia. He attended the opening of a hotel at q nearby resort to-day and entered his protest against the lav- ish silver service and the stuffed pig on the menu.
 This afternoon Dowie addressed about three thousand people in a local audito- rum. He wanted to make himself clear on the race question. He said that the Anglo Saxon race is superior to the ne- gro race, but that there was a time when the black brother was superior to the white, and the white man should be just to the negro and endeavor to lift him up. Dowie found fault with the southern people in that they were not up to date. and he ridiculed the slow time by the railroad whose guest he has been during the past several days. His only reference to the prospective establishment of Ziolg City and plant ation on the Texas coast was contained in the statement that at some near date he might become a neighbor of the peo- pie of San Antonio.

REYES FINAL FAILURE.
State Department Reltsrates Ii Will
 Not Open Panama Case.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Secretary Hay yesterday sent another communication to General Rafael Reyes, the Colombian envoy, in response to his protest against the action of the United States regard ing affairs on the Isthmus of Panama. While state department officials decline to make any specific statement as to its nature, 1t is understood that in a general way it follows the lines laid down in the reply to General Reyes first note, which practically declines to reopen the Panama negotiations.
 General Reyes is ready to leave the city at any time for Colombia, where his personal and political interests re- quire his attention. It was said to- night that he might leave this country within the next ten days, but no i'm formation was obtainable from General Reyes on that subject tonight, as he declined to see newspaper reporters on the plea that he was very busy. From the standpoint of the state department there is no reason why he should hasten his departure, as he might very well remain and render considerable service to his country. The suggestion was
 made tonight that possibly he might remain and make an effort to open dip- | lomatic relations with the republic of Panama, through its representative here, for the adjustment of such ques- ] tions as the assumption by Panama of a portion of the exterior debt of Colom- bia. Some suggestion also has been made, though not officially, of a re- l union of the governments under the name of the republic of Colombia, Pan- anna to have an autonomous govern | ment with absolute authority to deal with all questions relating to the con- i trol of canal matters.
 Washington, Jan. 10.--A dispatch to l the navy department from Rear-Ad-
 miral Coghlan, commanding the Amer | ican naval forces on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus of Panama, says that a sailing vessel which has just arrived at Colon reports the arrival of three hun dred Colombian troops at St. Andrews s
 Island. This island is off the coast of
 Nicaragua, but is a dependency of Co., 1 lombia. Admiral Coghlan says this in- formation confirms that which he had previously in regard to the report of the landing of these troops. It is be- lieved that the troops were those which left the mouth of the Atrata river some time ago, bound for the north. It is be- | lieved they went to St. Andrews Island l to put down secession movement
 which, it was announced, had assumed some shape there.

 steamer New York.

New York, Jan. 10.-The American
 line steamer New York, which arrived
 to-day from Southampton. was closely
 followed by the French line steamer

 in time of arrival at the lightship. Both
 steamers encountered terrific gales and
 seas. The New York had a particular |ly severe gale from the w. N. w, with
 violent squalls and high head seas on
 Wednesday, January 6. The ship had slowed down in the gale to secure some gear, when an enormous sea curied lover the bow and swept overheard F.. Comulisch, a seaman.
 A life buoy was thrown to him and | almost ssl instantly Second Officer Keys, taking a turn about his body with a line jumped into the sea after the sea- man, who had in the meantime secured a hold on the buoy. Before the second officer could get to the unfortunate man he lost his grasp on the buoy and dis appeared. The second officer was then hauled aboard. It is thohght that Com Iulisch was benumbed by the cold, hay ing been some time on duty on the fore castle deck. The New York brought
 s1, ,045, 900 in specie.
 La Savoie also caught the gale of
 the 9th, and huge rolling wave of tre- mendous height swept over the bow, dashed aft with tremendous force, smashed In the forward bulkhead of the
 smoking room under the bridge and flooded the compartment. The ship
 was slowed down immediately. The sea struck the ship at II o'clock and all the passengers were up, but became alarmed at the staggering effect of the shock. The forward bulkhead under the bridge was smashed in, causing a
 hole about twelve feet across rails and stanchions were also bent and broken.

in Many others,

Springfield, Mass, Jan. 10.-William J. Reid. alias L. o. Hoffman, who is charged with swindling thirty-two ho- tels of about s1O.OO0, from the Atlantic to the Pacific in 1902 and is now under sentences aggregating ten years for
 these offences. broke jail here to-day
 under remarkable circumstances.
 Tn his escape he unlocked nine doors and sawed through three chains, visited six different rooms of the county jail,
 passed in front of watchers and finally climbed an eighteen foot wall. This
 was accomplished at o'clock this morning, yet he was not missed until o'clock. He was supposedly too weak to move without the use of crutch, had been practically bedridden for three
 months, and so far as the prison officers
 know had eaten nothing but beef broth in all that time. Tn order to get through
 the many doors he must have used a first class hacksaw and key that per- l fectly fitted the various locks, yet there | is not the slightest clew to the manner
 in which he obtain these articles. While
 he was working his way out he broke into various rooms and shops to obtain suit of clothes, some tools that he af-
 rewards found were not needed, and a
 small ladder for use in scaling the outer wall. Sheriff D. P. Clark tonight made
 thorough investigation, but he finds
 that many details of the escape are still unexplained. Every effort has been made to track him, but without success
 so far. He was seen immediately out side the jail, but not afterwards.
 Reid was arrested in San Francisco under sensational circumstances in
 June. 1902, and after legal battle was
 brought to Springfield. He was sen- tenced to four years and six months in the county jail for swindling hotels
 here. and immediately sentenced in Bos-
 ton to five years in states prison. for
 swindling Boston hotels.
 Reid defrauded the Hotel Garde and
 several, ofther local hostelries.

Kwan have deserted their posts, think ing that the country traversed by the railroad will surely be the scene of the fighting.
 Reports from Manchuria are to the effect that there is great military activ- ity there. The railroads are bringing troops from Russia, and the women and children at Port Arthur and New Chwang are preparing to leave. The Russian general at New Chwang has been called to Port Arthur for service. Every steamer from North China for Japan Is carrying the Japanese who be- long to the reserves.
 The Japanese censorship of military news gives opportunity for all kinds of rumors here, one of which is that Jap anese troops have been landed at Flu san, Corea. As cable communication with Corea is through Japan it is im- possible to obtain reliable news.
