INVASION OF PANAMA.
Colombian Government Said to Be
Helpless to Prevent 1t.

New York, Feb. This cable dis
patch was received here from an Off
cial source in Bogota. according to
the Sun:
Government is helpless in effort to
prevent war. In less than month
from now 10000 men will be on the
Isthmus''
This information, confirming rumors
cabled from Panama that Colombia in.
tends organizing and sending an eX'
pedition against Panama, comes as a
surprise, in view of the changed atti
tude of the Colombians, who had ap'
parently accepted the inevitable and
depended on General Raphael Reyes
their special envoy to Washington, to
save what he could from the wreck
says the Sun.
General Reyes was to have sailed
Saturday for Rarranquilla on the
steamer Valencia, but for the second
time he deferred his departure. Gen
eral Pedro Nelisphina and De Lucas
Caballero, colleagues of General
Reyes on the Colombian commission
sailed on the Valencia.
The story continues, on seemingly
good authority it is stated. that Gen
eral Reyes remains here because his
negotiations with the state depart
ment at Washington have not been
completely broken off and that he has
a tentative promise from this gov
ernment that Colombia will be taken
care of with a pecuniary balm for hel
injured feelings.

Victims Of flarwIck (Pa.) Disaster Be.

ing Recovered.
Pittsburg, Feb. $50 far 152 bodies
have been recovered from the Har-
wick mine near Cheswick. Forty or
fifty bodies, it is believed, are still In
the mine.
The explosion which caused the
terrible loss Of life seems to have
been a double one, making one con-
tinuous rumble, and the second blast
was heard rolling back under the hills
toward the south end of the mine,
which contains by far the largest part
Of the workings. The mine is at the
head of what is known as Shops run.
The highest officials of the Harwick
mine and nearly every miner who is
alive in the little mining village are
at loss to give the cause for the ter
rible disaster. It is the opinion of the
majority, however, that the explosion
was caused by some. foreign miner
striking a match to light his pipe,
which set off the heavy charge of gas
that was always present in the mine.
Another theory for the explosion is
that it was caused by a heavy blast
in the mine whereby new pocket of
gas was struck and Immediately ig-
nited. There are still others who in
sist that the gaseous substance was
set off by broken safety lamp in the
hands of one of the miners.
1t was the opinion of the rescuers
around the top of the Harwick mine
shaft that the real cause of the explo-
sion would never be known and they
gave as their reason that the miner
or miners who were probably respon-
sible for the catastrophe were dead.

AMEs is A FREE MAN.
Supreme Court Releases the Former
Mayor of Minneapolis.


Mayor of Minneapolis.
st. Paul. Jan. 30.-By decision
handed down in the state supreme
court Friday, Former Mayor A. A.
Ames of Minneapolis, who was under
sentence of six years in the state peni-
tentiary for accepting bribes from fall
en- women to secure them immunity
from arrest, regains his freedom, and,
possibly, is freed from further prose-
cution on these charges.
The appeal of the defendant rested
its main contention on the invalidity
of the indictment upon which DR..
Ames was tried, maintaining that it
charged the commission of more than
one offense, and that the state should
have elected upon which charge it
would rest its case. This contention
the majority of the supreme court
overrules.
The supreme court is unanimous in
reversing the judgment of the Hen
nepin county court, but arrives at this
conclusion by different methods. The
majority opinion, which was written
by Judge Lewis and concurred in by
Chief Justice Start and Justice Col
Inns, holds that the indictment is valid,
but that there was "a failure of proof
to sustain the offense charged The
minority opinion, written by Justice
Lovely and concurred in by Justice
Brown, holds that the indictment it.
self was invalid because it alleged
more than one offense.

RUSSIA is PREPARED
Mobiles RESERVES IN MAN
cHURIA FOR USE IN THE
EVENT OF WAR.
Feverish Activity Of Japan Given as
the Reason for the Steady increase
Of the Russian Army and Navy in
Trains Daily Passing Over the
Transsiberian Railroad.

st. Petersburg, Feb. I'm spite OF
the expressed hope OF the Russian AL.
thorities that the present crisis will
be passed and that pacific solution
of the Russo-Japanese negotiations
will be reached it is no longer con-
cealed that Russia is practically pre-
pared for eventualities. During the
day the mobilization of the Manchu-
rian reserves was announced.
It has been we'll known for months
that Russia has been steadily strength
ening her army and havy in the far
East to meet the preparations which
Japan was openly making. The avail
able warships were dispatched to the
far East and the last division, which
left the Mediterranean a month ago,
is now nearing it's destination. Quiet
ly, but surely, it was necessary that
Russia's preparations should keep
pace with those of her diplomatic ad-
versary. The feverish activity of
Japan during the last few weeks
naturally increased the distrust of
her ultimate intentions and the Rus
sian authorities have been pushing
their precautionary measures with
more vigor. 1t is understood that six
or seven military trains daily have
been going east over the Siberian
road and the charters of some ships
cargoes for the Pacific have been can
celled because the water route was
considered too slow.
The authorities now feel that the
situation is secure should Japan re-
ject Russia's proposition.
The draft of Russia's reply probably
will be submitted to the cZar within
twenty-four hours 1t is stated that
it will be pacific and should lead" to
q settlement
The Russian papers agree that
treaty guarantees covering Manchuria
and permission for Japan to fortify
Southern Korea, making closed sea
of the Sea of Japan, are impossible.
