cusSeS Loss OF Panama.
New York, Oct. 3.-Copies have just
been received here of the report to his
government of General Rafael Reyes
(now president of Colombia), who was
sent to this country on special diplo-
matte mission in an attempt to modify
the action of the American govern
ment in regard to Colombian interests
in Panama. The mission was without
result
The report, which is of considerable
length, severely arraigns the short
sightedness of the Colombian repre-
sentatives that led to the misfortunes
tiations over the Hay-Herran treaty
says:
States government had granted to us
by way of compensation in the Hay
Herran treaty much more than we had
asked in the memorandum of our min-
lister in Washington which served as a
basis for that treaty Comparing these
two documents the government Of the
United States might well point to the
generosity Of it's dealings with Colon
bia and obtain the public opinion Of
the civilized world, especially that Of
the United States and France. in con-
sidering as an indisputable fact that
the obstinacy of our government was
the only real obstacle to the construc-
tion of the canal by the United States,
which was the only agency capable Of
bringing to a completion so colossal
and gigantic work.

JArANESE MOVING SLOWLY.
Have More Respect for Russians Since
Battle of Liaoyang.

Battle of Liaoyang.
Mukden, Oct. 3.-The prolonged ac-
tivity on both sides emphasizing a
new situation clearly shows that the
battle of Liaoyang was rightfully de-
scribed as the end of the first stage
of the war, making necessary the
adoption of new tactics by the Japan
ese and rehabilitation in order to meet
the proved fact that if the Russians
are caught in a decisive conflict it
must be on their own ground and terms
and with their full knowledge. 1t is
therefore supposed that the Japanese
are entrenching, but it is not improb-
able that they will still attempt a
flanking movement east. The contest
ever dignity is due in war to antag-
onists having the highest mutual re-
spect and has entered upon the more
serious application of the uncertain
war period 1t is notable that both
armies have ceased recriminations Or
attempts to make capital from uncon-
vincing and discredited stories Of tor
ture and the use of illegal weapons
and the misuse of white and Red Cross
flags, while the petty treatment OF
prisoners has disappeared and there
is more liberal inteR Rpretation of the
exigencies of the conflict.
1t is estimated that 10000 Chinese
refugees are now at Mukden, but the
natives appear unintelligent. The
aspect of Mukden and its environs is
now one Of dust and desolation. The
natives have fed and the wooden
parts of their houses have been used
for firewOOd

WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

While admitting that important de-

flank Of the Manchurian army the Rus
{ sian war office withholds details. 1t is
surmised, however, that the move
ments in progress have for their OBJ
ject the defeat Of the Japanese turn
ing movement against the Russian
left, which dispatches for the past two
weeks have vaguely indicated. St. Pc
tersburg still doubts that Oyama has
yet sufficiently rehabilitated himself
to drive home this maneuver, although
the Japanese are still pouring across
the Taitse river to the northeast OF
LiaOyang. st. Petersburg intimates
that should the Japanese commander
much longer postpone the offensive it
is not impossible that kuropatkin,
with increasing fresh accessions to his
army, may himself decide to strike.
The same significant silence is main
tanned in Toxic that prevailed during
the days Immediately preceding the
operations which eliminated in the
great battle at LiaOyang.

those occurring at o'clock. DR.. Gray

Immediately administered moderate
doses of stimulants and restoratives
and these sufficed to bring about a
prompt rally. At $50 a. m. the follow

Mr.. Payne passed much better
night; slept well for a number of
hours; heart action much improved;
general condition more favorable"
President Roosevelt called at the
hotel shortly before II o'clock and re-
mained a few moments in the private
apartments. When he came out he
said he felt much encouraged regard
ing Mr.. Payne's condition.
Despite the Improvement noted in
Mr.. Payne's condition as disclosed by
the morning publication his condition
at 1:3O p. m. had undergone no fur
ther change for the better. Dr. Rixey
remarked that it was about the same
and in reply to a question said Mr..
Payne's condition still was extremely
grave.
DR.. Magruder left MI. Payne's bed

there had been no setback. He has

WOULD DEFEAT FLANK MOVE
RUSSIAN CAVALRY TRYING TO
CUT JAPANESE LINE OF
! OMMUNlCATIONS.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 3.-Important
developments on the eastern flank OF
the Manchurian army are admitted by
the war office to be proceeding. The
details, however, are withheld for
strategic reasons, the authorities de-
parting from silence only to the ex-
tent of saying that the Russian cavalry
is executing important movements,
leaving it to be surmised that 1t is
trying to cut the Japanese line OF com
municatiCns and thus defeat the flank
advance.
An absolute denial is given to the
Shanghai telegram reporting that a
general engagement at Mukden has
been won by the Japanese. The war
Office even declares that nothing is
known OF serious fighting there. IL Is
dpOinted out that the reports Of TIE
Russian retirement from MuhUGn d. e
idisprOyed by the telegram from Cen
ieral s5akharOff, showing that General
hurOpatkinS OutpOstS are as faI south
as Yental.
a Further reconnaissance continue
and indicate that the Japanese forces
are still crossing the TaitSe river at
Bensihu, indicating that the center OF
gravity remains east OF the railroad.
The Japanese apparently have not yet
succeeded in drafting sufficient men
thither to drive home their flanking
operations.
Bandits Aiding the Japanese.
Considerable significance is attached
to SakharOff'S report that Chinese ban
dts are fighting in the Japanese tanks
in the LlaO river valley. Taken in
conjunction with the attempt Of ban
dts to cut the railroad between Muk-
= den and Harbin this reveals the exist
tence Of a widespread Japanese organ
ization of bandits west OF the railroad.
The news from the front is extreme
ly meager and many confusing state
ments are made. 1t seems question
able whether Field Marshal Oyama is
ready to assume the offensive The
army organ is still expressing sllep-
ticism of an immediate advance. This
paper is inclined to attach great i'm
portance to the stories Of widespread
aneSe troops.
No late news is obtainable Of the
wide Japanese turning movement east,
which is regarded as the chief feature
OF the Japanese operations. Should
Oyama be compelled to abandon the
idea of an advance it is intimated in a
Mukden dispatch that it is possible,
with fresh troops constantly arriving,
that General Kuropatkin may attempt
some offensive operations.
