ratify the Hay-Herran treaty, on which
ne labored so faithfully He immedi-
ately warned his government of the
dangerous step it had taken and pre-
diCted the revolution which resulted in
The insults and snubs which Colombia

Of Wide Popularity.
Dr. Herran was one of he most popu-
lar members of the Diplomatic Corps.
He was a great favorite with Secretary
Hay, who always received him at all
hours IN his home, and spoke in the
highest terms of the Colombian charge
at the time the South American gov

fully By absolutely ignoring him and his
efforts at bringing about the cOnstruc-
ton Of the Panama Canal

OF Colombia, had named Or. HeTTan
minister TO this country. but the State

A light screen OF batteries facing the
enemy's guns, beautifully disposed on
a chain OF hills. masked the withdrawal
Of the main force. When night fell the
batteries also took up the retreat. their

soon discovered this ruse, and pressed
forward. coming up with the Russian
rear guard Sunday morning.
For an hour the light batteries were
