POSSIBILITIES THREATENED.
Two Hundred Armed Men Said to Be
Preparing to Attack Pana-
anna Government

Colon, Oct. 22.-News reached here
Friday evening that about 200 armed
men, who are thought to be malcon-
tent Panamans, rather than Colombian
soldiers, have been seen in the neigh
borhood of Culebra, threatening hos
tilities against the Panaman govern
ment. AS soon as the American au-
thorities of the canal zone became cog
infant of this force, marines were sent
out to ascertain their purpose. 1t is
rumored that a Skirmish occurred in
land, in which several were killed, but
there is no confirmation of this re-
port.

as the summer training ground for the
garrison of st, Petersburg. Every sum-
mer some 10000 troops take up their
quarters at Krasnoe Selo, and the miles
of white tents and the continual move
ments Of white-coated soldiers form a
most attractive picture. The spot itself,
TOO, is a pleasant one, for the ground oc-
cupied by the camp includes several
well-wooded hills and two lakes; while
the neighboring villages, inhabited by
a Finnish population, are also pictur-
esque and interesting.
Krasnoe Selo is reached by rail from
st. Petersburg in about three-quarters

the place is attested by the large number
