The correspondence opens with long
letter TO the president from Loomis, in
which he asserts that newspaper articles

true that Loomis had the sympathy Of
Secretary Hay. Loomis adds that the
secretary had expressed regret on more

Colon, Oct. 1.-The $50 laborers from
Martinique, who were brought here Fri
day on the French steamer Versailles
under contract to work on the canal re-
fused to disembark or submit TO vacci-
nation, which is imperative under the
American sanitary regulations. They
clamored to be taken back to Martin
ique asserting that they had been misin-
formed as to conditions before they en-
barked.
Yesterday morning however, 500 of
them were with difficulty persuaded to
land. One hundred and fifty more re-
mained on board and declined to leave
the ship under any consideration. These
were forcibly elected from the vessel
this afternoon by the Panam and Canal
Zone policemen, but not until nearly
every one of the had been dubbed and
several were bleding from nasty wounds.
Early this mornig the French consul
at Colon, NJ. Bonhenry appealed to the
men to listen to reason and explaining
to them that they left Martinique under
a contract with the canal zone emigra-
tion agent. The men, however, were
not answerable to reasoning. The cap
tain of the Versailles told the men he
was ready TO take back 10 Martinique,
all those who were able to pay their
passage, but the men argued that the
French government would be wiling to
reimburse the steamship company and
that they themselves were penniless.
Before noon at the instance OF NJ. Ra-
we're, the agent of the company, the
French consul went on board the ves-
sci and told the men that force would
be used if they persisted In their re-
fusal 10 disembark. On seeing the po-
lice armed with bayonets and guns, the
men again barred Their breasts and said
they preferred death rather than be
taken ashore. At 2 o'clock the laborers
were informed that they were given two
hours to reconsider and at o'clock three
of them consented to disembark, the
Others still holding out. Then the Pan
anna police, armed with clubs approached
the hborers, and on their refusal to
quit the ship, began to belabor them
right and left Seeing that all resist
ance was useless, the men came ashore.
