ARMY OFFICERS
EAGER FOR TRIP
Impatiently Awaiting News
From Capital Regarding
Sending Troops to Panama

The prospect Of the United States
sending a military force to Panama as
a menace to President Castro of Vene-
Zueia. who has shown a disposition to
ignore the well meaning overtures of
this Government, has aroused a keen
interest among the officers and men at
the Presidio, few Of whom would care
TO miss an opportunity of visiting the
tropics. While the speculations at the
Preside are based entirely on an un-
confirmed report that the authorities
at Washington are planning to send
troops TO Panama. which is the most
convenient base for military opera
tions, there are many who regard the
story with much faith and are trying
20 guess what regiment or regiments
viii be chosen for the expedition
The Nineteenth Infantry is now uu-
der orders at Vancouver to sail for the
Philippines on the transport Buford,
which is preparing to go north TO en-
bark the regiment. 1t is possible, think
the officers at the Preside, that this
regiments destination may be sudden
" changed. 1t would require little ad-
ditiOn TO the regiments outfit for the
Philippines TO get it in readiness for
q trip to the south. The stronger opin-
ion is. however, that the Government
viii select some other regiment in the
middle West or the East, so that the
scheduled plans for relieving troops
in the Philippines shall not be inter
fered with. In that case it is expect
ed that the organization next in turn
for foreign service will be chosen for
Panama.
Of the regiments available for serv-
ice in the south one Of the following
are most likely to be selected: Ninth
Infantry at Madison Barracks, New
York; Sixteenth Infantry at Fort Nc
Pherson Atlanta, Ca; Seventh Regi-
nent Of Cavalry at Mort Meyer, Wash
ineton, ID. c.. and Fort Oglethorpe, Ga,
and the Eighth Cavalry al Fort Sill,
Okla, and Fort Riley, Kans.
Although the report is generally dis
credited in Washington, a dispatch
from that city last night said that the
War Department officials would not
make any statement regarding the re-
port that troops are going to Panama.
but il was pointed out that if a DEM
onstration against Castro is contem-
plated, ii is very likely that the troops
selected for such an expedition would
be sent from Atlantic ports in order to
expedite their movements toward the
south.

armies defending the honor and pres

crushing reverse. There were no
crowds last night, no demonstration
no change in the ordinary street life.
Newsboys were hawking extras on the
streets-mere dodgers with three lines
or General Kuropatkin's dispatch, sur
rounded by wide margins of blank pa
per-but there was nothing to indicate
that the extras were more important
than those in which, for a year, Gen.
eral Kuropatkin's dispatches have been
issued. The Government made no at
tempt to palliate the shock or explain
the significance of the retreat, but sim

In private houses, however, the situa-
tion was discussed and rediscussed,
conjecture added to the fact and the
invariable query was, what further?'
One circle of Liberals, on receiving
the news called for wine and solemnly
pledged New Russia" But generally
the defeat cuts deeply and is keenly
felt, especially by families represented
in the endangered army. The spirit of
unpatriotic exultation will do the Lib
erals no good at this time. AS the de-
feat, which one Russian correspondent
describes as slaughter, not battle
entails the sacrifice of so many thou
sands Of Russian lives, the people fear
to count UP their losses. 1t Is realized
that in the fighting before Mukden was
evacuated the death roll of the battle
of Shakhe must have been far exceed
ed, and the streets of st. Petersburg
where every third woman wears crepe,
will present a somber sight when the
casualty lists arrive.

Mrs. Farrell resented the girls act

scoring a knockout. Trouble between
mother and sweetheart several days

part and strike his mother. Once the

Uncle Sam wanted him for desertion.

PEACE TALK is STRONG.
Ministers Of the Gar Urge That War
Be Ended.

While Emperor Nicholas, whose
word is final, still declines to abandon
the prosecution of the war, and the
government maintains it's ability to
conflict, the Associated Press is in a
position to state that powerful influ-
ences, including several of the emper-
or's own ministers, are now strongly
urging that the time has come to in
dictate to Japan Russia's desire for
peace upon reasonable basis. Should
Japan then attempt to impose too enor-
nous conditions, these influences
argue that, in view of the universal
wish to see the bloody conflict ended,
Russia's position will be strengthened
abroad by the alienation of sympathy
from Japan and the situation at home
improved when the nation is made to
understand that the emperor's pacific
proposals have been met with impos-
sble terms.

UPBUILD THE NAVY.
Only Way in Which to Insure Peace,
Says Admiral Coehlan.

Rear Admiral Coghlan spoke at the
recent banquet given by the Empire
State society of the Sons of the Amer.
lean Revolution. He did not begin his
remarks until after President Roose.
welt had left the room to begin his
return journey to Washington. He
followed the lines of the chief exec
utives appeal for an upbuilding of the
navy, a high standing of it's personnel
and his appeal that all should study
the lessons of the revolutionary war,
the war of 1912 and the Mexican war,
and carry out the policies that won
victory then, at the same time avoiding
the defects which brought defeat.
THE president took all the wind out
of my sails" said the admiral. How
ever, let me begin with the old adage,
In time of peace, prepare for war.
The president spoke of having some
40 ships. AS matter OF fact, we will
have only q ships by next spring,
when the new ones are completed,
and only 16 are first class battleships,
to defend the country. We shall have
some II armored cruisers, but these
can not be called battleships.
I'm 1908 we will need some 5000
enlisted men in the navy, and we will
have to try to get the best men. We
must be prepared. Our losses in the
Spanish war, though few, were the re-
suit of unpreparedness. We have had
good results, indeed, but we cant be
sure that those results will always
follow. We must build up our navy
and rapidly. Our personnel
is improving very rapidly, and at pres
ent is equal if not superior to any ma

sertions from the navy. Let me say

CITY of Mukden.

Mukden, into which the victorious
Japanese hosts have marched, is
known as Chinas Sacred City" the
cradle of the Manchu race, which has
given the present dynasty to the
throne of China. 1t is the capital Of
Liaotung, one of the three provinces
of Manchuria, and is situated on the
River Hun, about 500 miles northeast
of Picking. Without its walls lie, bur
led in magnificent tOmbs, the first en-
perors of the imperial line, and with
in, at the heart of the city, is a small
palace in which is said to be concealed
enormous wealth, accumulated by sue
cessive emperors during a period of
200 years.
Mukden is a busy, thriving city of
100000 inhabitants. 1t is believed to
have existed on it's present site 5000
years, but it never attained importance
until the Manchu kings made it their
capital in 1880. Two hundred or more
years ago it was known by the name
of Sinyang, the name of Mukden being
conferred by its Manchu conquerors.
