ARREST II GENERALS.
Panama Police Break Up a RevoIu-
tiOnary Plot.

Panama, Aug. 1.-THE police last
night captured seventeen Colonbians,
former revolutionary generals on the
charge of conspiring against high ma
tional authorities. The prisoners, during
the revolution of 1900 distinguished
themselves by their depredations in thu
interior of the isthmus. A Mexic49
named Ruiz SandovaL also. was taken
into custody. All the men arrested had
recently arrived IN Panama.
Secretary Arias refuses to furnish any
details Of the plot but it is rumored that
some of the members of the Panama
Liberal party are implicated The pris-
oners will be deported as pernicious
foreigners.
All danger seems to be passed. The
conditions here are normal the general
public not being aware that the au-
thorities have captured the plotters. It
is asserted that if the conspiracy had
been successful it might have resulted
in serious consequences to the republic
of Panama.

mangnlty OF fate, though they might
have swung her to port, she would not
bulge a yard to starboard, for now
both wind and waves assailed her most
vehemently on the starboard quarter.
Then when she was little. more than
twice her own length distant he was
certain that a dim form ON the bridge
signaled to the chart house. With a
miraculous deftness, on the assumption
that her wheel was put hard over, she
fell away from the racing seas. Her
red light disappeared, her green light
curved into full view. The next wave
lifted her bodily, with a mad joy that
it should be able to use her to batter
it's enemy, the rock.
Then she struck, with q Sickening
crash that was plainly audible above
the roar of the reef. This was not
enough. Another rush of foaming wa
ter enveloped her and smashed her
again on an inner ledge. There she
lodged, falling inertly over to star
board.
And Brand found his voice once
more, for, as sure as this terrible night
would have its end so surely had the
gallant captain of the steamer refused
to imperil the lighthouse when all hope
of saving his ship had vanished.
The tears were in Brands eyes. His
arms encircled the two girls
