WILL PUT DOWN ANY DISORDER.
Usele Sans Warning to the Psusmsisns-
Not ConfIned to Zone.

Washington, D. c, (Special) In
quiry as to the meaning and scope Of
the letter delivered by Governor Magoon
to the Panamaian government relative
to the use Of American troops on the
isthmus in case of trouble develops the
following state of facts:
Some months ago representative
of the so-called Liberal party in Pana-
ma addressed an inquiry to Governor
Magoon as to the attitude of the Ameri-
can government in case a rebellion
should be inauguraied on the isthmus.
The inquiry was referred to Secretary
Root, and answer was made that in
such case the American government
would be bound by its treaty rights and
obligations that il would permit no
disturbance within the Canal Zone nor
in the city of Panama or Colon.
THE government OF Panama was i'm
PEELED to ask what limitations would be
placed upon the activity of our troops
in case of revolution, and it is to this
inquiry that Governor Magoon has just
replied. Secretary Root informed the
Governor that in his judgment the
ground was covered by his first letter
as to the general proposition, and that
the second question submitted was rath-
er a military one, wherefore he had
referred il to Secretary Taft.
Secretary Taft in his letter in sub-
stance told the Panama government that
the American military would take any
step II deemed necessary, even outside
the zone to prevent ODerations that
might threaten the peace of the zone
and the cities of Colon and Panama. In
this view the organization OF a rebel
army near the zone which might have
for its ultimate purpose an attack upon
the cities named would be promptly dis
sipated by the American troops"

EDITOR MARBLE HILL PRESS:

EDITOR MARBLE HILL FRESS: ID
Being an old correspondent to THE
PRESS. feel like giving you few items
for publication, from this part of the
country.
We live in Ft. Towson, |. T., on the
Frisco railroad, i've miles north Of Red
river and seven miles east of Kiamitia
river, in beautiful country.
At present we are having rain, rain,
rain, and our farmers are very much be-
hind with their crops. Corn and cotton
are the principle crops here. No wheat
has yet been grown in this section but
the soil Is very rich and | think it would
produce wheat If sown. We have an
abundance Of fine forest trees here, such
as oak, pine, bois dare; also, the holly
tree which gives the appearance of sum-
mer thru the winter months.
7 Our town has suffered from three fires
since Christmas night, the most destruc.
tive occurring March 2l, about 2 O'Clock
p. m. This fire ragged for almost an
hour, destroying twenty-one houses, in
cluding some nice one and two-story
brick buildings, one Of which was the
First National Bank Of TT. Towson. The
loss is estimated at $4,000 with very
little insurance. 1t is said to have been
the work Of an incendiary. However,
work at rebuilding is being rushed and
several new brick buildings are going up
and our town will soon be better than
before the IRE.
The ruins Of Old Ft. Towson, from
which our town gets it's name, is located
about one mile from here in the country
and is q great resort for pleasure seekers.
might give q description ofits crumbled
and ruined walls, but for fear Of the waste
basket.
We have nice churches and good
school here. Our school building was
completed and school begun last Janu-
ary, still We do not enjoy free schoo
system like that Of Grand Old Missouri"
The Indians have free schools nine
months in the year. Their school for
this section Of the country is located in
the town of Doaksville. White teachers
are employed in the Indian school. We
have only one Indian family living in
this town but lots Of them come here TO
buy their supplies, and can load as much
on small pony as some farmers in Boil
linger county would take home in his
buggy or wagon. Indians aregreatlovers
Of dogs and It Is nothing uncommon to
zee half dozen dogs follow one Choctaw
