Panama, April e.-The excitement con-
tinues over the occupation by the Co
lombian forces of the village Of Niurado,
claimed as in Panama territory, about
twenty-five miles from the Colombian
boundary.
The alcalde of the town and the other
authorities were obliged to abandon the
place, owing to the menacing attitude of
the invaders Representatives of com
mercial houses at Niurado report afro
cious actions on the part of the Colombian
troops.
The troops ailege they are acting under
definite instructions from President Reyes
Reyes claims he is acting wlth the knowl-
edge OF Mr.. Root, American Secretary of
State, who was informed of Colombia S
intention to occupy the territory.
Mr.. Roots apparent attitude toward Co
lombia is considered strange here, and is
unfavorably commented upon. The first
article Of the Panama treaty guarantees

lection Of her territory by the United
States
The Minister OF Panama at Washington
has been cabled TO suspend all treaty

feared. will provoke retaliatory action.

Hearst News Special to the Graphic
Washington, March 1O.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is insane, according
to Millionaire Joe Letter, who was
here today en- route to Paul Rain
ey's shooting box in Mississippi to
fish and hunt. Letter reiterates
the statement he admits making
several weeks ago. In a long In
terview Letter talked on finance
and politics, taking the stand that
Johnson would defeat Taft in the
event they opposed each other i'll
the presidential race and that the
Bryan and Roosevelt booms were
waning. He thinks the banks have
AN abundace pf money and that
dollars are plentiful for legitimate
purposes, but that there is less wild
cat money in circulation than on
any previous occasion in the history

Negligence Of the railroad company S
employees is also alleged.
In its answer the railroad company
denies the charges in the petition
of J. M. Anderson, one Of the plain
tiffs who filed suit among the fifty
six, and which case will probably
be made a test case for all of them
at the coming March term of the JEFF
ferson Circuit Court.
The company states that although
Anderson sues for $1,000, his home
was insured for only $500 at the time
of the fire. 1t further adds that the
residence was not worth $1,000; that
it was not set on fire by sparks from
the company's switch engine; that
their engines are we'll constructed, in
good condition and that the spark ar
rosters on them are always kept in
good condition. The railroad COM
pany asks that it be dismissed in the
litigation as the defendant.
