Villa the rebel leader. hero OF Juarez
and captor Of Chihuahua. who has been
charged with many heinous things. in
Guiding maltreatment Of Spanish sub
i-cts. whom he drove out Of the country
and whose property he confscated has
come forward with the unique eNplana-
ton that his expulsion OF the Spaniards
really saved their lives. as they were In
danger Of being massacred hy the people
Of Chihuahua.
This is tho FIRST that has been heard
here OF anything Of the sort and officials
are deeply interested. The State De
pnrtment also learned that villa was
quoted as saying that those persons who
could prove themselves guiltless Of par
ticipa ton I'm the Federal cause would be
permitted TO return 10 Chihuahua and
would be Unidentified for their losses
While IL is said at the State Depart
ment that no reply has been received
from villa to the representations and
warning from tho United States con-
corning the destruction Of foreign prop
erty and mistreatmcnt Of foreigners. it
is believed that villas explanation re
suits from those representations
gilla has also denied that orders have
been issued for the detention in chi

Reports received at the Department

RAMIREZ QUITS PANAMA
Colombian Secret Agent Fears
for His Safety.

Panama, Dec. 20.-As a result Of the
anti-ColombIan demonstration which
broke out here last Thursday night, when
several houses occupied by Colombans
were stoned. Sanchez Ramirez, the conf
dental agent In this city Of the Colon
bian government. sailed for home to-day
for reasons OF safety.
Senior RamireZ's departure was in no
way urged ty the Panaman government,
which, on the contrary. offered him an
armed guard until the temper of the peo-
pie had become calmer. The Colombian
agent decided. however, that his useful
ness here was over. lie made the trip
across the isthmus TO Colon in company
with Ernesto Lefevre. the Minister OF
Foreign Relations. and during his stay at
Colon his person was guarded by several
policemen.
The outburst against the ColOmbians
grew out of an article published in a
newspaper at Barranquilla, Colombia,
containing among other statements one
10 the effect that the people of Panama
desired TO return to the Colombian fold
4 local partisan took the question up and
replied with bitter article. which in turn
brought forth statement from Colon
bias confidential agent. and II was
against him that popular indignation was
directed.
II is thought probable that the Colom-
bian government will resent the incident
which IL declared unfortunate at this
time i'm view OF the negotiations looking
to a new tripartite treaty.

Suit Is Filed.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Kansas CITY. Mo. Dec. 20.-When Judge

District Court. following the mandate OF
the United States Supreme Court. dis
missed to-day the cases filed by thirteen
railroads enjoining the state from enforc-
ing the two-cent passenger rate and
maximum freight rate laws, II was sup
posed that Missouri had won a final VIC
tory. as the Supreme Court had sustained
the validity Of both laws and ordered the
cases dismissed.
Judge Mcpherson also refused to retain
Jurisdiction i'm the federal court, as asked
by the roads. and shippers and travellers
were placed i'm n position to sue for the
recovery Of perhaps 100000 excess rates
collected by the roads while the injunc-
ton was in force. No sooner, however.
had Attorney General Barker filed suit at
jefferson City against the Missouri Pa
cifc to recover 100000 of this excess
than Judge Mcpherson made a new order
suspendng until January 10 the DEGREES
ne had ordered at the morning session OF
the court.
Tho order left the Missouri rate cases
tonight in a more complex legal tanglc
than ever. The railroad lawyers say the
bringing Of any and all suits against the
railroads is stopped until additional court

hundred members OF all parties OF both

ranging for proper exhibit on behalf of
Great Britain at San Francisco. and are
making provision for transporting there

AS the expense seems 10 be the chief
objection to official participation by the
