Tourists Back From Panama and Costa Rica Say
Events There Are Like o. Henry Story; Ma
tives Start to Mob Yankees, Then Go to Sleep

The embodiment between Panama
snd Costa Rica, which was squclchcd
yesterday, at least in it's opening
stages, seems to be akin to the rules
laid down by the late O. Henry, ac-
cording to the combined opinion o.
passengers on the United Fruit liner
Ulua, arriving yesterday in New York
from the scene of hostilities.
The ulua, from Crstobal and Pan
anna City, Panama. and Port Limon and
Sen Jose, Costa Rica, carried 104 tour
lists, who said they would not trade
their experiences within the mobiliza-
tion areas for whole lifetime of the
ordinary vacation events that get into
The photograph albums at home.
The passengers were in Panama City
the night of February 25 and witnessed
the mobilization Of the first contingent
of the Panaman army They arrived
in Limon> before the first Costa Rican
troopship had sailed and witnessed the
mobilization and training of the first
Costa Rican recruits February 27.
Whether they were in or out of ia
vor the tourists found it rather en-
tarrassing to be Americans at such q
trying time Rumor concerning Amcri
can intentions seemed to be feet anu
variable and ii was never known ju5t
what sort Of reception WAS in store.
Feeling against Americans was strons
during the first, half day the tourists
,.-n,o IN COct, I,;ro This NoS Nu, 3,
a report coming from Panama that the
United States was going to take up
arms against Costa Rica in behalf o.
Panama
Yankee Windows Smashed
This. propaganda cost the United
Fruit Company most of the windows in
its commissary building in Port Limon.
Angry Costa Ricans let them selves
be diverted from the main business of
bleeding Panama white and, gathering
stones and other missiles, smashed in
every Yankee window that was within
throwing distance. The demonstration
amounted to a street riot, and proba bly,
would have been rcncwcd in the cooler
portion Of the day, only for the fact
that about sicsta time a report arrived
that the news from Panama was false.
BY the time the tourists had arrived
in San Jose, the capital city of Costa
Rica, on the railroad between the sea-
coast and the interior, Dame Rumor
was footing it around with the infor-
nation that the visitors were delega-
tion from the United States, come to
settle the Nar. The capital turned out
and gave the visitors a demonstration
of welcomc which more than made
amends for the dubious feeling engen-

Lieut.. Robb, Of Battleship
Tennessee, Accused of
Shortage Escapes From
Bay Ridge Reservation
Guard U n d er Arrest
Leaves the Administration
Building Unmolcsted as
Sentries or Duty Salute

Lieutenant Lon H. Robb, of the
battleshp Tennessee, who had been
confined in the brig at the Bay Ridge
naval reservation since February 25,
strollcd away from the reservation
Saturday, it became known yesterday,
and has not returned. =: Officers of tthe
Naval Intelligence Service are hunting
for him.
Lieutenant Robb was service officer
Of the Tennessee. 1t was alleged that
in his accounts and q court-martial was
ordered He offered no defense, his
counsel asserting that the prosecution
had failed to establish case and that
if there was a shortage Robb was ready
70 make it good.
The cosc came TO an end February %.
The findings Of tic court we're sent TO
Washington for review. The accused
officer, who had been prisoner aboard
the Tennessee during the court rtmartial,
was sent to the Bay Ridge station to be
confined in the brig.
Saluted by the Sentrics
He was taken under guard to the ad-
ministration Office Saturday about
noon to have certain papers made out in
connection with his commitment While
tenant Robb told his guard that he be-
leved he'd step outside moment. The
guard acquiesced in the sugge stion and.
did not follow him Immediately.
When>he did the corridor was empty
SO was the administration building, so
far as Lieutenant Robb was concerned,
and so, further search showed. was the
entire reservation. Lieutenant Robb
had sauntercd out of the building and
out of the reservation, with every SEN
try he met saluting him punctiiously.
Officers may leave the reservation
without passes, and the sentries at the
escape of Lieutenant Robb, but the man
assigned as his guard has been placed
under arrest.
Carried Coil of Rope
According to William Johnson, jani
martial was held, Lieutenant Robb came
to the trial one day carrying q parcel
which he left in the washroom. John
son said that he was suspicious be-
cause the preceding day on entering
The washroom suddenly he had found
Lieutenant Robb leaning half way out
of the window, the sill of which is only
few feet above the ground
johnson entered the washroom and
examined the package which he said
Lieutenant Robb had left there. 1t
contained coil Of rope to one end of
which Il hook was fastened, he said.
The discovery did not cnlighten the
ianitor as to Robb's purpose in leaving
it there, because even a cripple could
get out of the window without rope.
He confiscated the rope, nevertheless.

The Costa Rican soldiers were

They wore gray-blue uniforms and
many cf them carried knives, three

and their trousers were tattered,

BY she is to appear in New York early
next spring under the management OF
Ned Wayburn.
Mile. Mistinguett has been in New
York for the past three weeks, living
quietly at an uptown hotel. but 1t
was only just before she stepped
aboard the steamer that Wayburn in
duced her to sign a contract with him.
He was particularly anxious to have
her under his management. as he has
seen her in Paris and is desirous OF
producing a French revue in New
York.
Although she has never played in
America, this is the second visit OF
Mistinguett to New York. She was
here for a short period two years
ago. She is returning to Paris to
prepare for her appearance at the
Casino de Paris in a new revue. as
