The sol- diers,who were halted there, atonce surrounded his wagon and began to take his stuff, and cleaned him out completely.

Before the soldiers made the raid on_ his wagon the witness said that one of tne soldiers asked him what the price of his oranges were, and he told him thirty cents a dozen or two for five cents. The soldier was a very gentlemanly man, and told the witness that he was the first reasonable man he had met in this city in the matter of charging for things to eat. The other soldiers then raided his wagon. The witness said he had two men to testify in regard to this attack on his wagon, TWO MEN WHO SAW THE RAID, Tho first of these witnesses was H. M. Porter, of 1228 414 street southwest, who testified that on the Sth of March he came along with his truck wagon and saw six men with his wagon further up the street, and then he saw thecrowd collected about it, and he said, “Owen must be doing a good business this morning.” Then he saw that they were raiding the wagon.

The pri- vate, Miller, he heard, came from a town back of Pittsburg. He did not remember the name of the Heutepant. After the man was shot the leutenant and the other private ran out of the place, and he ran after them and brought them ack, with assistance, and said that they had. him (witness) in trouble, and they must see him out. When they returned to the saloon he shut and locked the doors and sent for the po- lice, The lieutenant and the private were taken to the seventh precinct station, Lieut. Kelly, and the wounded man tothe hospital. The witness said the whole trouble brought him thirty cents—six beers at five cents each, He did 1iot know who shot the man. “Did not the trouble arise in this way,” asked the recorder: “That fourmen came In, called for beer, and offered a dollar bill, and you put it in your drawer and refused to give change?” “No, sir,”"said the witness, with some indig- nation; “I don’t do that sort of business, It was just the. opposite.” ‘The witness said that the ‘wounded private sent for bim to see him at the depot when he started for home.

Before Rear Admiral Jouett, the commander of the North Atlantic station, left Washington to join his flagship at New Orleans he spoke very freely of the impending troubles in Cen- tral America as well as in Panama and the ne- cessity for some action on the part of this gov- ernment to protect its interests and assert its rights. The revolutions in Panama, which oc- cur with unprecedented frequency, he consid- ered as being closely connected with the war- like movements of President Barrios, and at- tributed both to the inspiration and instigation ofthe French, “We'll have to take a hand in this matter sooner or later,” sald the admiral in conversation with a STAR reporter, “and in my opinjon the sooner the better. It is for this rea- son that Lam so desirous of sending to the seat of troubles all the vessels that we can muster, and have suggested that the Tallapoosa, Des- patch and Dolphin all be sentto join my equad- Tron, I want to show them that we have some vessels, and do not intend to be walked over rough shod, The French are going to doevery thing in their power to pre- Yent the construction of any canal but the Panama canal, and in my opinion Barrios’ movements are not made of his own accord, but you will find the French are at the bottom of it. They willstay atthe bottom until the {ims to come to the top and then they'll come, andwe had better look out. Now look at that Panama canal; the French have spent millions and intend to spend millions more, and the: do not intend that it shall be wasted. To thi end they haye secured the ownership of nearly the whole of the Panama railroad, and on that little strip of land, less than fifty miles wide, they have massdd ’ fifteen thousand workmen. They are workmen now, butwhen the time fomes, they will, prove tobe aa many trained French soldiers. They start these resolutions on the isthmus and it takes but a fraction of them to get a first- class revolution well under way. can run the whole place, and they will not only run it, but other places, too, if they want to. That's only my opinion, however, and I give it for what it’s worth, 'I tell you these French are everywhere, and they know what they are about. The Germans are the same way; in fact every nation is on the alert except ours, Why, during the Franco-Prussian war every one of our naval vessels had a German officer on board in the disguise of a common sailor. Every now and then a seaman would be met with who displayed extraordinary intelligence at times, and he would be found to bea German or Swede, He performed his duties as a seaman, but he had. others that he performed for his home govern- ment, He knew every thing that this gover: ment was doing, and he took care to give that information where it was most wanted. Do you suppose that there are no French army officers on the Isthmus of Panama among those work- men, and do you suppose that every move we make, or rather that we don't make, is not known in France immediately? If you do you vre mistaken, and it won't be a great while Vefore you will find out your mistake.” —— ‘fhe Robbery of Gen. Colston’s Resi dence. MARY DENT DISCHARGED AND MARIA HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY.
