WLEAN MAGTER | OF THE ISTHMUS No Friction Between Co- lombians and Blue- Jjackets. ‘ General Salazar Obeys the Demands of American Commander. PANAMA, Colombia, Sept. 2L.—As far | @s can be learned in Panama, there has | been no friction whatever between so‘_i diers of the Colombian Government and | the American bluejacketis who are guard- { ing the railroad line. The Governmenrt | ordered its soldiers to place obstacles on | the railroad track to aid in stopping the | rains, which measure was taken to pre- | vent the revolutionists boarding trains and surprising the garrison at Panama or | Colon, as they did in 1%L Commander McLean of the United States cruiser Cin- | ati, complained of this meafure to eral Salazar, commander of the Gov- | ernment forces on the isthmus. To this complaint General Salazar replied that he | would attend to the matter and ordered | his soldiers to cease placing such ob- stacles, It seems these orders were misinter- | preted in Colon, where Commander Mc- | Lean saw an obstacle placed on the rail- road track last Thursday. Two soldiers who stopped a train at Monkey Hill, just | toutside of Colon, acted without superior | orders, and are reported to have been se- | verely punished for so Joing by General Feran. It was after this occurrence that | Commander McLean declared the traffic | over the isthmus to have been interrupt- ed, and decided to place American guards | on the trains. On Friday, the 19th, Commander Mc- Lean sent communications to the Colom- | bian Government and to the insurgent | & al, Herrera, in which he said: 0 armed men except naval forces of | the United States will be allowed on or to | use the railroad line.” This declaration that the railroad could rot be used for transportation of armed Government troops has created resent- | ment in conservative circles, where it is | considered as an agtack upon Colombia’s | sovereign rights on the isthmus. General | Salazar declines to express any opinion on the subject. | General Quintero, General Salazar’s | most able lieutenant, has been stationed in Colon. He seems to have established | very cordial relations with Commander | McLean, who invited him to luncheon on board the Cincinnati. General Quintero reciprocated this courtesy on Friday in Colon It is reported that Genergl Salazar, in a communication addressed yesterday to the acting American Consul here, insisted | that Commander McLean should guaran- 1ee to him the rights of the Colombian Government to_transport troops and mu- of war by rail across the isthmus. | Salazar has received no answer communication. this EXODUS FROM COLON.

The Colombian Gov- ernment is still sending reinforcements to the isthmus and the Plata carried 1000 Government troops from Savanilla to Co- e Colombian revolutionists are e massing in the neighborhood of | { oad of the isthmus. The refu-l are the situation at Panama and | | gees d lon to be extremely critical. The officers of the Plata say they were ile at Colon that several Lib- use they violated the order ed by the Government and | Business at Colon is entirely suspended.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Sept. 21.—“ Five schooners bearing about 150 Govern- | ment soldiers, under the command of Gen- | eral Castillo, left Maracaibo, Venezuela, | yesterday morning in tow of the Venezu- | elan gunboat Zumbador. This expedition | will attempt to reoccupy La Vela de Coro, which is in the power of the revolution- ists. News has just reached here from Venezuela that the revolutionary General Mendoza continues to keep with his forces in the interior of the country in the hope of drawing President Castro | from Valericia. { i No News From the Panther, WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—Secretary Moody said to-night that not a word of pews had been received at the Navy Department to-day concerning affairs on the isthmus of Panama. It was expected that the Panther, with a battalion of ma- rines, would have reached Colon by this | time, but Mr. Moody said-he had not heard from the ship to-day. At the Co- | lombian legation a dispatch was received | to-night from Mr. Quintero, the prefect | of Colon, which said his relations with | Cemmander McLean of the Gincinnati| were cordial.

He was stricken with apo- plexy shortly after breakfast, and before medical aid could be summoned he passed The deceased leaves a large fami- ly and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Cuneo came to California in the early fifties and engaged in mining in the northern part of the State. He was a hard worker and soon amassed quite a fortune, He movi to this city in 1870 and went into the real es- | tate business. Fair dealing and strict at- tention to his customers’ business in- creased his fortune and soon he acquired property in every section of the city. Cuneo is perhaps the biggest holder of North Beach property in the city. During late years the capitalist spent much money in chamtable work. Among the poor people of his jeighborhood he leaves many sincere friends. He was generous in his dealings with them, and during his life time he helped many pov- erty stricken families out of their finan- cial difficulty. Cuneo was one of the directors of the Italian Savings and Loan Society, besides @ il el @ GOVERNOR ODELL 0 HEAD TIGKET New York Republicans Are Agreed Upon His Renomination. SARATOGA, N, Y., Sept. 2L—Not in many years has there been, two nights before the assembling of a New York State Republican convention, such placid- as exists to-night. Undoubtedly this is because by far the majority of the se- lections for the State ticket have been practically agreed upon. Governor Odell will be renominated. The contest for Lieutenant Governor ended .to-night, when 1t was announced that the delega- | tions from New Yerk, Westchester and Erie counties had decided to go into the convention pigdged for George R. Shel- | don. There is little or no.platform talk to- night. The planks on trusts, the tariff and canals are the only ones that cause any discussion, the tax question having been generally outlined in the speeches of Governor Odell. There has not yet been anything definitely decided on the trust plank, except that, while condemn- ing certain combinations of capital, there will be no appeal to Congress for drastic legislation. This statement is on the au- thority of Platt, who added that the draft of the plank was not complete. the tariff question the indications are that a definite stand will be taken against revision, on the ground that the benefit to be gained will be small as com- pared with the injury that will be done to American industries and workingmen by an opening of the question of revision. Nearly all the party leaders are here. A great deal of the detail of the conven- tion has been arranged. Lemuel Quigg, who is to be temporary chairman, { will not be here before to-morrow morn- ing, and Edward Lauterbach, who is said to be framing the platform, is not yet here. Governor Odell will be put in nomina- tion by former Senator Lexow of Nyack. Sheldon will be nominated for Lieutenant Governor by Senator Depew, and Assist- ant Secretary of State David J. Hill will nominate Judge Werner for the Ceurt of Appeals. N, N. Stranahan, Collector of the Port of New York, said to-night: “The plank in the platform Indorsing President Roosevelt's administration and his candi- dacy to succeed himself will be as strong as any close adherent of the President can wish for.” Governor Odell sent word here to-night that he positively would not come to Sa- ratoga during the convention. It had been planned that he should come on Wednesday, the last day of the conven- tion, so that he might be the personal re- cipiént of the nomination. He says posi- tively to-night that he believes it would be undignified for the Governor of New York to.attend the convention for any purpose.

LONDON, Sept. 22.—Cabling from Vi- enna, the correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says he learns that reither Austria nor Russia s willing to support the appeal made by the United States in behalf of the Jews of Roumania. It is admitted, says the correspondent, that the treatment of the Russian Jews in- inges the treaty of Berln of 1873, but it is only one of numerous cases in which this treaty has been violated without the signatories protesting. < + WELL - KNOWN CAPITALIST ‘WHO DIED SUDDENLY YES- TERDAY FROM APOPLEXY. & - being an active member of nearly all of the prominent Italian organizations in the city.

Hender- son, Speaker of the national House of Representatives, passed through Chicago to-day on his way to Atlantic City to join Mrs. Henderson. Before leaving for the East Speaker Henderson reitdrated his | decision to retire from the Congressional race in Iowa, denied any intention of “abdicating” his present position until his present term of office shall have expired and declared himself in perfect accord with the tariff views of President Roose- velt as enunciated in his Cincinnati speech. "1 have spent twenty years of my life fighting for protection for American in- dustries and American labor, and I shall not be a party to any juggling at this late day,” said the Speaker. President Roose- velt’s tariff views set forth in his Cin- cinnati speech coincide with my own. Therehls no difference in our belief. His speech was a strong one, and it has m: hea’lsl‘ly indorsement.” o “Then the differences are confined your own State?” was asked. ke “‘Yes, largely.

CZARINA VICTIM OF AN INTRIGUE Nicholas May Attempt to Divorce His Ger- man Wife. Dignitary of the Orthodox Church Is Fomenting Trouble. Special Dispatch to The Call. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2L.—The Czar- ina’s position is growing extremely pre- carious at court, for although divorce is forbidden by the orthodox Greek church there is a strong feeling, shared by peas- ants and aristocrats alike, that some means should be found by the holy synod to set her aside for a wife who is likely to bear the Czar an heir to the throne. Pobledonostzeff, procurator of the holy synod, who through the agency of his popes has already undermined the Czar- ina’s position with the masses because he believes her adoption of the orthodox faith insincere, is suspected of fomenting this agitation for a diverce. The ostensible ground suggested is that the Czarina has never conscientiously conformed to the orthodox religion, and therefore she never has been legally the Czar's wife. The Czarina's misfortunes, instead of winning her sympathy, have intensified the distrust and dislike with which, as a German, she has always been regarded. Her children, who are extremely winning and attractive 'girls, are not only not greeted but are actually scowled and cursed at as. they drive lhrouqh the streets. The effect of this terrible strain on the Czarina’s mind, inelined as it already is to hysteria, may be serious. It is said that but for the comfort and sympathy extended by the Grand Duchess Serge she would already have broken down. The Czar is attached to her still, but his chagrin at his recent disappointment is unconcealed and his anxiety to have an heir is overmastering, so Pobiedonost- zeffs’ Intrigue may prove successful. @ inbideinieimtleufeteoimieleieiminih @ DYING SOLDIER SEES PRESIDENT e Continued From Page 1, Column 6. his carriage at the Washington avenue entrance. efore entering the hote] Pres- ident Roosevelt walked across the street and complimented Captain Standish on the appearance of his men and asked him to thank them on his behalf for turning out in his honor. Going to his rooms on the second floor of the hotel the President received the reception committee of local newspaper men and then was left to prepare for church. ‘At 10:20 o'clock he left the hotel for the Fort-street Presbyterian Church, accom- panied by.General Alger, Secretary Cor- telyou and Mayor Maybury. The party stopped at General Alger's residence on Fort street, where Mrs. Alger joined them. It was but a moment’s drive to the church, which was crowded to its ut- most capacity. The President occupied General Alger's pew with the General and Mrs. Alger and Secretary Cortelyou. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and the pulpit was hung with American flags. The subject of Rey. E. H. Pence's ser- mon was, “A Threefold Gospel,” and his text was taken from First Thessalonians, 1i:2. During the services the President’s favorite hymn, “God Guard Columbia,” was sung. LUNCHEON WITH ALGER. At the conclusion of the church service the President drove to General Alger's | residence, where he was entertained at luncheon. Governor Bliss, Mayor May- bury and General H. M.

This was fol- lowed to its intersection with Jefferson avenue at the approach to Belle Isle bridge.” The intention had been to drive back by way of Jefferson avenue, but here the crowds on the watch fof the President’s coming were so great as to seriously impede the progress of the par- ty and the carriages were turned into more secluded streets. Mayor Maybury and Secretary Cortelyou rode with the President and a secret service man sat on the box with Police Captain Guyman. In the second carriage were Police Commis- sioner Bowle, Gebrze M.

At 4 o'clock he will review the parade of veterans and military, a unique feature of which will be the presence of the Twenty-first Regiment of Essex Fusi- leers from Canada, and at 8 p. m. he will attend the banquet of the veterans in Light Guard Armory, where he will make the address of the evening. TRAGEDY BARELY AVERTED. President’s Carriage Almost Runs Down Two Children. DETROIT, Sept. 21.—Two little girls had a nafrow escape from being trampled upon by the horses attached to the Presi- dent’s carriage to-day. They had darted out suddenly from the curb almost under the horses’ feet. Capiain Guyman was compelled to throw the animals back on their haunches to keep them off the chil- dren. The occupants of the President's carriage were brought to their feet in the trembling anticipation of a tragedy, and it was only by a hair's breadth that the little.ones escaned. Then it was that the route was changed to less congested streets. President Rocsevelt had suggested a change as soon as he saw the crowded condition of Jef- ferson avenue, and the party had pro- ceedéd only about two blocks when the narrow escape of the two little girls proved that hig fears were well grounded.

Atherly, a machinist | in the employ of ome of the big engine | companies at Globe, was aroused from his slumber and told to report at once at the mine, as he was wanted by the superin- tendent. The summons not being an unusual one, he arose hastily, and soon after he left his room two men met him in the dark- ness and with drawn revolvers and pro- | fane threats marched him two or three miles down the gulch. Then they to]d‘ him to step off ten paces. He did so, and then broke into a run, whereupon several shots were fired at him. One of them | plerced his clothing between the left arm and his body, and others whipped up the | dust as he ran. He continued to run tili he reached the home of a rancher, with | whom he returned to town the next day, | He considered the place unheaithy and left Globe on the next train, which was Saturday morning, the news reaching here to-day. Atherly says that he could not recog- nize the veices of the men behind the gung, and their faces were masked, but he belleves they were union men who took this method of running him from the camp because he had but recently refused to join the union. He has no enemies that he knows of except those made through this refusal. He had been employed at the mine for a short time only, having previously had charge of the city electric plant. The citizens are greatly wrought up over the affair, as it is the second re- cent incident of an unlawful nature. Brother Settles the Shortage. COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. 21.—Moses T.

EL PASO, Tex., Sept. 2.—The Yaqui Indians refuse to accept the decree of the military .governor of Sonora, Mexico, which declares their lands confiscated by the state and open to settlement, These lands are extremely valuable for agrteul- tural purposes and comprise a large tract lying along the Yaqui River, in the sub- tropical region. They have been held and occupied by the Yaquis for centuries, even prior to the Spanish conquest, and the unremitting hostility of the Indians to the Government has been due to the fear that t'r;elr lands were about to be taken from them. The Government hopes that by depriv- ing them of the lands they will be forced to vacate the country, and the trouble- some tribe be thereby broken up and scat- tered. The Indians are stil up in arms and will not respect the Government de- cree. Although they have suffered heavy losses in battle during the past few years they still have a well-equipped army of not less than 1000 braves. This army Is divided into many small detachments, that harass the Government troops when- ever they are found and devastate the outlying districts, killing, burning and pillaging. - 3 There are 20,000 Methodist soldiers in the English army in South Afriea.
