ANAMA, Nov. 2L.—The end. of i the revolutionary war on.the ‘isthmus appears to have been reached through the signing of ia treaty of peace. Reat/ Ad- miral Casey of the United States navy came ashore this afternoon from his flagship, th® Wisconsin, and an- nounced that peace arrangements had | been concluded at noon. He added that the terms were favorable and honorable to both sides, but he gave no further de- tails. Rear Admiral Casey was accom- panied by Consul General Gudger. Both of them paid an official call on General Perdomo, who is the highest Colombian official on the isthmus and has special | powers which are Presidential in scope. The peace conference was resumed early this morning on the Wisconsin, when Governor Salazar of the Department of Panama and General Vasquez again boarded the ship. Genéral Herrera, the revolutionary leader, and his party, who are guests of Rear Admiral Casey, had considered the proposal over night. The conference was continued only a couple | of hcurs before an agreement took place. | The necessary papers were then drawn | up and signed. Rear Admiral Casey, through whose ef- forts the peace negotiations were planned, | was desirous of expediting them to a suc- | cessful issue so that the Wisconsin could | sail for home as soon as possible. It is now probable that she will leave the har- bor to-morrow. GRANTS LIBERAL TERMS. Treaty of Peace on Lines of Presi- dent Marroquin’s Offer, WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L—Although they have not received any official con- firmation of the report, officials of the Colombian legation exprcss great satis- faction over the news that a treaty of peace has been signed with General Her- rera. They feel that this will terminate a war which has ravaged Colombia for several years. The Government of Co- lombia realized the menace to-its inter- ests which the presence of General Her- | rera and his army would be for the ne- | gotiations of a Panama ¢anal, and put torth every effort to bring about -his capitulation. For this purpose a. large number of troops have been massed in the vicinity of Panama and Colon ready for an active campaign against the revo- lutionary general should such action' | | | { i finally be determined on. It is believed here that the- terms of | as extremely liberal in character. — the treaty negotiated follow im. mapy re- spects the offers made to the 'rebels some time ago by President*Marroquin. These were regarded by the Government An sentlal feature of them was the granting of amnesty to the revolutionists and their restoration to certain rights which they forfeited when they took up arms against the Government.

Paris Friends of Mrs. Gore Pay Tributes to Her. PARIS, Nov. 21.—The most circumstan- tial account concerning Mrs. Gore was a leading piano establishment in the Avenue de 'Opera. He says she was fn- troduced to him by letters from musical friends in New York. e appeared (o him most charming and vivacious and de- voted to music. She received all her mail at a private address. She traveled in the early summer over Europe and took les- sons in Vienna from a leading master. Returning last August, she asked to be recommended .to a master of the highest rank. Moszkowski was chosen. She stud- fed with great ardor and took part in a number of musicales. Last Tuesday she accepted an invitation to the opera from M. Toledo for last night and he was hor- rified on going for her to find her dead. . The family of Dr. Buttner, an American dentist in the Rue d€ la Paix, furnished details of the antecedents of Mrs. Gore. Trhey had been intimate with the family in Mexico, but did- not know her here. Sin- where she met and was married to Mr. Gore of British Columbia. They remov- ed to Mexico City and became ‘wealthy through land speculations. They built “Gore Court,” a large apartment house, and moved in good society. Domestic difficulties led to a separation, but not to asorce, and she began traveling to per- feet her musical education.

Gore Had Been Married Twice. PARIS, Nov. 21.—Charles Gerschel, a photographer of Boulevard des Capu- cines, and personal friend of Mrs. Gore, who was found dead yesterday, by either suicide or murder, gave The Call corre- spondent the following details: Gerschel says he resided in San Francisco some years ago and there met the:father of the deceased. i “Picture to yourself,” he said, ‘“‘a, tall, shapely woman. always stylishly dressed, of graceful deportment and refined man- ners. Mrs. Gore was born in San Fran- cisco in 1873, and passed ten years of her life in different parts of California. Busi- ness then called her parents to Mexico. “While in Mexico Mrs. Gore marrled Senor Sanchez, owner of extensive sugar and tobacco plantations. Her married life seems-to have been an unhappy one, for a divorce resulted, and Senora San- chez resumed her majden name and:re- turned to California, faking up her ‘abode in Los Angeles with an aunt, her moth- er's sister. “Gifted with a beautiful voice, Mrs., Gore was persuaded by her aunt to go to Columbus, Ohio, and study singing. She, however, selected Chicago, having friends there. Her masters soon realized that their pupil possessed more than or- dinary *ability, and, with an honesty which ‘does them credit, advised her to ctudy in, Paris. ‘‘Mrs. Gore arrived in Paris at the be- ginning of last August and shortly after- ward took up her residence at the Pen- sion de Familie of Mme. de La Ponterie. She purposed remaining in Paris for two years.” Gerschel attached np importance to cer- tain insinuations made in several Paris newspapers. He corroborates the state- ment made by her fellow boarders at the Avenue de la Grande Armee as to her exemplary habits and blameless conduci. The Paris photographer is probably mistaken about the alleged marriage to Senor Sanchez. He prohably confounds Mrs. Gore's case with that of the fireg marriage of her husband. o WELL LIKED IN MEXICQ.

For some time past Mr. and Mrs. Gore have lived apart and she, being of an art- istic temperament and fond of music, went. to, Vienna, where she studied under good masters. She returned to this city to' arrange for her future support, her husband being ' the owner of a large amount of.real estate here and proprietor of the Gore Coury apartment house in the fashionable quarter.

Butler, her attorney here, says that the idea of suicide is fo .be dis- carded at orice. Mrs. Gore was wrapped up in her music and her business interests here were in excellent shape. He had only yesterday recelved a business letter from her. In this letter she wrote: “I am taking lessons with Moszkowski, the ‘great composer ‘and pianist. I am working hard and getting along well.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Nov. 2lL.—There is a fight on for the water supply of Coyote Creek between the Spring Valley Water Com- pany and the Bay Cities Water Company, a recently organized corporation. The scene of this contest is at Coyote station, ten miles south of this city, and the forces of the two companies are working night and day to obtaln an advantage. Nearly all of the water rights of the Mount Hamilton range, extending from the Calaveras Valley to Gilroy, hdve been obtained by the Spring Valley Company. These rights include the entire watershed and the right to the water in the creek. The Bay Citles Company is trying to head off the Spring Valley gorporation. It recently obtained possession of some |1and at Coyote and rights from E. G Wheeler. This place has long been recog- nized as a subterranean reservoir, fed by Coyote Creek, and large supplies of water are obtained from wells at a depth of but a few feet. A corps of engineers in | charge of W. K. McMurdo is now at work at the place. So eager were the Bay Cities officials to get at work that they did not walit to build houses for their employes, but pitched tents and Started the men in at once. This com- pany ptoposes to tap the subterranean waterway, and with. the aid of immense pumps draw off the water, while its com- petitor has spent vast sums to secure the watershed that feeds this underground lake. The Bay Cities Company Is establishing its plant at a point on the creek’s bank a mile north of Coyote station. A big pumping plant has been installed and c1ews of men are constantly at work bor- mg wells. A number of the wells have been sunk to a depth of fifty feet. Large Lodies of water have been encountered, but the company proposes to ge still deeper and -tap the reservoir. Ditches are being rurr in all directions and pipe lines started. Surveyors are at work, and it is sald measurements are about completed for immense reservoirs. Lines will be ex- tended to this city and over the peninsula to San Francisco. The Spring Valley is by no means idle. | 1ts scheme Js to divert the water of the Coyote into the big reservoir into which it is converting Calaveras Valley. The un- | dertaking requires more work than that of its rival, which appears to have the better of the fight for water. As soon as, the Bay Cities Company taps the reserveir and begins using the water the contest probatly will be carried into the courts b the Spring Valley Com- 2ny.
