The Japanese colony to the number of | 4000 met yesterday at the tea gardem, H street and Seventh avenue, and began the day's festivities in honor of the fifty-first birthday of their imperial master, the Mikado, Mutsuhito. The recreation ground was alive with color, was gay with flag and streamer, | and a babbling of the voices of the loyal | and genial subjects of his imperial Ma- | jesty filled the air. ; American’ and Japanese flags flapped | side by side and numerous United States citizens assisted in the ceremonies. The Japanese Consul General, Kisaburo | Uyeno, with his suite, was of the dis- tinguished party representing the court of | Japan and received for the Emperor the | congratulations of his subjects resident in San Francisco. SING IMPERIAL ANTHEMS. i The day’s entertainment, like that of the evening at Mechanics’ Pavillon, gave any amount of amusement. Both pro- grammes were diversified and novel and perhaps the celebration in the evening was more imposing for the reason that | the thousands seated gave some idea of | the numerical strength of the colony and | by their appearance testified to their ma- terial welfare. All the men and the women carried a huge chrysanthemum, the imperial flower of Japan, so styled because of the ad- miration bestowed on it by the first reigning Emperor. As K. Abiko, the chairman of the even- ing's festivity, arose from his seat on the platform to deliver the opening remarks, | he was received with a volley of cheers. His words rang with patriotism and re- spect for the Emperor'and his sentiments were heartily indorsed by the vast assem- blage. IMPOSING CEREMONIES. Then came the reading of the imperial edict by H. Soyejima, which in turn was followed by a stirring oration in English by K. Koda. The whole company then arose and joined in singing the national anthem of Japan, ‘“Our Emperor For- ever.” The anthem was sung i sturdy fashion and then three cheers of ‘“Ban- zal” went up in enthusiastic accord. An official address was delivered by the Con- sul General and several tots were paraded to the platform and repeated the national anthem. . The programme which followed con- sisted of numerous items, from music on the native instruments of Japan, brave sword dances and fencing, which was at moments hair-raising; children’s songs and a Japanese classical song. There was also an acrobatic performance by two ex- ceedingly agile young people, which won thunders of applause, and moving pic- tures, which gave the greatest delight to young and old. The entertainment closed with a rousing “Banzal” for the Japan- ese in America. During one of the intervals an excep- tionally cxble orchestra discoursed the mabismal of tha United Statem l three Colombian Government warships on 1 the Pacific side of the isthmus and three or four on the Atlantic side. The Gov- ernment has 50,000 troops, under arms in the Interior and on the western coast and these can be moved by transports to Pan- ama or vicinity, but could not be sent overland. Dr. Herran does not expect any speedy recognition by the United States of a government formed at Panama, but real- izes that this Government will keep the transit open on the railway and may find it necessary in so doing to support any government in the city of Panama that is in control, which would be greatly to the advantage of the revolutionists, The state of Panama has a population of about 250,000 people, and it is Jeclared is really the poorest portion of the re- public of Colombia. There has been some | sympathy with Panama and a trend to- ward independence of the states west of the mountains on the Pacific side and bordering on the Caribbean Sea on the Atlantic side. These states are also in- terested in the construction of the canal, while the people of Panama think the canal is a life and death issue. Dr. Her- ran attributes the uprising to the intense desire on the part of the people on the | isthmus for the construction of the canal, and on this account fe#is that the move- ment is more serious than the attempted reyolutions heretofore. The following cablegram was received at the State Department to-night from the United States Consul at Panama: “An uprising took place at Panama to- | night. Independence was proclaimed. The Colombian army and naval officlals were | made prisoners. A Government was to be organized consisting of three Consuls| and a Cabinet. It is rumored at Panama | that a similar uprising was to take place | at Colon.” | Shortly before 10 o'clock Lieutenant Belknap, the cipher officer of the Bureau | of Navigation, came over from the Navy | Department to the White House bringing a message. He was followed by Assist- ant Secretary Darling. There was a hur- ried conference between the President| and the two secretaries, following which | Lieutenant Belknap returned to the Navy | Department in great haste. A few min- utes after the conference Admiral Tay lor, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, called and was immediately admitted to | the Cabinet room, where the Presidenl‘; was. MARINES MAY LAND. The Baltimore is now on her way to Santo Domingo because of an outbreak and disturbed eonditions, but upon her ar- rival at Santo Domingo probably will be | ordered to proceed to the isthmus. Dixie, it is stated, has 400 marines on board, a force that would come in very handy in the event that it is desired to land a force é6n the isthmus. The | ANAMA, Colombia, Nov. 3.—The independence of the isthmus was pro- claimed at 6 p. m. to-day. A large and enthusiastic crowd of all political parties assembled and marched to the headquarters of the Government troops, when General Tovar and General Amaya, who arrived this morning, were imprisoned in the name of the Republic of Panama. The enthusiasm was im- mense and at least 3000 of the men in the gathering were armed. The battalion of Colombian troops at Panama favors the movement, which is also thought to meet with the approval of at least two of the Government transports now here. Thus far no Information has come to the Government indicating that our naval officers, who have pretty broad authority in such matters, have landed marines. In fact, the early advices received by the Navy Department merely stated that the Nashville had arrived at Colon and that the situation is serious. In addition to the orders given above orders were is- sued to-night to the Atlanta to proceed from Jamaica to Colon. When the White House conference broke up at 11 o’clock not much beyvond the official telegram received and orders given would be stated by those partici- pating in it. There is a very general be- lief that the rejection of the Panama canal treaty by Colombia caused the peo- ple of the isthmus to decide to set up a government of their own, but none of the officials of the administration would au- thorize any statement to the effect that this was the case. . Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling made a statement regarding the location of the United States ships likely to be called on for isthmian service. He said: “The Atlanta is now at Jamaica; the Dixie is supposed to be in the vicinity of Jamaica: the Nashville is at Colon; Ad- miral Glass' squadron, comprising the Marblehead, Wyoming and Concord, is at ‘Acapulco; the Boston is a little farther down the coast at San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.' The xfxum'emems of these vessels, addeq Mr. Darling, will be directed by the Navy Department pursuant to requests from the State Department. S G NERO ORDERED SOUTH. Collier Will Carry Coal From San Diego to Panama. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 3.—The first local ef- fect of the disturbance in Panama was | recefved this evening in the form of or- ders from the Navy Department to Cap- tain Shurtleff of the United States collier Nero to leave for Panama with all pos- sible dispatch. The Nero arrived here six days ago with 3400 tons of coal from Philadelphia for the use of the Pacific fleet, which was ected fto arrive here in a few weeks two weeks ago under command of Ad- miral Glass. The Marblehead, Concord and Wyoming were ordered to Acapulco and the Boston, though under sealed or- ders, was supposed to be on her way to Panama to show the flag there and then join the other ships at Acapulco and come north. . The revolution at Panama makes the change in the plans necessary and the | three ships of the squadron will un- doubtedly be ordered to join the Boston at Panama, where the Nero will supply { them with coal.

SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 3.—The an- nual meeting of the Southern California Baptist Association opened here to-day with a large attendance. Over 200 dele- gates were in the city when the first ses- sion opened this afternoon. The doy was taken up with meetings of the Baptist Young People’s Union.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3.—Mrs. Jeanette Gray, a Los Angeles woman, is preparing to remarry Thomas H. Bradford, a prom- inent citizen of Grand Rapids, Mich., from whom she was divorced ten years ago. She is also a member of a prominent Grand Rapids family and the story of her married life is curiously romantic. Thomas Bradford and Jeanette Gray were schoolmates back in Michigan years ago. Things went along smoothly uniil the parents and grandparents of the young woman concluded the friendship was getting entirely too serious and de- termined to break it up. Young Bradford was denied admission to the girl's home, but they managed to meet frequently and finally planned to elope, trusting the | girl's family would feel differently dis- posed toward the young man after the wedding ceremeny. The relatives, instead of being forgiving, were all the more bitter after the mar- rlage and a wealthy grandmother issued an ultimatum to the effect that unless her granddaughter gave up her husband she would give her fortune to charity in- stead of willing it to the granddaughter. The grandmother game to Los Angeles and suffered a serious illness which prom- ised to end her life. Bradford and his wife withstood the importunities of her relatives for a year and then, supposing that the grandmother had not long to live, agreed to separate, he returning to Michigan and she after a time securing a divorce on the ground of desertion. The grandmother recovered her health aud lived nearly ten years. She died only recently and left her for- tune of $50.000 to her granddaughter. Then Mrs. Gray telegraphed her husband and suggested a remarriage. On Novem- ber 19 they will be married again in Grand Rap! e COPPER COMPANY APPEALS ARE READY FOR HEARING Motion Will Be Made To-Day in Mon- tana Supreme Court to Advance Cases on Docket.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 3.—District Attorney Casstus Carter, by rendering an opinion contrary to the opinion rendered by his predecessor, T. L.

Some time ago the county entered into a contract with J. B.

The police think the letters may have been written by a relative of the Bechtels, but are inclined to give credence to them. The letters read: “I read in to-day’'s paper you are at a standstill on the Bechtel case. I would like to give my view of the case. Mrs. Bechtel kill Tom carried her to the basement and probably, too, the boys did not know rything about the murder un the y was found. The girls were told nex . This is my view: home on Sunday night her mother commenced to quarrel and the girl told her she would leave home for good, which enraged the mother more than ever.” The letters advance the theory that the mother took a hatchet to frighten the girl.
