Special Dispatch to The Call. ASHINGTON, Nov. 10.— The orders issued by the Navy Department to prevent Colombian troops embarking for isthmian ports changed to-day as the result of a con- clusion reached at the regular meeting of the President and his Cabinet that such prevention would be an act of war against Colombia. In consequence the naval commanders in isthmian waters were notified to use only moral suasion to induce the Colombian troops not to start for the isthmus, Should an .at- COLOMBIAN TRGOPS MAY EMBARK, BUT NOT FOR PANAMA were | | |+ s & | | | STATESMEN WHO ARE TAK- i IN PART IN THE PANAMA DEVELOPMENTS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Another large leaf tobacco concern, that of Ctump Brothers, was forced into the bankruptcy court to- day. The firm has had a large trade In leaf tobacco for ten years, and its failure, like that of Sutter Brothers, caused sur— prise among business men. The concerns of Sutter Brothers and Crump Brothers were intimately connect- ed in business dealings, and the failure of the former injured the credit of the latter to such an extent that it was deemed ad- visable to turn the property over to the care of the United States District Court, so that all creditors might be treated allke. The Nabilities of the firm are es- timated at $225,000 and the assets at $150,- 000, though the latter are said to be worth nomirally more than the debts. @ il @ Montana, and the fact that thousands of idle men will bespermitted to return to work. g Scallon, in his interview to-night, said: ,“The Amalgamated Company is willing to trust its case with the legislators of the State and there is nog the slightest desire on the part of the company to make any one suffer, therefore, we will open up at once, without waiting until December 1 or after to see what the legislators will do. All we ask is fair play.” A sortie was made by 140 Gov- ernment troops, but they were am- bushed and compelled to retire within the walls, leaving their dead and wounded on the field. Farly Sunday night there was another heavy attack, but the rebels were again repulsed. The losses are unknown. Several shells exploded in the city this morning. The Dominican cruiser Presi- dente has arrived here, leaving the so-called blockaded ports open to navigation. The anti-American feeling is intense. 2 SAN DOMINGO, Nov. 7 (Delayed.)—On Monday, No- vember 2, the Clyde Line steam- ship Cherokee was fired upon by the Dominican cruiser Presidente while running the blockade of Samana. She returned to the _apital. The United States cruiser Baltimore reported to Minister Powell at the capital and three hours later left to convey the Cherokee. On Tuesday armed Govern- ment forces prevented the German steamship Athenes delivering her cargo at Macoris, Samana, San- chez, Puerto Plata and Monte Christi and she returned with her cargo to St. Thomas. The Ger- man Consul requested his Govern- ment to order a man-of-war to the capital. At midnight, November 6, all wires were cut.

News came to the State Department yesterday that two steamers, one the Quito and the other the Mindanao, or a name similar to that, were to be used by the Colombian Gov- ernment to carry troops to the isthmus from Buena Ventura, the nearest Pacific port to Bogota. Orders were according- ly sent to Commander Diehl of the cruiser Boston to go to Buena Ventura and warn the British ships and the com- mander of the troops to be embarked that the vessels could not leave port with the troops aboard. These orders were sent last night or this morning. As changed to-day they provide that the commander of the Colombian troops about to embark at Buena Ventura and the masters of the merchantmen shall be warned that they will not be permitted to land soldiers at any isthmian port. Those responsible for the changed or- ders held that while the United States Government wa$ legally = empowered to suppress any attempt that would lead to disorder or bloodshed on the isthmus, it had no authority t enter Colombian ports outside the isthmus for the purpose of preventing the embarkation of troops. The American war vessel sent to give the warning will stay with the merchant- men if they persist in going to the isthmus, so as to be close at hand if any attempt to land soldiers is made. The Navy Department is advised that Rear Admiral Glass, commanding the Pa- cific station, arrived at Panama this morning with the crulser Marblehead and the gunboat Concord, having made a quick run from Acapulco. Their consort, the monitor Wyoming, was not able to keep up with the vessels and will prob- ably not reach Panama before Thursday. By virtue of his rank Admiral Glass will have supreme command over the naval forces in the vicinity of Panama. ey CANAL COMMISSION STARTS. Panama Agents En Route to Wash- ington to Negotiate Treaty. PANAMA, Nov. 10—Dr. Manuel Ama- dor, Frederico Boyd and Carlos Constan- tin Arosamana left to-day for Washing- ton on instructions from the Provisional Government to negotlate a canal treaty with the Government of the United States. Dr. Amador is 70 years of age, yet it was largely owing to his daring and great en- ergy that the independence of the isth- mus was proclaimed on November 3. British merchant | that place in the name of the | new republic of Panama has | returned here and the officers | | report that the place was captured and | the flag - hoisted without a shot having | been fired. No difficulties whatever were encountered. The majority of the offi- | cials of the Bocas del Toro are natives of Panama and they expressed themselves as rejoiced at the course affairs had taken Ion the isthmus. There were only a few found who were dissatistied. The provisional government of Panama has received a telegram from President Marrowquin of the republic of Colombia, glving assurances that the Panama canal bill would mést certainly pass Congress next August and that General Reyes was on his way to the isthmus to make pro- posals looking to peace and the saving of the national honor. The provisional gov- ernment has sent a letter to General Reyes, which will reach him on his ar- rival at Savinalla, advising' that it is use- less for him to come to Panama, as his mission is a hopeless one. The cruiser Atlanta has just arrived from her cruise along the coast. ———— FRANCE GIVES RECOGNITION. Will Deal With the De Facto Govern- ment in Panama. PARIS, Nov. 10.—The French Govern- ment has recognized tne de facto Gov- ernment of the republic of Panama. The instructions forwarded by Foreign Minister Delcasse to the French Consul in Panama authorized him to have rel. tions with the new Government. The in- structions are substantially the same as those sent from Wdshington to the United States Consul in Panama and_will have the effect of giving the same lh'. nition of the new regime as the United States has already given. Formal recog- nition will follow later, when the new Government is fully organized, but the instructions of the Consul definitely es- tablish the attitude of France toward the new republic. The action of Delcasse is not yet publicly known. According to the strict requirements of the protocol governing the recognition of a new sovereignty, a formal letter must be addressed by the new Government to France and the other powers notifying them that it is completely established, The official response to this letter will constitute a formal recognition. The for- malities may be carried on by mail later, but the instructions to the Consul are Continued on Page 2, Column 1, PRICE FIVE CENTS. SANE WOMAN BREAKS FROM AN SYLUM Reveals Details of Atrocious Con- spiracy.. Undergoes Awful Suf- fering in Dash for Freedom. Prominent Men Will Aid in Prosecution of Her Persecutors. —_— Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SIOUX CITY, Ia., 10.—Escaping from the South Dakota Insane Asylum at Yankton, where she had been confined, as she believes, because of a conspiracy; wandering two nights through the Mis- sour! River bottom lands, almost starved, not daring to be seen; pawning her wed- ding ring for money to stop at a hotel and buy a ticket to Sioux City; now holding a good position in this cfty and enlisting her influential South Dakota friends to find her little boy, who has been taken from her—such s the story of Mrs. Mabel ‘Whitney, formerly a teacher in the South Dakota Schoei for the Blind at Gary. Mrs. Whitney, a bright young woman of 30, to-day told her story to B. H. Lien of Sioux Falls, a member of the Board of Charities when Mrs. Whitney was at Gary. He and other prominent South Da- kotans pledged themselves to help the plucky woman. Mrs. Whitney, leaving the school Gary, went to Sioux Falls and engaged in teaching music. She and her mother had disagreements, which may have been re- sponsible for Mrs. Whitney's troubles. ..t any rate Mrs. Whitney was committed to the asylum at Yankton. She tried to in- duce the authorities to give her an exami- v. at nation by skilled allenists. In this she fatled. LOVE SAVES HER REASON. Her mind might have given way but for her concern about her boy, who, hav- ing lost his father, was the pride of the devoted mother. When she was sent to the asylum the little fellow was sent to an orphanage, which she has been unable to locate. But this determined her to es- cape. She concluded that she must take French leave of the institution, that was practically a prison. The buildings were guarded and the windows barred by heavy gratings. Mrs. Whitney calculated that she must conduct herself as a model pris- oner. In a short time she knew the routine of the institution perfectly and was ready to escape. The heavy shutters of her first floor window were fastened by screws. Wait- ing till a night when there would be no moon, she took from the dining-room a spoon. Secreting it till she reached her room, she succeeded In removing the screws that fastened the heavy shutt She knew that at a certain moment the electrical current which maintained the incandescent lights was turned off for a brief space. The current had to be switched from a dynamo to a storage bat- tery. In the moment of darkness the prisoner made her escape. The grounds were pa- trolled by guards, but with great care she managed to loosen the shutter screws, leaving the frame in its place. DROPS FROM THE WINDOW. As the light went out the woman tore away the shutter, and, dropping to the ground, ran until exhausted. She spent that night and the next in the woods, sleeping on the ground. She finally reached Elk Point, where she raised enough money to buy a raflroad ticket'to Stoux City, where she found employment as a walitress. Mrs. Whitney told her story to friends and they helped her. To-day Lien, who two years ago was the Democratic can- didate for Governor of South Dakota and who is one of the wealthiest men in that State, and several other prominent South Dakota men gathered here heard her story and decided that the evidence sus- tained her claims that she had been grossly Imposed upon. She sald her mother and sister had her incarcerated as insane because she believed in clair- voyance. Hubbard & Burgess, a leading law firm, were engaged and a serfes of sensational legal suits will follow. ———— SEAS SWEEP STEAMER AND BARGE IS LOST Vessel ‘With a Tow Has Narrow Escape on Gulf of Georgia.
