UTI DEPARTMENT'S MOVEMENTS.
Matters on Isthmus and in Cen?
tra! America are in a Critical
Condition.
Washington, Nov. 3.-The navy de?
partment received record today of the
arrival of the Nashville at. Colon last
. night through a cablegram from her
captain, . Commander Hubbard. The
department found it necessary to con?
ceal its purpose in dispatching the
Nashville from Kingston to the isth?
mus, and it was supposed that she
was prevented from going to San
Domingo, because some of her machi?
nery was out of order. As a matter of
fact advices received from the United
States vice consul st Panama, more
than a week ago, determined the State
department to haye some representa
.tive of the United States navy in
isthmian waters. Indeed it is probable
that, beginning with the turning
over of the new coaling station, Ad?
miral Coghlan will be required stead?
ily to maintain a naval force on the ;
Atlantic side bf the isthmus. There
are other. reasons than the Panama
stuation for this, i as the reports com?
bing to the State d?partaient from the
Central American countries north of
Colombia reveal the ezistance of tur?
bulent and dangerciis, conditions.
Only this morning a cablegram came
from one-of the United States consuls
in Honduras stating that the people
there were in a state of excitement
over the reported intention of Niearau
gus to attack Honduras. The Guatema?
lans also are in state of unrest, which
is reflected in the usually peacful
Cost* Rica, and the officials * here
would not be surprised to see some?
thing like a general war result from
the present conditions.
It is positively stated that these
movements, on the part of our navy
are in no .way connected with other
canal project, and that there will be
no attempt to negotiate further with
Colombia on that subject unless that
government advances a reasonable pro?
position.
W PURITY OF* THE COURTS.
Judge Purdy Orders a White Wit?
ness Arrested for Perjury.
Special to The State. *
Barnwell, Nov. 4.-Quite a sensa?
tional episode occurred in court today
at the trial of Tom McKay, colred,
for the shooting of Greenville Green, a
party of his own race. Wil3is Woods,
an intelligent white man, testified in
behalf of McKay, but the circumstan?
ces of the case and the verdict of the
jury showed clearly that the testimony
of young Woods was not believed.
Immediately after the verdict was
read Judge Purdy said that he had
been awaiting such a decision and in?
structed Sheriff Creech to arrest him
at once oh the charge of perjury. This
is considered here a step toward the
uplifting of the charolar of testimony
given in courts.
Although this is Judge Pnrdy's first
visit to Barnwell, he has made a fine
impression on all lovers of truth and
justice.
BLOOD SHED IN LOUISVILLE.
The Republican Sheriff Kills a
Democratic Judge of Elections.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 3.-in a ris
tol fight today in the voting place of
the 39th precinct, of the 11th ward,
at 13th and Green streets, Tom Kiley,
the Democratic judge, was shot
through the head and probably fatally
wounded by Jacob Krieger, the Re?
publican sheriff.
. William Stevens, the Republican
Judge, was crossing the street to enter
the polls when Kiley opened fire on
him. Jacob Krieger, the Republican
sheriff, who was inside the voting
place, says he believed that Stevena's
life was about to be taken and he
opened fire on Killey.
Krieger was subsequently rel?ased
on $500 bail.

mayor of Greater New York having
defeated Mayor Seth Low for reelection
by a plurality of 63,617, complete un?
official returns having been received
from every election district in tbs"city.
By the same returns Comptroller

two years ago as Fusionists, defeated
their Fusion opponents by 66,790 and
64,973 plurality, respectively, Comp?

This sweeping Democratic victory
was accomplished for the Democratic
city and borough tickets in four of the
five boroughs of the muucipality, only
Richmond borough, (Staten Island,)
giving Low a plurality and electing
Fuison borough officers. J. Edward
Swanstrom, Fusion, who it was
thought last night, might be elected
president of Brooklyn borough, was
defeated by Martin W. Littleton, the
Demoractic candidate, by 2,129 plural?
ity, in spite of Littleton's attitude in
opposition to the Democrtaic city
ticket.
McClellan's total vote for mayor was
314,906 to 251,289 for Low.
William S. Devery, ind?pendant can?

Maryland Redeemed.
Batlimore, Md., Nov. 4.--At mid?
night the returns of Tuesday elections
from Baltimore "city and the State of
Maryland had not all been received.
In Baltimore city the entire Demo?
cratic State ticket, comprising Edwin
Warfield, of Howard county, Governor ;
Gordon T. Atkinson, of Somerset
county,Comptroller, and William Shep?
herd Bryan, Jr., of Baltimore city, At?
torney General, was elected by 5,000
plurality. The Democrats elected in
Baltimore city three Senators and
eighteen members of the House of
Delegates by large majorities.
The republicans elected one State
Senator and six members of the House
of Delegates. Wm. H. Green, Republi?
can, is apparently elected sheriff of the
city by a plurality of between 100 and
.200.
The returns from all the counties of
the State have not been received, but
enough reports are in hand to assure
an overwhelming Democratic majority
bn joint ballot in the General Assem
oly, which mil elect a successor to
United States Senator Louis McComas.
From returns received at this hour,
it is conceded that the Democrats will
have on joint ballot 82 votes, in the
General Assembly to 41 Republican
votes. Warfield's plurality in the State
will probably reach 8,000.
Ohio Belongs to Hanna.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4.-The Re?
publican plurality in Ohio is about
15,000 for Governor, and the majority
in the Legislature on joint ballot for
Senator is 93.
Chairman Dick, of the Republican
State committee, today received re?
ports from ali his eighty-eight county
committees, and tonight announced
that Herrick, Republican, had carried
62 counties, and Johnson, Democrat,
28, for Governor, most of the latter by
small and the former by large plurali?
ties. On a total vote of less than
900,000. Herrick's pluralities in the
counties aggregate 135,132, and John?
son's 20,476, so that Herrick has a net
plurality in the State of 114,706, accord
ig to estimates that may be increased
from 1,000 to 2,000 by the official
count. The plurality on the rest of
the Republican State ticket will likely
be from 4,000 to 5,000 less than that
for Herrick. The total vote for John
on was less than for any Democratic
candidate for Governor for years. The
senate stands 29 Republicans and 4
Democrats. The House stands Sd Re?
publicans and 21 Democrats.

THE PANANIA REVOLUTION
Not Unexpected on the -isthmus
or in Washington-Panama
Bombarded by Colombia
Gunboat.
Panama, Colombia, Nov. 4.-The
revolution which occurred yesterday,
and which resulted in the proclama?
tion of the independence of the Isth?
mus of Panama, was not unexpected.
Since Sunday last all kinds of rumors
had been in circulation, but it was
not until Tuesday night that the hour
so long looked forward to by the in?
habitants of Panama arrived. For
two days previous groups of people
had been gathered about the town dis*
cussing the situation, which caused
alarm upon the part of the authorities,
for the houses of Dr. Manuel Amador,
Jose Arango and Frederick Boyd and
other leaders of the popular movement
were watched by the police, but the
revolutionists fearlessly went in and
out of their residences, issued their
orders and their plans were carried
out.
The revolutionists decided upon 5
P. M. as the hour to proclaim the in?
dependence of the isthmus, but a
change occurred in their plans and
word was sent to Santa . Ana, where
over 2,0Q0 men had congregated, for
the revolutionists to disperse until 7
P.M., but they were already march?
ing towards the plaza Chiriqui, cheer?
ing enthusiastically for the independ?
ence of the isthmus. Thereon signal
was given to Gen. Huertas, of the
revolutionary forces, who, in the name
of the Republic of Panama, arrested
Gen. Tovar and his stan, and escorted
them to police headquarters, amidst
wild cheering for the new Republic,
for Dr. Amador and for the other lead?
ers of the revolution. The flag of the
Republic of Panama was then formally
hoisted.
The cause of the revolution may be
briefly summed np as being the result
of the action of the Congress of Colom?
bia at Boogta in rejecting the Hay
Herran canal treaty. The Panamians
are almost to a man in favor of the
construction of the canal by- the
United States, and it had repeatedly
been prohesied before and after the
meeting of Congress that Panama
would secede if the treaty were reject?
ed, and would probably come to terms
with the United States for the building
of the great isthmian gateway.
The revolutionary junta is compos?
ed of Jose Augustin Arjano, Frederico
Boyd and Tomas Arias, who have
charge of the Government.
The composition of the provincial
Cabinet is as follows : ?
Minister of the Government, Eusbis1
Morales.
Minister of finance, Dr. Manuel
Amador.
Minister of foreign relations, F. V.
De La Esprilla.
Minister of Justice, Carlos Men?
doza. Minister of public instruction,
N. Victoria.
Minister of war and marine, De
Obarrio, Jr.
While Dr. Amador was in conference
yesterday with the Government gen?
erals the officer who is second in com?
mand of the Government war ship
Bogota sent an ultimatum to the revo?
lutionists, giving them three hours in
which to restore the Colombian Gov?
ernment, the time to expire at 10 p.
m., yesterday, but before receiving
an answer the Bogota began a bom?
bardment of Panama. Her fire was re?
turned by the guns of the town forts
and by those of the gunboat Padilla,
which had declared in favor of the
revolution. Snortly afterwards the
Bogota left the bay but as she has
very little coal on board she will not
be able to go very far.
Communication by telegraph with
Bogota is interrupted.
THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Washington, Nov. 4.-Vice United
States Consul Ehrman, at Panama,
cables the State department under
today's date that the Colombian Gov?
ernment war ship Bogota is shelling
the city. One Chinaman has been
killed.
Mr. Ehrman has been instructed to
protest against the bombardment.
If the consul's protest is not suffic?
ient, then the commander of the Unit?
ed States ship Boston, which is by
this time on her way to Panama
from San Juan del Sur, 600 miles dis?
tant, will promptly seize the Colom?
bian gunboat if necessary to stop the
bombardment.
This bombardment is in violation
of all the rules of war, beginning as
it did without ,the required notice.
Moreover the United States Govern?
ment takes the ground that it certain?
ly interferes with the freedom of tran?
sit across the Isthmus, which this
Government is by treaty bound to
maintain.
The greatest activity was exhibited
in the State and navy departments
this morning and there were frequent
consultations between the officials, the
naval officers particularly being intent
on working out the details for the
plan of the protection of the Isthmian
traffic outlined by the State depart?
ment.
It is quite evident that the navy is
making preparations for a larger de?
monstration in'Isthmian waters than
it has made for many years, and the
fact is not disguised that all of the
information that has come from the
secret agents of the Government point
to the ultimate success of the revolu?
tion.
"Yon will protect American inter?
ests at all periods, and do everything
possible to avoid bloodshed," f's the
substance of the instructions cabled
by the navy department at the instance
of the State department to the naval
commanders now at the Isthmus or on
their way. The last part of the in?
structions is particularly significant,
for it forecasts a more active inter?
position by the United States Govern?
ment in the troubles on the Isthmus
than has perhaps ever before been dis?
played.
With the Atlanta, Dixie and Nash?
ville there will be a naval force on
the Gulf side of the Isthmus suffic?
ient to meet any probable emergency.
The presence of 400 Colombian Gov?
ernment troops at Colon makes the
situation there at present more diffi?
cult than on the Panama side. It will
probably oblige the United States to
take temporary possession of the rail?
way, as traffic cannot be maintained
with one end of the line in possession of
the Government forces and the other
in the hands of the revolutionists. The
effect of such seizure of the road
would be to prevent the movement of
any body of troops carrying arms from
one side of the Isthmus to the other.
Some cabled inquiries have come to
the State department from men who
stand very high in the business world
of Panama asking if the United States
Government would extend recognition
to the new State if the present move?
ment were successful. The inquiries
did not come in such form as to justify
an onicial anster, and it is said that
it is not the policy of this Government
to commit itself in such cases.
The invariable rule as to recog?
nition in cases of revolution
is to recognize de facto conditions,
and if the United States consular offi?
cers at Panama and Colon report that
there is an actual working government
in possession of the Isthmus they will
be allowed to do business with it.
The United States Government re?
ceived a caiegram today from Panama
requesting that it recognize the new
Government. The officials here are as
yet in ignorance as to what the new
Government consists of and have taken
no action on the request.
ALL QUIET IN PANAMA.
Panama. Colombia, Nov. 5.-ll a.
m.-The Government of the new Re?
public of Panama is constantly receiv?
ing congratulations from Paris, Lon?
don, the republics of|Central America
and from nearly all other parts of the
world.
Up to the hour of filing this dis?
patch nothing definite had been decid?
ed in regard to Colon, where the Gov?
ernment troops brought to that port
by the cruiser Cartagena from Sava
nilla are still encamped. The Govern?
ment of the Republic of Panama is
making all possible efforts to prevent
bloodshed but the correspondent of
the Associated Press understands that
an ultimatum has been sent to Col.
Torres, commander of the Government
forces at Colon, announcing that it is
the intention of the Government of
the Republic of Panama, should Col.
Torres refuse to consider the generous
proposals made to him to permit the
embarkation of his troops on board a
steamer and their transportation back
to Savanilla, to send ?n army to attack
Colon.
. The telegraph lines communicating
with the interior of the Isthmus of
Panama are kept busy trasmitting
notices from the inhabitants of outly?
ing places of their adhesion to the re?
cently declared Republic of Panama.
All was quite here last night and
there have been no disturbances at
Panama today. Telegraphic advices
received from the interior provinces
say there was great rejoicing there
when the news of the declaration of
the independence of Panama became
known. The Government troops, sta?
tioned at Penonome, sixty-five miles
southwest of Panama, have joined in
the revolutionary ?hpvement, and
almost every moment telegrams are
received from the most important men
in the interior announcing their ad?
hesion to the new Republic.
The revolution has been practically
blood less, as only two Chinamen were
killed during the bombardment of the
city by the Government gunboat Bo*
gota. The fire of the war ship un?
roofed one house, one shell hit the
tower of the cathedral and another
fell on the house of Fedrico Boyd, a
member of the revolutionary junta.
. The foreign consuls promptly sent a
communication to the commander of
the Bogota protesting against his ac?
tion in opening fire OE the city with?
out giving proper notification of his
! intention to do so.
COLOMBIAN TROOPS WITH?
DRAWN.
Panama. Colombia Nov. 5.-2 p. m.
-Gen. Tovar and his staff have at
last been convinced of the uselessness
of their resistance to the provisional
government, and have accepted the
terms offered by the inn ta. They will
embark this afternoon for Colon on an
express train and will leave immediate?
ly on the royal mail steamer Orinoco
for Cartagena. The arrangement to
this end was made through the efforts
of Commander Hubbards, of the Unit?
ed States gunboat Nashville, Superin?
tendent Shaler and Assistant Superin?
tendent Prescott, of the Panama Rail?
road, who guarantee that both parties
will fulfil the agreement.
There is great rejoicing all over the
city because the stability of the Re?
public now seems assured. The fact
that troops were already moving to?
ward the line probably decided Gen.
Tovar and his staff to accept the terms
of the junta.
Causes of the Revolution.
Panama, Colombia, Nov. 5.-Last
night revolutionary junta published a
manifesto, addressed to the citizens of
the Republic of Panama saying that
the inhabitants of the isthmus had
done what was inevitable, in view of
a situation which was becoming graver
daily. It was pointed out that not?
withstanding the grievances inflicted
on the Isthmians by their Colombian
brothers, thc former had suffered with
resigation for the sake of harmony and
the union, and in view of the fact
that reparation was possible, so long
as hopes'could be entertained of an im?
provement in the situation and of the
isthmus ultimately making effective
progress under Colombian rule.
The manifesto then refers to the fact
that the Isthmus of Panama netted
Colombia large sums in customs dues.
It was but just to point out, says the
manifesto, that, in spite of the lara:e
sums of money collected from the isth?
mus for fiscal purposes, the latter had
not received the benefit of even a
bridge over any of its rivers, the con?
struction of a single road betweei any
of the towns of the isthmus, the erec?
tion of any pablic buildings, as not
even the most infinitesimal part of the
large-sums collected had been applied
towards benefiting Panama in any
shape or form, t
The failure of the Hay-Herran canal
treaty to meet with approval of the
Congress at Bogota is then touched
upon. It is pointed ont that only a
few public men were opposed to the
treaty, and that their opposition was
due to the fact that it was alleged that
Panama would be the only part of the
country which would receive direct
benefits from the building of an inter
oceanic canal. The manifesto then
continues :
"The people of the isthmus, in view
of this notorious situation, have de?
cided to recover their sovereignty, in
order to work out their own destiny
and to insure the future of Panama in
a manner in keeping with the evident
destiny of the country."
Attitude of Washington.
Washington, Nov. 5.-Formal an?
nouncement has been received at the
State departmet by cable from Panama
of the establishment of a new Govern?
ment, which, the dispatch states, is
capable of maintaining order. The
cablegram cornea from the three con?
suls constituting the new Government,
and is signed by Frederico Boyd, Jose
Augustin A rango and Tomas Arias.
The department has not taken any
steps toward recognizing the new
order of things, though the United
States consuls have large discretion
in this matter, and may already have
recognized the de facto power of the
junta at Panama. It is pointed out,
however, that no such action on their
part would affect the political rela?
tions of the new Government with the
United States. In due course of time,
if it shall appear that that Government
is able to maintain itself and pre?
serve order, the State department
would extend a formaal recognition,
but there is no particular reason for
haste, it is said. It is assumed that
there will be no disposition on the
part of the new Government to re?
pudiate the concessions heretofore
granted to individuals or corporations
by the Government at Bogota.
Washington, Nov. 6.-The events of
the day as they developed here relative
to the situation on the isthmus were
the recognition of the de facto govern?
ment, the receipt of dispatchses from
Commander Hubbard of the Nashville ;
the arrival in Washington of Consul
Gen. Gudger of Panama and the issue
of orders to Admiral Coghlan to pro?
ceed forthwith to the isthmus with the
consul general.
Commander Hubbard cabled that the
Colombian government troops under
Gens. Torres and Tovar, 450 strong at
Colon, had departed on a merchant
vessel. He stated that the isthmus
from one side to the other was in the
bands of the revolutionists. This
statement is of the greatest importance,
the United States government being
bound by treaty to maintain order and
preserve free traffic across the isthmus
is now under the obligation to prevent
any hostile collison either along the
line of the Panama railway or the ter?
mini, Panama and Colon. Thus the
future attitude of the Colombina gov?
ernment towards the new republic of
Panama becomes of little importance,
for it is practically impossible for it
to go to war with Panama. Officials
here familiar with the country declare
that it is impossible to take the
Colombian army overland to the
isthmus owing to the character off the
country. On the other hand, if an
attempt is made to bring troops either
to Colon or Panama by water the
United States naval officers at those
points would interfere. Thus by force
of treaty obligations requiring the
maintenance or order across the
isthmus as a necessary condition to
free transit, the United States Govern?
ment pracitcally has been placed in
the position of a protector to the new
republic of Panama ; that, too, regard?
less of any bias on the part of the
United States government towards
either party to the strife in Colombia.
It is authoritatively stated today that
though the recognition of che nesv re?
public is of a business character at
first consisting of an authorization
tn rough our consular officials on
the isthmus to do business with the
new government as they did with the
Colombian government, this will in
due time be followed by full political
recognition. This latter form of re?
cognition will be deferred until the
government at Panama has taken a
more regular form. It is presumed
here that the junta will very soon issue
a call for a convention which will
adopt a constitution and provide for
the selection of a president. Then it
will be in order for ministers to be
appointed between the two countries,
the United States and Panama, which
will constitute full political recogni?
tion of the new state. That condition
will enable the conduct of negotia?
tions that may be necessary to the suc?
cessful execution of the project of the
United States for the construction
of the isthmian canal, and it is a
certainty that existing concessions will
not suffer.
U. 5. Representatives Instructed What
to Say and Do.
Washington, Nov. 6.-The United
States government has recognized the
de facto government of Panama. It
was announced at the state department
today after the return of Secretary
Hay from the cabinet meeting that
instructions have been sent to United
States Minister Beaupre at Bogota as?
suming that he has not left the capital,
and to Mr. Ehrman, the United States
vice-consul at Panama, and now acting
consul there, to inform the govern?
ments of Colombia and Panama re?
spectively that the de facto govern?
ment ?3 recognized.
The telegram to Mr. Ehrman fol?
lows :
"The people of Panama having by an
apparently unanimous movement dis?
solved their political connection with
the republic of Colombia and resume
their ind?pendance. When you are
astisfied that a de facto government,
republican in form and ' without sub?
stancial opposiiton from its own peo?
ple, has been established in the state
of Panama, you will enter into rela?
tions with it as the responsible govern?
ment of the territory, and look to it
for all due action to protect the per?
sons and property of citizens of the
United States and to keep open the
isthmian transit in accordance with
the obligations of exhisting treaties
governing the relations of the United
States to that territory.
Minister Beanpre was instructed in
the following terms :
"The people of Panama having by
an apparently unanimous movement
dissolved their political connection
with the republic of Colombia, and re?
sumed their ind?pendance and having
adopted a government of their own,
republican in form, with which the
government of the United States of
America has entered into relations, the
president of the United States in
accordance with the ties of friendship
which have so long and so happily ex?
isted between the respective nations,
most earnestly commends to the govern?
ments of Colombia and of Panama the
peaceful and equitable settlement of
all questions at,issue between them.
He holds that* he is bound not
merely by treaty obligations, but by
the interests of the civilization to see
that the peaceful traffic of the world
across the isthmus of Panama shall no
longer be disturbed by a constant suc?
cession of unnecessary and wasteful
wars. ' '
SNUFFED HIS UGH! OUT.
A Lexington County Negro Imi?
tates lim Tillman.
Swansea, Nov. L- On Sunday even?
ing two negro boys got into a difficulty
near the Red Stone, Sandy Bun, Lex?
ington county. Campbell Speaks shot
and killed Perry Isaac. Speaks left
for parts unknown. He is about 17 or
18 years old, black, about 5 feet high,
of heavy build, full eyes ; lisps when
he talks.
It appears that there was no occasion
for the killing. The boy Speaks bought
a pistol Saturday and said he was go?
ing to get a man with it, which he
proceeded to do. The affair occurred
in ac isolated section, some 10 or 32
miles from a trial justice. Efforts will
be made to capture him.
? Cough is emly a Symptom.
A cough is not a disease but a symptom
of disease. A cough always indicates that
either the throat or lungs are affected.
When the mucus lining of the throat or
lungs becomes inflamed the irritation caus?
es coughing. Don't neglect a cough. It
may be the symptom of serious throat
