OLYMPIA SAILS BY
CARTAGENA FORTS
COGHLAN'S FLAGSHIP PASSES INTO
HARBOR, SCARING COLOMBIAN
WARSHIP ONTO A BAR.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS..
Colon, )Dec. 29.-Admiral Coghlan's
flagship, the cruiser Olympia, arrived here
yesterday afternoon from Cartagena,
hliinging A. M. Beaupre, United States
muinister to Colombia, and Mrs. Beauprc.
Minister and Mrs. Beaupre arrived at
Ca'rtagena from iBogota last Saturday and
boarded the Olympia on her arrival Sun
day. The Olympia immediately sailed for
Colon.
Minister Beaupre will sail for New
York on the steamer Yucatan today. The
reception of the Olympia at Cartagena
was friendly. The naval authorities here
received instructions from Washington on
Christmas day not to send the cruiser
Atlanta, the converted cruiser Mayflower
and the gunboat Castine to Cartagena
with the Olympia, as previously projected.
Set Sail Alone.
The Olympia, therefore, sailed for Car
tagena alone at daybreak last Saturday
and arrived off the Boca Chicha entrance
to the big lagoon, on which Cartagena is
situated, early Sunday morning.
As the Olympia ran in toward the en
trance she descried the Colombian cruiser
Cartagena four miles distant, making
every effort to reach the entrance and
to pass into the lagoon ahead of the
Olympia, which she succeeded in doing.
The Olympia steamed slowly to the tor
tuous entrance between two old Spanish
forts, which apparently were deserted, and
found the Colombian cruiser had taken
up a position a short distance inside, but
commanding the entrance. It was
learned subsequently that the Cartagena
had grounded there, and that later she
was towed into port.
Fired a Salute.
The ()lympia passed the Colombian war
shilps and proceeded to Cartagena, whiolh
is eight miles from the entrance. Anchor
ing about a mile from the town, the
Olympia hoisted the Colombian flag at
her main mast and fired a salute of as
gunk. Shortly thereafter the Colombian
battery at the edge of town returned the
salute.
Admiral Cogihlan then sent a boat ashore
to communicate with United States Consul
Orr, but it was learned Mr. Orr had left
Cartagena about a fortnight ago for Bar
ranquilla.
Tie British vice consul at Cartagena,
who is a very sick man and is hardly
expected to live, had undertaken to look
after the United States interests pending
the arrival of Mr. Orr's successor.
Admiral Coghlan then arranged to pay
an official visit to Dr. Jose Insignares, the
governor of Bolivar, which bae did in the
afternoon, accompanied by capt. Harrison
Men of the
Smart Set!
Now is the time when the male mem
bers of Butte's smart set should look
with care through their wardrobe.
It's the season of fashionable func
tions, and the proper things for after
noon and evening wear demand care
ful consideration. New Year's calls
are to be made, and call for a strict
observance of fashion's latest man
dates. In this connection we call your
particular attention to our exception
ally complete lines of Full Dress Re
quisites in
Shirts, Ties, Vests,
Gloves and Mufflers
Most of themn being not only the latest
creations, but in styles and patterns
under our exclusive control for Butte.

117 North Main St.
G. Colby. Both officers were in full dress
uni form.
A big crowd gathered at the docks to
meet Admiral Coghlan and Captain Colby,
and it silently followed the carriage con
taining the officers through the streets to
the palace, where another big crowd as
seisbled.
Received by the Governor.
Governor Insignares, surroulded by a
large number of secretaries and aides, re
ceived Admiral Coghlan in the large salon
of the palace, to which the populace was
admitted. The latter, however, were sep
arated from the dignataries by a railing.
Adnliral Coghllan and Governor Isignares
exchanged formalities.
The governor said he would return the
visit immediately, whereupon Admiral
Coghlan returned to the Olympia. The
officers were in no way molested or an
noyed by the crowd which closely followed
all the time.
Neither by words or looks did the pop
ulace display any hostility. 'lThe Colomn
bian battery fired a rear admiral's salute
as Admiral Coghlan pulled for the
Olympia.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
Governor Insignares, accompanied by a
numerous retinue, boarded the Olympia
for the return visit, and remained for 15
minutes.
More Salutes.
When the governor and party were dis
embarked, thAe Olympia fired a governor's
salute of zi guns and immediately there
after hoisted anchor and steamed out of
the lagoon.
While Admiral Coghlan and other Amer
icans were treated civilly and courteously,
and while their visit was not marked by
the slightest unpleasant or untoward in
cident, it was evident that the authorities
at Cartagena were not very glad to see
the Olympia, and were happy when she
took her departure.
Admiral Coghlan was careful to leave at
the soonest possible moment, evidently
remembering the absolute loyalty of the
department of Bolivar to the Bogota
government. It is expected the Bogota
government had spies in Cartagena who
were carefully watching for asny evidence
of disloyalty, since the Cartagenaian au
thorities evidently desired to avoid all un
necessary friendliness with Americans.
Governor Insignares kept himself sur
rounded by his staff of secretaries during
his interviews with Admiral Coghlan, in
order, no doubt, to have witnesses to prove
that lie was no more friendly than the
circumstances required.
No Politics Talked.
No political references were made dur
ing the interview, except by the chief of
the Cartagena customs who, while aboard
the Olympia, proposed with great earnest
ness a toast to the continuance of friendly
relations between the United States and
Colombia.
Comparatively little information as to
the situation could be gained at Cartagena.
There was probably 3,500 troops there and
there are reported to be 5,ooo at Barran
quilla. Tihe government is doubtless
slowly concentrating troops at Barran
quilla, and moving them toward Titumnli
in small numbers. There are probably
1,zoo Colombian soldiers at Titumali and
vicinity today and this number is gradu
ally being increased.
Minister Beaupre had a good trip down
the Magdalena river, and was greatly
gratified to find that the Olympia had been
sent to Cartagena to bring 'him to Colon.
The Blogota authorities extended every
courtesy to the minister, who left Bogota
in a special train and was carried down
the river by a special steamer. lie made
the trip from Bogota to Cartagena in
seven days.
Beaupre Will Not Talk.
The Associated Press correspondent
questioned Minister Beaupre concerning
the situation, but the minister emphatically
declined to talk of the political conditions.
Mr. Beaupre is going home on a leave of
absence which has been long deferred.
lHe said lie thought any trouble between
the Utnited States and Colombia was im
probabsle, and that the Americans in
('olombia, of whom there were very few,
there being only about to inll ogota and
sonie prospectors in Antionuia and other
districts, were in no danger of molesta
tion.
General Rafael Reyes has been hitterly
criticized at Bogota for having invited the
Panaa comlllllissilners to breakfast here
. hen aboard the Canada. The geceral's
action in this mat'or is considered undig
nified and a sign of weakness.
(;eneral Reyes' contiuntued absence at
Washington is resulting in a certain slight
weakening of his influence and prestige,
It can he safely said that the influence
of time and a calmer collsideration of the
situation is Ibringing about, though slowly,
a greater readlintess on the part of Colonm
bia to accept the inevitable and to get all
she possibly can from the republic of
Panama by diplomatic means.

This week we make the warmest kind of prop

"Buck's" Heating Stoves. Realizing that a sum
mer's rest in our warehouse would not improve
the heaters, but add the interest on their worth
to their cost next fall, we have determined to sell
nstead of carrying them over. To do this we
have underpriced them to such an extent that
buying will be the part of wisdom on the part of
anyone who has the least particle of use for them.
Remember "Buick's" are best, and these are the
best "Buck's" prices for buyers you ever heard of.
