fO THE HAGU E COUR i
COLOMBIANS WILL PROPOSE SUB-
MISSION OF PANAMA QUES-
TION TO ARBITRATION.
STATEMENT OF CASE BEING PREPARED
WAYNE MACVEAGH ASSISTING CO-
LOMBIAN MINISTER IN GET.
TING UP DOCUMENT.
Washington, Dec. 12. General
Reyes, Dr. Herran and Wayne Mac
Veagh were in conference for some
time at the Colombian legation pre
paring a statement setting out the
Colombian position. Rumors are afloat
that, failing other means of settle
ment, the Colombians are trying to
secure a submission to The Hague
tribunal of the questions growing out
of the separation of Panama and that
this will appear in the statement.
It is the intention of the navy de
partment to increase its force in isth
mian waters by the addition of a tor
pedo boat destroyer, which will act
as a dispatch boat.
M. Bunau-Varilla, the minister from
Panama, called at the state depart
ment and had a lengthy conference
with Acting Secretary Loomis, the
nature of which he would not disclose.
When asked regarding the reported
attempt to create a division among
the members of the Panama Canal
company and its probable effect on
the ratification of the canal treaty by
the United States senate M. Bunau
Varilla said that while the matter is
completed so far as Panama is con
cerned it is advisable to move quickly
because delays tend to affect the
Imagination and so long as the thing
Is unsettled complications are likely
to arise.
He declined to enter on a discussion
regarding any action which the Pan
ama Canal company may take.
WATCHING THE COLOMBIANS.
Several Scouting Parties Leave Pan
ama for the Border.
Panama, Dec. 12.Several of theLeading
Panaman scouting parties have al
ready left here and others will leave
Panama shortly to watch the move
ments of the Colombians. No reports
have yet been received from the par
ties in the field and there is no news
tending to confirm the report from La
Guayra of the landing of Colombian
troops at the mouth of the Atrato
river.
A Panaman gunboat and a United
States gunboat have proceeded to
gether to David, near the western end
of the isthmus of Panama, for the pur
pose of giving the people of that dis
trict evidence of the fact that the
United States forces are co-operating
with those of Panama in maintaining
peace on the isthmus.
The principal work of a political
nature now occupying the attention of
the junta consists in preparations to
call a convention and to proceed with
the election of members of the house
of representatives, etc. Efforts are
being made to hold the convention
Feb. 3, three months after the dec
laration of the independence of Pan
ama. Pederico Boyd, who recently
went to the United States as a mem
ber of the special Panama commis
sion, has resumed his place on the
junta, Senor Bspinona, who was tem
porarily appointed a member of the
junta, retiring.
NOT REGARDED AS HOPELESS.
Colombians Believe Loss of Panama
Only Temporary.
Colon, Dec. 12.The French steam
er Fournel arrived here during the
day from Savanilla and Cartagena.
She was the first vessel to reach this
port since the decree closing those
ports to vessels to and from Colon
was canceled. The Fournel brought
passengers and malls. The authori
ties of the department of Bolivar are
still unreconciled to the loss of the
Isthmus, which they do not regard as
hopeless as they issued clearance pa
pers not for tne republic of Panama
but for "Colon, departmento de Pan
ama^ _^
The Fournel's agent has received no
confirmation of the movements of
Colombian troops on the Atrato river,
but the passengers of the Fournel in
formed the correspondent of the As
sociated Press that the rumor was cur
rent at Cartagena that the cruiser Car
tagena about ten days ago embarked
at night over a thousand troops bound
for the gulf of Darien with the object
of constructing a road to Cauca. The
name of the commander of the expe
dition and t*ie faculties for carrying
out his purpose are not known, but
his task is regarded at Cartagena as
being hopelessly impossible and des
tined to certain failure owing to the
countless difficulties.
GLASS HEARS THE RUMOR.
Admiral Reports Landing of Colom
bians Near Panama Border.
Washington, Dec. 12. Secretary
Moody has received a cablegram from
Rear Admiral frlass saying a rumor
has reached Panama that a small body
of Colombian troops has landed on
Oolombian territory near the Panama
boundary with a view to marching
overland to the isthmus.
Rear Admiral Glass has been un
able to confirm tt.e rumor.

BENNETT
WILL \jAbh
Continued From Page 1.
vna. to copy a considerMe portion ot
another paper, the salt' copy to be ad
dressed to Mrs. Bennett. The papers
referred to are the sealed letter by
which Mr. Bryan and family were to
be given $50,000 by consent of Mrs.
Bennett, and a letter similar in pur
pose which Mr. Bryan produced in
court.
The appeal says it was then the In
tention of Mr. Bryan and his wife that
only the sealed letter addressed to
Mrs. Eennett was to be brought to her
knowledge "and that was for the pur
pose of inducing her to permit Will
iam J. Bryan to get the $50,000."
It is also declared to have been the
intention of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
Not to Make Public
the other paper addressed to Mr. Bry
an as "My j.ea Mr. Bryan," or to
have it brought to the knowledge of
Mrs. Eennett. The document continues:
"The writing.addressed to this ap
pellant, the wife of Mr. Bennett, did
not state the real and true arrange
ment which Mr. and Mrs. Bryan had
induced Mr. Bennett to enter into with
them. The fact that the children of
Mi. and Mrs. Bryan are to receive
$1G,000 of Mr. Bennett's money was
not stated, but, on the contrary, the
writing addressed to the widow ex
pressly stated that if William J. Bryan
for any reason is unwilling to receive
that sum for himself that he shall
distribute the $50,000 among educa
tional and charitable institutions,
while in truth and in fact and in law,
the letter addressed to Mr. Bryan con
stituted him a trustee for his wife and
children and the sum of $50,000, if re
ceived by Mr. Bryan, would belong to
his wife and children, all of which
Mr. Bryan and his wife well knew."
The several clauses to which objec
tion is taken and the sealed letter and
the letter to Mr. Bryan are declared
to have been prepared at Lincoln,
Neb., by Mr. Bryan and his wife, with
out the knowledge of Mrs. Bennett
and without the knowledge or pres
ence of any of Mr. Bennett's family
or business associates.
Allegations of undue influence are
made concerning all the clauses ap
pealed from.
SAYS MR. FAIR DIED FIRST.
Witness in Will Contest on
the Stand.
Paris, Dec. 12.Dr. Perriquet, con
sidered the leading witness in the Fair
will case, testified during the day be
fore Commissioner Eiser of New York.
He said he arrived on the scene an
hour after the automobile accident
and found both Charles L. Fair and
his wife dead. The body of Mr. Fair
was already rigid, but that of his wife
was not rigid, indicating that the for
mer died float. From the condition of
Mr. Fair's body the witness believed
his death was instantaneous. The
condition of Mrs. Fair's body indicated
that her death was not instantaneous.
Dr. Perriquet recited the case of a
woman who was murdered near the
scene of the accident. Her wounds,
which were in the head, were almost
identical with those of Mrs. Fair, the
victim living for many hours.
The witness further testified that
while he was unable to swear posi
tively whether Mr. Fair or Mrs. Fair
died first, yet his positive opinion was
that Mrs. Fair must have survived her
husband.
