AN INSULT BY TURKEY
Refusal to Grant Exequatur
to American Consul.
VIOLATION OF TREATY RIGHTS
Request KeJrU4 on the Ground That
Harpoot Is Mot a Commtr-
lml rolns.
Constantinople, Nov. 36. The porte
has definitely rejected the request tor
an exequatur for a United States con
sul at Harpoot. This refusal is regard
ed by the United States legation as a
direct violation of the treaty rights,
and, consequently, despite the refusal,
Thomas H. Norton, who was appointed
by President MoKinley some time ago
to establish a consulate at Harpoot,
has been directed to proceed to his
post. The expected visit of the battle
ship Kentucky to Smyrna is believed to
relate quite as much to this matter as
to the indemnity question.

sult that the losses of the former were
heavy. The fighting was proceeding

The stores and , restaurants at Colon
were closed and the rubels held a por
tion of the railroad line. ' Another
rebel force w.as reported to be engaging
the government troops near Panama.
Business is entirely suspended at the
latter place, and both Panama and Co
lon are in a state of terror. The rebels
are attacking in a determined manner,
and it Is feared the slaughter will be
great before - decisive results are
reached. The liberals, it is asserted
by the passengers of the steamer, still
bold Buena Yeutura, though the Co
lombian government is making great
effort to regain possession of it.
Floods In Southern California.

tinues the town will be swamped. The
Catholio cemetery was reaohed last

Fran
Colorado Fpilngs, Nov. 30. The -city

pearance after ye.terday's storm. The
damage will approximate $300,000 and ,
is dae entirely to destruction by the
wind, all reports )f serious fire losses
being unfonnded. There were 10 alarms
of fire in 10 hours, but no serious fires
occurred. Incandescent lights are
Dtiruing tonight, but the streets are
still dark. Light wires and telegraph
wires are still strewn across the trolley
wires in many places and the street
raiway trafflo will not be resumed un
til some time tomorrow. About 600
houses and business blocks are damaged
nnd 150 trees uprooted.
No lives were lost in the storm, and
Colonel E. T. Ensign, who was struck
by a telegraph pole and suffered a
broken leg, baa the most serious in-
ury.
The storm was not attended by rain
or snow. Tne gale came direct irora
Pike's Peak, which is west of the city,
and it blew from 1 P. M. to 2 A. M.
At 2:30 P. M., when the wind gauge

center oi the city, had roofs torn off or
were badly damaged and wreokage
blookades the principal streets. Plate
glass windows all over the oity are

will amount to many thousands of dol
lars. From outlying sections of the
city reports have come of destruction
of many small dwelling houses. In
Ivy Wild,' a suburb, Smith's green
houses were blown down and burned.
There were about a dozen alarms of fire
during the day and night. Firemen
did valiant service fand prevented the
spread of the flames. Mayor Robin
son is commended on all sides for bis
prompt action in organizing a commit
tee of safety. Major Shapcott was
placed in charge and he at once organ
ised a foroe to patrol the streets and
insructions were positive to show no
mercy to anybody starting a fire in the
streets.
