MMM* GOVERNMENT HELPLESS
HER ATTITUDE TOWARD THE
NEW REPUBLIC BECOMES
OF NO IMPORTANCE.
Washington, Nov. 7.—The United
States government has recognized the
de facto government of Panama and
Instructions have been sent to Unit
ed States Minister Beaupre, at Bogota,
and to Mr. Khrman, the United States
vice consul at Panama and now ac t
ing consul there, to inform the govern
ments of Colombia and Panama, re
spectively, that the de facto govern
ment is recognized.
The decision to recognize the de
facto government of Panama was ar
rived at after a protracted session of
the cabinet at which every member
was present except Secretaries Root
and Wilson. No other subject was con
sidered. The president emphasized
the importance of the recognition of
the de facto government.
The events of the day as developed
here as to the situation on the isth
mus were the receipt of dispatches
from Commander Hubbard of the
Nashville, the arrival in Washington
of Consul General Gudger of Panama,
the issue of orders to Admiral Cogh
lan to proceed forthwith to the isth
mus with the consul general, and the
business recognition by the United
States of the de facto government of
the new republic, which will later be
fully recognized politically.
Revolutionists in Control.
Commander. Hubbard cabled that
the Colombian government troops un
der Generals Torres and Tovar, 450
Strong, at Colon, had departed on a
merchant vessel. He stated that the
Isthmus from one side to the other
mas in the hands of the revolutionists.
This statement is of the greatest im
portance. The United States govern
ment being bound by treaty to main
lain order and preserve free traffic
tu-ross the isthmus is now under the
obligation to prevent any hostile col
lisions either along the line of the
Panama railway or at the termini,
J'anama and Colon. Thus the future
latitude of the Colombian government
toward the new republic of Panama
becomes of little importance, for it is
practically impossible for it to go to
fvar with Panama.
So for practical purposes the sep
aration of Panama from Colombia is
complete and is likely to be per
manent according to the official belief
here.
OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION SENT.
Instructions for Representative* at
Bogota and Panama.
Washington. Nov. 7.--The following
telegram was sent by the state depart
ment during the day to Mr. Ehrman,
the acting consul general of the Unit
ed States at Panama:
"The people of Panama have, by an
apparently unanimous movement, dis
solved their political relations with
the republic of Colombia and assumed
their independence. When you are
Satisfied that a de facto government,
republican in form and without sub
stantial opposition from its own peo
ple. has been established in the state
of Panama you will enter Into rela
tions with it as the responsible gov
ernment of the territory and look to it
for all due action to protect the per
sons and property of all citizens of
the United States and to keep open the
Isthmian transit in accordance with
the obligations of existing treaties
governing the relations of the United
States to that territory."
.•* Message to Minister Beaupre.
Immediately afterward an instrtus
fajf Just to
V
W
Beaupre, the United States minister
at Bogota, in the following terms:
"The people of Panama, having by
Mi apparently unanimous movement,
dissolved their political connection
with the republic of Colombia and re
sumed their independence and having
adopted a government of their own,
repuMiean in form, with which the
government of the United States of
America has entered into relations,
Ihe president of the United States, in
accordance with the ties of friendship
which have so long and so happily
rxisted between the respective na
tions, most earnestly commends to
the governments 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 obliga
tions but by the interests of civiliza
tion to see that the peaceful traffic of
Hie world across the isthmus of Pan
ama shall not longer be disturbed by
a constant succession of unnecessary
ind wasteful civil wars."
GUDGER SAILS SUNDAY.
Soflsul General at Panama Receives
Final Instructions.
Washington, Nov. 7.—Consul Gen
eeral Gudger has arrived in Washing
ton from Asheville, N. C., and received
instructions preliminary to his de
parture Sunday for the isthmus of
i'iinama.
Rear Admiral Coghlan has
received orders to convey the consul
feneral to the isthmus on the convert

trom the navyyard here Sunday for
Colon at full speed.
COLOMBIANS DEPART
NEW GOVERNMENT IN COMPLETE
CONTROL OF PANAMA.
General Satisfaction Is Expressed
Throughout the Isthmus for the
New Order of Things.
Colon, Colombia, Nov. 7.—The gov
ernment of the republic of Panama
has appointed Senor Porforio Melen
dez civil and military governor of
Colon pending the appointment of
new officials. Those of the old gov
ernment have been impotent since the
troops left. The prefect, Senor Cuad
ros, and the alcalde, Senor Guerrevo,
are now nonentites. They have not
been arrested.
Governor Melendet has notified the
officials that they may remain at
their posts for the present if they
swear allegiance to the new republic.
He has also notified the steamship
agents
that Colombian ports on the
Atlantic are closed to all arrivals.
This refers only to their non-accept
ance of troops from coast ports.
A steam launch has been dispatched
to capture Bocas del Torro in the in
terest of the new republic. No diffi
culties are anticipated there.
The new republic doubtless is firm
ly established. There are no Colom
bian troops on the isthmus and satis
faction is everywhere expressed at
the new order of things.
The American employes of the rail
road and others have been armed with
rifles and revolvers supplied by the
United States cruiser Nashville. To
gether with the latter men the volun
teers presented a bold front Wednes
day and Thursday afternoons to the
Colombians who were threatening the
lives of Americans.
SITUATION 18 QUIET.
Colombian Government Troops Evac
uate Colon.
Washington. Nov. 7. The navy de
partment has received a cablegram
from Commander Delano of the Dixie
announcing his arrival at Colon.
The cablegram states that the Co
lombian troops have evacuated and
that the situation is quiet.
Commander Delano cables that he
has landed an adequate force of ma
rines from the Dixie and that the blue
jackets landed from the Nashville
had re-embarked. The Dixie carries
400 marines.
PROCEEDING AT FULL 8PEED.
Part of the Pacific Squadron Sails for
Panama.
Washington, Nov. 7.—The navy de
partment has received a cablegram
from Rear Admiral Glass, command
ing the Pacific -squadron, announcing
the departure of the Marblehead, Con
cord and Wyoming and the collier
Nro, at Acapulco, Alex., for Panama.
The squadron is proceeding at full
speed.
United States Held Responsible.
New York. Nov. 7.—The newspapers
here say little regarding the Panama
revolution, cables the Herald's Val
paraiso (Chile) correspondent. The
belief is general, however, that the
movement was the work of the Unit
ed States.
MOROS ARE FRIENDLY.
Troublesome Filipinos Greet Mafor
General Wood.
Manila, Nov. 7.—Major General
Wood reports that during his recent
trip to Lake Lanao the hitherto hostile
Moros of that country came in to meet
him in a very friendly spirit. He will
next visit Jolo, where there has beea
trouble recently through some Moros
attacking and wounding two American
soldiers.
Governor Taft has just denied the
protest of the foreign consuls against
the action of customs officials in sup
plying importers with samples of
goods shipped to the St. Louis ex
position.
MONTANA MINE HORftOR
HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE FEARED
*S RESULT OF FIRE AT
VIRGINIA CITY.
DEATH LIST NW YET FULLY KNOWN
SEVEN BODIES HAVE BEEN RE
COVERED AND MANY MEN
ARE MISSING.
FINANCIAL DAMAGE WILL 8E IMMENSE
MINE WAS OWNED BY SENATOR
MILLARD AND VALUED AT
ABOUT $1,000,000.
Virginia City, Mont., Nov. 7.—Seven
are dead, a number more burned and
perhaps three score lost in the under
ground workings in a fire which start
ed in the Kearsarge mine, situated nt
Summit, eight miles from here, dur
ing the morning. The known dead are
Superintendent R. B. Turner, a miner
named Tobin and five other miners,
too badly burned to be identified.
These seven bodies have been recov
ered From fifty to seventy-five men
are still down in the mine and may
have perished from flame or moke.
The plant employed 200 men. It Is
the property of United States Senator
Millard of Nebraska and was valued at
about $1,000,000. There is no way to
estimate the loss at present.
The fire, which started as the shifts
were being changed, still rages fierce
ly and the rescuers, hundreds of whom
have gone from Virginia City, will be
hampered, as there is no apparatus at
the mine. It is not known how the
fire started.
Gave His Life for His Men.
Superintendent Turner gave his life
for his men. He was at breakfast and
partially dressed when the alarm
came. Dashing into the house in his
shirt sleeves, with another miner
whose name has not been learned,
Turner made his way into the main
tunnel. Here they found every thin?:
abla/e. They groped their way down
and dragged out five bodies, including
Tobin's. In a second attempt they
did not come out and were later
brought forth dead by the rescuers.
Turner was acknowledged as the
leading authority on cyaniding in
America.
The mine is eight miles from Vir
ginia City and communication by tele
phone is difficult.
The shafthouse, cyaniding plant and
tunnel are a total loss.
The total number of dead may not
be known for some time and the bod
ies, all but those of Tobifi and Turner,
are too badly burned to be identified.
TRACTION ENGINE EXPLODES.
One Man Killed and Seven Injured,
One Fatally.
Columbus, O., Nov. 7.—While stu
dents of the agricultural college ai
the Ohio state university were witness
ing the harvesting of a field of corn
for ensilage purposes by a machine,
operated by an old traction engine, the
boiler exploded, pieces of iron tear
ing through the crowd of students,
killing Engineer Charles Pepper and
injuring seven persons, one. Assistant
Engineer John Delgam, fatally. The
injured include Professor Vernon II.
Davis, who had his hand mangled, and
several students. The force of the
explosion was terrific. Pieces of iron
were hurled through the air and blew
a great hole in a barn over a hundred
yards away.
MARCHING ON SAN DOMINGO.
Insurgents Will Attack the Capita!
City.
Washington, Nov. 7.—A cablegram
has just been received at the state de
partment from United States Minis
ter Powell, dated at San Domingo city,
stating that the insurgents are march
ing on that city and asking that a
warship be at once sent there. The
cruiser Baltimore, which sailed from
Hampton Roads several days ago, is
now due at San Domingo and the
state department believes that IMW
presence there will be sufficient.
TWENTY KILLED OR WOUNDED.
Result of Fight Between Brazilians
and Uruguayans.
New York. Nov. 7.—The latest re
ports received here, cables the Her
ald's Montevideo correspondent, are
to the effect that about twenty per
sons' were killed or wounded in the
battle at Riviera between the Uru
guayan police and Brazilians.
The government has suspended Ata«
liava Gomez, the mayor of Santa Ana,
whose demand for the surrender of
his brother by the authoiitiea of
Riviera caused the disturbance.

Herald's London correspondent, in
tends to make the place his residence
