COLD COMFORT
FOR COLOMBIA
No Sympathy or Aid Will Be Given
by the Powers.
PANAMA ACTION INDORSED
Matter of Secession and General Recog
nition of New Republic Not a
Matter for The Hague.
“Refusal by the United States to
consent to a proposition from Colom
bia for a reference of the Panama
question to The Hague tribunal is ex
pected and will be fully approved by
the European powers.’’
This statement was made to a rep
resentative of the Associated Press at
Washington Tuesday nighl by an Eu
ropean ambassador of Sigh rank and
influence. It has already been made
in substance, though in rather more
diplomatic language, by the Colombian
minister, who is expected in his forth
coming note to suggest reference to
The Hague for the settlement of the
isthmus problem. Whether the knowl
edge that the refusal of such a request
so far from prejudicing the European
powers against the Washington gov
ernment will call for their emphatic
indorsement, will cause General Reyea
to modify u*s note is not yet certain.
Attitude of Europe.
The ambassador quoted, in explain
ing the attitude of European powers
said:
“Panama is a closed chapter, and
The Hague court is not the place for
settled questions, but tor pending
problems which are referred to it with
the full approval of all parties inter
ested. When Russia, Germany and
France recognized the independence
of Panama, they set their seal of ap
proval on the prompt action of the
Washington government. Nations can
hardly be expected to settle questions
of sovereignty or of national honor at
The Hague. Moreover, in my opinion
tt would not be within the province
of the Washington government to
grant such a request from Colombia.
It is to Panama, not to Washington,
that Colombia should take such a prop
osition.
“There is a question between Co
lombia and Panama which, with all
propriety might be referred to The
Hague, and to which reference the
United States will scarcely oner objec
tion. It is the question of the assump
tion of Panama of a part of the Colom
bian debt.
“If General Reyes should ask the
United States to use its good offices
to have this matter brought before
The Hague, Panama might safely ac
quiesce in such action. The difficulty
In making this request would be that
Colombia thereby would recognize the
Independence of the new republic, but
this must come sooner or later.”
At the navy department the state
ment is made that the intsructions' to
th© naval commanders in isthmian wa
ters to “prevent the landing of forces
with hostile Intent,” have not been
modified. These instructions, it is be
lieved, are sufficiently comprehensive
to enable the commanders to main
tain open transit across the isthmus
and to protect the new republic from
Colombia expeditions.
If Reyes Fails There’ll be War...
Patriotic meetings are being held in
Bogota nightly, says a belated dispatch
from that city, at which contingents of
men and sums of money are offered
to the government. Even the women
demand to be enlisted for the purpose
of subduing the separatists.
The government only awaits news
from General Reyes, and if that news
is to the effect that nothing can he ac
complished by diplomatic means, then
the authorities will continue to send
troops toward the isthmus.
The government and people hope
that the United States congress will
avoid a conflict, and they rely upon
the fairness of the American press.
FATHER SLAYS CHILDREN AND SELF.
Despondent Over Inability to Buy Gifts Phil
lips Sought Death.
Brooding over his inability to pur
chase suitable Christmas gifts for his'
three motherless children, Joseph
Phillips, a Hollowville, N. Y.. farmer,
murdered the three children and then,
hanged himself in a neighbor’s barn.
Phillips had complained lacely of his
poverty, and it is believed his mipd
I became unsettled. With ax in hand

CLYDE LINER RAMMED.
Steamship Kiowa Sent to Bottom in
Boston Harbor in Collision With
Steamer Admiral Dewey.
In a blinding storm which swept Bos
ton harbor Saturday afternoon, the
new Clyde Line steamer Kiowa, in
w>ai'd bound from Jacksonville, Fla.,
and Charleston, S. C., was rammed and
sunk by the steamer Admiral Dewey,
of the United States Fruit Company,
outwerd bound for Port Antonio, Ja
maica, and Port Llmon, Oosta Rica.
Captain Chichester and the entire
crew of the Kiowa, thirty men,
were rescued by a tug. The Admiral
Dewey sustained practically no dam
age, and after laying to for the pur
pose of rendering possible assistance,
she proceeded on her voyage.
With several passengers and a big
general freight cargo, the Admiral
Dewey sailed from the city shortly af
ter 12 o’clock. Owing to the driving
snow storm the Dewey was making her
way out at slow speed. A’ few miles
beyond Boston Light, tne Kiowa ap
peared through the clouds of mist and
snow, directly ahead. Before the
course could be shifted the steamers
collided. The Admiral Dewey struck
the Kiowa a terrible blow on the port
sharp prow of the fruiter cutting In
sharp prow of the fruiter cuttisg in
for a considerable distance.
The damaged craft immediately be
gan to fill. A tug which wus passing,
ran alongside the Kiowa and took oft
her catptain and crew. This was a
most difficult task, owing to the heavy
sea, and In attempting to jump from
their own vessel to the tug some of
the Kiowa's men fell into tne water.
They were rescued, however. The
Kiowa sank shortly after tne accident.
She had a big cargo or lumber, cotton,
naval stores, iron and general mer
chandise.
The Kiowa lies on an even keel,
with her masts and top of her smoke
stacks projecting above t-he water.
Her decks are covered by eleven feet
of' water at low tide, and great diffi
culty will be experienced in lifting her.
The Kiowa was the latest addition,
to the Clyde fleet, having been built
at Philadelphia early in the present
year. She had was \ steel, two-masted
three-decked vessel, 300 feet long, with
22 feet depth of hold; net tonnage
2,254 tons and gross tonnage 2,949.
New England Storm-Bw*pt.
After one of the mildest Christmas
days for many years, a wild winter’s
storm broke over New England Satur
day, and, as usual, wag accountable for
a number of marine disasters
Up to 7 o’clock three wrecks had
been reportod, while several other
vessels had been In distress during the
day. One of the wrecks, a dredger,
which sunk within six mile* of the
wharves of Boston, resulted in the loss
of three men; but in the case of the
pther two, the sinking of the atecvner
Kiowa, off Boston light, and the wreck
of the bargo John W. Mackoy, off
Watch Hill, R. 1., everyone was saved.
,The storm center passed over norcn
ern New England during the forenoon
and the snowfall throughout that sec
tion was heavy, especially in Maine
and New Hampshire, while wind ve
locities reached more than fifty m,iles
an hour were reported from some
points.
HIGH CHIIRCIMEN ADEPT ROBBERS.
Depositors Lose Out in Bank Operated by
a. Preists, Prelates and Deacons. ’
Advices from Prague, capital of ow
hernia, state that the St. Wenzel £* Atii
ings bank, now in the bankrup«.y
eourt, will probably pay no more than
5 per cent to its depositors, and the
papers are loud in advising people not
to mix “religion and business.” The
St. Wenzel bans was presided over by
Monsignor Drozd, while abbots, pre
lates, deacons and other high ecclesi
astics were on the board of directors.
The trial of these gentlemen shows
that $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 were stol
en during the last twenty-five years
without anybody in authority notic
ing it.
The directors admit that their bank
Statements were a compound of lies
for twenty or more years, and that the
thieving cashiers and tellers regarded
every deposit as a “clean profit.”
