VOL. V. NAY, SAYS UNCLE SAM Proposed Bombardment of City of Colon Will Not Be Allowed. OTA COBUNDER INSTRUCTED United States Government Hat For¬ mally Taken Charge of Isthmian Transit and Will Keep Railway Open. A Washington special says; It Is pretty well understood at the nation¬ al capital that there is to be no bom brrdment of Colon by either side. While Commander McCrea was given wide discretionary power and nothing was said to him about stopping the bombardment directly, nevertheless the state department established a pre¬ cedent in these matters last year when it instructed Mr. Gudger to warn some insurgents at Panama that they would not be allowed to bombard that port. If the government troops on the Pin zon should persist in their purpose, it is said that the commanders of the va¬ rious warships at Colon would require that ample time be allowed for the withdrawal from the town of all for¬ eigners, and the attacking force, to es cape restraint, would be obliged to dl rect its bombardment with such rare precision as to destfoy the Insurgent defenses without harming the railroad property, and even without endanger¬ ing the passage of trains, conditions probably not to be met. The secretary of the navy Monday cabled Captain Perry, of the Iowa, to assume full command of all the United Spates navai force* on both sides of the isthmus, is order to assure harmonious operations. Consul General Gudger’s last dis¬ patch, which came after 1 o'clock p. m., was about as follows: “Our troops have arrived at Match in, one-half of the way across the isth mus. No obstructions and Columbian government seemed to be victorious over*the insurgents." Uncle Sam Takes Charge. The United States government has taken charge of Isthmian transit. A dispatch received at the navy depart¬ ment from r ~ptaln Perry, of the battle ship Iowa, at Panama, reports that fact. Captain Perry says that General Alban has landed with a detachment of men from the Iowa and has started with a train to clear transit and also establish detachments of men to keep Jt so. Commander McCrea, of the Machias, at Colon, has cabled the navy depart raent notifying the department of the approaching bombardment of that town and asking for instructions. He has been Instructed to take such steps as he deems necessary for the protec¬ tion of American interests at Colon. While no specific statement is made as to the details of this instruction, it is understood that it leaves discretionary with Commander McCrea the preven tion of a bombardment. Mr. Herran, charge d’affaires of the Colombian legation, received the fol¬ lowing cablegram Monday morning: "Panama, November 25.—Colombian Minister, Washington: Rebel army completely defeated at Culebra and Emperador, Governor marched last night upon Colon. Traflic interrupted yesterday, but will be re-established today. ARJONA, “Acting Governor.” Colon Capture Confirmed. The state department has received confirmation of the reported defeat of the liberal troops by the Colombian government troops. This came in a cablegram from Consul General Gud¬ ger, at Panama, Monday afternoon, in which he says that the railroad is now unobstructed and that the government forces have been victorious over the revolutionists. He further reports that the blue jackets from the Machias have gone inland and now occupy a point midway of the isthmus. October Revenue Stamps. During October. 1901, internal reve nue receipts were $24,359,907, a de erease as compared with October, 1900, of $3,104,672. The decrease for the four months of the present fiscal year amounts to $8,460,058. AUDIENCE CHEERED FOR SCHLEY An Exciting Scene Occurs During Play In Theatre at Chicago. Much excitement was caused at the Cleveland theatre in Chicago Monday night when Aldrich Libbey was sing¬ ing a new ballad entitled “All Honor to Admiral Schley.” At the concluding lines of the chorus:— ‘Then off with your hats, And give him three cheers. All honor to Admiral Schley”— over half the audienee rose to its feet an d cheered vigorously. The singer was forced to respond to seven en¬ cores. Wayne County News. JESUP. GEORGIA. FRIDAY.

Twenty thousand persons assembled around the ruins of the temple of Ju¬ piter Olympus and took part in a de¬ monstration organized by tbe students. A resolution was passed calling on the holy synod to excommunicate any per¬ son who translated the gospels into Greek as now spoken. Eight hundred marines were landed and co-operated with the troops in patroling the local¬ ity. Several collisions occurred and occasionally shots were fired. The stu¬ dents still hold the university build¬ ings. During the demonstrations fol¬ lowing tbe assemblage several shots were fired at M. Theotokls, the Greek premier, but without effect. Great excitement is prevailing. Strong military detachments guard the palace and the residence of the pre¬ mier. Everywhere anxious groups are discussing the situation. Heartrending scenes occurred when the bodies of the dead were handed over to their relatives.

LIBERAL8 ARE WELL BEHAVED. Affairs In Colon Under New Regime Are Perfectly Quite. The city of Colon was perfectly quiet all Wednesday and Thursday. It Is claimed In behalf of the liberals that there has been no unseemly behavior. Foreigners are being respected and pro¬ tected and their transit across the isth¬ mus is uninterrupted. Colonel Barrera, commander of the liberal forces, asserts that he has no¬ tified the district representative of de¬ partment* of the interior and other former officials of the government that he has appointed a commission to for¬ mally take over their offices. METHODIST CONFERENCE ENDS. Next Meeting to Be Held In Atlanta. Notes and Incidents of the Meet¬ ing Just Closed at Rome. During the Monday morning's ses¬ sion of the North Georgia Methodist Conference an unusual incident oc curred while the characters of the min¬ isters were being passed upon. When the name of Rev. W. A. Mallory, of the Athens district, was called, a state¬ ment was made that Mr. Mallory had seriously impaired his usefulness by the practice of mesmerism. It would seem that Mr. Mallory is a hypnotist of no little ability, and simply used his powers in experiments. Some of his members thought he was practic¬ ing some strange form of sorcery, and it finally resulted in Mr. Mallory re¬ signing his charge. He asked to be lo¬ cated again. Rev. H. R. Davies, statistical secre¬ tary, made his report, which is con¬ densed into the following interesting facts and figures for the North Geor gia conference; Local preachers, 307; members, 99,- 486; Infants baptized, 1,108; adults baptized, 2,407; Epworth Leagues, 124; members leagues, 4.077; Sunday schools, 725; Sunday school teachers, 5,568; Sunday school scholars, 43 ,oj«; collected for widows and orphans, $15, 944; collected for missions, $53,247, an increase over $5,000; paid for support presiding elders, $19,392; of preachers in charge, $132,044; bishops, $2,916. Total collections for all purposes, $228,- 660. . There are 782 societies, 763 churches. Value of.churches, $1,003,282. Parson¬ ages, 181; value,''*267,655. During the year 3,963 were received into tho churoli on profession of faith and 9 r - 966 by certificate. Good increase in all collections. Dr. C. E. Dowman made a statement concerning Emory college and its needs. Jle said that a new science hall oij#*of the crying needs, and that | tain $15,000 Williams, (of of this Savannah, had o ■ed purpose on londifldn that $15,000 more would be raised. He said $7,000 had been secured. Bjphop Galloway arose and made, an. eloquerd. appeal and In half ei hour the conference had pledged it *' if to raise o*r“*|000 next year. Dr. Dowinan stated afterwards that he had no fear now but that the new science hall would be secured. The admission of a minister from the Florida conference with the North Georgia conference gives the body ex¬ actly the requisite number to have sev¬ en clerical and seven lay delegates to the general conference. As only six of each were elected, one more lay auu one more clerical are thus secured. Dr. C. W. Byrd Invited the confer ence to meet with the First church, Atlanta, next year. An invitation was also extended from Milledgevllle, but Atlanta won easily. The conference will meet in Trinity church, Atlanta, next year. The appointments of pastors to charges for 1902 were read out Monday night by Bishop Galloway. K FOUR GIRLS CREMATED. Horrible Catastrophe Results From Careless Use of Kerosene Oil.
