Washington, Nov. 20. The coutlrmn
tliii) of tliu reported capture of Colon
ly tliu .'ilonililiin Liberals ciiuki'iI :i de
cided (.oiniiiotioii in tin' state mill navy
departments today. There wore long
conferences between Secretary Long
and Admiral frownlnshleld, mill bo
twci'ti tho admiral and Anting Secretary
of State Dr. Illll. Later, tin; two last
named wont over to the while house
mid saw President Roosevelt. This was
llio lirst tlini- Hliii'ij 1SS3, when Admiral
.louett openi'il nit transit across the
isthiTius of r.inama, that conimtmioa
1 ion liad actually been stopped In such
fashion as to seem to require the Inter
ference of the I'nlted states naval
forces.
The lirst news of the trouble al t'olou
eaino from United States Consul tien
vral (lU'lser at Panama. lie tele
graphed tlie state department that a
considerable number of Liberals had
taken xiassago on the railroad tho did
lot Indicate where) and arriving at a
certain iioint had cut the telegraph
wires and taken up a rail, thus break
ing communication.
Later there cat no a second messiiRo
from Consul tioncrnl (Judger announc
intt that Colon had been taken. This
was confirmed more explicitly by Cull
ed States Consul Malmros, stationed at
Colon. The latter otlieial said that
Colon was taken by the rebels last
.light. While nil business is suspended,
Transit is not interrupted and American
life and property are safe anil not
likely to be in danger.
TiilMm altogether, these dispatches
were regarded by the ollieiuls hero as
indicating a lack of purpose, on the
part of the Liberals to Interfere with
transit across the isthmus. It was felt
that tho brief interruption caused by
the taking uji of tin; rail and the cut
ting of the telegraph wires was nothing
more than a temporary device to pre
vent the government from hurrying re
inforcements by rail to Colon. Tlie olll
cials Hurt support for this belief In tho
fact that communication was reopened
across the isthmus tlie jmomont Colon
was captured.
The Isthmus to Be Protected.
Still, as a result of the consultation
today it was lesolved to take no
elainces of an infringement of the trea
ty rights of the United Stale. There
foie Secretary Hill cabled Consul tion--ra!
Giidcer, a director, to notify all
Hurtles who are engaged in molesting
or interfering with free transit across
Iho isthmus that such interference
must cease, lie was also directed to
..onsult freely with Captain Perry, the
"onimandcr of tho United States battle
ship Iowa, now lying at Panama. Then
Captain Perry was cabled by Secretary
Long to laud marines If necessary for
the protection of free transit across the
isthmus in accordance of the treaty
rights and obligations of the United
States. At the same time Captain
Terry was enjoined to avoid bloodshed
if possible, .Meanwhile news cunie th.it
Commander MiCrou of the Maehlus
which is now lying at Colon, had
anticipated this instruction from
Hie navy department by landing
it force of blue jackets at
Colon and occupying the railroad
htntion. The understanding at the
navy department was that tin- lauding
party I'onslsted of about one bundled
bailors who an; employed 111 lieu of
marines, of whom the Maehlus has an
inslgulllcaut force.
The test of Commander MeC'rea's

Senor Muskus, the district repiesentit

to reach the gunboat C.eneral I'luzon.
which sailed last night for a destina
tion unknown, presumably Cathagena,
This whole affair was over In less than
three hours.
Communication with Panama was re
stored today. This revealed that no
fighting had occurred there. Unit, ev
erything was unlet, and that the city
was still In the hands of the govern
ment. '
The issue now depends on the result
of the lighting which is doubtless now
occurring at Cliorrera, news of which
is anxiously awaited here.
The Liberals aro busy raising rein
forcements locally. They tire reported
to have several hundred men at differ
ent railroad stations between hero and
Panama.
The United States gunboat Mnchias
landed a dela.climent of marines hero
this morning. They are now guard
ing the railroad station and other
property of the road.
At a conference between Commander
McCrea. of the Machlas, United Stales
Consul Malmros, Colonel Shaler, super
intendent of the Panama railroad and
Colonel llarrorn, the commander of the
Liberals, the latter was informed why
the marines bad boon landed from tho
Machlas. Harrera promised to guard
the cltv with his troops.
Trains Will Run as Usual.
Trains will be crossing the isthmus
ns usual tomorrow. There has been
no obstruction of free transit so far.
The news of tho capturo of Colon,
which reached Panama when commun
ication with that city was restored this
morning was a great surprise to tho
inhabitants of that city.
Acocrdlng to the latest news received
here from Panama, nothing has yet
been heard in that city concerning the
outcome of Ceneral Alban's expedition
against the Liberal forces at Cliorrera.
It Is said that information of the re
rent happenings at Colon has been
sent to him.
In the meantime, the government
tioops at Panama, numbering about
aOo men. are busily engaged in the
construction of earthworks and barri
cades at the railroad bridge going into
! the city, in anticipation of an early
Libeial attack.
Colonel Shaler says that no request
has been made upon him for a special
train to convey government troops to
Colon tonight, if such a request is
made li will bn grunted, but Colonel
Shaler does not consider it likely. The
Liberals claim to" have at least iOO
men in possession of the different rail
road station on tho lino between here
and Panama. Those men would doubt
less do their utmost to prevent the
transportation of government troops
to this point.

Tollurlde, Colo., Nov. a). A lire oc
curred in the bullion tunnel belonging
to the Smuggler Union Mining com
pany, today, and probably thirty lives
were lost. Seventeen of tho bodies have
been recovered. The lire, which Is
known to have been accidental, started
early this morning in tho buildings at
the mouth of the tunnel. At this point
is located the tipper terminal of the
tramway to tho company's new mill at
Pandora, and It was in the bunk house
attached Unit the tiro started. From
this it spread to the terminal station,
which, with its ore bins, machinery and
supplies, Is a mass of ruins.
The day shift of 200 men hail entered
the initio and reached their stations
when the tire broke out.
Tho tunnel acted as a Hue, and a
great volume of smoke poured into and
tilled tho slopes.
About 170 of the men succeeded In
reaching safety by another exit. The
lire rapidly burned itself out, but the
, mine was so tilled with smoke that it
I was six hours before tho rescuing
parties could penetrate the slopes,
where the less fortunate were. Seven -I
teen dead have been removed from the
mine tonight. Tlie engineer, Hugh
O'Neill, was found alive, but is not ex
pected to recover. No list of dead is
obtainable at this time.
Later -Twenty-two bodies have now
