PANAMA. Colombia, July 26.-Not since
the days of the last revolution, when an
attack on the city by the liberals was
feared has there been such a panic In Pan
ama as occurred last night. Shortly after
the office of El Lapis, the organ of the
liberal party on the Isthmus, waa visited
by officers of the general staff of the
army, who destroyed yesterday'a edition of
the newspaper. One of the directors was
slightly wounded, but managed to escape.
As the newspaper office Is situated In a
populous district the news spread rapidly.
In the Santa Ana' neighborhood, where
moat of the liberal reside, sentiment rose
to a high pitch and a few of the people
counseled retaliation. They took no ac
tion, however.
The neat event came like a bombshell.
A company of soldiers, apparently under
the orders of General Vasuue Cobos, com
mander of the national forces, surrounded
the residence of Governor Mutls, but the
governor and his wife, who Is an American,
having been warned a few minutes before
the arrival of the troops, succeeded In es
caping. General Huertas, commander of
the Battalion of Colombia, when he learned
of the El Lapis inciuent, repaired to head
quarters, where he found General Cobos.
According to current reports the latter or
dered him to remain in quarters.
Civil Authorities Arrested.
Exactly what has taken place is un
known, but it isaid Dr. Arlstides Arjona,
secretary of the government; Fernando
Arango, chief of poilcc, and Eralm Navla.
a member of the uepartmental superior tri
bunal of Justice, are under arrest, the last
named for trying to argue with General
Cobos as to the illegality of his action.
An attempt also Is said to have been
made to arrest Senor Guerra, secretary
of tlnance, but he refused to accompany
the officer, who went to his house to arrest
him, and when the officer returned with
soldiers to effect his capture Guerra had
departed.
The only civil official on the street this
afternoon was Mayor Ossa. Governor
Mutls spent last night at tho British con
sulate, but it is reported that ha will move
to the American consulate.
United States Consul Gudger made sev
eral unsuccessful attempts today to secure
an audience with General Cobos, who Is a
brother of the minister of war. It is re
ported that General Cobos offered the gov
ernorship to different conservatives, who
refused to accept and that he himself will
assume civil command. It is said Consul
Oudger attempted to send a cable to Arthur
M. Beaupre, the United States minister at
Bogota, but that the agent refused to ac
cept the message, clalmfhg that the lines
were Interrupted In spite of the fact that
it Is known that press messages were ac
cepted this morning.
It I thought that perhaps order to re
fuse message to Bogota have been issued
to the cable company by the military au
thorities. A this dispatch Is being sent
It la learned that Dr. Arjona and Judge
Navla hay been set at liberty, and that
the chief of police, Arango, remains under
arrest.,-'.- ... '..
Goveraor Virtual Prisoner.
There was little excitement on the atreet
today the Colombian battalion attending
church In a body as usual, but the con
dition of affair is serious. Governor Mutls
Is practically a prisoner.
Undoubtedly General Cobos later In the
day will Issue a proclamation, giving the
reasons for Ms action, which up to this time
are unknown. The national government In
certain quarter la being held responsible
for much of what haa happened because the
soldiers have not been paid for some time
and Governor Mutls declined to give mora
of the funds of the province for this pur
pose, arguing that the central government
owes the department over 12.000,000 besides
having obliged the governor by degree to
pay the salaries of all civil employes.
Violent articles written In El Lepla
against what the liberals call the assassin
ation ' of General 'VIctorlano Lorena, the
leader of the guerilla during the recent
revolution, who waa court martlaled and
hot on May 16, precipitated event. The
effect of what I now going on upon the
Colombian congress It ta said will be favor
able to the canal treaty, for the enemies of
the treaty will easily be convinced pf the
necessity of certain clauses It contain in
regard to the control of thia sone. Cable
communication with Bogota has bean re
stored.
General Cobos tonight admitted that dif
ferences had arisen with Governor Mutls
because of the latter' refusal to pay the
soldiers who, he said, were hungry. He
aid Governor Mutls had systematically
opposed everything ' emanating from the
military authorities but denied thai he In
tended to arrest the governor.'
He said:
I was axleeD when I found the editors
of El Lapis had been attacked by some
officers. I ordered seventy men out to
nunlsh the offenders. Passing' the sov-
emor's house, I went up stairs to Inform
him of what had happened because of his
leniency toward the liberals, who rally In
suit the military authorities. Governor
Mutls sent word that he was out. which
being untrue, I concluded ha had refused
to see me. It waa far from my mind -to
arrest the governor, who had no reason to
side against ma. I am anxious to end the
trouble which was really created by Gov
ernor Mutls himself. I have tried to see
him three times this momma without suo
cess. I will thank you to make public my
statement.
General Cobos' statement waa transmit
ted to Governor Mutls this afternoon by
the American consul. Later the governor
went to the government palace accom
panied by numerous friends. H says yes
terday he communicated to General Cobos
a decree from Bogota suspending the gen
eral staff here. General Huertas, he said,
Ignored It yesterday, but today offered to
protect the civil authorities. . ..

Looking; Toward Gonnaa.
Democrats hereabouts are commencing to
regard Arthur Pu Gorman aa the most
available candidate for the presidency.
His friends are quietly active in hi be
half and should Bt. Louis be chosen as
the place In which to hold the next dem
ocrats convention the prestige which Sen
ator Qorman would receive thereby would
be of Incalculable benefit to him. Judge
Parker of New York, whose recent visit
to the south was such a frost. Is thought
to be wholly out of the running even by
hi warmest friends. Those who are fa
miliar with the characteristic of Judge
Parker are giving much thought to hi In
dividuality today and more than one of
them are beginning to believe that be
I not the type of man who could arouse
nthulam enough to make any showing
against Mr. Roosevelt. A democratic pol
itician who wa recently In Washington
sntd, speaking to a number of his friends,
"Some people say former Senator Hill I
cold, but . he -Is not a marker to Judge
Parker,' who ) a perfect human icicle.
Judge Parker. does all In his power to be
genial and pleasant, but It Is useless. He
Is simply one of those cold. Intellectual
men who have no more personal magnet
ism that a man made of snow. He Is a
fine Jurist, and the belief Is growing that
he le now Just where he belong on th
bench. In view of the fact that Mr.
Cleveland la wholly out of consideration,
according to my mind, I think th best
thing for th democrats would be to get
together for Arthur Pu Gorman. He
ha always supported th ticket, and I
think would be satisfactory to both wings
of the democracy. Certainly he would be
satisfactory to the conservative democracy
of the east."
Welcome the Adveats.
The coming of the Seventh Day Ad
ventlst to Washington ia one of th most
Interesting events of the year, they hav
Ing purchased a large tract of land In
Takoma Park for the purpose of estab
lishing a branch of their Battle Creek
sanitarium on tha property Just purchased.
Wherever they have established their
branches .and taken up the work they
have prospered. It is understood that the
Beet, which I very rapidly growing, will
begin at once to build a sanitarium on the
fifty acres Just acquired and college for
famllle of the order who will come to
Washington from Battle Creek. The alte
chosen Is one of the most advantageous In
or about th capital city. It overlooks the
city and the valley of the Potomac and Is
Ideal for the purpose Intended.
Tebaeco Growing; la Philippines
Prof. Clarence , W. Dorsey, soil phy-
sloUt, connected with th Philippine bureau

structlons to growers as to the best meth
od of cultivating, harvesting and curing
the crop.
Philippine tobacco has long been held
In high esteem In the Orient, and Manila
cigars maintain the same rank In the east
ern countries that Havana cigars occupy In
Europe and America. Today tobacco stands
third among the export from the Philip
pine. Tobacco was Introduced Into the Philip
pine soon after the Spaniards took pos
session, seed having been brought from
Mexico by missionaries. Little effort was
made by the government to restrict or en
courage the cultivation of tobacco until
1781. when It became a state monopoly.
While the monopoly waa In force each
family In the tobacco districts of Luson
was compelled to grow 4,000 plant and de
liver the entire crop to the agent of th
government. None of the crop waa re
served for the use of the planter and a fine
was Imposed when the crop waa short.
After harvest the leaves were selected and
bought by government agents, and bundles
of Inferior leaves were rejected and burned.
Native houses were searched for concealed
tobacco and fines and penaltlea Imposed
on those who failed to comply with the
law.
The profits from the monopoly, finally
abolished December 31, 1882, annually
i amounted to several million pesos.
Since that time the cultivation and man
ufacture of the crop ha been In ths hands
of private Individuals and companies. At
the present time the greaier part of the to
bacco grown In the Islands comes from
Luson. The product of Isabella nnd Caga
yan province are the most highly es
teemed, while considerable quantities are
produced in Union and the Ilocos prov
inces, on the west coast of northern Lu
son. Nueva Eclja formerly raised a fair
grade of tobacco, but the cultivation has
fallen off In late years. Tobacco la grown
In small quantities in the Vlsayan and
southern islands, the greater amount
probably being produced In Maabate, Ta
bles, Panay, Bohol, Leyte, Slquljor, Ne
gro and Mindanao,
Spala Take Moat.
Philippine tobacco Is nearly all utilised
In the manufacture of cigars and cigar
ettes, and finds a ready sale In Spain
(which consumes more than one-halt of the j
total production), England. Hongkong
(where It Is shipped to Astatic porta), and
British East India. During the year 1900
these countries bought more than seven
tenths of the entire crop. The agreeable
aroma and -flavor of the better grade of
tobacco grown In the islands have won for
It a high place among the fine cigar to
baccos of the world, and, for a long time,
it ranked next to the celebrated Cuban to
bacco. When we consider the desirable
qualities of Philippine tobacco, with the
imperfect cultivation, curing and fermen
tation It receives, and the Improvements
and advances that have been made in
other tobacco countries, It becomes at once
evident that every care and attention
should be given the crop to enable It to re
gain Its former position, If not to make It
superior to the finest tobacco grown in the
world.
The markets of the United States offer
every inducement for the Improvement ana i
spread of the Philippine tobacco Industry. I
This becomes all the more evident when we
consider the vast sum of money annually
expended by the United States for foreign
tobacco. During the year ended June 30,
1900, the United States paid for Cuban to-
bacco $7,615,991, and KW9.271 for Sumatra I
tobacco. During this same year the Phil- j
Ipplnes exported to the United State only '
a few hundred of dollars worth of tobacco,
or lea than one-hundredth of on per cent
of the tobacco importations of this country.
While It may be true that Philippine to
bacco may never entirely supplant Cuban
and Sumatra tobacco in the United States,
there I certainly every Inducement to en
courage and Improve the Industry until
modern cultural method have realised to
the fullest extent the highest perfection of
the crop.
The author believes that the islands can
and should produce cigar filler tobacco that
is fully equal to the finest product of the
Vuclta Abajo district of Cuba, and a cigar
wrapper equal to Sumatra tobacco. With
careful attention to soil and cllmailo condi
tions It I believed district can be found
that will raise tobacco similar in flavor
and aroma to that grown In the beet dis
trict of Turkey. Philippine tobacco to
day does not occupy the position It should,
and every planter or company engaged In
its cultivation should strive to place It on
the high standard It deserves.
