Sept. 11 The command ers of Cincinnati and Wisconsin w II be instructed to enforce our treaty s'.lpula tlon with Colombia itrlctly by preventing any Interference with traffic across th. la thmui, and also to prevent a bimtardment of Panama from thj aea on the ground thit thla. In tself. would constitute a menace to traffic. Neither Wisconsin nor Cincinnati carri very large marine contingents, but any lack In thla reaped, It la aaid, can be tmde Hp by equipping Jackles for shore du y should It become necessary to land a force on Colombian aoll to enforce the guarantee of the treaty or to protect American In terest!. The audden turn of events near Panama cam as a surprise to the officials of th Stat and Navy departments. Affairs In that quarter had quieted to such a dearie that only the little gunboat Ranger kept watch. Marietta was keeping a close eye on the trend of affairs In Venezuela, and Cincinnati was performing similar duty lu Hayti. The emergency arose so suddenly, therefore, that Haytl must be left un watched by an American war vessel during the Interval between the departure cf Cin cinnati for Colon and the arrival of Mont gomery In Haytlen waters. Paaaaaa C'eater of Trouble. It la thought that the center of trouble la likely to be at or near Panama Cl'y and it la for that reason and because of the small size and complement of Ranger thit the big Wisconsin has been despatched to the scene. Later in the day the officials of the Navy department . decided to take no chancea of an Insufficient landing force In case of an emergency on tha isthmus, and orders were sent forward to the United States Steamship Panther, wh'ch Is now enroute to League Island, to take aboard a battalion of marines upon ner arrival and. proceed to Colon. Or ders were issued for the organlzatlcn cf the marines, mho will number 380 men and will be commanded by Lieutenant Colonel B. Russell, with Major Barnett as second In command. Captains Porter, Butler and Marlx w'll command three of the fcur com panies and Captain Lemly will act as quar termaster. It will bo the duty of the ma rines to keep transit across the Isthmus clear. The marines performed a similar service In 1885. f It Is understood that, notwithstanding Vhe absence of a Haytlan navy on either aide of the revolutionary struggle, there la danger that some of the ports where American property Interests are large may suffer because of the practice which has Crstrs cb la th ec-tir's of tts reU!Tt ff burning towns before evacuating them. Therefore, It has been decided to send thn gunboat Montgomery to replace Cincinnati at Port An. Prince. Montgomery has Just finished participation In the maneuvers and la being overhauled at the New York navy yard. Allowing a couple of days In which to coal and lit out, It could probably reach Port Au Prince by Beit Thursday. To Jala Colomblaa Jlavy, BAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11.

Manila papers received at the War department today con tain reports from Mindanao regarding the Moro prcblem, showing what tha various sultans and dattos are doing, together with correspondence that has passed and conver sations that have occurred between army officers commanding In that Island and dif ferent chiefs. It appears that the Moro chiefs were In formed by Filipinos from Luzon that Rus sia and Spain were at war with the United S a.es. One of the sultans, when asked why he would not be on friendly terms with the United States authorities, said that the Moros were all under the direction of the sultan of Stamboul, and they had, been in foimed that there waa enmity between the sultan of Stamboul and tho United States government. Captain Pershing, in command of the cav alry, told him that this was entirely a mis take. Another datto made the claim that the Moros sways had been In undisturbed pos session of the Lake Lano country, and that even tha Rpanlards never had attempted to Interfere with them, and they did not want the Americans to do so. There had been considerable friendly correspendenca with the sultan of Bacolod, but finally a very unfriendly letter was re ceived from him, warlike In tone, which greatly surprised the American officers. From another Moro chief tho Americans were Informed that the ugly letter was a forgery peipetrated by two of the dattos un der the sultan of Bacolod. These dattos were very anxious for war, one of them claiming that ho could hold his fort against any force that might Tie sent against It; Thfc war party was stronger than the peace party and was tsunttng the Moros who wanted to bo on peaceful terms with the Americans by calling them cowards. The Filipino insurgent, Rufflno, was found to be in the region making trouble for tha Americans. In another communication from the Moro country It is stated that Colonel Baldwin tried to get all the sultans and dattos to meet him In a friendly conference. The sultan of Bacolod professed friendship, but asked for three months In which to com municate with the various tribes over which he was chiof.' Moros In the camp of Colonel Baldwin said that thla was simply a ruse to gain further time and prepare for war.

EQUALIZATION ? ' BOARD - ACTS Protests oa Hewer Assessments Oc eeey Most of the Time, of Seaelna. After remaining In session for the three days required by law the city council at t o'clock yesterday afternoon closed up the business of its third quarterly meeting of ths year as the board of equalisation. The most vigorously urged protest to come up for consideration wss against the sewer In district 271, located en Tw.lfth street and .running north from William street. The petition In opposition to this improvement was signed by twelve of the property .owners affected. E. . J.. Cornish appeared oa behalf of the petitioners and stated as the cause of objection that the property on the west aide of Twelfth street was so low aa to make the aewer of no benefit to the property owners there and the land on the east, side of tha street so high that tho houses there could not be con nected with the sewer without expense greater than the value of the lots. Beside, and most important of all that there was no water on the street and no Immed'ate proapect of water being put In, and as long aa there waa no water the sewer, would be of no Service and consequently of no benefit. It was suggested by Councilman Harcall that In some respeots the assessment as made was not entirely equitable and there fore the plan of assessment was rej-cted and. referred back, to the engineering de . , . .. . r. ., J m "lVl" Atl tiff Art will k. . ft,... m... n un i wiiul eireei ai mat point. A protest from John B. Vtau against the assessment In sewer d strict 274, Elgb eenth street, from Caatellar to Chicago streets, on the ground that there was no water on the street, was overruled and ths plan of assessment approved. By reason of ' protest from Joseph Valeshek the plan of assessment for the sewer on South Fourteenth street from Phelps street south was rejected. Mr. Valesbek's reason for objecting to the as sessment waa that the sewer only extended In front of half of the frontage cf one of hla lots and be felt that the one lot in question should not be asserted, as the situation wat such that It could not be connected with the sewer, and In case the sewer should be at any time extended the lot would again bi assessed for the extension to the full rxtent f Its frontage. This objection was re garded by the board a reasonable. The other plans of assessment already enumerated In tleta.ll In The Bee were all approved and a report In consonance with the action wan adopted by the board.

The confer ence committee of the Peoples' alliance, ap pointed at their convention at Haxleton last Thursday, appeared before Governor Stone this afternoon and submitted a plan for effecting a settlement of the anthracite coal strike. Their plan consists of calling a extra session of the legislature to snact Ifla'l fttr fnmnlllflnrv m rVll t Pgtf Intl hot top f control of foreign corporations doing bust- . . . . , . Hens iu cuumiiu ami cuiun'iua uic sixteenth and seventeenth articles of the constitution Article sixteen makes it unlawful for any operator or superintendent to employ any person as fire boss who has not obta ned certificate of company, and article seven teen prohibits any boy under twelve years of age or a woman from working In a coal mine and also prohibits a boy under alx- teen years of age from mining or loading coal. Daniel' J. McCarthy of Hazleton said the alliance represented the business people of the coal districts and that Its purpose was to secure a settlement of'the strike. There was no sign of a settlement and the only hope of bringing about an end to the strike Is an extra session of the legislature for the enactment of the leglnlatlon that will end the present strike and prevent strikes In the future. Mr. McCarthy suggested that If un extra aielnn t held soma action should be taken to curb the great foreign corpora tions which sre doing business In Penney! vania Ha attacks the heef trust, ths steel .... .it trust and other large corporations because Of the alleged high prices which they charge for their products. ARBITRATION IS A Teamsters Strike Is Settled In Chi eaa-o by Work of State Board. ' ; CH1GA10.-. Slept. ..'.ll-r'Arbltration a meana of settling labor- troubles proved a decided success in Chicago today." - One trlke was settled, one that was threatened was averted, and two were put in such shape that it is reasonably certain that tLey HI be brought to an end tomorrow. Tho anger of a famine through the strike of the packing house teamsters and the bakery and cracker wagon drivers now seems a thing of the past. The strike of the packing house teams ters was effective today so far as fho plck- ts of the, union, stationed all over tho city from South Chicago to the north side were able to discover, and not a pound of meat was moved by wift and Company by wagons. The usual consignments by rail were made and not interfered with.. Through the efforts of Frederick W. Job, chairman of the state board of arbitration, rrangements were completed tonlcht for meeting tomorrow between a committee representing the teamsters and represen tatives of Swift and Company. Boti sides appear anxious. to settle the trouble and it ia believed little difficulty will be ex perienced In reaching a satisfactory adjust ment of the controversy. Bakery, and cracker drivers and coal and truck teamsters, who received the sanction of the teamsters' joint council to strike at the plant of the William Schmidt Baking company because some of their drivers had been transferred to other branches of the National Biscuit company and their wages reduced, quit work today.
