with the help ot the tradea unlona of tha

A telegram was recetved from Rear "Ad
miral Casey, commanding tho Pacific sta
tion, stating that tha big battleship Wis

PANAMA- Received clDher message this
morning saying revolutionists near railroad

isthmus atlll open. . POTTER,
In view ot the reporta tbat political sig
nificance attaches to tbla latest dispatch of
a naval force to the Isthmus ot Panama,
tba statement waa gained today from A high
and unquestionable official source to the
effect tbat the protection or American in
terests and the enforcement of treaty
guaranties are the only two considerations
Involved In tbt sending ot additional war
ships to Panama and Colon.
It waa pointed out tbat peculiar circum

force more formidable than, the occasion
really warrants. Ranger, at Panama,
haa a complement, oi oniy ian men, mere
was no other, vessel available on the Faclfle
coast save the big battleship Wisconsin, ao

Cincinnati at Colon, informs tha depart
ment that tbe men ara needed. In tbe
meantime the battalion will be equipped
and provlatoned and tha ahlp ia held In

HEROIC DARiriC
GOVERNMENT L1FF i SAVING
CREW RECEIVE GOLD
MEDALS. .
.
The Overtaralaa; of a Life-Boat la tha
Sort on Lake Krle Knds tho I sc
falacss of One Hardy Reteser.
From the thirty-first day of October to)
the eleventh day ot November, 1SS3, tha
crew of the V. 8. life-saving atatloa at
Cleveland, O., aved twenty-seven men. and
two women from vessels thrown ashore
by the storms that lasbed . tbe waters of
Lake Erie. To eaoh of the nine men In
tbe crew the government gold medal "for
heroic daring" was awarded and tha story
of the earning of these .medals gives a
glimpse of the perils that theec hardy men
are trained to face. , "
It waa on the eleventh of October thnt
the moat thrilling rescue waa accomplished
under difficulties that would have daunted
most men. The barge J, T. Janson went
ashore during a howling hurricane.
Through the driving spray and poundine;
surf the herola band launched the life bos t
in an effort to get a line to the distressed
vessel. No sooner was the boat ' In Iho
water and the men In their places than It
was rapslied by an Immense wave and tho1
men thrown Into tbe water. . One of tho
crew was Charles 1 Learned, fortyono
years old and a vlgoroua specimen of man
hood. When the boat rolled over he was
caught beneath It and. pinned down by his
oar, lost consciousness. The action of the
waves washed him from tinder tbe boat
before life waa extinct and Ma cork belt
brought him, to tbe aurface. Conscious
ness slowly returned, but he was help
leaa and drifted fcshore. Hundreds of
people had gathered to watch the work of
rescue. A policeman and a laborer drew
Learned from the water and took him to
the customs house, where he was revived
by stimulants.. The-other members of the
life crew made tbelr way to the' shore and
hurried for ths beach apparatus. Ia about
aa hour and a half they returned and
Learned had so tar recovered that be made
hla way to tha acene of the- wreck and
took bla place wltb the crew,. All hands
were saved, but Learncd'a career aa- a
Ufa aaver we ended. . In relating tho
story, he said tbat rheumatism quickly set
in aa a result of the cold and exposure.'
This was complicated with neuralgia.. "I.
bad auch pains In my.baok that I could
hardly move," be Bays, "and the least ex
citement woujd cause my heart to beat
violently. I bad to be very careful ot my
diet and Buffered much distress after eat
ing. I could not Bleep, my bead aehed, I
waa all run down and discouraged. Hav
ing been disabled In the government serv
ice, I received omethlng over $600 In ad
dition to my gold medal:" . -
Mr. Learned la now a prosperous farmer
at Sandy Creek, N. T.. and tbe etory of
hla restoration to aetlvltv Is .. tnij
ba tells It. "About four yeara ago," ha
aaya, "I bbw Dr. William's Pink P11U ad
vertiaed In a newspaper. I tried them and
firmly believe that If I bad not I should
be In my grave now.: Tbe pllla began to
help me in less, than a week. : Not only
did they benefit, my rheumatism, bnt they
built up my strength, ao that I was aoon
able to do a bigger day's work than In
years before. The Insomnia disappeared
and sleep was 'sound and ' refreshlpg. I
bava recommended Dr, William's Pink
Pills for Pale People to many apd am glad
to endorse them. Everyone at Sandy Creek
