CATTLE CABS HAVE 8EF.N VERY SCARCE 1elrblu Hftcttt, However, IaU at ifcat Eaaaaa. Car Are Boot t Bhlppl Polat far la iir Htttr in. Loral stockmen say that one of the largest ran oa record at the South Omaha yard la expected this we. They further ay that the atock yards company he mad svery preparation to prepar for auch, racotpta and that they will be sur prised at nothing. During the laat few weeks the shippers throughout the stale and other parts who market in South Omaha have boen greatly handicapped on account of a scarcity of cattle cara. The demand was larger than aver before and It seemed Impossible to accommodate all. Thla trouble became ao erloua that the recelpta of live atock . at the yards last week fell far below the general average for the last two months. The stockmen say that thla waa not due to the fact that there waa any scarcity of rattle or anything of that kind, but solely to the condition of the railroads, which could not furnish their patrona with the. number of cara needed. However., the light run of last week is expected to make an extra large run for this week. It la thought the ears ran be secured at the original shipping point In time to accommodate those who have had their cattle ready. Telegraphic reports fiom different porta of the stats Indicate i hat cars In abundance are now on band st the shipping points to meet the demands of the cattle raisers. Tbst the stock ysrds will make a record over all prior years before January 1 seems probable. At the present time there Is an Increase in the receipts over those a this time last yesr in cattle of 113.109 and n sheep of 130.000. Hoga are about 11.000 short over the number of last year, but It is thought that before tha year closes they will show a proportionate Increase wltn both cattle and sheep. Hate Society of Laker.

SALAZAR WOULD HALT CASEY I Governor of Panama Informs Amer- 1 tcaa Admiral that He t.oe Too far with HI Order. PANAMA, Colombia. Oct. 5. After the conference held last week between General ! Salazar. governor of Panama, and Colonel Mander of the Colombian forces on the Isthmus and Commander McLean of the t'nited States cruiser Cincinnati, no fur ther difficulties - were feared, for it wss believed that General Salazar was satisfied that the landing of American marines on the Isthmus had for its only object the maintenance of free railroad transit be tween here snd Colon. The arrival al Panama of Rear Admiral Casey on board the battleship Wisconsin, however, has quite changed the situstion. It now ap pears that the instructions brought by Rear Admiral Casey may result In serious complications. Last Friday General Salazar received a communication from Acting United States Consul Ehrman. saying that Rear Admiral Caaey would not permit the transportation of armed or unarmed employes of the gov ernment or war supplies of any kind by the railroad. General Salaxar up to yes terday had not answered this letter. He was presumably awaiting the result of the conference with Rear Admiral Casey on board Wisconsin yesterday. At this meet ing General Salazar said the United States, according to the convention of 1846, had contracted two Inseparable obligations, namely, to guarantee positively and effica ciously free transit across the Isthmus, and to guarantee in the aame manner the rtghta of sovereignty and property which Colom bia possesses over the Isthmus territory. The governor of Panama said further that If thej Colombian government Is not allowed to transport its troops and war material by rail over the isthmus, not only doe the United Statea not fulfill Ita aecond ob ligation, but It attacks Colombla'a rights of sovereignty and violatea all principles of morality and Justice; that he, as the representative of the nation and the gov ernment, could not accept such an Inter pretation of the convention, and against which h must energetically protest. Gov ernor Salaxar explained that the revolu tionists could not be considered on the same footing aa the government soldiers, the latter being defenders of th laws of the nation, while the rebels, by their ac tions, had placed tbemaelvea outside the lawe. He said that an Interpretation of the layra of 1846, which did not. permit Co lombia to transport Its troops and war materials over tha Isthmian railroad, con structed on Its own territory, while allow ing other nations and those aiding the rev olution to transport war material over thla railroad under the protection of American marines, must necessarily be entirely erro neous. To General Salazar Admiral Casey re plied that he waa complying with instruc tions received. He said he regretted that he waa compelled to take these measures, but he considered them necessary to the protection of free transit across the Isth mus. Admiral Casey also said that he would conault with Washington and aee what could be done In tbe matter. It was the general Impression In Colombian cir cles here that Admiral Casey has misinter preted his Instructions. It Is considered fortunate that General Salazar has acted prudently In thla matter, and that cordial relations exist between him and Admiral Casey, as these facta may do much toward preventing the very serious compllcstlons which are now thought to b Imminent. It la believed by Colombians here that un less the Washington authorities send in structions to their representatlvea on the Isthmus which do not have tbe appearance of attacking tb sovereign rights of Co lombia, the manner of handling the Isth mian question which does attack Colombia's r soverelanty may decide the role of the Colombian congress on th rsnsl bill. WASHINGTON. Oct. 6. The sctlon of Adratrnl Casey In giving notlee of his In tention to decline to trsnsport combatants, sremunitlon or arm across the Isthmus of Psnsms Is grestly regretted st the Coloinblsn legation. One member of th legation stsff expressed the opinion tbit it would produce a most unfavorable im pression among the people of Colombia should later developments show thst Ad mlrsl Cssey's step hss been accurately re. ported. Other diplomat!. offlr !alf in discussing the matter said that Admiral Cssey's sc- I tion went further thsn that of Com ma ml cr McLean of Cincinnati, who permitted th? transportation of troops across the rail road after they had been disarmed an I under an escort of marines. A dispatch received at the Colombian le gation from Bogota announces an official declsration of pface In four of the depart ments of the republic. Preparations ire making in Colombia for the election of a cfngrers to d.-sl with the Pansma canal nd other Important subjects and the offi cial announcement of the peace Is a pre liminary step to the election of members of congress.

COST OF WAR WITH SPAIN Total Pay of Soldiers Kn stage I Sbovta la Paymaster General Rates' Report. WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. According to the annual report of the paymaster general, army expenditures decreased during the past fiscal year S918.819. as compared with the preceding year, partly owing to decrease In tbe psy of tbe army and In part owing to a reduction of claims for extra pay by volunteere. The total expenditures made by Paymaster General Bates were $."2,523, 479. The paymaster general is an earnest ad vocate of the creation of a retired list for government clerks and his report contains a strong pie, for the establishment of a system of retirement based on the deduc tion of a small sum monthly from the salary of each clerk. He says that be sees no trouble In adjusting such a scheme to a practical working basis without expense to the United States. The paymaster general saya good results ar observable from Secretary Root'a plan of detailing line officers tor staff duty. He says th law worked admirably In his de partment and the only Improvement he could auggest would be to permit tbe de tail of first lieutenant 'instead of captaina aa the lowest grade In tbe pay corps, giving the lieutenant, however, captains' pay while doing such work.' A financial statement, setting out In great detail the expendlturea of tbe paymaster general' office makes It appear that the total approximate cost of the wsr with Spain 00 account of pay and, extra pay to volunteer and regulars and mileage to officers waa $73,668,640. . General Batea takes satisfaction in noting the fact that eery cent of money disbursed through his de partment from the date of tbe outbreak of the Spanish war haa . been satisfactorily accounted for and that the government has not lost one cent through defalcation, cap ture by the enemy, robbery or any other cause, while the cost of disbursing the vast sum of over $200,000,000, including salaries and mileage of paymasters and their clerks, haa been about 7 per cent of the amount disbursed. The report contrasts this rec ord with the civil war, when nearly $500,000 was lost by tbe government. Roosevelt Dolaa; Well. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.
