Colon cablegram: The Colombians at Barranquilla stoned the United States consulate when news of the secession of the Panama states reached that city. Mobs of citisens filled the streets, shouting "Death to the Ameri­ cans," and the authorities controlled the populace with difficulty. Public indignation at Bogota is in­ creasing hourly, according to advices received from there. President Mar- roquin, it Is stated, is trying to leave the capital.

Torres and his of­ ficers were threatened with arrest as traitors, but the threat was not put Into effect. ' The populace, greatly ex­ cited, soon crowded the streets cry­ ing, "Down with the Americans." United States Consul Ingersoll, fear­ ing violence, remained shut up in the consulate. Reads News te-Grewdi-i--\ The excitement at Barranquilla in­ creased with the spreading or the news of the secession of the isthmus, which was supplemented by exagger­ ated accounts of the alleged part play­ ed by the United States therein.

The prefect followed the reading by a speech in which he declared that the Colombian government would nev­ er permit the secession of the isthmus and would win back the -lost territory at any cost.

Green, "Father of Greater New York," Is 8lain on His Own Doorstep. . New'York dispatch: Andrew H. Green, the "father of greater New York" and one of the city's oldest and most remarkable citizens, was assass­ inated on the steps of his home in Park avenue by Cornelius M. Will­ iams, a negro, who is believed to bo insane. The murder was evidently the outcome of a delusion on the part of the negro that Mr. Green had slan­ dered him, for when he was asked why he had committed the murder he replied: "I did it to save my char> acter." # There were three witnesses to the tragedy, Mrs. .Anna Bray, a domestic lit Mr. Green's family; Emil Michel- son, an errand boy, and Patrick Dyer, a cabman. According to these wit­ nesses the negro must have been wait­ ing for Mr. Green to come from, his office. Mr. Green at 1:30 p. m. alighted from a Fourth avenue car In the tun­ nel at Fortieth street and walked to his residence, almost across the street from the station. The negro was stand­ ing in the vestibule of the house and as Green started to ascend the two steps leading to the hall door Will- lams advanced toward him. There was a brief interchange of words and then the negro drew a revolver and fired five shots. Mr. Green sank to the stone pave­ ment, blood streaming from his head, while his murderer, returning the re­ volver to his pocket, leaned against the railing of the stoop, as if awaiting arrest. William H. Burns, a car starter for the Murray Hill hotel, was one of the first to reach the negro, whom he seized as he was about to walk aw&y and turned over to a policeman and a detective, who rushed up a moment later. A physician was on the spot almost instantly and pronounced Mr. Green to be dead. DECISION BARS MANY CHINESE Any Man Working in His Own Estab­ lishment Not a Manufacturer.
