Blackburn waB not in the game and the team lined up as follows: Hughes and Mo- OuHle, forwards; Dodge, center1, Anthony and Trax, guards. The Stars had their usual lineup, with the exception of Hughes. Tonight, the same teams will meet again, in the Auditorium, In Scranton. Hughes, it is expected, will play with the Stars.

There are less than a score of Americans in the entire district, and practically all of them arc located at Cana, where they are engaged In mining. Cnna is about three days Inland from Ynvlza. The presence of Colombians at Tltumati and the discovery of a few men about Cana, supposed to be Colombian spies, decided the miners to withdraw, which they did, passing through Yavlzu on the ■way.

The Two Approaches Guarded. Notning has occurred recently to indicate tjint the Colombians are moving toward the isthmus, and the situation Is distinctly quiet. The naval authorities have derided that there is no need to send re-enforeeuientp. There are two routes by which the Colombians might reach Panama territory from the Atrnto rirer, on the gulf of Darien. Both are old and were proposed as canal routes and surveyed'by Lucia n In 1870. The northern route is from Acantl, in the gulf of Darien, over the low mountains toward Yaviza, while the other route is up the Atrato river and thciicc via the Cacaiica river and over the Tulo Mountain pass, which also ends at Yaviza. It follows, therefore, that Captain Butler's company of marines at Yaviza covers both these approaches.Holiday Books and Games. ANDREWS' BOOK STORE.

Washington Dec. 22.—It is stated on good authority that diplomatic pressure will be brought to bear upon Colombia by several European powers to prevent war between that country and the United States. Indeed the first step in this direction already has been taken by several foreign powers through their representatives here, who liave informed General Rafael Reyetof the futility of any attempt by Colombia to retake Panama, declaring that it will result only in forcing the Bogota government Into war with the United States, and have said to him that the result of such a catastrophe Colombia herself must realize.
