Panama and Colon are in the hands of Colombian insurgents, according to the captain of a German steamer. Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago has had a $17,000 diamond necklace stolen from her, and the famous detectives of Paris are on the trail of the thief. So far, however, no clew has been obtaiued. Mount Azuma, near Bandaisan, Japan, which was the scene of a volsanic disaster in 1888, has again broken into eruption. Two hundred persons were killed or injured. Several villages were engulfed. ==== In a dense fog on the Irish channel the Campania, en route from New York for Liverpool, struck the Liverpool bark Embleton, bound for New Zealand, amidships, cutting her in twain. The Embleton sank immediately. Seven of the crew were rescued, but it is believed the other eleven members of the ship’s company, including the captain, were drowned.
