WAsUSGrON. Februlry %. The DEPART
meut ol state has received dispatches from
the Con,uls o. the United States a, Panama
and Colon in regard 10 the siiuatioa Of af-
f,irs on the Isthmus. The Consuls report
thai no disorders had taken place up to Feb.
rnary 18Th, aud that no trouble was an;ici-
mated, because OF the expected final collapse
Of the de Les.eps company. Tie event Of
collapse has been discounted by the fact that
a gradual suspension OF work has been going
on for the last two months. and an overflow
has driited out easilT and ia several directions.
West India negroes were returning 20 their
bones at the rate OF 800 week and the French
steamers three times a month were taking
200 or 500 French each. The Gillian Consul
at Pauama Is also shipping about 800 white
laborers month 10 Chill. n0mlnally 70 work
on the rail Rays. The COnsuls thought tha,
ii the collapse had taken place all 1T once,
ss was at first expected, there would have
been serious dagger OF disturbances. To-
gether with these facts, in relation to The
ilnproDability OF trouble on the lsthmus, Is
The preparation made by Congress under re-
communication OF the Administration to
make ample provision for tue expectation OF
American laborers in distress in Panama.
