Warship to Protect our Interests.
tBy Telegraph to the Evening Journal.l

demic of revolutions in South America
seems to be spreading Colombia is now
In danger. Word has reached the state
department that serious trouble is brew
ing in consequence of the quarantine
established against European and Amer
lean vessels.
The trouble commenced by the action
on the British mail steamer Atrato as a
warning to keep out of port. The British
resented this action and other foreigners,
especially merchants, are complaining
bitterly at the action of the Panama au-
thorities IN closing all ports against
European and American ships. Business
is said to be completely paralyzed and
general discomfort prevails as a result
The American consul has advised that
a cruiser be sent there as means of pre-
venting trouble and protecting American
residents there. His request has been
promptly complied with. Admiral
