DISQUIET In COLOMBIA.

WASHINGTON. March 5, 1s95-Dis-
quieting advices continue to reach the
Navy Department from Capt. Cromwell,
of the Atlanta. at Colen, whose dis
patches confirm the impression in official
circles that the Columbian Government IS
utterly unable to cope with the revoIu-
t1on1sts or maintain order.
The progressive party appears IL the
ascendant, and until one party or the
other is effectually dispersed it appears
that American interests which are con-
fined almost together to the Isthmus
and line of the Panama Railroad, mus,
rely for protection on the United States
Navy.
1T lis understood that no additional
warships will be ordered to the Isthmus
until actual riots take place there, as
men from the Alert, which will be at
the Pacific end of the line in a few
days, and from the Atlanta on the Allan
tic side, are considered capable of quell-
ing any small disturbance.
The Atlanta can land a force of $50
marines and bluejackets with two Cat
lings, two 37-millimeter RAPID, fire guns
and two one-pounders. The Alert could
land 250 men with one three-inch rapid
fire, one twelve-pounder Howitzer anG
one Gatling.
These figures represent only two-thirds
of the available force of the two vessels.
A small detachment from either ship
with their machine guns on a fiat car
could fully protect the railroad, as has
been frequently done in the past.

The next step is to refer the report
of Mr.. Cooper to the New York and New

The Commission has Andrew H Green

way: Evan Thomas. President of the
Produce Exchange: Isidor Straus and
Charles NJ. Vail for members. They will

''On their approval we shall advertise
for bids. The War Departments ex-
perts estimated the outside cost of such
a bridge at s2s.o0o.oO0 If that is all ii
will cost we are ready to build it.
1.-The plans and specifications must be
approved of by the Secretary of War
under the act of June Z. 1894 When we
have secured the Secretarys approval
we shall begin work.
The Treasurer OF the Company. Mr..
Swan. said:-"We shall advertise for
proposals for a suspension bridge upon
the specifications presented by Engineer
Theodore Cooper. The Company will re-
auire guaranteed bids ACCOMPANIED by
a suitable bond that the work will be
