COLON, Colombia March 5.--The work of

day or two for the United States, but Ad-
miral Walker will remain behind to attend
to some routine work. On the first days
march from Ochoa to the sea Admiral Walk
err, after three hours gallant struggle, was
forced to abandon the trip and went to
Greytown by canoe. Col Hams says this
part of the work of the commission was
most difficult. After tramping thirty-eight
miles through the jungle, the colonel and
his followers reached Greytown exhausted.
They had to cut every foot of their way
through the underground with the machete.
Engineer Arthur p. Davis, who has re-
signed from the commission and is now in
this country said there was no possible
chance of getting in a report this year,
as the commissioners have not yet obtained
sufficient data.
