The Ship Was Used For Conveying
Troops to Town Besieged BY
Rebels

Panama, Nov. 20.-The seizure Of the
British steamer Taboga by the Col
,ombian government is due to the fact
that the agent Of the Pacific Steam
Navigation Company, to which she be-
longed, refused to sell or charter the
vessel for the purpose Of conveying
government troops to Buena Ventura,
which is besieged by liberals. Therefore
the governor decreed seizure of the
steamer and proceeded to the relief of
Buena Ventura with troops. ammuNi-
tion and provisions. The British consul
entered a strong protest against seiz-
5ure of the steamer, but to no avail. He
then communicated with his govern
ment on the subject. No reply has been
received from London. The Taboga
arrived at Buena Ventura yesterday,
whereupon the liberals retired.

The committee will confer with the
rivers and harbors committee before

recommendations accordingly The
members say if congress is not willing
to allow fourteen foot channel IN the
start a smaller will be accepted.
The members say however, that the
Legislation must be made with the ulsi-
mate view of giving a fourteen foot
depth and that the locks and other
machinery must be suitable for chan
mel Of fourteen feet ultimately.
Mr.. Whitmore said:
The sanitary canal has been an ex-
