The Colombian Minister of War is in
command of the invaders.
The Department of State yesterday re-
ceived letter from j. Edward Simmons
the President of the Panama Railroad
Company. confirming his telegram of the
gay previous. in which he reported the
delaying OF the train on the Panama Rail
road and requested that warships be sent
to Colon and Panama. Mr. Simmons
states that his advices from the superin-
tendent of the road in Panama declare
that there were only about fifty men en-
gagged in the affair. He says. however,
that the situation is threatening and he
believes that warship should be sent to
Panama
The Wisconsin is expected to leave
Bremerton. on the Puget Sound. today
for San Francisco, and if the situation
does not Improve by the time she arrives
there the State Department will ask the
Navy Department to send her on down
TO San Diego in order that she may be
still nearer the scene of the disturbances
should her presence there be demanded
The gunboat Machias is now en- route
to Hampton Roads and is expected to
arrive there some time Sunday. Her final
inspection VIII probably take place there,
after which she will leave for Colon.
Commander Sargent is now in charge of
the gunboat, bringing her to Hampton
Roads. but II is possible that he may be
relieved of command and assigned to 9TH
er duty and that another officer may take
the Machias to Colon.
Although there were no telegraphic de-
spatches from Colombia received at the
State Department yesterday, the officials
believe that the Government there is ex-
erting all It's power to suppress the re-
volt. restore order. and protect property.
A mail report was received yesterday
from Consul Gudger at Panama. under
date of July II. 1901. in which he says
that an expedition in aid of the reyolu-
tionists landed near the Port of Nuts.
Reports various as to the number
and equipment of the persons so landed.
but ii is conjectured that the number is
rather small. Persons in official positions
at Panama, who seem to be best advised,
regard this expedition as the forerunner
of others to be sent out, well
method of causing a more general up
rising among the Liberals along the 18TH
mus.
The Consul General does not know
whether affairs on the isthmus will be-
come serious, but is Of the opinion that
if there should be armed forces present.
as there were a year ago, personal and
property rights will be endangered.
