ISTHMUS STILL QUIET.
LIBERALS APPARENTLY LOSING GROUND
THE SITUATION

Colon. Aug 31.-Quiet prevails on the isthnus
The recent Liberal concentration in this vicinity
seems to have disappeared. While yet more or
less numerous. the Liberals are poorly armed
and without leaders. They lack organization
for concerted action, and hence missing op-
portunities to injure the government.
Endless rumors are afoat but the consensus
OF the best informed, conservative opinion dis
credits serious hostiIities or anything more than
a continuation of the Liberals guerilla system
of engagements with the government forces. The
Liberals are anxious to get a seaport Hence
their recent approach to Bocas del Toro, west
of here. The government is not bringing rein
forcements to the isthmus. There are about
four hundred men at Colon, and at Panama one
thousand men available if needed.
The general situation in Colombia is divisible
under three heads-the isthmus revolutions. the
progress made through the rest of the country
and the situation the Venezuela and Ecuador
frontiers. The revolution is going in the rest
OF the country with varying success. The Lib
erals hold various towns and districts. and de-
cline 10 meet the punitive government expedi-
tions. withdrawing upon their approach and re-
turning after their departure to engage in other
and similar tactics. with occasional small en-
gagements.
All the governmental systems of communica-
ton are interrupted delayed. and are unre-
liable, hence 1t is impossible to secure reliable
news OF the coast frontier happenings. Colom-
bia doubtless has troops on the Venezuela and
Ecuador frontiers. although the numbers re-
ported are vastly exaggerated. and Venezuela
has no troops on the Colombian frontier. II is
difficult to draw a line of distinction between
the troops of one country and the revolutionists
of the other.
Various indications lead 10 the belief that there
will be no actual warfare between Colombia and
Venezuela. The political revolutionists of both
countries in past years have time and time again
jumped across the frontier when pressed from
one side or the other. ard have continually USED
as the necessity arose, one or the other coun-
try as place Of refuge in preparing expeditions
against the established authority of the otner
country The Venezuelan Liberals sympathlze
with the Colombian Liberals, and the Conserva-
tives of both countries hold views which are
similar. The Venezuelan Liberals have fought
against the conservative government of Colnrn-
bia. The Venezuelans assert that the Colom-
hian ConseTy atives have done the same against
the Liberal government OF Venezuela.
1t should be borne in mind that the frontier
offers indefinite protection to Colombans and
VeneZueans OF both political parties 1t has
been the favorie field Of operations for the revo-
lutionsts of both countries and these condi-
tions have existed whenever either Colombia or
Venezuela has had revolution on hand.
1t is said here that Colombia has ten thousand
men the Ecuador border.
