SIGNS OF .SANCLEMENTE.
FRIENDS OF FORMER PRESIDENT AR
RESTED on SUSPICION.

Washington. Aug 13-The State Department to-
day received mail advices from three different
quarters in Colombia, all showing revolutionary
movements in progress and rather serious condi-
ton of affairs. Both termini of the Panama Rail
way route were heard from, Consul-GeneraI Gudger
writing from Panama as to revolutionary attack
on nearby towns. and Consul Mamros. at Colon, re-
porting that guerilla lighting had been going on at
different points between Colon and Panama. At
the same time, Minister Hart wrote from the cap
ital of Colombia to the arrest and imprisonment
OF prominent adherents of the former President
DIR. Sanclemente. they were suspected of seek
ing to have the Nationalist organization join with
the Liberals, who are said TO be showing increased
strength and activity in a revolutionary movement
Although these letters have taken some time 10
come forward. yet they give the State Department
about the best and the only definite information
which is at hand to the condition Of affairs.
NIr Gudgers letter speaks of a revolutionary raid
July 26 and 27 in which alcalde and several
policemen were made prisoners and some arms and
provisions captured. This is the holding up
Of the train at Matachin, reported by him by cable
that happened later and did result in any
looting.
Mr.. Herran, the Colombian Charge dAffaires at
Washington. received a letter to-day from the
Colombian consul-general in New-York saying that
the latter had just received cable dispatch from
the Acting Governor OF Panama saying that the
guerilla bands thereabout are causing no uneasi-
ness The Governor, according TO recent advices,
has gone 10 Cartagena for soldiers and supplies.
Other than this, Mr.. Herran's official mail from
Colombia, which reached him to-day. gave in
formation on the situatio in South America
In the absence Of official advices the only con-
struction which the Colombian legation place
upon the reported withdrawal of the Colombian
minister, Senor Rico. and his legation staff from
Caracas Is that. having found his position in the
Venezuelan capital uncomfortable, perhaps threat
ened by mob violence, he has started for the
Colombian capital. where he better cooperate
with the officials than through the medium tele-
graphic or mail correspondence.
The Navy Department received word to-day Of
the departure of the Iowa from Puget Sound for
San Francisco, whence she viii go TO Panama if
her services are required there. No word from the
Machas has been received to-day. The latter is
taking on ammunition at Norfolk and the depart
ment has telegraphed asking when she Will be
ready TO sail The department believes that the
delay will not be over two days at the Lieu
tenant-Commander Nathan Sargent will remain in
command of the Machias Much reliance is placed
upon the tact and good judgment this officer by
the Navy and State departments. He in com
mand of the Scorpion at La Guayra during the
trouble in Venezuela some time ago, and acquitted
himself with much credit He is thoroughly famil-
lar with South American affairs.

gunpowder and dynamite belonging 10 the rail-
road have been their latest acquisitions
A British man-of-war is likely 10 arrive here
shortly.
BY far the greater volume of trade transacted

the matter OF population, so far as Colon is con-
cerned, more than half are Americans In Pan
anna there is much larger proportion of Colon

hands of foreigners.

portion of them returned 10 Gatun without hav-
