ALL QUIET ON THE COLOMBIA.

The factions of the United States of Colombia are
making the most OF their opportunities for fighting on
the line of the Panama canal while there is yet freedom
from the police regulations of the United States If this
country should decide before the adjournment Of Congress-

through the sthmus of Panama, there would be end
forever of guerilla warfare in that particular part the
weak and troubled republic which would retain nominal
sovereignty but could no longer exercise the ordinary
functions OF government.
