NAVY DEPARTMENTS POLICY.
Will Make Every Effort to Prevent q
Conflict.

Washington, Dec 10.-The policy OF
the navy department with respect to
the entry of Colombian troops into
Panama was said during the day to be
to prevent a conflict before it com.
menced. To this end, having in mind
previous experiences on the isthmus,
the naval commanders In those waters
have been given instructions to keep
the Colombian troops at greater dis
lance from the isthmus at points
where fight with the Panaman troops
Is likely to occur. In all naval opera
tiOns, it may be stated on authority,
the department Is still guided by the
treaty of 1886, under which the United
States guarantees to keep transit
across the isthmus open. A broader
Interpretation of the duties and respon-
sibilities OF the government in this
respect has now been given to this
treaty, by which the protection of the
United States will not alone be con-
fined to the canal strip. but to any
part of the territory of Panama where
an opportunity is afforded Colombian n
troops 70 encounter those of Panama
and thereby temporarily. at least, en-.
danger free and unobstructed traffic
across the isthmus.

reply to the Japanese proposals has
not yet been received and it is not be-

any case a section of the Japanese
diet is expected to impeach the cabi,

that REQUIRED at intervals in the MonsiRny
