All the victims were Mexicans The
waters are reported to be falling and
all danger is over.

A SURPRISE TO ALI.
Foreigners in Colombia Astonished
 by Americen's Action.


 Bogota, Nov. q. via Colon. Nov. 24-A prominent politician here who is close to the government and thoroughly in- formed on the affairs of the administra- tion, speaking to the Associated Press correspondent to-day characterized the action of the United States on the isth- mus of Panama as most unjustiffable. He added:
 "Colombians hope that the. reasonable and fair minded people of the United States will bring such pressure to bear on the government at Washington that the result will be the saving of the fsth- mus to Colombia and the protection of Colombia's unquestioned rights there. All Colombians protest as would the people of other nations against this aggression of the United States. Colombia is confl- dent that justice will be done her and all Colombians are unanimously resolved to sustain and demand the nations in- tegrity even at any sacrifice. The Bo- gotta government is receiving the sup port of ali political parties.
 ''The French colony at Bogota has unanimously offered the government its service and property while the German and English colonies have manifested extreme sympathy with Colombia's cause ''The interior of the country remains tranquil in the expectation of favor able issue of the peace mission on which General Reyes and Holguin are now pro ceeding to Washington.
 American residents at Bogota seem surprised at the action of the United States on the isthmus and express con fidence that the United States govern ment will retrace the steps it has taken in Panama"

TO FLOCK TO lSTHMUS
AN INFLUX CF CoLoMBIANs IS
 EXPECTED.
Suggested That the Old Rpublic May Seek Admission Into the New The Plans of General
 Reyes.

Colon. Nov. 4-A person who is of in- innate association with General Reyes, and who has seen much of the General during the past few months, and who is thoroughly familiar with the interior of Colombia, speaking to the Associated Press correspondent today concerning the probable course which General Reyes will pursue at Washington, said he thought that General Reyes would make every ef- fort, no matter how hopeless, to effect such a settlement of the Panama situa- ton as would preserve the integrity of Colombia. Thinking his position to negotiate to this end would be stronger if he had an, armed force in the field. the Associated Press in- formant said 1t was not improbable that General Reyes would order preparation for an attempt to invade the Isthmus.
 Generals Sarria and Bustamente left General Reyes at Port Limon, Sarria re- turning to Bogota and Bustamente to the province of Antioquia. It is possible that they carried General Reyes's orders to undertake warlike preparations. if 1t can be proved that such preparations will strengthen Reyes's position or if the gen. erals think the people of Colombia require such preparation.
 "Colombia's extremity is such and her CHdBTlh UNCI tn6 toSo Ol tnt lStuuAuo AS so great" continued the informant, that it would not surprise me to SC the Re- public of Colombia eventually asking ad- mission into the Republic of Panama, all other efforts failing. Already the Isth- mians are expecting the influx of promi- nent Colombians, who doubtless regret that they were not in the Isthmus when independence was accomplished, in order to partake of It's benefits.
 General Reyes hopes the United Sthtes will to some extent withdraw from the position it has taken on the Isthmus, pos sbly to the extent of giving Colombia an unhindered opportunity to recapture the Isthmian territory. Believing this possi- bie. the aggressive attitude of General Reyes Is understandable. Failing to &C., complish anything at Washington, Reyes might find it necessary to do his utmost to preserve Colombian integrity. even to the extent of leading forlorn hope, pos sfbly with the expectation that aid might be given by some European power."
