kilograms received at the Navy De
partment today announced the departure
of the Atlanta from Kingston for Colon
and of the Boston from San Juan Del
Sur for Panama 1t is not believed that
any additional ship can get to Colon or
Panama before tomorrow.
The Atlanta should arrive at Coon Sat
urday at the latest, and the training ship
Dixie which left Kingston, Jamaica, Tues
day for Colon, is expected to arrive today
She carries a battalion of 450 marines and
will prove a powerful factor in maintain
ing the position of the United States for
the free transit of the isthmus. War
ships on this side of the isthmus are at a
disadvantage in this port, being Obliged,
owing to their draft to keep at least ten
miles off shore in an open roadstead, a
condition which greatly hampers and de-
days landing operations in an emergency.
The big collier Hannibal, which arrived at
Guantanamo Tuesday full of coal, which
was destined for the opening of the new
coaling station there, Is now he'd in readl
ness for instant departure for the isthmus
to coal the American ships there if they
promise to be detained any length OF
time.

Not Yet Recognized.

Washington, Nov. 5.--Formal announce
ment has been received at the State De-
partment by cable from Panama of the
establishment of a new government at
that place, which, the dispatch states,
is capable of maintaining order The
cablegram comes from the three consuls
constituting the new government and Is
signed by FREDERICK Boyd, oJse Agustin
Arrange and Tomas Arias.
The department has not taken any steps
yet toward recognizing the new order of
things, though the United States consuls
have large discretion in this matter and
may already have recognized the defacto
power of the junta at Panama, 1t is point
ed out, however, that no such action on
their part would effect the political rela-
tions of the new government with the
United States. In due course of time
if it shall appear that that government is
able to maintain itself and preserve order,
the State Department would extend for
NAL recognition, but there is no particular
reason for haste.
