Action ls the Result Of unconfirmed
Reports That Colombian Soldiers
Had Disembarked South Of Panama

of q Permanent Government.

Colon. Dec. 15.-A company OF ma
zines from the United States cruiser
Prairie was landed here Monday morn.
Ing under the command Of Captain
smedley D. Butler. and Immediately
started by train for Panama. The
destination Of the marines is to be va
VIA, up the San Miguel gull. and
Tuira river. ~. :. ..~...y
It is believed that the decision Of
the naval authorities to station ma
rines at Yaviza may possibly be owing
to the reports that Colombian troops
have been sent in that direction, but
up to the present time there is no rear
son to believe that any large force is
under orders to march on Panama from
Cauca. RI. .: ~, =. #.~
The opinion seems to prevail that
the Colombian soldiers seen were
probably scouts who were endeavoring
to learn what preventive and protec-
tive measures were being taken by the
Republic Of Panama and that it was
their presence which gave rise to the
exaggerated rumors of a speedy at
tack by Colombia on the Isthmus. It
is more likely that the movement of
marines to Yaviza Is in conformity
with the policy of the naval authori-
ties to concentrate forces at points
which offer the best facilities for get
ting immediate information Of any
movement by Colombian troops to-
ward Panama and at the same time of
affording the marines some relief
from their confinement to the ships.
The marines carried with them all
requisites for camp life, and alsos
number of machine guns.

The offers made by the different
cities were $4,000 by St. Louis, $780,

'penses of the assembling of the con-
vention in that city.
