mus Will be Protected.

Washington, Dec. l9.-"l.et the Co,
lombians take the initiative" is the RET
straining keynote of specific instruc.
tons which Secretary Moody has cab
led to American naval commanders in
isthmian waters. The secretary has
taken active hold in the shaping of
the naval policy on the isthmus, and
from now on instructions, whether to
naval or marine officers. will as far
as possible be prepared at his person
al direction. It was announced today
that while the situation on the 18TH
mus was in no way alarming to the
Washington government 1t vas suffi'
GENTLY delicate to require careful
and diplomatic handling. For this rea.
son secrecy has been e~njoined on the
officials of the department regarding
the operations OF the ships and ma
rines. The only official information
will be given out at the direction of
the secretary.
At a conference this afternoon be-
tween Secretary Moody and Brigadier
General George f. Elliott, command
err of the marine corps, the latter re-
ported that on "a hours notice he
could get under way TO Colon with
| tIa ,A.y rarihhAan coo battalion

Philadelphia. This battalion, which
1t is intended shall go south on the
cruiser Dixie, now on the way from
| Colon to Philadelphia. will probably
sail between December rs and Janu.
airy 1, the exact time depending on the
condition of the Dixie on arrival and
the repairs she may need. General
Elliott has been informed that unless
the isthmian situation enters a decid-
eddy more peaceful phase in the mean
time. he will command this battalion
and upon his arrival will organize the
three battalions of marines on the
isthmus into a brigade of which he
will assume supreme command.
Although General Elliott will have
a conference with the president be-
fore leaving, and will be In daily con
ference with Secretary Moody, from
both of whom he will receive instruc-
lions regarding his operations on the
isthmus, much will be left to his dis
erection.
There were several conferences at
the navy department today regarding
the situation of the camps for the ma
rines on the isthmus. Lest the admin.
istration may be in the light of an
ticipatng the senate's ratification of
the canal treaty by assuming the obli-
cations provided for in that onven
ton. it has been about settled that
General Elliott shall not ass his
forces along the Panama border I'M
less the safety Of the republic abso-
lutely demands 1t.
In official circles tonight il was said
that Panama. while disclaiming any
obligation to COLOMBIA for the payment
of a portion of her debt would volun-
tarily, Is an act of comfy, assume
such share of 1t as In her judgment
might be deemed proper. Il is said
that a formal expression of that gov
eminent on the subject is delayed
only pending the completion OF the
statement Of Gen. Reyes. the desire
being to note just what demands Co

Last Monday evening was the OPEN
ing meeting Of the season for the
Social Science Club The program for
the evening was a paper on tue An

Mr.. Robinson to attend the meeting
it was resolved to request him to
read his paper at the next regular

is down on the program for that even
ing, should be unable to present his
paper.
= President Koehler, on behalf of the
executive committee, requested mem
bers present to suggest topics to aid
the committee in arranging the full
program for the coming season. It
was also suggested that anyone having
in mind some topic for discussion
would do the committee a favor by
communicating the same to Prof.
Kuelilef, cha man OF the committee,
by mail or otherwise. The attendance
was not as good as usual, owing per-
haps somewhat to the fact that many
of the members were aware OF MT.
