The following dispatch. dated Dec

on the western side of the gulf. just
north of the mouth of the Atrato
river.
The commander of the Atlanta sent
ashore an officer. who conversed with
the Colombian commander. The latter
protested energetically against the
presence of American warships in Co
lombian waters, as war between Co
lombia and the United States had not
been declared. and he politely request
ed the Atlanta to leave THE gulf. be-
cause it belonged to Colombia. Com
mander Turner ignored the request
and the Atlanta returned to Colon to
report to Rear-Admiral Coghlan.
1t is clear that the Colombians are
busy fortifying and strengthening
their position. Although they treated
the Americans courteously, they de-
cidedly resented the presence of the
Atlanta's landing party. The Colom-
bian force was composed partly of
the men landed recently at the Atra-
CnIo
Cartagena and General Pinzon.
Early in the morning of Dec. 10 the
Atlanta sighted a small schooner in
the center of the Gulf of Darien and
followed her to the western shore,
where the schooner attempted to hide
behind an islet. Lieut.. Harlan p. Per
rill of the Atlanta was ordered to
board her and thereupon a whaleboat
was lowered and pulled toward the
schooner. II was found that the
schooner had on board 100 armed Co
lombian soldiers commanded by Gen.
Rafael Novo. who said Gen. Daniel Or
tiz. commander-in-chief of the Colon
bian forces of the Atlantic and the
Pacific, had large camp mile away
on the mainland.

vailed among the Colombians on the

there was sudden concentration of

peared dangerous and had the appear

EARLY MORNING AIR.
Causes of It's Sweetness and Fresh
Chemical ANALYSIS.

Chemists have long ago told US not
only what is the exact composition of
the air but also that this composition is
practically constant. whether the air be
mat near the mountain top or the sea
or from the country, or of the town. SO
Iar, then, chemistry would not appear
70 offer any explanation of the benefit
gained from a change Of air Sim
Harry, every one knows the sweetness
and freshness of the early morning air,
attractive properties which disappear
as the day advances: but so far as
analysis goes the composition OF the
early morning air is not different from
that of air at any other time
It IS Well to remember, however that
during the passing of night to day and
Of day to night several physical changes
take place There is a fall in tempera-
ture at sunset and a rise again at dawn
and it is we'll known that change Of
state is accompanied by electrical phe-
nomena and certain chemical manifes-
tations also. The formation of dew has
probably, therefore, far more of dew
effects than merely the moistening Of
objects with water. Dew is Vitalizing
not entirely because it is water but be
cause it possesses an invigora ting ac-
ton due partly, at any rate, to the fact
that it is saturated with oxygen and it
has been stated that during its forma-
ton peroxide of hydrogen and some
ozone are developed
It is not improbable that the peculiar
" attractive and refreshing quality
which marks the early morning air has
its origin in this way. Certain it is
that the bracing property of the early
morning air wears off as the day ad-
vances, and it is easy to conceive that
this loss of freshness is due to the
oxygen, ozone or peroxide Of hydrogen
