MARINES LAND
At THE IsTHMUS
Camp Established in Canal
Company's Buildings Near
Panama
HUNDREDS MORE WILL FOLLOW
This is Believed to Be a PreoautiOn-
ary Measure and Also For the Moral
Effect On the Native Garrison at
Panama.

Colon. Dec. s.--A company OF ma
rines from the United States auxiliary
cruiser Dixie. under command OF Cap
tain Writ McCreary, we're landed here
and took a train for Empire. a town
on the railroad near Panama. where a
camp was established In the canal
company's buildings. Another com
pany OF marines to the number OF 80.
from the Dixie left on a later train for
Empire. The camp at Empire is now
thoroughly equipped and all precau-
tlons from a sanitary standpoint to
ensure the health OF the marines have
been taken. The camp will be supplied
with water from the Dixie pending the
analysis Of the drinking water avail
able there. II this water should be
found 10 be good. the remainder Of the
$50 marines on board the Dixie will be
transferred to the camp in patches
OF so.
The stated Official purpose Of this
movement Is TO give the marines prac-
tice in the building OF camps and to
provide relief from their long confine-
ment on the vessel. The actual pur-
pose of the United States government
in landing the marines is. however,
believed TO be connected with the pre-
cautionary measures now being carried
out on both sides OF the Isthmus and
perhaps also for the moral effect
which the landing OF the marines may
have on the native garrison at Panama.
the loyalty OF which. though hitherto
absolutely unswerving has been Ques-
toned in some quarters. especially
since the discovery OF the plot against
the life of General Huertas. comman-
der-in-chief of the forces OF the Re-
public Of Panama and the alleged ef-
fort on the part OF a few army officers
TO persuade the garrison TO revolt.
IL Is considered significant that the
point selected for the encampment of
the Dixies marines. while 1t is the
highest and best so far as sanitary
conditions are concerned on the line
of the Panama railroad, II Is also on
the trail most frequently used IN III
past for the movement OF troops over
land from the Cauca district into the
Chiriqui district
II body Of Colombian troops should
succeed in obtaining a foothold in the
rich Chiriqui district. il is generally
conceded that after predatory raids on
the countryside they could retreat TO
the mountain fastnesses. from which
IL would be most difficult to dislodge
/ them.
There is no doubt that the naval au-
thoritles took into consideration the
moral effect on the Colombian govern
ment Of the establishment Of marine
camp at Empire.
The report Of the movement OF 5000
soldiers from Cartagena for the pur-
pose Of invading the lsthmus cannot
be confirmed. Rumors of such move
ments may be looked for frequently.
| particularly as the people of the Isth-
mus are more or less excited by the
precautionary measures adopted by the
United States.
