Isthmian Waters Increased
to Nine Vessels.

sage this morning from Rear Admiral

sells increases the United States naval
representation in isthmian waters to nine

tined for that port.
Another Revolt in Colombia
Another revolution in Colombia is not i'm
possible according to a dispatch recelVeo
at the State Department yesterday from
United States Minister Beaupre at Bosota.
It was dated Thursday, November II, ana
at that time Mr. Beaupre described the
feeling in the capital city as panicky;
The minister has delivered to the Coiom-
bian government the instructions sent 10
him by the State Department on the oth
instant, advising him that the Unlteo
States has entered into relations with .he
government at Panama, and commehdlhs
to both governments of COLOMBIA ana
Panama "the peaceful and equitable settle
ment of all questions at issue between
them" The Colombian government, ac-
cording to Minister Beaupre, was disposed
tions, but the minister informed 1t That ne
regarded them self-explanatory.
Mr. Beaupre still appears confused ABOUT
the instructions sent to him regarding ms
leave of absence probably because OF the
delay in the receipt by him OF cablesrans
regarding the matter. He has been agaln
informed that he is at liberty 10 leaHe
Bogota whenever he desires. and 1t IS ex-
pected that he will take early advantage
of the opportunity.
Minister Varilla's Efforts.
Mr. R,nauVarilla the minister from
Panama. continued his efforts yesterday to
secure recognition of the new government
nv the European nations. Twice he saw NJ
Jusserand the French ambassador, IN that
behalf and last night NJ Varitla expressed
the opinion that France soon Will accord
the recognition desired. The french gov
ernment is anxious that the republic OF
Panama shall guarantee to the faiia,ila
Canal Company and the French citizens i'll
terested therein all the rights, privileges,
etc, now held by them. This govern neht IS
desired before any steps looking 70 'ne
recognition by France is given ana M.
Varilla has cabled his government for au-
thority to make such representations.
He received a long cablegram from
Panama yesterday expressing thanks ina. ks so ~
courtesy in offering the privileges of Unted
States warships to General Reyes on ms
arrival at the Isthmus of Panama, should
and two other Colombian generals are re-
ported to have gone to Panama from
Bogota on peace commission. The cable
gram says the greatest enthusiasm exists
throughout the republic of Panama over
the reception given to it's minister here and
to the recognition of the new republic. The
addresses of NJ. Varilla and of President
Roosevelt when the former presented MS
credentials have been published in the
various papers of the country.
The same cablegram gave authority to
Minister Narila to make representa- tionS to
the foreign representatives here necessary
to effect a speedy recognition of the new
republic. The minister has suggested to his
government that it clothe the commission
row on its way from Panama with such
powers but the officials there preferred
that the minister should exercise these Of
fees, as he already possesses diplomatic
functions
Minister Bunau-Varilla called at the Rus
sian embassy Saturday evening and mad a
long interview with Count CaSsini, dean of
the diplomatic corps, who was asked to
lend his assistance in securing recognition
of the new republic. To simplify the efforts
in this direction, Minister Bunau-Varilla
urged his government to clothe the COM
missioner, now on it's way to Washington,
with special powers to make such repre-
sentations to the foreign representatives
here will effect a speedy recognition of
the republic. By this means, it is
stated. the necessity for sending a repre-
sentative of Panama to each of the foreign
charged with the QuIy OIL securing
recognition will be obviated.
Hopeless for Reyes.
In official circles here the opinion is ex-
pressed that the commission consisting of
Generals Reyes, Holguin and Ospina, which
has started on peace commission to Pan
ANA, is embarked on hopeless task 1t is
now too late 1t is said, for anything in the
direction indicated in a dispatch to be ac-
complished. 1t is felt certain here that
n I'M will ,ot t,aa A.
them, as, said one official, it is not likely
that the isthmians will care to become
again part of the Colombian government.
All the commissioners are men well known
IN Colombia. General Reyes is the presi-
dental 'desfgnado;" General Holguin is the
brother Of former president and has been
member OF the cabinet and of the SEN
ate, and General OSpia, the son of a former
president, Is now a senator and a young
man of great activity in political affairs.
In order that the contemplated mission
or Gen. Reyes may not be accompanied by
any unpleasant incidents, Secretary Hay
has determined to accord Gen. Reeves the
courtesies of a warship upon his arrival at
the 1sthmus, should he desire to go aboard
one. 1t also was arranged by Secretary
Hay that warship shall be especially as
signed to the government of Panama on
which it's officials may hold conferences
with the Colombian representative should
they desire to do SO.
The Mayhower at Colon.
The State Department received informa-
tion last night that the Presidents yacht,
the Mayfiower, has arrived at Colon with
Admiral John G. Walker, the president of
the isthmian canal commission, who is to
make an investigation of affairs on the
1sthmus and report to the President; Rear
Admiral Coghlan, who is to assume COM
mand of the American fleet on the Atlantic
side of the isthmus and Consul General
Gudger, who is clothed with diplomatic
powers The Mayfiower made a rapid run
to Colon, having steamed the 1890 miles
between Washington and that place since
a week ago yesterday.
Rear Admiral Glass has cabled the Navy
Department, under date Of Panama, No
vember II, that the British ships Quito and
Manavi sailed from Buenaventura on their
regular voyage unmolested, and that their
captains upon arrival at Panama reported
there were few Colombian troops at Bue-
