WHERE is THAT ARMY?
Did Panama Snore and Dream or Hear
a Conch She'll Roar?
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 10-Nothlng OF an
official character concerning the report
ed moement of Colombian troops upon
the isthmus has been received at the
State Department since the reports that
came yesterday from Venezuelan ports
indicating that such movement was on
foot, nor has the minister from Panama
amy information on this point.
AT the Navy Department it was an
Inounced that the Marine contingent on
the isthmus would be REINFORCED by 300
men now on the Prairie, orders having
been sent to Admiral Barker, commanding
the North Atlantic squadron, now at
Guantanamo, to dispatch the Prairie to
the isthmus. She will leave tomorrow
and viii reach Colon by Monday next.
1t is felt that thus reinforced the marines
now on the isthmus will be fully com
petent to preserve order and prevent any
invasion.
Washington Dec. 10.-Cablegrams re-
ceived today by General Rafael Reyes,
the Colombian minister, and by DR.. Her
ran, the Colombian secretary of legation
are pacific in tenor and the officials of
the Colombian Legation are inclined to
believe that the Colombian people are
obeying the final instructions of General
Reyes, their commander-in-chief, who be-
fore leaving his country, issued an order
that no hostile movement was to be made
against the United States or Panama
pending the completion of his mission.
General Reyes has cabled the Bogota
government setting forth very explicitly
the true situation here. He has not
attempted in his advices toob the fact
that there is no hope of prevailing on
| the United States to retrace its steps on
the isthmus. The only possible result
General Reyes could bring about here
as he has officially informed the Bogota
government, would be the securing Of
satisfactory peace terms with the new
republic

HEARD ON THE BOIL WEEvIL.
He Indicates a Plan to Check Them il
His Message.
(By the Associated Press.)

New Orleans, La, Dec. 10.-Governor
Heard, in his message to the special SEES
sion of the Legislature which convened
at Baton Rouge today for the purpose of
discussing the boil weevil situation and
passing necessary laws to check the
weevil, said:
1.-THE weevil first coming from Mexico,
has now spread across the State of
Texas and this year has injured the cot
ton crop of that State, according to va
rious estimates from $15,000,0 900 to $780,
100000. If a check is not found it is only
a question of time when louisiana and
the entire cotton belt will become a
prey to it's ravages. AS to the law 70
be passed by the special session, a sepa-
rate board of commissioners with plenary
powers may be appointed or the State
Board of Agriculture may be authorized
to carry into effect any laws that may
be passed. My own opinion is that the
work may be done by creating a board
OF commissioners composed of the Com
missioner of Agriculture, the director OF
experiment stations, the State entomolo-
gist and two prominent and practical cot
ton planters"
A bill carrying these suggestions into
effect was introduced and will probably
be passed.
