MARINES START INLAND.

A company of marines from the
United States cruiser Prairie landed at
Colon yesterday morning under the
command of Capt. Smedley d. Butler
and Immediately started by train in the
direction of Panama. The destination
of the marines, is said to be Yaviza, up
the San Miguel Gulf and Turia river.
1t is believed that the decision of the
naval authorities to station marines &C
Yaviza is owing to the reports that
Colombian troops have been seen in that
direction, but up to the present time
there is no reason to believe that any
large force of Colombians is under or
ders to march on Panama from Cauca.
The opinion seems to prevail that the
few Colombian soldiers seen were prob
ably scouts who were trying to learn
what preventive and protective measures
were being taken by the Republic of
Panama. 1t is likely that the move
ment of marines to Yaviza is in con-
fOrmity with the policy of the United
States naval authorities to concentrate
forces at points which offer the best
facilities for getting immediate infor-
nation of any movement by Colombian
troops toward Panama and at the same
time affording the marines some relief
from their confinement on the ships.
The marines carried with them all re-
quisites for camp life and also a number
of machine guns.

THEGOAT.

A versatile member OF the ST. LOUIS
publicity staff, Mr.. w. @. McCarty' Is
authority for the following statement;
"Tbe Goat is going to butt into popular
favor at the Worlds Fair. The sheep
and goats will be separated, and compar-
isons that NAV be made are sure to win
for the goat the high place that he has
merited for many centuries, but which
ne has been debarred from possessing be-
cause of popular but unfounded pre-
iudice. The Exposition authorities
have done wisely in determining to ex-
plot the goat aud goats milk at the
Worlds Fair A well-ted goat gives the
richest and heaIthiest milk in the world.
All southern Europe, parts OF Africa,
and Asia use it in preference TO COW s
milk. 1t would be entirely feasible Tor
goat industries to spring up in every
southern state, especially, where the ell
mate is like that of the countries border
inr on the Mediterranean. During re.
cent visits to Italy, Greece, Algiers, Spain
and Turkey saw great many nerds OF
goats and learned to likes goats milk. In
Naples there is a gatherc who drives
about forty goats into the city every
morning. Several of the goats are so
clever that when they arrive at the house
whose inmates they are accustomed to
serve, the goat appOrtioned to that par
ticular house walks in and allows herself
TO be MIXED. One of these goats had to
climb to the third story of NeoPolitan
tenement house which she did without
compulsion, furnishing the family with
a quart of rich warm milk. One MORN
ing in Patras, the pretty seaport OF the
Morea, | was awakened by the sound OF
a flute playing a soft, pastoral melody
under the window | looked out and
saw a countryman followed by a large
herd of goats. The flute and the animals
stopped at the entrance and one of the
walters MIXED several goats. Then the
music started and the goats marched OIL
up the street."
