petition and plat of survey which af-

these papers were filed. yet they have
never been questioned because of the
omission in the records.

Atlanta, Lieut.. Perrill went back to the
schooner, which in the meantime had
taken up position off beach within
| a small bay.
! Great excitement prevailed among
the Colombians on the whaleboat's ap-
proach. There were repeated cries of
viva Colombia" and there was sud
den concentration of $50 Colombian
soldiers on the beach.
Situation Appeared Dangerous.
For some moments the situation ap-
peared dangerous and had the appear
ance of an ambuscade Gen. Ortiz ap-
peared on the beach when Lieut.. Per-
ril should fly the Colombian flag at the
bow of the whaleboat, or lower the
American flag at her stern, because she
was in Colombian waters. Lieut.. Per-
rill replied that he did not have a Col
ombian flag and refused to lower the
Stars and Stripes. Gen. Ortiz did not
insist upon his so doing, but he pro-
tested in writing against the presence
of the Americans in Colombian waters.
Lieut. Perrill accepted the protest and
conveyed it to Commander Turner,
who handed it TO Rear Admiral Cogh-
ian on his arrival here.
During the conference with the Col
ombians ashore, Lieut.. Perrill was sur
rounded by Gen. Ortiz's staff while in
land a few PAGES there was a semi
circle of armed sentinels. The
-, INo+I, ma I;rnl
by sentinels Gen. Ortiz did not per-
NIT Lieut.. Perrill to leave the point
of the beach where he landed. While
Perrill was awaiting the Colombian
protest, First Lieut. Edward B. Man
waring, commanding the marine guard
of the Atlanta, rowed up in a cutter
for the purpose of communicating with
Lieut.. Perrill and to gain certain mil
itary information. Lieut.. Manwaring
went ashore and the cutter Joined the
whaleboat off the beach.
Ready for War.
Lie IT. Perrill returned to the At
lama at o'clock in the afternoon.
Lieut.. Manwaring, before returning
pulled in the cutter along the coast,
observing the Colombians' camp.
Later in the day Gen. Ortiz requested
the Atlanta to leave.
The Colombian camp appeared to be
permanent, was well provisioned and
probably destined to be used as a base
of operations. Gen. Ortiz and others
freely expressed the determination of
Colombia to fight to the bitter end in
case Gen. Reyes visit to Washington
is not successful and Panama is not re-
turned TO Colombia.

AMERICAN SHIP DISCOVERS SOL
DIERs IN PROGRESS.
WAR DEPART MENT NOTIFIED
Washington Authorities Suppress Part
of Dispatch Telling of Exciting In
cident Near Panama-Colombians
Order American Forces to Clear
Out of Colombian Waters.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The navy de-
partment yesterday received a cable
gram from Rear Admiral Coughlin,
dated Colon, saying that the Atlanta
had returned from the Gulf of Darien
and had found about 500 Colombian
troops inland and between Tomato and
Tcrena island, who had been landed
by the Cartagana and the Kinzon. A
portion of the cablegram was sup
pressed.
Americans Meet colombians.
Colon, Dec. 1S.-The United States
cruiser Atlanta, Commander William
H Turner, returned here from the
gulf of Darien. She discovered Dec.
is a detachment of Colombian troops,
numbering usually about 500 men, but
according to their statements totalling
], 500 or 1000 men, at Titumati, 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 lat
ter protested energetically against
the presence of American warships in
Colombian waters, in so much as war
between Colombia and the United
States had not been declared and po-
litely requested the Atlanta to leave
the gulf because it belonged to Colon
bia. Commander Turner ignored the
request and the Atlanta returned to
Colon to report to Rear Admiral
Coughlan.
The Colombians are clearly busy
with protective and strengthening
measures. Although they treated the
Americans courteously they decidedly
resented the presence of the Atlanta's
landing party. The Colombian force
was composed partly of the men land
ed recently at the Atrato river by the
Colombian cruisers Cartagena ana
Gen. Pinzon.
How Army Was Discovered.
Early in the morning of December
Is. the Atlanta sighted a small schoon-
er i'm the center of the gulf of Darien
and followed her to the western shore,
where the schooner attempted to hide
behind an inlet. Lieut.. Harlan p. Per
rill of the Atlanta was ordered to board
her and thereupon a whaleboat was
lowered and pulled towards the schoon-
err Through the courtesy of the naval
officers the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press accompanied the party in
the whaleboat.
It was found that the schooner had
on board 100 armed Colombian sol
diers commanded by Gen. Rafael Move
who said Gen. Daniel Ortiz, comman'
der-in-chief of the Colombian forces OF
the Atlantic and the Pacific, had a
large camp a mile away on the main
land. Gen. Move requested Lieut.. Per
rill to land and confer with Gen
Ortiz.

WANT TO BE SHERIFF.

1t is understood that not less than
six people in Hilo are willing to serve
the county as sheriff and that fences
are already being repaired. Whether
the six will all run on the same ticket
or independent of party affiliations is
not stated. Nor has it been settled
that anyone outside of Hilo is to have a
try at it, AS such things are usually
settled in convention it may be well for
these gentlemen to wait and see how
the thing goes there. Ben Brown has
been talked of as a possible candidate,
but conditions are such that 1t is not
probable that he viii make fight.

vention will probably be made up of

1t is stated that the laying of wreaths
bearing the names of the King of Eng

coffin of the late Prince Komatsu, is
without precedent OF course foreign
sovereigns have instructed their repre-
