pare to proceed to Panama.

teenth infantry at Monterey, the Nine
tcenth infantry at Vancouver barracks,
the Tenth infantry at the conton-
ment at San Francisco, the Sixteenth
infantry at Fort Sterling N. Y, and Fort
Mcpherson, Ca, were also ordered in

army and an expert OH Notifications, has
been ordered to Panama to inspect the
Notifications and to have his report in
Washington before General Reyes Of the
Colombian army, who is now here, can re-
