| Washington, Nov. 7.-The events of
Friday as they developed here rela-
tive to the situation on the isthmus
were the recognition of the de facto
government at Panama; the receipt
of dispatches from Commander Hub
bard, of the Nashville; the arrival in
Washington of Consul General Gud-
ger, of Panama, and the issue of or
ders to Admiral Coghlan to proceed
consul general.
Commander Hubbard cabled that
the Colombian government troops un-
der Gems. Torres and Tovar, $50
strong at Colon, had departed on
merchant vessel. He stated that the
isthmus from one side to the other
was in the hands of the revolutionists.
This statement is of the greatest i'm
portance.
The United States government be-
ing bound by treaty to maintain or
der and preserve free traffic across
the isthmus, is now under the obliga-
tion to prevent any hostile collisions
either along the line of the Panama
railway or at the termini, Panama
and Colon. Thus, the future attitude
the new republic of Panama becomes
of little Importance, for it is prac-
tically impossible for it to go to war
with Panama. Officials here familiar
with the country declare that it is
impossible to move n Colombian army
overland to the isthmuS, owing to
the character of the country.
Panama, Colombia, Nov. 7.-Gen. H.
o. Jetfries, graduate of West Point,
who was appointed commander of the
Pacific tiotilla by the provisional gov
ernment of the republic of Panama,
has left here on board the gunboat
Padilla with orders to capture the
Bogota.
Washington, Nov. 1O.-Embarl,ing
of Colombian troops from Buena Ven
tufa or any other Colombian port for
the isthmus will not be permitted by
the Washington government and
American warships will be ordered
to any port upon receipt of an intima-
ton that Colombian troops will at
tempt to sail for the isthmus. The
Washington government holds that
this policy is in the interest of the
general good.
Secretary Hay, during call at the
White House yesterday placed in the
hands of the president the Colombian
protest against the course pursued by
the Washington government on the
isthmus and its attitude toward the
new government of Panama.
The protest came to Secretary Hay
from DR.. Herran, the Colombian
charge, and was duly acknowledged
in brief note. The protest is short
and to the point.
Washington, Nov. 11.-Upon receipt
of a report by the state department
that several British vessels were to
be chartered by the Colombian gov
ernment to take troops from Buena
Ventura to the isthmus, the navy de-
partment yesterday ordered the Bos-
ton to proceed off Buena Ventura
and in the event that the troops
start for the isthmus their COM
manders will be informed that they
cannot land. The navy department
announces that no attempt will be
made to interfere with British ves-
sells on the high seas.
The navy department is advised
that Rear Admiral Glass, command
ing the Pacific station, arrived at
Panama yesterday with the cruiser
Marblehead and the gunboat Con-
cord, having made quick run from
Acapulco. Their consort, the moni-
tor Wyoming, was not able to keep
up with the two other vessels and
probably will not reach Panama be-
fore Thursday. BY virtue of his
rank, Admiral Glass will have SUI
preme command over the naval
forces in the vicinity of Panama and
in case of a juncture of the forces at
Panama and Colon he would have
command of all operations.

last to capture that place in the
name of the new republic of Pana-
ma has returned here and the Off
GERS report that the place was cap
tured and the flag hoisted without a
) shot being fired.
The provisional government of
Panama has received telegram from
| President Marroquin, of Colombia,
, giving assurances that the Panama
canal bill would most certainly pass
congress next August and that Gen.
: Reyes was on his way to the isthmus
| to make proposals looking to peace
and the saving of the national honor.
The provisional government has
sent letter to Gen. Reyes, which
will reach him on his arrival at Sava-
} nilla, advising that it is useless for
} him to come to Panama, as his mis-
Sion is hopeless one.
Panama, Nov. 11.-Dr. Manuel
Amador, FREDERICK Boyd and Carlos
Arosemana, left yesterday for Wash
ington with instructions from the
provisional government to negotiate
q canal treaty with the government
I of the United States. DIR. Amador is
20 years old, yet it was largely ow-
! ing to his daring and great energy
! that the independence of the isthmus
was proclaimed.
