possible means of approaching Pan

News received by cable from Buena
Ventura says that all is quiet there
and that there is no indication on he

move troops in any direction. The
Colombian gunboat Bogota, which is
still at Buena Ventura without coal, is
considered quite harmless. The Unit

Atlanta Sent to the Scene.
Washington, Dec. 9.-The dispatch
of the cruiser Atlanta to the Gulf of
Darien is of great Importance and in

from Colon of the departure of Colon

close touch with developments in the
Colombian situation originating Il and
about the vicinity of Cartagena, from
which place it is rumored the soldiers
are to march on the isthmus. Naval
officials decline to say whether the
dispatch of the Atlanta to the Gulf of
Darien is the result of any %intimations
of warlike operations on the part of

1.-THE impassability of the country to be
traversed. Nevertheless the departure
of the vessel is regarded as signif-
cant as indicating the intention of the
officials Of the United States to be on
the alert.
To the Colombians in Washington
the reports from Colon produced a
mystefying effect. They will not say
whether they believe the rumors or
not.
Perhaps it is so. I do not know"

shoulders. The Colombians believe
there are three thousand or more sol.
diers at Cartagena and at the various
points along the %seacoast available
Tor such a purpose as that stated in
the dispatch from Colon should the
government desire to use them.
