TORPEDO BOAT ,FLoTILLA.
Vessels Will Leave for Philippines
Next Saturday.

Lieut. Lloyd H. Chandler, commanding
the first torpedo boat fotilla, was at the
Navy Department today receiving his
final instructions regarding the cruise of
that f1otilla to Manila for service on the
Asiatic station The hotilla is composed
of the following named torpedo boat de-
stroyers: Decatur, Bainbridge, Barry,
Dale and Chauncey. These vessels are all
of the same type, having 420 tons dis
placement and 5000 indicated horse
power. Each vessel has twin screws and
carries two guns in its secondary battery.
Each has been thoroughly tested and re-
ported to be capable of making the long
runs required on the voyage, and capable,
also. of weathering all ordinary storms.
AS a result of Lieut.. Chambers confer
partment it was decided that the fiotilla
shall start from Hampton roads next
Saturday and that 1t shall be conveyed as
far Key West by the cruiser Balti-
more, now at Norfolk, and conveyed the
remainder of the trip from Key West to
Manila by the converted cruiser Buffalo,
now fitting out at New York for the
voyage. The members OF the naval board
Of inspection and survey will accompany
the f1otilla on the run from Hampton
roads to Port Royal and Key West and
will return to Hampton roads on the
cruiser Baltimore. 1t was said at the
bureau Of navigation today that the OBJ
ject of having the inspection board ac-
company the fotilla to Key West is.

INDIANA EDITORS VIEWS.
Of Two Hundred Republicans No One
Outspoken Against Roosevelt.

Speoial Dispatch to The Evening Star
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. December 9.-Two
hundred republicans, including editors Of
many Of the county organs Of the state, in
answer to queries from a newspaper today
are divided on the question of Roosevelt
being candidate and as to the advisability
of putting forward an Indiana candidate.
None of them, however. are outspoken,
against Roosevelt. A few suggest that
Roosevelt might make Indiana sure by
taking Durbin on the ticket with him,
because 1t Is generally conceded that
Durbin has strong political following and
machine in Indiana. The Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune's Saturday editorial is
causing much of the talk.
The most pronounced man in the state
for Roosevelt is Senator Beveridge, who
says 1t is silly to think that any one else
would be a candidate and much silBer to
think that Indiana would support any one
but Roosevelt.
Thaddeus Butler. editor Of the Hunting
ton Herald. is certain that Roosevelt will
be reelected. He says: Reports appear
at intervals of few politicians having
reached the conclusion that some other
candidate should be brought out to con-
test with President Roosevelt for the re-
publican nomination next year. 1t will be
noted that in all these reports the con-
spirators are wise enough to let the job out
to some one else No one Of them has any
appetite for undertaking 1t himself Their
discretion appears wise, as 1t would be
heavy undertaking for any candidate to re-
verse the decree already issued by the re-
publican hosts of the United States that
President Roosevelt shall be his own sue
cessor."

COLOMBIAN TROOPS.
Gen. Reyes Did Not Order Them to
Panama.

DR. Herran the Colombian charge
d'affaires, today authorized the statement
that IL troops from Cartagena have landed
near the mouth of the Atrato river, as re-
ported by the French steamer which has
arrived at La Guaira, it Is directly in op-
position to the advice of both himself and
Gen. Reyes.
Gen. Rafael Reyes, envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentIary Of Colombia.
on special mission to the United States, to-
day made the statement that the La Guaira
dispatch was the first information he had
received of the reported movement of Co
lombian troops.
He declared however, that If 1t is true,
as stated, that such movement has taken
place, 1t was without any orders from him.
Temporarily Relinquished Command.
Since his arrival in Washington as the
special representative of the Colombian
government, Gen. Reyes has temporarily
relinquished the command of the Colombian
aTmy. the duties falling upon Gen. Castro,
second in command Gen. Reyes confirmed
the statement recently made by Admiral
Coghlan in a report to the Navy Depart
ment that prior to his departure for Wash
fngton he had given instructions to the
Colombian troops to make no hostile dem
oLstraton until he was heard from, and
said that these troops were now awaiting
orders, which, however, would not come
from him direct but from the government
at Bogota.
Asked to the probable length of his
stay in the United States, he replied that it
was indefinite. He would. he said. hold an
other conference with Secretary Hay in the
course Of the next few days.
Protection of Isthmus
The general has been at last fully in
formed by the President himself as to the
intentions Of the government of the United
States respecting the isthmus He was told
by the President that, as was set out in the
Presidents message to Congress, the
United States had finally determined to
maintain the Independence of the new re-
public OF Panama against all comers.
While this guarantee is contained in a
treaty now pending before the United
States Senate, and yet unratifed, the
administration has for some time past been
acting upon the theory that the under
standing is in full force. Therefore all
necessary preparations have been made to

On tho Dividing Line.
News has reached Washington of the
reported movement of Colombian troops to-
ward the isthmus, but all OF these reports
come in a roundabout manner that throws
doubt upon their reliability.
The point on the Gulf Of Darien where
the Colombian troops are reported to have
landed is believed to be just about on the
dividing line between the territory of Pan
anna and Colombia, and II is probable that
they will not actually GROSS the border
without further instructions from Bogota
which In turn will depend upon the reports
made to the Colombian government by Gen.
Reyes and by the two commissioners, Jimi-
nez and Blanco. who left Washington two
days ago on their return to Cartagena.
A current report is to the effect that
Colombian naval vessels are participating
in the movement toward the isthmus, but It
Is said at the Navy Department that they
