ina Both Sides the lsthmus.
(By the Associated Press.)

Colon, Dec 7.-Folowing instructions
received December Ath. from the Navy
Department at Washington. United States
gunboats on both sides of the isthmus,
have started or are starting on recon-
noitering expeditions along the coasts,
principally in the direction of Colombia,
for the purpose Of ascertaiping the con-
diton of the trails and roads between
the Panama and Colombia frontiers, the
facilities of the country for sustaining eX-
petitions marching on Panama and to
generally determine the United States best
course of action in case of a Colombian
invasion of the isthmus, and also to learn
the attitude of the various Indian tribes
inhabiting both coasts
The United States cruiser Atlanta has
gone to San Bias for this purpose, and
probably will continue to the Gulf Of
Darian. Another vessel will be sent to
San Miguel, on the Pacific, and third to
David, also on the Pacific. but towards
Costa Rica. to look over the local condi-
tons at Chiriuui and make a show Of
force if it is thought necessary, and study
the possibility of Colombia's landing small
schooner expeditions ct ChiriqIi from
Southern points.
The panamaian authorities are aiding
these efforts They have sent out sew
eral parties on both sides of the isthmus
to seek information and watch possible
movements on the part of Colombia. One
such party was sent out from Colon in a
small sloop, which was probably lost near
MeaTnar, on the San Bias coast. The
boat was found bottom upward and its
occupants are missing.
No reports have yet been received from
these parties to indicate that any warlike
movements are taking place.

SELLS WH|SKEY
To STUDENTS
Negro Bound Over to
Federal Court.
SOLD TWO BARRELS.
Purchasers Of the Whiskey Were
Wake Forest Students, Mill Hands
and Farmers, who Refused
to Prosecute the
Negro.

United States Commissioner John Mich
OILS had an interesting case before him Sat
urday night. Simon Porcher, clever
looking negro man, thirty-five years old,
had been detected in retailing liquor with
out license, and was arrested Saturday at
ternoon by Deputy Marshall Merritt
For several months the community of
Wake Forest and the inhabitants of that
vicinity have been wondering how and
where so many people of that locality had
secured their whiskey. But it has an
noyed not only those people, but
source OF satisfaction there when it was
announced on Saturday evening that the
guilty party had teen caught and
was being carried to Raleigh.
Deputy Marshal Merritt made the cap
ture. Knowing that twelve years ago
Porcher had been jailed for retailing Ii
quor without license, he began some time
ago to watch the man, but in vain. He
saw plenty of men with whiskey, but none
would give Porcher away, and Officer Mer-
ritt could net detect Porcher either III a
deal or with any whisSey. Saturday,
however, the game broke, and Mr.. Mer-
rift put Porcher under arrest and brought
him directly to Raleigh, reaching here just
before nightfall. Porcher did not want to
spend the night in Jail, asked for an
immediate trial AS many as four wit
nessas had been secured at that time, so
the trial was held.
The evidence produced showed that he
lad shipped during the past two months
over two barrels of whiskey to Wake
Forest and sold that amount to various
parties living in that vicinity.
Porcher was found guilty and placed IN
der $500 bond for his appearance at this
term of Federal court. He gave bond in
that amount.
