Precautionary Measures.

It is considered significant that the
point selected for the encampment Of
the Dixie's marines, while it IS the
highest and best so far as sanitary con-
ditons are concerned on the line OF
the Panama railroad, is also on the
trail most frequently used in the past
for the movement of troops from the
Cauca district into the Chiriqui dis
ret
The report Of the movement Of 5000
soldiers from Cartagena for the pur-
pose Of invading the isthmus can not

mcn,s may be looked for frequently,
particularly as the people Of the 18TH
mus are more or less excited by the
precautionary measures adopted by the
United States.

Ash Precautionary step.

The actual purpose of the United
States government in landing the ma
rines is, however probably connected
with the precautionary measures now
being carried out on both sides Of the
isthmus, and perhaps also for the
moral effect which the landing OF the
marines may have on the native gar
rison at Panama, the loyalty OF which,
though hitherto considered absolutely
answering, is considered doubtful in
some quarters, especially since the dis
coyery of a plot against the life Of
Gen Huertas commander-in-chie Of
the forces Of the republic of Panama,
and the alleged effort on the part OF a
few army officers to persuade the gar
rison to revolt.

Applicants for Naturalization PAPERS
Must Speak the English Lam

Albany. N. Y, Aug 6.-Judge Clifford
D. Gregory, in the county court, in re-
jecting so applications for naturaliza-
ton papers established precedent by
making the following declaration:
II will not naturalize any person who
comes before me and is unable to speak
the Engliush language sufficiently to
make himself understood l will COM
pei them to answer questions regarding
their age, place of nativity, when they
arrived in the United States, and other
questions which l deem essential to
good citizenship, and if they fail to make
satisfactory answers. l will refuse to
grant them necessary papers. When a
man has been in this country five years
and is unable to talk our language, in
my opinion he is not fit to be admitted
to citizenship, and will act according
w"
