journey before Fraser conceived the
idea that he was the conductor Of the
TRAN. He tried to take up the trans
portatiOn and tickets Of the passen-
gers, threatening them with election
from the train. He had not disturbed
many Of the passengers before the con-
ductor was apprised Of the mans cOndi-
ton and Immediately took steps To pro-
tect the passengers from further an
ncyance When the train reached this

Minds.
Washington. Dec 12.-Consul Malm-
ros, from Colon, sends word to the
state department by cable that the cap
tain Of the French steamer which ar
rived at that port yesterday from Car
tagena reports that ne was Informed
By an official at that port that 500
Colombian soldiers had embarked on
the Colombian guRboats Cartagena and
General PinzOn, and sailed for the
mouth Of the Atrato river. The French
captains advice was dated Dec. 9,
and it is assumed that these were the
troops that since have abandoned the
projected campaign against Panama.
The French captain further reported
that the governor of Bolivar had re-
scinded the decree closing Cartagena,
and Savanilla to trade with Colon. The
reason he gives for his action IS re-
garded as having an important bear
ing on the future relations between
Colombia and Panama, because he says
that BogOta has decreed that the dis
pute shall be settled automatically.
This Is taken TO mean that there Will
be no hOstilities. 1t is thought that
this conclusion is the result of General
Reyes instructions.
