which it has practically been for the
past two weeks. There have been no
evidences at Colon that Colombian
forces from Titumalia or elsewhere are
Undertaking any movement. either BY
sea or land, with view to invading Pan
amanian territory. The system Of scout
ing by Indian and Panamanian soldiers,
which is being maintained along the
frontier and on the Atlantic and Pacific
sides of the isthmus, would result in
news OF any Colombian activity quickly
reaching the United States naval au-
thorities at Panama and Colon. The
only Colombian troops which are known
to be near Panamanian territory are
those under the command OF Gen. Daniel
Ortiz, at Titumati, and which are various
ly estimated at between 1900 and $500
men. The camp has been established
for the past six weeks and was discov-
cred by the United States cruiser At
lanta when Gen. Orriz was Interviewed
by Lieut.. Perrill. Gen. Ortiz men un-
doubtedly have secuted toward Pana-
manian territory, but the most careful
examinations conducted by the naval
authorities have failed to reveal their
presence, in military sense, at any time
upon the territory of the new republic.
