TROOPS NOT NECESSARY,
Third Infantry VIII Probably Not
Be Sent to Panama.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Admiral Walk
er, who will be president OF the new
Panama canal commission, does not
approve of the immediate use Of United
states regular troops on the isthInus.
He has told the president that 800 or
400 marines will serve all present needs
in that quarter. This may affect the
orders to the Third infantry to proceed
to the isthmus.
Lieutenant General Chaffee had Sc
leeted that regiment ia relieve the ma
rines on the isthmus at the instance Of
the navy department. But that re-
quest was based upon the supposition
that it would be necessary to continue
the force on the isthmus at its present
strength Of about 1000 men. The ma
rines were wanted elsewhere. some at
Guantanamo and some in the Philip
pines and the department could not
STARE the 1,490 men who had been
guarding the line of the Panama rail-
road, but when the demand for guards
was reduced to 400. this could be grant
ed and the war department was SO in
| formed. The Third infantry had been
notified to be in readiness for service
on the isthmUs. but final orders had
/ rot been given. That is the present sit
uation: the Third stands ready TO 20
to Panama whenever troops are re-
quired there.

JAPANESE REPORTS.
Slightly Different Account From
Preceding Ones.


Toxic Feb. z7.-The official report of the
naval officers who attempted to block
the entrance to the harboT Of Port At
thur ON the morning Of Feb. Il differs IN
some respects from the accounts already
printed. From this report II appears That
the Russian searchlights discovered the
approach Of five japanese steamers De-
fere they had reached the point WiIefe "
was proposed to sink them. and that the
Russian guns disabled three of the five.
Another new feature is that portion Of
the crews Of the s1nken steamers were
TOT picked up until the afternoon OF the
18th. The report Of the officers, IN sub
stance, is as follows.
1--WE vessels intended TO obstruct the en-
trance to Port Arthur advanced about

the southwark through the LaO-Ihie-

which was in the van, was steefed too

three miles to the southwark OF shore
she was shot and seriously damaged. she
was run on the shoals Intentionally. The

Admiral Togo is now about 30 years

manned by the Satsuma, iH the same
way that the japanese army was

men from all over the empire are to be

With excellent effect. Returning to
Japan, he was employed in various ca

tween China and japan, he was in COM
mand Of the NaniWa, a cruiser of $3.50
tons, one of the vessels comprising
what was then known as the First
Flying squadron of the japanese navy.
During the war he greatly distin-
guished himself and earned the repu-
tation of being first-class fighting
man.
It was in connection with the episode
of the sinking OF the Kowshing that
his name first came into worldwide
prominece. At the time some adverse
criticisms of his action or that Occs-
sion We're heard; but these died away

New York, Feb. 21.-It was announced
=in the Associated Press dispatches from

inquiries 10 the government as 10
whether permission could be secured TO
land on the island of Guam a cable
connecting with Japan. This cable
would connect at Guam with the pres
ent Pacific Commercial cable to the
United States. It was said that the
request was based on the apprehension
That the existing japanese cables, both
OF which run 10 Shanghai, might be cut
during the present hostilides and Ja-
pan thus be isolated from the world
In considering the request the govern
ment was said TO have reached the con-

ground that a cable is a commercial

company made on behalf of Japan TO
land a cable on the island Of Guam TO
connect at that point with the Ameri-
can cable. Last evening the president,
Secretary Hay and Secretary Taft had
a conference on the subject. As here
tofore indicated. the question Of the
neutrality Of this government in the

factor in the consideration Of the ap-
