COLOMBIAN TROOPS.
Many of Thorn Are Boys Under Sixteen
Years Of Age.

a Utah Battery officer who has been
on the lathinus, says II was a curious
sight to see the Columbian troops
drawn up in the plaza at Panama.
Many OF them We're boys OF u years
Of age who We're barely able to hold
up their guns without topping over
Themselves. These children did not
know enough TO run away from the fr-
ing line when the alleged troops OF the
revOlutionists would swoop down on
them, but remained where they were
and were shot down. Methods OF fight
ing down In that country are entirely
different from those obtaining among
white nations and are a good deal like
those observed among the Fiipinos.
The latter accused the United States
troops OF not fighting fair because they
refused to allow the native troops TO
retire TO their trenches 20 rest after
ilflng for q certain length OF time In
the field but swooped down on them
with a whoop, and cleaned out tho
entire nest"
