A CURRENT NOR

Officials Of the State Department Will
Make No Statement-Alleged Mis-
direction of Dispatches.

Rumors that through blunder some
where in cabling between Colon and New
York evidence has appeared that the demo-
cratic national committee has been trying
to foment trouble on the Isthmus of Pam
anna have been current for the past week.
The officials of the State Department will
make no statement whatever for publica-

subject which would go toward confirming

c1phered and showed that Clifford H.

troubles, and, failing in his purpose there.
had gone to Bogota to collect campaign
material for the democracy from the Co.
| lombian officials, who are still sore at the
separation of Panama.
Now it can be stated that while the State
Department has heard stories of the pres
| ence of agents of the democratic committee
| on the isthmus, it has not learned that the
rumorS were true. for, in the first place,
| the occasion for investigation If there were

| Secretary Hay which. as calculated, result

kind, that up to date he has no facts
before him sufficient to establish beyond
