PANAMA REPORTS QUIET
No Signs of Colombian ActiUity-
Nicara guam Recognition.

Panama jan 1.-The situation this side OF
the isthmus is quiet and satisfactory TO the
naval authorities. Reports from Daren Up to
last night give no evidence OF Colombian activ-
ity or the presence of Colombians in Panaman
territory. Darien miners who came here a fort
night ago have returned there to resume work.
The thirty American marines and bluejackets
who remain at Yaviza have artillery and two
armed launches with which they are patrolling
the rivers. Panaman soldiers continue scouting
from Yaviza through the Darien district The
United States cruiser Boston is in San Miguel
ming is having target practice. and the Concord
and Marblehead are both at Panama
The Yaviza and Real Santa Maria outposts
were materially reduced because there was no
necessity to keep large forces there. They are
simply observation outposts and thirty men
do the work
Persons best informed concerning the military
situation along the Darien frontier do not ex-
pect any Colombian aggression for the present
They are of the opinion that the situation is
likely to remain 1t is at present until the
canal treaty is approved by the Congress OF
the United States, until General Reyes re-
turns from Washington This opinion prevails.
Notwithstanding reports of concentration or
Colombian troops at Barranquflla and the fact
that Colombia doubtless is moving troops tow
ard the Atrato River.
The disturbed internal conditions OF Colom-
bia are thought TO give sufficient reason for
these movements of Colombian troops, but the
naval authorities are in nowise remittins their

RUSSIA REJECTS OFFERS
Continued from first page.

Neldof, and the japanese Minister NJ Montono
were among the listeners to the Presidents re-
marks. and consequently the report that Russia
had decided not to grant Japan's proposals was
somewhat lnexplicable at the japanese Legation.
io-hsht Minister MontOno received number
Oh MS countrymen and officials. The entrance
OF the legation was decorated with large Japan
csc nass. When asked regarding the utter
ances OF Baron Hayashi Minister Montono said
Ihat certainly no such report emanated from
him. and that he the usual medium for adj
vices of that character to his colleague in Lon
don. He remarked that, on the contrary, the
day had passed without advices having been re-
ceived. and that the status of the situation con-
tnued to be the awaiting of Russia's reply.
When asked for his views on the outlook for
the maintenance Of peace Minister Montono
asked 10 be excused from replying. saying that
the situation too delicate TO permit him TO
express his views possible results.
1t is said in a we'll informed quarter here that
France would have no right officially TO commu-
nicate Russias reply to Japan, and it is added
that the reply has not yet been framed and that
1t Is expected it will be presented to the Japan
csc government through Baron de Rosen, the
Russian Minister at Toxic.
AT the same time it has been known here for
the last few days that Russias attitude has been
changing, a result Of the belIicose policy
which Japan is pursuing. and that Russia is
disnclined to make the concessions which would
have been possible it is asserted. had Japan
adopted more conciiatory course.
1t is reiterated that If there is any breaking
off of relations Japan. not Russia will take the
initial step. The information of the Japanese
Minister in London therefore is in line gener-
ally with that which the diplomatic corps here
has been in possession of for several days.
What is regarded here az significant ex-
change Of kilograms occurred to-day between
General kouropatkin. the Russian War Minis
ter, and General Andre. the French Minister of
War The Russian Minister telegraphed TO Cen
eral Andre his wishes for the happiness and
prosperity OF himself and the French army for
the new year. In reply General Andre referred
to the friendship which united the two armies
and which strikngIy shows itself in all cir
cumstances." and concluded with extending cor
dial wishes for the prosperity and greatness OF
the Russian army.

London. jan 2-The Far Eastern situation is
