On The Atlantic side all the war
ships except two will proceed north
fifty marines under Major Cole will
leave on Tuesday for Guantanamo.
The belief is that they will proceed
later to San Domingo.
Despite Colombia's internal disturb
ances, letters just received from
there declare that the Colombians are
ready to fight as soon IS the news
arrives that the treaty has been rati.
fed. One general at Cartagena is
quoted as saying that if the govern
ment does not declare war the troops
on the border will invade Panama
anyhow.
The information from the coast is
that another regiment has been sent
from Catragena to the frontier. Han
of the 1000 soldiers sent out to Titu-
matt have been moved up the Darien
coast toward Panama.
1t is known now that lnanquaina,
the San Bias chief, has visited Titu-
matt three or four times. American
officers have given him notice that the
big canoes he has collected near the
frontier, if used to transport Colon

wished peace.
On account of the feeling of the
