EXPECT ATTACK.
At Colon 1t Is Believed COlOm-
bia Will Invade Panama.

Colon. Jan. 13.-United States naval
authorities here appear to be con-
vinced. from the tenor of the reports
which are continually brought in, that
Colombia is determined to send an
army to attack Panama.
The Panamanian authorities yester-
day received official confirmation of the
fact that the Colombian troops at Tit
umati number at least 1000 men, under
the command of Generals Ortiz, Tribe
Uribe, Bustament and Novo. These
troops are well armed and supplied with
ammunition, and have four guns, three
steam launches. and a large supply of
cattle. The district is an unQroductive
one, and the provisions and other sup
plies which the troops possess have
been brought to them from other
places. The government learned these
facts from a reliable informant at Tit
umati. who contriVeS to send news of
events from that distance to Colon by
means of signals and trustworthy mes
Sengers.
News has also been received that
the Indian chief Inanaquina returned
yesterday to Cartagena to interview
the Colombian officers regarding a re-
quest made by them for 800 Indian
cayuoces- (smal boats) to be used by
the army at Titumati in crossing
rivers

at Rio Manding, at the mouth of the

dred Panamanian soldiers in a report
sent in yesterday said he had no need
of more troops. The colonel said he had
already sent out scouts as far as Con-
ception to the east and Culebra to the
west who have confirmed the belief
that the mountain trails are so difficult

Colon on the steamer Herald for Nom

will send small boat to Mandikha

Tiburon. This expedition is likely to
be absent for two or three weeks, and

days Charles Kruger, who is sentenced
to be hanged next Thursday. 1t is sup
posed that the governor believes that
the prisoners sanity should be looked
into further
When told of the reprieve Kruger
raved and cursed the governor and
said: why should the governor keep
me in this awful suspense another
month. 1 would rather have some one
come in this cell and beat my brains
out than tell me such a thing. 1 have
been happy in the thought that it
would soon be over. My conscience is
free now, but 1 am afraid III go back
to the old way"
Judge Mcconnell, of the county court
granted a preliminary injunction to-
day restraining Sheriff Trescher from
issuing more than 20 tickets to the ex-
ecution of Kruger. 1t was alleged that
over 1000 passes had been given out.
