Colombia Believes Panama Is
Trying to Embroil Her in
War With Venezuela.
UNITED STATES MIXED IN Il
Occupation Of Jurado Was Advised by
America-Castro Plans to
Grab Territory.

Cartagenia, Colombia, May G.
The government at Colombia has rea;
son to believe that the government at
Panama is intriguing with Venezuela
to declare war upon this country. 1t
is known that the occupation of Jura,
do, which is on the Atrato river, the
boundary line between Panama and
Colombia, has angered the Panama
government.
The occupation Of Jurado was done
on the advice of the American gov,
eminent, which held that it was clear,
ly within Colombian territory. The
attitude of the government of Pana-
ma has given the United States a
good deal of solicitude. One of Secre,
tary Taft's chief missions to Panama
is to try and adjust the matter.
It is believed that the American
government is aware of the effort Of
Panama to induce Venezuela to make
war upon Colombia.
Two Disputes Pending.
Two boundary disputes enter into
the situation.
Castro wants strip of Colombian
territory on the east and Panama, &C,
cording to the Colombians, is seeking
to despoil Colombia of certain terri
tory along the Atrato river, which in
cludes the town Of Jurado. Venezue-
las claim, or rather demand, is that
Colombia cede her very material
part of the Goadjira peninsula, down
the center of which the present boun-
Diary now runs, as we'll as a certain
area in the vicinity of Cucuta.
On the other hand. Panama desires
to extend her territorial holdings to
embrace a section of the Atrato river
and an area of territory which in
cludes Jurado.
Troops Sent to Jurado.
When Colombia heard of these as
pirations she sent troops to Jurado for
the purpose of bringing this matter to
an issue.
Panama, it is declared, would like
to embroil Colombia with Venezuela
on the eastern frontier, as such an
outcome would give her better
chance to force her claim for terrific
rial extension upon the western from
tier.
