INVASION OF PERU
 BY COLOMBIAN TROOPS
May Further Complicate Ecuador and
 Peru Boundary Dispute.

Washington, Jan. 19.-If the invas- ion of Peruvian territory by the troops of Colombia, as reported in press despatches from Lima, is directed against any part of the area in dis pute between Ecuador and Peru, it is feared here that it may further complicate this troublesome boundary controversy. No advices have been received by the state department in regard to the reported invasion. The report from Lima stated that the ,in- vasion had been made in the region of the Yapura river. Ecuadors claims extend to this river, but do not follow it's entire course. There is no likeli- hood it is said, of trouble between Ecuador and Colombia over the dis puted territory. Since the separation of Ecuador from the mother country, Colombia, the rights of both repub- lies have been guaranteed and the boundary lines distinctly marked by comprehensive treaties.
 The territory in dispute is claimed by Ecuador to be part of the former domain of Colombia which was cedded by Colombia to Ecuador, and the lat ter country contends that her juris- diction extends many miles inland In fact about three-fourths of the area of Ecuador as outlined by that coun- try is involved in the dispute with Peru.

WAR DEPARTMENT REPORT
 ON MILITIA MANOEUvRES.
Connecticut Ressrves Showed Fair Proficiency = Recommendations for Future Encampments.
(spcciaI to The Bulletin.)

Special to The Bulletin.)
 Washington, Jan. 19.-The war de- partment has just issued a report or the joint army and militia coast de- fense exercises held last summer, with the recommendations of both the reg uIar army officers and the militia off, cers in charge of the -manoeuvres Lieut.. Col. w. c. Rafferty, commanding the artillery district of New London makes the report for Connecticut. lie states that the Connecticut reserves showed fair proficiency, the officers and men were zealous, and the disci- pline was excellent. He suggests that the field officers could be much im- proved by making themselves thor oughly familiar with the work required of each of their companies and by di- recting and supervising the drill and instruction.
 Colonel Rafferty recommends, for future encampments. that the exercises be continued during two weeks In. stead of one, as the probability of bad weather conditions will then be an- ticipated and discounted. Opportunity will also be given for a half day at athletics and for night drill. He also suggests that all companies be as- signed to Fort H. G. Wright, as fol- lows: Two companies to mortars, four companies to 10-inch guns, four com panies to 12-inch guns, and three com-
 
 shower baths, f1oored kitchens and doors and windows screened.
 He also suggests one inspection by the district commander of the New London artillery district during Janu- ary and one during April of each com pany in it's armory, to determine it's artillery efficiency. Field officers of the regiment should be required to att tend the instruction of the companies. as these field officers are responsible for the work. He states that in Con- necticut the companies are separated and more officers are required during the winter than would be required in New York where all the companies are located in one arnory. Instead of one officer to a regiment, three officers to regiment are necessary, and six non- n-commissioned officers. He also recommends the erection of a barrack room for about 100 men, with separate rooms for officers, at district head quarters.
 Col. Gilbert L. Fitch, commanding the Coast Artillery corps of the Con- necticut National guard, reports that in his opinion the exercises have been instructive. He recommends that the entire corps be assigned to batteries at Fort H. c. Wright and that the tour of duty be two weeks in the fu- ture; that officers from other districts be assigned to the New London dis trict, as has been the custom in the past; that one-half day be devoted to athletics; that the government build storehouse at New London for the storage of camp equipage of reserves; that at least one night drill be held. and that more boats be assigned to the district during the tour of duty.
