Recent Activity Alarms.

Recent activity by British and Jap
anese warships in the vicinity of the
Canal Zone, which followed the recent
disaster to the British feet under Ad-
miral Cradock, has given rise to some
concern here, although no specific re-
ports Of violations of neutrality have
been previously received so far as
known. Reports of wireless Interrupt
ton from Panama have led to the be-
lief that Golfers and warships were
exchanging messages, which, if they
have not otherwise been open to OBJ
lection, have hindered commercial use
of wireless to considerable extent, it
is said.
In view of Colonel Cocktails mes
sage, ii is believed code messages have
been picked up which disclosed that
to some extent the waters of the zone
have been made a base of operations
by one or both of the Allies fleets and
that the Governor wishes TO establish
patrol which will prevent further
violations Of neutrality.
