DESTROYERS WILL

ACTIVITY OF BELLIGERENT WAR
SHIPS WILL RESULT IN PA
TROL OF BIG DITCH.
United States Torpedo Boat Destroy
ers to be Used at Each End Of
Panama Canal to Prevent Vic
lation of Regulations.

Panama.-Colonel George w. Goe-
thals, governor of the canal zone, was
impelled to suggest to the govern
ment at Washington that two swift
American torpedo boat destroyers be
stationed at the Panama canal, one
at each end, by the recent activity Of
belligerent warships and Golfers in
the vicinity of the isthmian waterway.
The action of the Australian collier
Mallina, which left Balboa without
clearance papers, and the fact that
this and other golfers have shown a
disposition to disregard the canal zone
shipping laws actuated Colonel Boz
thals to take a decisive measure to
preserve the neutrality of the canal.
Nearly all the golfers which have
gathered in canal waters arrived
without health certificates, and in sew
eral instances the ships sailed with
out clearance papers. 1t is presumed
that the steamers met and coaled the
Australian and English fleet, which
concentrated recently in the vicinity
ID the Pearl islands, which lie sixty
miles southeast of Panama city.
The United States torpedo boat de-
stroyers requested by the governor
are expected to do patrol duty and to
promptly overhaul any belligerent
craft attempting to disregard the
canal regulations.
Alleged violations Of the canal ship
ping laws have, it is said, been the
subject of complaint to Sir Claude C.
Mallet, British minister to Panama,
and also have resulted in causing or
ders to be given the Notifications to
prevent unneutral Golfers remaining
in ports on the canal zone in disre-
gard Of the orders of the canal au-
thorities.
