Ing and the state department, Secre.
tary of the Navy DENLY has dispatched
war vessels to both the Atlantic and
Pacific sides of Panama to protect
American lives and interests.
The ultimatum was issued on ad-
vices that Costa Rican forces had in
vaded territory in the north of Panama
which indisputably belongs to Panama.
The state department, in the notes
to Panama and Costa RIGA is under,
stood to have declared that settle
