Washington. Special.?Dr. llcrran,
the Colombian charge d-affaires. has
authorized the statement that if the
troops from Cartagena have landed
near the mouth of the Atrato river, as
reported by the French steamer which
has arrived at L.aGuira4 it is directly in
opposition to the advice of both himself
and General Keyos. General Reyes
stated that the DaGuira dispatch was

the reported movement of Colombian
troops and he declared, however, that
If it is true as stated such movement
has taken place it was w ithout any orders
from him. Upon cominr to Washington
as the special representative of
the Colombian government. General
Reyes temporarily relinquished the
command of the Colombian army, the
duty falling upon General Castro, second

Congress, the United States had deterof
the new republic of Panama against

preparations have been made to exert
whatever physical force may be necessary
to protect the isthmian transit.
Colombian troops will not be allowed
to cross the frontier into Panama; or.
if they cross they will be ejected in due
time.
The policy of tlie Navy Department
with respect to the entry of Colombian
Poops into Panama was said today 10
be to prevent a conflict beforp it commenced.
To this end, the naval commanders
in those waters have been instructed
to keep the Colombian troops
at. a greater distance from the isthmus
at points where a fight with the
Pannmaian troops is likely to occur. In
ail naval operations. It may be stated
on authority, the Department is stil?
guided l>y the treaty of 184f?. under
which the United States guarantees to
keep transit across the isthmus open.
A broader interpretation of the duties
