It- Is assumed here that the "army" sud to be marching on Panama was nothing more than the few men, per hais 600 all told, who were about to embark at Buena Ventura, a Tew days ago, when they were turned back from the Isthmus by notice of the deter mination of the United States naval commanders to allow no landings in that quarter. These torops cannot reach the Isthmus by water and the officials here are positive that they cannot do so by land, on account of the nature of the intervening coun try. But there are more than physical obstacles In the way of the approach of an army upon Panama. The officials do not cane to. expre^y-publlcly their plana, but enbugh^lms been learned from the instructions given to onr naval commanders to make it evident that never again will the Isthmus be come the- seat of warfare, so long as the United States government can pre vent it. The difference between the present situation on the Isthmus and tha| which existed last year when Commander McLean prevented armed troops from, crossing the Isthmus by rail is iust this: Ta^nuthoritles have nOw determined to extend the lines of protection to thq railroad. They will not allow hostile forces, no matter whether they are- Colombian or Pan ama troops, to ctane Into collision any* where near the railroad arid to pre vent such collisions it will be neces sary to extend the neutral sone clear to the north arid sCuth.. boundaries $ the Republic of Panama. Officials here -will not make such a statement pub licly, they simply say: "Wait till the emergency arises.'* But it is known that such were the piaWb of the naval commander* and as there is no indica tion '-at a change in these plans, not. of the encroachment of any Colombian artsy =poa 1*anama. fir.
