pany was In danger, and aaking for
protection. In addition a message came
from the cable company, saying In
effect that there wa no telegraphic
communication for point of Colombia
outside of Panama and Colon by way
of the isthmus. It assumed that the
revolutionists have cut inland commu
nicatlons to prevent the government at
Bogota from obtaining knowledge as
to what Is happening on the Isthmus,
and It Is expected that an effort will be
made to embarrass the Colombian gov
ernment in Its military movements.
In case of emergency $00 Or more
marines could be spared for service cn
the Isthmus and should - a greater
emergency arise arrangements would be
completed making; a much larger force
available for duty In Panama. ' On the
Pacific coast the marine force has been
reduced to a small lumber.
The Colombian warship Bogota was
bought by Dr. Herran In Seattle more

Washington, Nov.- 4. The state de-,
partment today received a request from
the representatives of the revolutionary
government at Panama that the United
States recognise the state of Panama.
Pending official advices from the
United States consular officials at
Panama that the new government has
been established and is a de facto gov
ernment, the state department declined
to commit itself. However, attention
la called to the fact that it Is the invar
iable policy of the United States to
deal with the de facto government in
any country. This statement is taken
as favorable to recognition should the
new Panama government have an ac
tive existence.
