Colombians Abandon Panama Expedition Says Governor
Washington reports from Consul Gudger indicate the Colombia expedition to Panama has been abandoned. In Colon, Governor Melendez cites that warships General Pinzon and Cartagena carried 450 troops toward Panama but halted after four days of river travel and lack of provisions, later returning to Cartagena. Other reports claim 4000 troops were ordered down the Magdalena river but countermanded at Honda and sent back to Bogota, with General Reyes blamed. An Indian chief near Point Diablo says Colombian troops have not entered his territory and will not be allowed to cross. Pan-American circles note Bowen’s contracts link as a factor for peace in northern South America.
