Canal Zone Governor Goethals requested torpedo boat destroyers to enforce neutrality as British naval vessels and a collier caused wireless transmissions within three miles of Panama. US stations could not interrupt the Lena’s message, and partial orders delayed response. British and Japanese ships moved south of Panama as tensions rose over enforcement without armed escort.
