Watching American Mnrlncs. It Is supposed hero that President Castro is proceeding under the theory that the application of tho Monroo doctrine would protect him from punitive action by Ger many, but the impression Among officlala here Is that this belief Is not well founded. Homo of tho reports reaching here show there la apprehension on the part of some of the Colombians on tho Isthmus, Including men of considerable Influence, as to the duration of the stay of American marines. U has como to tho knowledge of officials hern that many wild rumors have been circulated on the, Isthmus as to the extent of tho trouble that the United States forces, having once landed, would not be with drawn, . These reports have led to Inquiries be tween Washington and Panama, bringing out responses that the American occupa tion was wholly Imaginative and that tho most definite and positive assurances had keen given that Immediately on the ful fillment of this government's obligation to leep open tho traffic, rtir forces would bo debarked nnd all authority would to ter mlnatcd. This purpose of the authorities has been made known on tho isthmus and lias served to allay tho fears caused by reports of American occupation. Wilt Leave When Snfr. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. With the resto tatlon of order and open traffic on tho Isthmus of Panama It Is expected that tho ,Var department will bo enabled to withdraw fome of thn United States warships now on duty In that vicinity, nnd It Is probablo that one ship will be withdrawn on cither Ride. There will be no haste, however, in re ducing thi naval strength, as the officials feel that tho surrender of the liberals on tho Isthmus may not terminate the entire Struggle, The country is so extonslve and the signs of unrest at Interior points are o numerous that it Is expected there may be a recurrence of troublo on the Isthmus H tho Insurgents at other points continue to ahow strength. When the battleship Iowa is withdrawn it will probably go to Tatcahano to bn docked. Machias, when relieved, will como north and bo docked.
