Telegram from Thomas Cleland Dawson to Elihu Root
Diplomat Thomas Cleland Dawson informs Secretary of State Root that Panamanian authorities still occupy Jurado, Choco, Colombia, and are advancing south. The Governor of Choco wants to use force. The Colombian government thinks action by Panamanian authorities is intended to disrupt and prevent the carrying out of protocol. President of Colombia Rafael Reyes continues diplomacy until Dawson and the dispatches by Colombian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Enrique Cortes, reach Washington, D.C.
