Rear Admiral Glass informs Secretary of the Navy Moody that he is sending a tracing of a map prepared by a lieutenant. Glass points out the non-existence of roads, and states the rivers are the main methods of communication and the only way for Colombia to get forces into the region. Glass then details the three routes the Colombian army will have to use to attack Panama. Glass then discusses the advantages of using particular harbors as bases for their ships. Finally, Glass reports that the San Linus and Andres de Providencia islands have been occupied by the Colombians.
