Commander Knight reports on military operations of the USS Castine and USS Bancroft in Panama, who have met with representatives of several native Indian tribes. The tribes have been suspicious and uncooperative, though not hostile, and Knight believes they would be so with any strangers. At least one chief, however, seems to favor Colombia and therefore to view the American forces with enmity.
