Admiral Coghlan provides an update on the situation in Panama. The islands of Saint Andrews and Old Providence have been occupied by Colombian forces. Panama does not claim these islands and Coghlan is guarding Panama’s western coast to prevent a landing. The examination of trails and streams along the northeastern coast continues. The squadron’s health is very good and the USS Stewart is being repaired.
