In his weekly report to Secretary of the Navy Moody, Rear Admiral Coghlan states that all is quiet despite rumors that an invasion from Cartegena, Colombia, is imminent. Coghlan also reports about the movement of ships under his command, the incoming and outgoing sailors and Marines under his command, the seeming disbanding of the Panamanian military, and the presence of Imperial German ships in Boas del Toro and their help during the accidental fire that destroyed most of the town.
