Rear Admiral Coghlan provides a weekly report to Secretary of the Navy Moody. Coghlan details the movements of ships under his command, and that he sent a Marine scouting party to locate positions to defend the canal zone. General Daniel Ortiz sailed to the Atrato River with a small force and has been seen by the USS Newport near Titumati. The majority of the native peoples now support the government in Panama.
