Charles D. Sigsbee reports on the investigation into Colombia having sent a gunboat into the Gulf of Darien. He believes the Colombians’ purpose was not aggression toward Panama but to transport troops to control their own state of Cauca. Sigsbee also describes a strategy for protection of Panama from any possible future aggression by Colombia. Sigsbee encloses a letter from the United States Consulate in Colón.
