Commander Hubbard writes to Secretary of the Navy Moody regarding events in Panama. Colombian troops arrived in Colon intending to move to a garrison. Panama announced its separation from Colombia the next day and Hubbard refused to permit the Colombian troops to travel to the garrison. This led to a conflict between Hubbard and Colombian Colonel Eliseo Torres, which was resolved when Torres agreed to withdraw his troops from Colon if Hubbard withdrew his troops to the USS Nashville. Torres did not withdraw to the agreed location, but upon word from the new Panamanian government, Torres and his troops returned to Colombia.
