The Chargé in Panama (Munro) to the Secretary of State

105. Since the President informed me this morning that he has no objection, the American troops will be withdrawn from the city tomorrow.

The Government has brought many police from the interior, increasing the forces in the city from about 250 to about 400 men. The President tells me that this increase will be temporary.
