The armistice concluded between Panama and Costa Rica at the insist- ence of the United States has been put in full effect along the entire fron- tier, according to information com- municated to the State Department today by the Panaman legation. Dis- patches from Panama City said that when the Costa Rican order to with- draw the expeditionary forces which last week crossed the international line and captured three towns was carried out, Panaman troops sent out to repel them also were recalied. Although specific information re- garding the terms of the armistice are still lacking, it is understood that both sides have agreed to abide by the decision of mediators. Panama has jindicated that she will agree to a set- i tlement of the dispute over the prov- jince of Coto, using the arbitral award jof Chief Justice White as a basis of i discussion, though it was insisted jthat the door be left open for rejec- tion of some of its provisions. | Costa Rica, on the other hand, made {plain in replying to the American {note that arms would be laid down on condition that the White award be recognized as binding in all details. COSTA RICANS RETIRING. Advices Show Troops Could Have Taken Coto From Panama. By the Associated Press. BALBOA, Panama, March §.—Pur- suant to the suggestion of the United States government, the Costa Rican forces which recently have been op- erating against the Panamans have retired to the Jeft side of the Bixola river, on the Atlantic side of the isthmus, in Bocas Del Toro prov- ince, while the Panaman government has promised to withdraw its armed forces from the region of Coto, on the Pacific side, leaving the civil author- ities in charge. Panamans Ou bered. Official advices available here this afternoon concerning the military situation prevailing when the iden- tical notes of Secretary of State {Hughes to Panama and Costa Rica ended the hostilities, indicate that Costa Rica was fully capable of oc- cupying the disputed territory with- out much Panaman opposition An accurate check on the Costa {Rican forces leaving Almirante Mon- day night for Port Limon aboard a chartered steamer shows that there were more than 1.200 of them, with three pieces of artillery and seven- jteen machine guns. More than 800 ‘osta Ricans retired across the Sixola river. Opposing these forces, mostly well armed volunteers, Panama had less than 300 volunteers gathered in the vicinity of Bocas Del Toro. On the way from Port Limon to Almi- rante were 700 more Costa Ricans to oppose the Panamans in Bocas Del Toro province. On the Pacific side of the isthmus Costa Rica had 1,000 cavalry within striking distance of to. and 800 {infantry bound thither. The Pana- {man volunteers at Coto numbered less than 500.
