WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—~With the resto- yation of order and open trafic on the fsthmus of Panama it is expected that the War department will be enabled to withdraw come of the United States warships now on duty in that vicinity, and it is probabla that one ship will be withdrawn on elther wlde. There will be no haste, however, in re- ducing the naval strength, as the officals feel that the surrender of the liberals on the istbmus may net terminate the entire struggle. The country s so extensive and the signs of unrest at interfor points are #0 numerous that it 18 expected there may be & recurrence of trouble on the lsthmus 1t the insurgents at other points continue to show strength.
