at least. Colombia enjoys peaceful official rela- lions with her neighbors. The report that i ulombia helped. the attacks on the en ezu Un frontier is ridiculous.

In the south of Cuaca. but General Palalccs. with a government force. defeated them. took many prisoners and a quantity of war supplies.

Senc iterran said that the Colombian government had no definite knowledge that this invasion was aided by the Fcuadorean government. but the Impression was that ihe raiders had Its help.
