Inc isthmus papers publish the Cass Hefnn convention
as amended and expurgated by the New Ganadan Con
grcss Inc first article OF that convention, in which the
government OF New Granada is made to acknowledge its
responsibility Tor the outrges at Panama on the 10Th OF
April 1906 and It's obligation to preserve peace OF the
sthns route and to protect the lives and property OF
virtual rejection of the clause The exclusion OF the
fanama haliToad Company, under the comprehensive
head OF corporations companies on private individuals
who have made contracts with the government Of New
Granada from any right Of reclamation for injury
tuned ls dsgracefu and insulting evasion, to which
the United States government VIII never submit. Be-
cause the Panama Railroad Company have contract with
the New Granadian government is that any reason why
American citizens who travel over the road have
no right to protection for themselves and their prop
erty, ana no right TO claim indemnity in case OF in
Jury Are the lives OF Americans and the vast amount
OF treasure and merchandise which il yearly transported
over the sthms to be exposed to the violence and dep
redation OF the halfbrced rasamufiin population by
which Panama and Aspnwall are infested and are the
New pfanadian authorities TO be held bameless II the

iulhilng the obligations OF a civilized power. The
manner IN which the treaty has been discussed at Bo
gota the legth OF Tune which elapsed before 1t was
considered at all the clustering and insolcnt Ian
guage towards this country used by New Granadian
