THE LsTHMUS or PANAMA.

The state of war which now exists upon the
Isthmus of Panama concerns foreign nations,
and in particular the United States, much
more directly than is usually the case with the
chronic outbreaks of civil war in South and
Central America. Since the establishment OF
the Interoceanic Railroad the United States
has great commercial interests to protect
at Panama. The railroad is an enterprise of
citizens of the United States, and the vast
amount of capital which was needed for Its
completion was not invested until the Govern
ment of New-Granada (Which was then the
official name of the United States OF Colon
bia) had made large grants OF land to the Com
pany, and conveyed many important privileges
TO certain citizens of the United States, in the
event of their establishing the railroad. by the
treaty of 1916 between the United States and
New Grenada the two Governments entered
into qualified alliance regarding the lsthnlus
in which the United States undertook ito
guarantee positively and eflicaciously 70 New
"Grenada the perfect neutrality of the isthmus
with the view that the free transit from one
to the other sea may not be embarrassed or
interrupted, In any future time, while the
"treaty exists and in consequence, the United
Estates also guarantee, i'll the same manner
" the rights of sovereignty and property which
"New Grenada has and possesses over Tie
"said territory"
Since the conclusion of this treaty, the 18TH
mus of Panama has steadily and rapidly grown
in commefciSl Importance. No less than eight
steamship lines ana FOUR lines of sailing vessels
now connect with the railroad All these lines
are almost exclusively in the hands of foreign
merchants, and to large extent in the
hands of merchants from the United
States. Our Government, therefore, il spe-
cially called upon to protect the interests
of American citizens so far rs they are guaran
teed by international treaties. On the outbreak
of the civil war in the United States of Col
Qnhia. tue Plesilept aud Legislature OF Panama
New-York tribune., 1867-06-25

at once took a very decided stand against Mos
quera Being, as usual, short of funds, the
President of Panama issued an order by which
he doubled the taxes on merchants, foreign as
well as native. This order, in the opinion
of all the representatives of the foreign
powers, the United States as well as Peru,
Chill, and the great European countries, Is
contrary to the treaties which these powers
had concluded with the Federal Government
of Colombia, and they therefore protested
against such an edict, and referred the case to
their Governments The merchants concluded a
compromise with the President of Panama, by
which they agree to pay the tax for three
months in advance, while the President con-
sents not to double the former taxes, reserving,
however, the right to do so, in case of a future
necessity.
Here the matter at present rests. The Con-
suls in their last reply to the President OF "a
mama justly urge that, upon the principle which
the President maintains the war, taxes might
ruin the whole of the foreign commerce, and
that moreover the President of Panama claims
rights which exclusively belong to the Federal
Government of Colombia The danger which
hangs over all the foreign mercantile interests
of Panama requires prompt and energetic action.
