The Panama Affair.


American commander had caused the
Withdrawal of the American troops from
the CITY of Panama. The French Consul
denied that he ever made such statement,
but this is untrue. as the letter which he
sent to the commandment of the Quartet
has been printed, and was circulated about
the streets to-day, showing plainly that he
did make such a statement. When the
Americans withdrew their forces it was
the popular belief among the French
people here that the Americans were fright
encd by the protest from France and they
boosted of their success.
CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN SECRETARY WHIT
NEY AND ADMIRAL JOUETT.
WASHINGTON, April Both. - Secretary
Whitney sent the following telegram 70
Admiral Jouett yesterday:
! approve Of your stcadfast maintenance of
this Government position on the Isthmus. The
treaty guarantees the protection of the transit
equally by this Government and by Colombia.
All measures necessary to effect this will be
supported Have Il sufficient force at Panama
rcady IN case OF need. ANY destruction or
embarrassment Of the transit is in violation of
their treaty with this Government. An ermed
contest at any place involving the same result
is also breach Of the trust. | also recognize
that you are in delicate and critical position.
| shall be inclined TO stand by you i'll the eXer-
else OF our best Judgment, under your general
Instructions if your acts result in the safety of
the transit property at Panama ana the re-
establishment of the Government.

In an interview this morning, Secretary
Whitney explains the delicate position in
which Admiral Jouett was placed EeSays:
The trouble at Panama is practically
ended, 7 think Admiral Jouett and his
associates in the expedition have, in my
opinion, acted with great judgment aud dis
cretion. Yesterday morning they were in
a troublesome position. The two forces
were prepared to fight it out in the city of
Panama. think Admiral Jouett's
position, under his instructions, that to set
| tie the disputes in that city would result in
| an embarrassment Of the Isthmus transit.
and be iii violation Of the treaty obligations,
and should not be done. has resulted
| in forcing Il settlement of their matters and
| the preservation of property. The inSur-
gents, # obliged TO fight outside the city,
| unprotected by buildings and barricades,
could NOT under any circumstances sIIc,
coed. They have. therefore. surrendered
without fighting. / think the oonciliatory
manner of our people, at the same time
! their determined opposition when anything
was done which looked like peril to the
| interests they were there to protect, must
| have inspired a very desirable feeling
of respect, and at the same time has
avoided that feeling of hostility likely to
