WASHINGTON. April so Secretary Whitney
sent the following telegram to Admiral Jouett
yesterday:
| approve of your steadfast maintenance Of
tnis governments position in the Isthmus.
The treaty guarantees protection of the transit
equally by this government and by Colombia.
Measures necessary to effect this will be sup
ported. Have sufficient force at Panama
ready in case of need. Any act of Colombian
forces involving the destruction or embarrass-
ment of the transit is in violation of their
treaty with this government, An armed con-
test at q place involving the same result is
also breach of the treaty. recognize that
you are in delicate and critical position. [
shall be inclined TO stand by you in the ex-
ercise of your best judgment, under your gem
eral instructions, If your acts result in the
safety of the transit, the property at Panama
and the re-establshment of stable govern
ment"
Late yesterday afternoon Admiral Jouett
telegraphed to Secretary Whitney as follows:
"A peaceful settlement between the govern
ment troops and the revolutonists at Panama
has been made to-day. / witnessed the treaty,
and all points OF difference were referred 70
me. Aizparu surrepders Internationally. The
government forces will take possession OF Pam
anna tomorrow and the trouble on the 18TH
mus will be practically ended"
la an interview this morning Secretary
Whitney explains the delicate position in
The trouble at Panama is practically ended.
think Admiral Jouett and his associates in
the expedition have acted with great judg-
ment and discretion. Yesterday morning they
were in troublesome positions the two forces
prepared to fight it out in the city of Panama.
think Admiral Jonett's position has been
ander his instructions that to settle their dis
putes in that city would result in the embar-
rassment OF the Isthmus transit and be in
violation of the treaty obligations aud should
not be done. 1t has resulted in forcing a set
tlement OF these matters and preservation of
property. The insurgents, If obliged to fight
outside the city unprotected by buildings and
baricades, could not under any circumstances
succeed. They have therefore surrendered
without fighting. 1 think the conciliatory
manner of our people at the same time that
determined opposition when anything was
done which looked like peril to the interests
they were there to protect must have inspired
very desirable feeling of respect, and at the
same time has avoided that feeling OF hostility
likely to arise from the presence of a superior
force from without and which would tend TO
occasion permanent irritation and uufriendli-
ness. think the expedition will result ul-
timately in benentting our commercial rela-
tions down there. 1t has shown that we were
ready TO act effectively, and decisively and at
the same time with moderate and proper
spirit. protecting our interests and rights and
not infringing upon theirs.
The United States forces which were sent to
Panama it is expected will be recalled at an
early cay.
