WASHINGTON, May S.-The rapid de-

government is beginning to attract general
attention here, and the question as to what
should be done is becoming serious one
In view of the fact that exchange is so near
the starting point, some fear is expressed
that there will be a flow of gold out of the
country, which would doubtless hasten
complications of the situation. The decrease
of gold coin during the month of April
amounted to Sc, 600, 600, while there was
corresponding increase in the number of

WASHINGTON, May S.-Admiral Jouett
recently ordered court Of inquiry at Aspin-
wall to investigate the charges made against
Commander Kane, to the effect that he did
not perform his duty at the time of the
burning Of that place. The finding Of the
court has been received at the navy depart
ment and is as follows: '"That the Ameri-
can flag was insulted as alleged by the
seizure of the steamship Colon, and the
fOrcible arrest and Imprisonment Of num-
Der of American citizens, including an
officer of the United States navy in uni
form, and Mr.. Robert K. Wright, Jr.,
United States consul at Aspinwall, which,
however, we find to have been done on the
30th day of March, under forces which, in
our opinion, were not revolutionary, but
were part of an armed mob acting under the
orders OF one Pedro PreStan, who was de-
nounced by both the existing political par
ties of the state OF Panama as rObber and
an assassin, who called himself revolu-
zionist to cover his own base designs.
The conduct of Commander Kane was, in
our opinion, Chased upon the cOncOrdant
testimony of all of the witnesses who have
been before the court as well as of those
who have testified by deposition, eminently
proper. He acted with judgment, with dis
cretiOn, with firmness and in accordance
with his orders. Had Commander Kane
acted otherwise than as he did, there is no
doubt that the lives of the American citi-
zens imprisoned by Prestan would have
been sacrificed with no benefit to Americans
or to other foreigners, either in the saving
of life or property. The burning Of Aspin-
wall would have followed the murder of
Prestan's prisoners, and in all probability
other American citizens would have been
made the victims of Prestan's malignant
