IF ia said in the Spanish Hotel in Fourteenth
ST. that the real significance Of the visit to this country
of General Carlos A. Comma, who, as President OF
Panama was overthrown by the rebel General Azpuru
IS to enter protest against the occupation OF tne
IsthInus by American troops. He was released from
jmprisonment by exchange OF the prisoners captured
by the Colombian forces Colon for those taken by the
rebels in Panama. No conditions were Imposed upon
him. and he could have reolned the Colombian forces
But his mission to this country superseded every other
dutv He Is still regarded the rghtfu authority III the
Isthmus and is thought to bear important communica
tons to Washington He has had two conferences WIN
