WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-The "denial' py
General John Newton. president of the
New YORK board of directors of the Panama
Railroad Company, that he has received
any communication from the Secretary of
War, suggesting that he resign either from
the company or from the retired list of
the army, was received with many smiles
of amusement at the War Department to-
day. General Newton tells the truth when
he states that he has received no such COM
munication from Secretary Elkins. He has
not received il, because there has
not yet been time for it to
reach him. There can be no
doubt whatever hat the Secretary of War
entertaiDs the opinion that General New

cansed by the usual departmental red tape,

If General Newton will be patient he will

Department as Inconsistent with his posi-
ton ms president of q corporation which
has passed under French control. and which
