PANAMA FOR ANNEXATION.

A Possible Scheme to Beat the Nicara-
qua Canal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Panama,
a semi-indapenden. province OF Colon
bia, desires annexation by the United
States. That Is the report here. State
Department officials are evasive when
questioned as to the accuracy OF the re-
port, which fact strengthens the con
clusiOn that II Is true.
Arthur NJ. Reaupre. Consul Al Qua
temala. who was in this city recently
reported at the State Department, and
while 1t is no. definitely established
that he was the bearer OF any commu
nication from the citizens OF Panama
the report seems to have been curren
ever since his visit.
The sudden desire Of the citizens @
Panama for annexation Is regarded
part of general scheme to prevent tn
enactment OF legislation relative to tn
Nicaragua Canal.
II Is assumed that the disturbed con
dition in Colombia makes the agitation
of the annexation sentiment in Pana
ma particularly popular at this time.
The Panama Canal Company Is sup
posed to be at the bottom OF the agita
ton, on the theory that IL the Unite
States become interested in Panam
and regard it is as possible additio
to this country. Congress will go slo'
in making law providing for the lo
cation of the canal through Nicaragu;
Last winter the Panama Canal Con
pany had a powerful lobby in Wasf
ington to thwart Nicaragua Canal lei
islation. As result, instead of I'm;
action being taken, law providing Il
new commission was passed.
This commission has been diligentl
at work and should have Its complies
report as to the relative merits of bot
the Nicaragua and Panama route
ready with a few months.
