THE PANAMA CANAL.
Its Stockholders May Offer the Prop.
erty to the United States.

NEW YORK, April IA special TO
the Herald from Washington says:
While NJ. Hutin, president OF the
French Panama Canal Company, has
been awaiting the participation OF Co.
lombia in the negotiations for the sale
of the Panama canal to the United
States, M. Brunau Barilla, formerly
an engineer of the company, who says
he represents some of the stockholders,
has indicated to the ISthmian canal
commission that the company is will
ing to sell it's concession ana property.
NJ. Barilla will leave in a few days
for France. He has been in Washing
ton for several days. M. Hutin has
seen NJ. Barilla, and the two have
talked over the situation
The representations of M. Barilla to
Rear Admiral Walker, president of the
Isthmian canal commission, nave led
to the report that M. Hutin is to be
displaced from the office of president
however, that NJ. Hutin was advised
only few days ago of his reelection
to the presidency, showing that he is
to be retained for another year, and
that a majority of the stockholders are
satisfied with his policy.
M. Hutin has commended that under
the terms of the concession held by the
company the grant would be subject
to forfeit from the moment negotia-
tions began for it's sale, unless such
negotiations had the approval of the
Colombian government. 1t was, there
fore, impossible for him to submit a
proposition for the sale of the conces-
sion to the United States, as requested
by the 1sthmian canal commission.

but thousands of sacks of flour, a
quantity of bacon and wagon loads of
other goods, all bearing government
