consuls here have agreed to send to the

ing answer to his note addressed to the
American, French, British and German
conSuls:
His Excellcncy, Acting Governor
Aristides Arizona, kindly delivered to
certain persons of the consular body let
tiers from you. We understand they
were intended for all the consular corps,
and. therefore through the Governor,
we beg to reply that the proposal de-
claring Panama Colon and the railroad
line a neutral zone is ideal, and some
thing that we, representing foreign in
terests would gladly hail as an accom-
plished fact However. as we see it at
present and in view of existing laws,
we recognize the difficulty, if not the
impossibility. Of its accomplishment.
1t could be done only by agreement
between the contending parties to this
unpleasant and unfortunate trouble.
We are extremely anxious to do all in
our power to lessen trouble, yet it must
be ever and positively understood that
we have been and will continue to re-
main neutral.
'As regards the advising of their re-
spective government, each consul will
exercise his individual judgment. In
case the contending forces submit to lis
or to any member of our body any
matter and asks advice for its determi-
nation, we shall be ready and willing TO
act, if the same is within the scope of
our duties, but any and all initial meas
ures must be taken by the two contend
ing parties and first agreed upon by
them.
Foreigners and foreign property
have a right to full and ample protec-
ton. and this we shall under all circum-
stances insist upon The governments
having special treaty rights will. we
presume, see that they are not violated.
In the hope that there will be an
early termination of the civil strife
which has existed for over two years.
| beg to subscribe myself in behalf of
the consular corps. very truly,
