NO CAUSE FOR FURRY.
DR.. Silva Unable 10 Understand Excitement OF
Panama Shareholders.
Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March DIR
Silva, the retiring minister from Colon
tia at Washington, to-day authorized the
following statement:
..The Panama Canal Company, through
NJ Lamprc, its secretary general, ana
others, was informed some time ago that
it could close no deal involving the trans
fer of its rights to any nation without
first obtaining the assent of the Colom-
bian Government, the grantor Of its con-
ccssion. This matter was made very
clear The Colombian Government gave
the company the right to initiate nego-
tiations looking to a transfer of its rights
to nation, but never to finally close
such a, deal.
II cannot comprehend why a situation,
which had been so clear to the company
Should have caused srch a furry of ex-
element among its shareholders when
presented to them in the form of an Off
cial cablegram, unless they had construed
the notification to mean that the Colom-
hiar Government was not yet prepared
with it's terms Of transfer to the Govern
r.ent OF the United States.'
