ONLY DIRECT ISSUE WITH THE
UNITED STATES.

Washington. Sept. 26.-The report that the
government of Rumania has discontinued the
issuance of passports to Jews intending TO emf
CRATE 70 America, though not officially cen
frmed. is regarded by the Washington author
tiles as an immediate and direct recognition by
Rumania of the accuracy Of the statements
made by Secretary Hay in the note respecting
the evils of this Jewish immigration and the
underlying causes. The reported suspension or
emigration would be regarded as removing the
only direct issue between the United States and
Rumania and while this country may continue
to have deep concern in the betterment of the
condition of the Rumanian Jews. the United
States Government must, for the time, rest con-
tent with what it has done in the issue of the
identic note to the powers.

POLICING THE IsTHMUS.
THE UNITED STATES MERELY CARRY
ING OUT TREATY OBLIGATIONS.
COMMANDER M'LEAN THINKS HIS PRESENT
FORCE SUFFICIENT.

yyasbington Sent 26-The Navy Department
today gave out the following statement IN re
gard to a cable dispatch received from Com
mander Mclean at Colon:
Commander Mclean ca bles that for the pres
ent situation the United states forces now OF
the isthnsus will be sufficient Accordingly nc
more need he sent unless some unforeseen con
tingency should arise. 1t Is thought that tne
marine battalion being assembled at NpiIolh
probably will not have to be sent to the isthmus
In regard to the protest against the landing
of American marines the isthmus made to
Commander Mclean by Governor Salazar OF
Panama on the ground that the Colombian Gov
eminent has ample force to protect the lives and
nronsrtv of foreigners 1t is pointed out here
that the Governors argument takes In only
one-ba1f of the main treaty obligation with re-
gard To the isthmus assumed in the treaty OF
1916 between the United states ana New
Grenada The dominant factor which infu-
ence6 the landing of the marines was the obiga-
tion which the United States took on itself by
the treaty of 1916 in these words:
The United States guarantee positively and
efficaciously to New-Granada, ey the present
stimulation the perfect neutrality OF the before
mentioned isthmus, with the view that the free
transit from the one to the other sea may not
be Interrupted or embarrassed In any future
time while this treaty eXlStS
Furthermore. in respect to the Governors re-
Of the United States naval force an attempt to
assume the sovereignty of Colombia, attention Is
directed to this declaration in the same para
graph of the treaty
The United States also guarantee the
-iehts of sovereignty and property which New
Granada has and possesses over the said terri
tory.
So far neither the State Department nor the
Navy Department has been informed officially
of the protest of the Panama Governor 1t was
said at the Navy Department to-day that no
mention of the protest was made In the long
dispatch received from Commander Mclean
Yesterday in regard to which only a general
statement was made public. If Governor Sala-
gar In making the security of the lives ana
nronerty of foreigners his ground for protest
as ainst the presence of the American marines
did so on the assumption that transit was safe
against interruption, officials here are not IN
cIined to the same view. They point out that
there would have been interruption of trafhc
on the isthnus on Wednesday, when three nun
dred insurgents attempted TO capture Colom-
HAN officer aboard one of the trains, had 1t not
been for the presence Of the American marines
