The following is an extract from the docu-
ment proclaiming the independence of the 18TH
mus of Panama:
This afternoon CTuesoay1 AT o'clock the
municipality of Panama assembled with the
elusive purpose Of celebrating on the situation
of the country and deciding the most con-
Venient manner in which promote the tran
quility, development and greatness Of the popu-
l2tions constituting the topographic and poit-
zeal entity denominafed the Isthmus of Panama
The councillors considered the historic events
by virtue OF which Panama divorced fits des-
TIMES from those Of Spain, and spontaneously
unit&d its fortunes to those Of the republic of
Colombia. Addresses were made establishing
the fact that in the union OF the isthmus with
old Colombia, modern Colombia had not
ceived the benefits which it expected. Particu-
lar mention made of the preat and pro-
longed grievances from which the isthmus suf-
fered under all governments OF the nation since
the union instead of being treated in patri-
otto manner, these grievances increased every
day in number and importance. and were forced
with a blindness that killed in the people of the
isthmus the affection they had for their alliance
with Colombia.
Il was demonstrates that this is the moment
for US to cut the links which retard our civil
lZatton, place obstacles IN the way Of prog
ress, produce unhappiness and render nugatory
the ends Of the political entity into which we
have entered.
Moved by the necessity Of satisfying obliga-
lions and Of furthering within the bosoms OF the
people respect for right and liberty, the Mu-
nicipal Council Of the District of Panama, faith
fully interpreting the sentiments of the people It
represents. declares in solemn form that the
peoples within its jurisdiction shall from to-day
and forevermore separate themselves from the
republic Of Colombia, and, limiting to it the
State of Panama, shall create, with the other
populations Of the Department Of Panama who
accept separation. republic, this republic to
have independent, democratic and repre-
sentative government to assure the happiness of
natives and other inhabitants Of the isthmian
territory. In order practically TO give effect to
this resolution the people OF Panama will have
10 emancpate themselves from the government
OF Colombia and found nationality free from
the interference OF foreign powers.
The municipality of the District Of Panama, in
It's own name and that Of other municipal coun-
ellis commends the administration and direction
Of affairs. pending the constitution of the new
republic to a tunta composed of Jose Augustin

AMERICAN FORCE AVAILABLE.
With the Atlanta, the Dixie and the Nashville
there will be a naval force on the Gulf side or
the isthmus sufficient to meet any probable
emergency. The presence of the four hundred
Colombian Government troops at Colon makes
the situation there more difficult than on the
Panama side. 1t is the opinion OF some or the
officials here however. that these troops. having
been deprived OF their general officers oy capt

Washington. Nov. 4.-Vice-Consul Ehrman at

under to-days date, that the Colombian Govern
rnent warshlp BOgota is Smelling the city. One
Chinaman has been killed. Mr.. Ehrman has

mander Of the Boston. which is by this time on
her way to Panama from San Juan del Sur. six
hundred miles distant, will promptly seize the
Colombian gunboat, If necessary to stop the
bombardment
This commandment is in violation of all the
rules of war beginning, as 1t did. without the
required notice. Moreover the United States
Government takes the ground that it interferes
with the freedom Of transit across the isthmus
which this government is bound by treaty to
maintain.
The Colombian warship Bogota was bought by
DIR. Herran in Seattle more than a year ago.
and, with American officer in command,
was armed. equipped and sent down to isthmian
waters for use on the Pacific side She is of
HOO tons displacement. carries a fairly heavy
sheathing of armor and battery Of one IA

fire guns. She is commanded by a Colombian.
The Carthagena. at Colon is waTship bought
from the Sultan of Morocco, and is in every way
superior to the Bogota.
GREAT NAVAL ACTIVITY
Great activity was exhibited in the State
and Navy departments to-day. and there were
frequent consultations between the officials the
naval officers particularly being intent on work
ing the details for the plan of the protection
of isthmian traffic outlined by the State De
partment 1t is evident that the navy is making
preparations for larger demonstration in 18TH
milan waters than 1t has made for many years,
and the fact is not disguised that all OF the in
formation that has come from the secret agents
of the government points to the ultimate success
Of the revolution. But meanwhile extremely
delicate questions to be answered. for the oc-
cupation of one end Of the Panama Railroad by
the government force and OF the other end by
the revolutionists makes the situation extremely
complicated That is one reason why the confer
ences are being held and why it is desirable that
