the Important Topie-Forelsn coun.
tries little Shy on Recognizing New
Country.
MISUNDERSTANDING advices to
the state department indicated q reg
ular development of the government of
Panama. The most important an
indicative Of speedy es-
Establishment Of full diplomatic relar
tons with the new republic was the
appointment Of Buneau-Varilla as the
agent Of Panama in the United States.
With him the United States govern
ment will transact any necessary bust
ness in an unofficial way pending the
appointment of regular ministers plen-
ipotentiary.
Mr.. Gudger is the United States con-
sui general to Panama.
The British government has for
mally requested the state department
to look after the British subjects on
the isthmus, and similar requests are
expected, all of which will be promptly
granted.
There are reasons why it Is aesir-
able that large foreign naval repre-
sentation in isthmian waters should be
discouraged just now and until the
rev government is permanently es-
tablished. 1t is understood here that
there will be little delay about such
establishment, and as soon as there
is a regular government at Panama, In
place of the present junta, the state
department expects to take up nego-
tiations for the execution Of the canal
project.

St. Petersburg.-In the absence Of
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff no de-

Germany Neutral.
Berlin.-Germany has not yet taken
into consideration the question Of rec

will await the United States formal
recognition. Germany admits that

French Are Cautious.
Paris.--Before giving formal rec
ignition by France of the republic OF
Panama, Foreign Minister Delcasse
has decided to secure q specific dec.
laration that the new regime will carry
out Colombia's former obligations In
connection with the canal and other
French property interests, Until this
