CAUSE OF REVOl.UTIO.Q.
People Of Panama Have Been Taxed
For Benefit Of BoJsta

New York, Nov 6.-Phil'ppe Buu-
avarila. former engineer-in-cnief OF
the Panama canal. who is now here
says the revolution on the isthmus is
spontaneous combustion due 20 the
accumulation of injured feelings ard
the result of the Spanish coonial sys-
tenn urged by the Bogota government
The people Of Panama saw the
Colombian congress adjourn sn Oc-
tober 81 he said "and not given so
much as hint of what it intended to
do toward the ratification of the treaty
with the United States.
"The isthmians had been taxed for
the benefit of BogOta. and | de- not
see how Colombia can regain the
state.
LAS to the canal, the new republic
will, believe, have perfect right to
treat with the United States. Co
lOmbia will have lost sovereign rights
if the revolution succeeds, which
think it will.
Il believe the Spooner act contains
provision that the United States
shall acquire the canal and its neu-
tral banks of Colombia, and not
FROM and that eliminates the latter

GERMANY is INDIFFERENT.
Will Take No Part In Panama Revolu-
tion In Any Way.

Berlin, Nov. 6.-Germany, the AS
sociated Press is advised, will observe
complete Indifference tc the political
side of the Panama revolution. Both
revolutionists and government forces,
it is assumed, respect the personal
and property rights of German sub
jects living at Panama. It is cCnsid-
erd likely that the German West In
dian squadron will send vessel to
Colcn, as that is now the most inter
esting place within the cruising field.
1t is also conceivable here that Ger
man naval commander might land ma
rines in common with the Unitd
States and Great Britain if such ac-
tion is deemed desirable. Emphasis,
however, is placed on Germanys gen
eral aloofness. The United States is
recognized as the power having dom
inant interests in the isthmus. Ger
many has no inclination or object for
the least interference, and certainly
would not do anything without know
ing in advance that it would be agree
able to the United States.

Filings Rejected

There was great rush for the
lands south Of Bonners Ferry, adj
vertised to be open for filing Oh the
9th. The applications were all
turned down at the land Office for
60 Gays, in order to give the state
go days priority in which to file
its selections. Col. Budlong, the
register, ruled that he could not
accept any filings except from
bona-6de settlers who had located
the land prior to March 16, 1899.
at which time the state had asked
the government to withdraw the
lands until it had made its select
ions, and be given 60 days priority
in filing after the plats were filed.
To disinterested observer it would
look as though the squatters we're
up against hard proposition, and
that they had made their locations
at their peril, as they had due no.
tice that the state intended making
selections in these townships and
by such notice gained priority Of
loca ton after March 16, 1899.
