from the Republic of Panama, who
has just arrived here from Colon,
replying to a question as to what
assurances if any the people of Pan
anna had from he United States in
reference TO it's attitude toward the
uprising, said. I'VE knew of course
that an American man of war would
be here to see that the traffic across
the Isthmus would not be Interrupt
ted by fighting, and they also knew
for that reason that the landing of
the Colombian troops would not be
permitted. Outside of that they had
no assurances whatever. and what
we did. we did on our own respon-
sibility and depended on the justice
of the cause for the recognition.
The sentiment of the people of Pan
anna is to make the Isthmus what
it's geographical location intended
that it should be- It's mission is to
bind together the two Americas, and
to be the gateway between the two
worlds The building of the canal
now lies with the people of the Uni

THEY MUST RESPECT OUR RIGHTS.
The United States Government Enters
Vigorous Protest.

San Domingo Especially United
States Minister Powell has sent a
strong protest to the Dominican gov
eminent based on the following
grounds:
That the action Of the Dominican
government in sending to Congress a
project for establishing the neutrality
OF Dominican waters and making GER
tain ports free would in view of the
fact that Santo Domingo is neigh.
boring state, not be accepted in a
friendly spirit by the government OF
the United States.
That the United States government
would not allow the establishment OF
any coaling ports in Santo Domingo or
the ccSSion Of any portion OF Santo
Domingo territory to any European
power.
That the United States will not per-
NIT any nation to make exclusive use
OF Dominican waters in time Of peace,
much less in time of war. Nor could
the United States allow any portion OF
Dominican territory to be classed as
neutral, nor permit any section of the
country to conflict with the concession
granted to the Clyde Line, according
to which all vessels arriving from for
eign ports are compelled to pay port
dues, excepting the Clyde steamers"
The American protest has excited
considerable comment. Minister Pow
ell, it is pointed out, seems to be de-
TERMED to have the rights of Ameri-
cans respected by the government Of
Dominica

Interest In the Canal.

Interest in the Panama canal situation
now centers in the communication which
DR.. Herran, from the Colombian charge,
recently submitted to the state depart
ment from his government.
Just what the nature of this is Dr.
Herran and the state department officials
decline to say on the ground that it is of
a confidential character, but it is under
stood that it is in the nature of pro-
position which will keep alive the canal
negotiations with the Colombian govern
ment after the expiration of September

pires by limitation.

revulsion of feeling in the Colombian

RADIUM POWER ENLARGED
Mixed With MiiIenite Its Activity is
Multiplied.
GREAT POSSIBILITIES IN MEDICINE.
Preparations Are Now Being Made for Ex-
per men.s IN Connection With Diseases,
and Several New Theories Have Been Ad.
vaneed and VIII Be Tested In the Near
Future-l7,0o0 Specimens of Mineral Used.

New York (SpeciaD.-Working in
experiments toT>ther, Mr.. George F.
Kunz, honorary >.srator of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History, and DR..
Charles Baskerville, of the University of
North Carolina, believe they have made
valuable discovery in connection with
the mysterious substance known as rad
ium.
This discovery is that by mixing
radium with natural willemite, pulver-
lied to a powder, the activity or power
of the former substance is multiplied
hundredfold and probably-as no instru-
ment has been devised for measuring the
increase of activity-a thousandfold.
That at least is the temporary affect OF
the mixing of the two substances lime
will tell whether one will nullify the
other. Wilemite is a comparatively
cheap silicatc of zinc.
1t is possible also that there is i'll willie
mite a substance which is as yet un-
recognized as a distinct element, but
which produces the radio-activity that
has awakened the enthusiasm of the two
experimenters.
1t is the assertion of DR.. Kunz that
radium without the interposition of glass
is much more highly active.
1t is possible that it is these RAYS
which cause the glass tubes in which
radium ordinarily is contained to trrn
to a purplsh hue. Fused rock-crystal
Walls have been made by Tiffany lapi-
daries, under instructions from DR..
Kunz, and he has discovered that radium
placed in these vials loses much less OF
its activity than when it is placed III a
glass vial
Preparations are now being made for
experiments in connection with diseases
and several new theories have been adj
vanccd and will be tested in the near
future. The plans are practically COM
plcte for testing the effect of radium ON
skin diseases, including growths of a
cancerOuS nature.
In the experiments that have been car
ricd on in this city recently more than
1900 specimens of mineral have been
used.
In a photographers dark room DR.:
Kunz showed a reporter a glass tube of
radium of 100000 power activity which
glowed like an incandescent pencil. BY
its side was placed small vial of fused
rock crystal in which was placed small
quantity of the same radium. lmme-
diately the radiance of the glass tube
paled into comparative insigniiance, the
rock crystal vial burning like point of
living fire. >.
DR.. Kunz next displayed quantity of
radium so weak that only the faintest
glow from it was perceptible. DR.. kunz
mixed with it a quantity of pulverized
willemtc. Immediately there was a glow
that filled the entire room, though in
faint manner.
