PANAMA INDEPENDENCE
Declared Officially Amid Scenes Of

Shells Into Panama Without DAM
age-WesIthy Men Back Of Move

Colon. Colombia. Nov 5.--WithOut
the firing of shot and amid scenes Of
great enthusiasm the independence OF
the isthmus and the department OF
Panama was declared
The city OF Panama is now in the
hands OF the revolutiOnists, and no
serious attempt has been made to re-
capture It. The Colombian gnnboai
Bogota arrived in the harbOr after the
declaration OF independence and threw
a few shells into the city without do
ing damage To life or property. Per
feet order prevails in Colon. and trans
isthmian trains are running as usual
without interruption.
In Panama the flag OF the new re-
public in colors Of red. white and
blue. floats over the government build
ings. Tho movement for independ-
ence has been In progress since the
rejection by the congress at BogotS
OF the Hay-llerran canal treaty, but
it's sudden ripcning was due to the
Ion Of the Colombian gunboat Carta-
gena. with Generals Toyar and Amaya
and number of troops. The move
mcnt has been promoted by prominent
and wealthy isthmians and Governor
Ohaldia OF the department OF Panama,
who ON computing the troops and citi-
zens in favor of independence. found
that they numbered al least 1900. The
advocates of independence, both at
Panama and Colon. are now iuhilant.
The presence OF the United States
glInboat Nashville az Colon Is be-
lieved to have resulted in the avoid
ance OF serious trouble. As the re-
suit OF the conference here Colonel
Torres. commanding the troops at Co
Ion. has just sent on a special train
to Panama a representative TO confer
with General Tovar. whose uncondi'
tional release is demanded.
In reliable quarters II Is believed
that peaceful results will follow pro
posal just made to Colonel Torres. that
the American troops will return To
the Nashville II he guarantees to main
tain order
This proposal was accepted by Col
onel Torres. The United States ma
rlnes then returned 10 the Nashville.
The British consul has suggested
that II requested a contingent OF troops
will be sent to Colon from the British
cruiser Amphion. now at Panama. IL
Is believed that the Nashville will be
hardly sufficient Tor all emergencies.
