EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Panama Recognition Approved.

At the Cabinet meeting Nov. 10th
the Panama situation was the sole
topic of discussion. The whole situa-
ton in respect to the revolution out
of which has grown the Republic of
Panama was considered thoroughly.
Approval of the course of the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hay in the matter
was given by members Of the Cab
met.
No further statements concerning
the organization of the new republic
or the relations between Panama and
the United States regarding the con-
strnction Of the Isthmian canal will
be made at this time. The situation,
SO far as American interests on the
isthmus are concerned, is regarded to
be in excellent shape.
1t is not regarded as likely that any
additional naval force will be ordered
to the isthmus. Certainly no land
forces will be ordered to Panama, un-
less the situation should take serious
turn.
An important conference concerning
the Panama situation was held at the
White House Just prior to the formal
meeting of the Cabinet. The partici-
pants in the conference were Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Senator Hanna and
members of the Cabinet.
1--WE talked Of variety of topics"
said Senator Hanna. among them the
Panama situation. That is not po-
litical question-not even a technical
one. The people Of this country want
an lsthmian canal built, and they want
1t built by the Panama route. They
have accepted the Panama route, and
they propose to stand by the President
in the matter of constructing the canal
by that route"
Rear Admiral Glass, commanding
the Pacific Station, arrived at Panama
this morning with the cruiser Marble
head and the gunboat Concord.
By virtue of his rank, Admiral Glass
will have supreme command over the
naval forces in the vicinity of Panama.
There is no expectation here of a
hostile clash on the isthmus, for it is
believed that the Colombian govern
ment, when fully advised Of what has
happened. will accept the inevitable,
and not attempt to send troops to at
tack Panama in the face of the United
States naval vessels guarding the ap
proaches.

Pension Officers.

large quantities OF rifles and is telling
