THE JUNTA's MANIFESTO.
The revolutionary junta last night published
O. manifesto addressed 10 the citizens Of the
Republic q Panama. saying that the inhabitants
~ the isthrlus had done what was inevitable
IN view q the situation. which was becoming
r-aver daily. L was pointed out that notwith-
Standing the grievances inflicted on the 18th
Tnians by their Colombian brothers, the former
rad suffered with resignation for the sake Of
harmony and the union and IN view Of the
ssc4 that reparation vas possible so long rs
homes could be entertained OF an improvement IN
-. situation and OF the isthmus ultimately
making effective progress under Colombian rule.
Under the recent system OF Colombian govern
-,~-r ne inhabitants Of the isthrnus had been
xcvs-1ed with the narrowmindedness which in
osyr gone by had been applied 10 American
colonies By the powers OF Europe
The manifesto then refers TO the fact that the
.r1huus OF Panama Melted 10 Colombia large
FILLS n customs dues. adding that while the
su.ts did not wish IN this exposition OF facts,
With would be handed down to posterity, 70 be
-erzrded as being moved by naercenary spirit.
nevertheless, IL only just TO point out that
s- mite OF the large sums % money collected
from the isthmus for fiscal purposes the latter
department had not received the benefit OF even

The failure Of the Hay-Herran canal treaty

thar only few public men were opposed 10 the
treaty. and that their opposition was due 70 the
fact that IL was alleged that Panama would be

which must result in perpetual stability
At the beginning Of the life Of this indie
pendent nation we fully appreciate the response
hilitles hich the present state Of affairs means
but have profound faith in the good sense
and patriotism Of the isthmiarl s. and believe
that they possess sufficient energy 10 open the
way, by their labor, 10 a happy future, without
WOrry OF danger
The separation Of the isthulus from Colombia
was accomplished without any feeling Of hatred
any sentiment Of Joy. Just a with
draws from the pax .Tnal roof the isthuian peo-
pie. taking their chosen path, have separated
themselves from Colombia. They did il with
grief. but they compiled with their supreme. in
eyttabie duty. that OF looking 20 their
future, Of attending 20 their own preservation
and Of working out their own welfare
