 XProof that the Panama revolution was

 eadQuarters were at the Waidorf-As"
 bria, made three visits to washington Ind at least on one occasion were grant
 3 an audience with Secretary of state Hay. They frankly told that official wnat *pey hoped to accomplish and asked ms
 p-operation for the fulfillment of their
 pans. But the interview Is said to nave
 trned out unsatisfactory.
 The Secretary of State was not ready
 his official capacity to extend recogni- &on to A revolutionary movement. That "a or somebody else identified with the
 Administration took cognizance of the in- kntions of the conspirators and made .hady to enable the United States to

 rom Colon to Washington as a special
 mbassador of the Panama republic. Am
 ior was virtual head of the Waldorf-As-
 bria junta. Because he was a native Ef Panama and had been mixed up in Ether revolutions it was deemed pru- ] ent step by the spectators and adven-
 enturers who initiated the movement to <eep him in the forefront. M. Bunua- #arilla, the present minister from Papa- |ha, who was received formally by the President the other day, did not turn Fp as an active member of the Junta *ntil -Amador found it necessary to go *p Colon. Varilla is understood to have &een in Paris when the first steps were #aken and he did not come to the United *tates until the movement was fairly #nder way. Then he was sent for by per-

 Scandal Will Be Disclosed.
 One thing remains to be developed, and i hat is the identity of the secret agent

Dr. Shaw recently has #enied that he obtained the data for Nils remarkable forecast of the event Of Evolution from the President. If he did Not obtain it from the President he ob- &ained it from Secretary Hay, for he is as *htimate with the Secretary of State as #e is with the President. In either event #ne doctors article proves conclusively
