government of Guatemala toward the
new republic of Panama, President

the Herald as follows:
'In Guatemala, the recognition OF the

wholly within it's rights. In Guate-
mala, Panama's sovereignty will be OBJ
served and respected.
This nation, as a matter Of fact, be-
lieves that the resolution for the estab-
lishment Of the republic is valid under
International law.
"Guatema1a, however, up to the pres

as is contained in the public press"
A PANAMA MANS VIEWS.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-Federico
Boyd, a member of the commission of
the Government of Panama, which has
just arrived from Panama, says that
in few days a constitutional conven-
ton will meet to formulate a system of
government which will follow closely
| the lines of the United States Consti-
| tuition. In discussing the revolution he
was asked:
What assurances, IL any, did YOU
have from the United States in refer
ence to its attitude toward the u2ris-
| ine?"
I'VE knew. Of course" he replied,
that American men-of-war would be
there to see that the traffic across the
| isthmus was not interrupted and we
| knew for that reason landing of Col
ombian troops would not be permitted.
| Outside of that we had no assurances.
f. What we did we did on our own re-
sponsibility and depended upon the JUS
tice of our cause for, recognition. The
question of possible, annexation of the
| isthmus to the United States had not
| yet been talked about.
1.-The sentiment of the people of Pa
| nama," Mr.. Boyd added, sis to make
| the isthmus what it seems destined to
be from its geographical position and
to place 1t where it can perform most
efficiently its mission in the interest of
progress and civilization and become
| what it has been intended to be-a link
binding together the two Americas and
a gateway between two worlds. The
building of the canal now lies with the
United States"
