Washington, Nov 6.-The Associ-
ated press Is informed that the presi-
dent probably will make . statement
to-day regarding the provisional GOV
eminent of the republic Of Panama. OF
the establishment Of which this gov
eminent was oficially informed yes
terday. In view of the latest adyices
from Colon to the effect that the junta
has succeeded in gaining control OF
the situation, 1t is currently expected
that this announcement will recog-
nize the newly-established govern
ment, but 1t was impossible to secure
ofIlcial information on this point.
The decision to make an announce
uient to-day was reached after . con-
ference at the white house last night
Of the president, Secretary Hay, Sec
rotary Moody, Assistant Secretary
Ioomis. Rear Admiral John G. Walk
or (retired) and Rear Admiral Henry
G. Taylor, chief Of the bureau OF navi-
cation.

state that this government Will con-
duct affairs with firm hand In the
execution of the treaty Of 1916. Or
ders have been sent to the various
naval commanders in the Caribbean
that the isthmus is to be policed, the
transit kept open and also that blood
shed must be prevented at any cost.
This is further than the United States
ever has gone heretofore and In the
opinion Of officials here indicates that
the establishment of the new govern
ment at Panama, II 1t proves stable
and orderly, will have the good wishes
Of the United States and our ultimate
recognition and cooperation in con-
Quoting an orderly and permanent gov
ernment on the isthmus. Advocates
Of the construction of the Panama ca
nal say this assures the execution OF
that project.
II was learned last night that the
Prairie will sail from League island
next week with 800 marines for Guam
tanamo and that in case the situation
continues serious on the isthmus the
Prairie will proceed thence to Colon
and land additional marines.

taneous demand on the part Of the
lsthmian people and that the board
was assured Of the necessary military

cause Of the revolution in the Panama
lsthmus, which is currently accepted

zeitung, in taking this view, says:
The reason why the president waited
TWO months after Colombia rejected
he treaty without negotiating will
Nicaragua is now clear-the United
States was finding an effective way o.
attaining its ends by working behint
he scenes"
Says We Want to Annex Panama.
Mexico City, Nov. 6.-There is grea'
public interest here in the Panama rev
button and the undercurrent OF tall
n clerical party circles where Colon
,ia is regarded as in sympathy Will
he clerical party programme is tina
he American authorities are the 30
ret promoters Of this disturbance and
ire planning to seize the Panama re
don and annex It to the United States
