AMERICANS DO WELL.
They Are Credited With the Avoidance
of Boodshed at Colon.

+ COLON, Nov. 6.-The avoidance of
bloodshed in Colon, following the proc
! lamation Of the independence of the
tisthmus, the maintenance of perfect
order and the withdrawal Of the CO.
lombian troops from the city, are
| looked upon as in great part due to
| the courage and ability displayed by
Commander Hubbard, of the United
States gunboat Nashville, to the
bravery of her officers and men and
to the tact of Col. Shaler, superin-
tendent of the Panama railroad. Col.
Black, Of the United States engineer
corps, and Senior Porfirio Mendes, the
new civil and military governor of
Colon, also rendered signal service
during the critical situation, which
found its peaceful settlement in the
embarkation of Col. Torres and his
troops on the Orinoco. The embarka-
ton took place just prior to the ar
rival Of the United States auxiliary
cruiser Dixie, whose marines guard
ed the town last night. All Of the
Dixie's marines have now returned to
their ship. During the day Senior
Cuadros, project of Colon, and Alcalde
Guerrero were arrested and sent to
Panama
It is reported that there are several
persons in Colon who are discomfort
ed with the new order Of things, but
1t is said that they are carefully
watched. Everything here is quiet
and the population is rejoicing. The
Nashville sailed this afternoon for a
cruise along the coast with the object
Of preventing the rumored efforts of
the Colombian gunboat Cartagena to
land troops at Porto Bello.
The critical situation of Wednesday
began when the troops under Col. Tor
res took an aggressive position near
the railroad building, and the lives
of Americans for a time seemed
threatened. Today's Panama Star and
Herald says that, according to in
formation in it's possession, Col. Torres
obtained $4,000 in gold from the

BERLIN. Nov 6.-The theory as to
the cause Of the revolution which is
currently accepted here is that the
United States brought it about, with
the object of building the interoceanic
canal. 1t is officially stated here that
the only desire of Germany is to see
peace preserved. and to have the
United States build the interoceanic
canal, which would benefit German
commerce. Germany looks to the

people of Panama that there was no
reasonable prospect of the accomplish
ment Of the object upon which their
hopes and desires had been set FOR
many years.
'This brings us to the sudden and
startling events which have SO recent
ly attracted the attention OF TINS coQn-
try and Of the world. Although tnere
has been no lack for many years past
of numerous causes of discomfort ana
anxiety among the people of Panama,
/ it appears that the failure OF the canal
treaty convinced them that there was
nothing more to be hoped for In their
connection with the Colombian govern
n1ert, which had never proved entlrely
satisfactory. They went to work, With
that talent for prompt and secret Or
ganizatfon to- which there is no par
allef among people of Northern blood;
they prepared the machinery of revolu-
ton in advance, and. suddenly in a
single day, without the firing Of a shot
with the exception of a few shells
that were thrown into the city from a
Colombian steamer in the harbor OF
Panama-they accomplished their in
dependence. So far as we are able to
judge, the new republic begins its
career with no organized opposition
throughout the entire extent Of the
isthmuS.

conjuncture was marked out In adj
vance by all our principles and prece-
dents. when itswas reported toi.him
that a government capable of main
tanning order had been established and
was working without opposition, he
did what is always done under such
circumstances. He directed our rep
Fresentative at Panama, as soon as he
was certain that a government capable
of maintaining the public peace had
been established by the consent of
the people, that he was to enter into
official relations with it.
''He took occasion at the same time
to give notice to the world that not
only our treaty obligations, but the
imperative demands of the interests
of civilization. required him to put
stop, which we hope and believe will be
a final one, to the iincessant civil con-
tests and chickering's which have been
for so many years the curse of Pan
anna. Having regard only to the pres
ent crisis and the needs of the hour, no
palmer duty was ever imposed upon a
chief of state than that which rested
upon the presidentaof the United States,
in the interest of the isthmus, the peo-
pie of Colombia, the people of the
United States and the commerce of the
world, to preserve for the benefit of
all free transit over the isthmus and to

EHRMAN IS INSTRUCTED.
State Department. Hopes for Peace
Between. Colombia and Panama.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Nov. 6.-The
following telegram was sent by the
state department to Mr.. Ehrman, the
acting consul general of the United
States at Panama: So
"The people of Panama have, by an
apparently unanimous movement, dis
solved their political relations with the
republic of Colombia and assumed their
independence When you are satisfied
that a de facto government republican
in form, and without substantial oppo-
sition from it's own people, has been
established in the state of Panama,
you will enter into relations with 1t as
the responsible government of the ter
ritorys and look to it for all due action
to protect the persons and property of
citizens of the United States, and to
keep open the isthmian transit, in ac-
cordance with the obligations of ex-
listing treaties governing the relations
of the United States to that territory
Immediately afterward an instruction
was sent by telegram to Mr.. Beaupre,
the United States minister at Bogota,
in the following terms:
'The people of Panama, having by
an apparently unanimous movement
dissolved their political connection with
the republic of Colombia and resumed
their independence, and having adopted
a government OI lLae1r- own, republican
in form, with which the government of
the United States of America has en-
tered into relations, the president of
the United States, in accordance with
the ties of friendship which have SO
long and so happily existed between
the respective nations most earnestly
commends to the governments of Co
lombia and of Panama the peaceful and
equitable settlement of all questions at
issue between them. He holds that he
is bound not merely by treaty obliga-
lions, but by the interests of civiliza-
ton, to see that the peaceful traffic of
the world across the isthmus of Pana-
MA shall not longer be disturbed by a
constant succession Of unnecessary and

This declaration is regarded as doubly

Civil and Military Governor INDUCES
in Verbal Pyrotechnics.
COLON, Colombia, Nov. 6.-Shortly
before the flag of the republic of Pan
anna was formally hoisted over the
prefecture here this morning the new
civil and military governor, Porfirio
MelendeZ, delivered an grafton. He
said:
"Isthmians: In the year 1921 the
population of the Isthmus Of Panama
severed the tie that bound it to the
government Of Spain and spontane-
ously adhered to the then new republic
Of Colombia. Neither the spontane-
BUSINESS of this act nor many other
subsequent ones Of fidelity to Colombia
have had the effect of having the gov
ernments that succeeded each other at
Bogota concede to the isthmus, except
on paper, the same rights that they
had granted to the inhabitants Of other
Colombian sections. Neither were the
votes of the isthmians ever taken into
account, nor were their just complaints
and patriotic aspirations attended to.
"In virtue whereof, and the ties of
union with Colombia being for these
reasons severed, the population of
Panama en- masse, taking into account
the noble conduct of their progenitors
on Nov. %, 1921, have proclaimed the
republic Of Panama and have appoint
ed a supreme board Of government,
which the troops and public Of Pan
anna, without political distinction, and
the foreign colony obey with enthusi-
asm. Delegated by that board, have
| assumed command of this province and
trust you will all surround us with
your support for the purpose of raising
on high and without blemish the flag
of the new state, for the purpose of ce-
menting the authority with which am
invested and in order to maintain So
cial tranquility.
"The government of this new repub-
lie aspires to give the isthmus a def
mite and true era Of progress SO that 1t
may not remain behind in the advance
of civilization which the clock of time
marks in the other states of the uni
verse;
The consular corps at Colon was
present, but through the French con-
sui as spokesman the members said
they were not there in any official ca
pacity. The flag Of the new republic
was raised amidst much cheering and
general rejoicing and simultaneously
fireworks were exploded all over the
town.

mittee of the senate to obtain from the
state department detailed report of
the treaty of 1916. According to Sena-
tor Morgan the attitude of this coun-
try is not justified by careful con-
struction of the provisions of the trea-
ty, and is at variance with precedents
laid down by the United States. In
discussing the situation today, he said:
This is the fourth time the United
States has landed troops on the 18TH
mus under cloak Of the treaty. Here
tofore it has been for the suppression
of riotfng and for the protection of CO.
lombia. Now that it is against the wish
of Colombia. it undoubtedly will pro-
woke just protest."

no disturbances at Panama today.

fifty miles southwest of Panama, have

and almost every moment kilograms
are received from the most important

Gen. Tovar Accepts Junta's Terms.

PANAMA, Colombia, Nov. 6. =
Gen. Tovar and his staff have at last
been convinced of the uselessness of
their resistance to the provisional gov
eminent and have accepted the terms
offered by the junta. They will en-
bark this afternoon for Colon on an
express train and will leave immediate
ly on the Royal mail steamer Orinoco
for Cartagena. The arrangement to
this end was made through the efforts
of Commander Hubbard, of the United
States gunboat Nashville, Supt. Shaler
and Assistant Superintendent Prescott,
of the Panama railroad, who guarantee
that both parties will fulfill the agree
ment. There is great rejoicing all over
the city because the stability Of the
republic now seems assured. The fact
that troops were already moving to-
ward the line probably decided Gen.
Tovar and his staff to accept the terms
of the junta.
