IL Is a covenant, MS lawyers say, that
runs with the land The name OF
New Granada has passed away its
territory has been divided But as long
as the isthmus endures, the great geo.
graphical fact keeps alive the solemn
compact which binds the holders OF the
territory to grant us freedom of tran
sit, and binds us In return to safe
guard for the isthmus and the world
he exercise Of that inestlmable privll-
eye,
1T is, therefore, too clear for discus
sion that when, at the repeated solicita-
ton Of the government of Colombia, a
treaty was entered into between that
government and the United states for
carrying into effect the long considered
plan of n canal cross the isthmus, to
be owned and controlled by the govern
ment OF the United States,it was no new
proposition that was being adopted, but
rather the carrying out of long cher
ishcd plan of both countries and the as
serton of right which had been long
since conceded In principle by the gov
eminent Of Colombia, II was the unit
Versal conviction that the time had
come for this gigantic project TO be car
ried out II was too great for indi-
vdual or corporate enterprise II could
only be initiated and carried to a con-
clusion by a government Of great power
and vast resources, and the only gov
eminent TO which II was a possibility
was that of the United States. BY au-
thorization OF Congress the president
entered into a treaty with the govern
ment OF BogOta for the construction Of
a canal by way of the isthmus of Pana-
ma, Wishing to show every consldera-
ton to the government of Colombia, the
treaty contained provisions Of eXtraor-
binary llberaity A large bonus was
given for the privilege Of constructing
the canal, and all this was I'm addition
10 the numberless benefits which would
accrue 10 the Colombian government
and people from the construction on
/ their territory OF this colossal work The
treaty was promptly ratified by the sem
ate Of the United States and rejected
unanimously and without consideration
by that OF Colombia.
"The suggestions which have been
made TO this government since the fall
ure OF the treaty in Bogota, OF re-
newal of negotiations, have been too
vague and too eNtrayagant to merit the
serious consideration of the United
States. and they were such as to create
the impression in the minds Of the peo-
pie of Panama that there was no rea-
sonable prospect of the accomplishment
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 recently
attracted the attention of this country
and OF the world. Although there has
been no lack for many years past of the
| numerous causes of discomfort and
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
ment, which had never proved entirely
satisfactory. They went 20 work with
that talent for prompt and secret or
ganization TO which there Is no parallel
among people OF northern blood, they
prepared the machinery Of revolution
in advance, and suddenly, In single
day, without the iirlng of a shot-with
the exception OF few shells that were
thrown into the city from Colombian
steamer In the harbor OF Panama-they
accomplished their independence. \

citizens OF the state, was at once or
ganized and proclaimed TO the world, a

bla, aud, so far as we are able TO judge,
the new republic begins It's career with
no organized opposition throughout the
entire extent Of the lsthmus,
1.-THE course Of the president In this
conjunction was marked out I'm advance
by all our principles and precedents.
lie gave orders that traffic from one
side of the lsthmus to the other should
be kept unimpeded by either party, and
charged our officers on the isthmus TO
use their utmost influence TO prevent
any attack by the contending factions
upon the other which would be calCul-
ated to cause a disturbance of traffic,
When it was reported to him that u
government capable of maintaining or
der had been established and was work
ing without opposition, he did what Is
always done under such circumstances,
He directed our representative at Pam
anna, 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 also directed our minister In l}ogota
10 inform the Colombian government
that we had entered into regulations
with the new provisional government
OF Panama. and he took occasion, re-
lying upon the ties OF friendship and
the valuable services which we have
so often rendered TO the people OF PAN
anna and the government Of Colombia,
TO commend 10 the respective govern
ments the peaceful and equitable settle
ment of all questions at issue between
them. 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 20 put a stop,
which we hope and believe viii be a
final one, to the incessant civil contests
and chickering's which have been for so
many years the curse OF Panama HaV-
ing regard only to the present crisis
and the needs OF the hour, no palmer
duty was ever imposed upon chief OF
state than that which rested upon the
president of the United States in the
interest Of the isthmus, the people OF
Colombia the people of the United
States and the commerce of the world,
10 preserve for the benefit Of all free
transit over the isthmus. and to do all
that lay In his power to bring a perma-
nent peace to its people"

that we should not hesitate to MAINTAIN
the neutrality of the isthmus IN the
case of war between Peru and Colon p
bia. In 1864 Colombia, which has al
ways been vigilant to avail itself OF us
privilege conferred by the treaty, eN-
pressed it's expectation that IN the
event Of war between Peru ana SPAN
the United States would carry INTO
effect the guarantee of neutrality
There have been few administrations
of the state department In which this
treaty has not, by either one side or
the other. been used as the basis OF
more or less important demands.
1T was said by Mr.. Fish in 1871 that
the department Of state had reason to
believe that an attack upon Colom-
bian sovereignty on the lsthmus had
on several occasions been averted by
warning from this government. In
1886, when Colombia was under the
menace of hostllities from italy in the
Cerruti case, Mr. Bayard expressed the
serious concern that the United states
could not but feel that a European
power should resort 20 force against
a sister republic on this hemisphere,
as to the sovereign and uninterrupted
use of part Of whose territory we
are guarantors under the solemn faith
of a treaty. The United States has not
only constantly protected Colombia
from foreign invasion on the strength
OF the rights and the duties created
by the treaty OF 1916. but has time
and again interviewed to preserve the
freedom of traffic from disturbance In
the course of domestic dlssensions, In
these cases we have interviewed some
times at the suggestion of Colombia,
sometimes on our own impression OF
the necessities of the case, but always
TO the profit of Colombia as well as
universal commerce. The position OF
the United States was clearly set forth
by Mr. Seward In these words:
"'The United States have taken and
will take no interest I'm any question Of
internal revolution I'm the state of Pana-
ma or any state Of the United States
of Colombia, but will maintain perfect
neutrality i'm regard 10 such domestic
controversies The United States will
nevertheless, hold themselves ready to
protect the transit trade across the
isthmus against invasion of either do
mestic or foreign dlsturbers Of the
peace of the state of Panama
There has never been any doubt of
the validity of the treaty of 1916 to
guarantee free and omen transit either
for American citizens or for the gov
eminent of the United States. We
have used the isthmus for the transit
of troops and OF fugitlves from JUS
tlce, and protocol was signed at
Bogota on the 22nd of February, 1879
acknowledging this right of transit for
troops and extradited fugltiyes belong
ing to the United States, right, az is
declared In the protocol, which Is es-
tablished IN compensation for the guar
antee of the sovereignty and property
of the isthmus, to which the same gov
ernment is bound
1T must not be lost sight OF that

ncacy on the personnel of the signers
