 Havana, November 22-General Victor salazar. formerly governor of the depart ment of Havana. who during the last revolution was supreme commander of all the Colombian forces on the isthmus. having been requested to give his opn- ion concerning the present trend of af- fairs on the isthmus, teegraphs as fol- lows. from Palmira, in the department of Cauca:
 "Palmira, November 21-T consider the movement unworthy and unpatrlotic. deplore 1t deeply, because in each Pana- man 1 see friend and brother, and be- cause for that land I would wish only days of glory and welfare The road it follows leads to suicide. and even now 1t is not too late to reflect and save Pana- ma the horrible consequences.
 "The department of Cauca and Anti quoia, and the whole of Colombia. with out political or social distinctions will rise like one man to defend the national | integrity.
 General Uribe-Uribe. General Benjamin Herrera and all Liberals have offered their services to the government An my of 100 600 men now being organized and to be commanded by both liberal and conservative leaders. will soon march on the isthmus.
 "The fact that American help was ask ed for and accepted by Panama, charac- terlzes the movement as reasonable to the fatherland. misleading In sentiment and offensive to the national dignity. (Signed) VICTOR SALAZAR."
 Has Bitter Dislike.
 Since 1902 when Admiral Casey refused i to permit transportation of Colombian i troops on the Panama railroad. General ] Salazar has entertained a bitter dislike for the people of the United States. At | that time he cabled through the Asscci- ated Press a sensational protest to the world against the action of Admiral Ca- : sey.
 i General Salazar Is most influential ] among the younger element of the Co., lombians. He is courageous and ener- getlc. but of a qihxotic nature and prob ably believes that his statement that an army of 10000 is being organized. will stun the people of the new republic.
 Fl Dunde fin last nights edition says:
 The Panamans alone do not fear the ] coombians, but they fear them less. TOW that they are assured of the aid of heir Yankee brothers"
 It Is believed here that any organization og a big army by Colombia will result In the downfall of President Marraquins government, brought about by the fiber ] erals or by a combination of the nation- lsts headed by former President Carro.
