COLOMBlA'SBONDEDDEBT
European BondholderS Want
Panama to Assume a Share
of the Same.

The State Department received official
dispatches this morning from both Bra
zil and Germany in regard to the new
Republic of Panama Each OF them in-
dicates that Just so soon as a regular
government shall have been establish
ed there. it will be formally recognized
by the communicating government. Al
the present time the State Department
is conhning its efforts in behalf of the
new republic to urging upon the junta
the advisability of seeking at an early
date an honorable adjustment OF its
differences with Colombia.
This advice has not set proceeded so
far as to urge the assumption OF a por-
tiOn OF the Colombian national debt, as
has been suggested by the foreign bond
holders. Doubt exists as to the liability
Of Panama for any of the Colombian
debt. The Colombian bonds held IN
Great Britain are said to have been is
sued before the isthmus became a part
OF Colombia. 1t cannot be shown that
Panama has enjoyed any beRefits from
the money derived by the sale of these
bonds, as Colombia has made few ini-
provements on the isthmus.
Total Debt SIs,oOo,ooO.
London dispatches announce that
holders Of Colombian bonds win endeav-
or to prevent the Netherlands from rec
ognizing the republic Of Panama until
an agreement is reached by which the
isthmus will assume part Of the debts
of Colombia.
Most of the Colombian bonds are held
in Great Britain and Holland. European
papers express the opinion that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Hay will
not allow Panama 70 ts,ze any action
thas VIII be in the nature Of repuiiatioli
of its share of the debts Of Colombia.
The total Colombian debt with interest
Is estimated at SIS 50OO, 600. and foreign
bondholdeTs would be satisfied If one
third OF this We're assumed by Panama.
Commissioners Received.
Secretary Hay received DIR. Amador
Guerro and FredericO Boyd. the Pan
anna Canal commissioners formally at
10 o'clock this morning. the representa-
tives Of the Panama government were
presented to the Secretary Of State by
NJ Bunau-Varlila, the Panama min
lister. and discussed canal matters with
Mr. Hay for half an hour.
At the conclusion of their conference
with the Secretary OF State the cora-
llllS1iDAtEI5 5d4u the AGILlS OA the CGlAdi
treaty are satisfactory to them and
they Will Immediately advise their gov
ernment TO ratify the convention. The
treaty will be sent by mali at once to
Panama and on December 1 the com
missioners will sail for the isthmus.
They viii arrive there on December Z
and on December 10 viii be given full
authority 10 ratify the treaty.
Il was made clear by the commits
sioners and NJ. Bunau-Varilla that the
canal negotiations are the chief busl-
ness of the temporary government and
must take precedence over all other
matters.

A SHAW MATINEE.

A large audience gathered at the Princess Theatre
yesterday afternoon to witness performance OF
George Bernard Shaw's comedy. Candida by
Arnold Daily and company OF players whom Mr..
DAILY had gathered. Candida is the third Of the
four Pleasant Plays" of which Arms and the
Man" pressated in this country by Mr.. Mans

stage directions are quite as wonderful as
anything Shaw wrote. the opening de-
scription Of the view of London East End from the
window Of Parson MoreIls study being Shaw at
his most amusing pitch. But the audience came
yesterday to hear Shaw, fOrewarned and forearmed
and they stayed to enjoy the performance to the
end, greeting it with increasing enthusiasm the
afternoon advanced, Mr.. DAILY himself played the
part Of Marchbanks the eighteen-year-old poet
