CABINET TALKS OF
 PANAMA AFFAIRS Sole Topic for Consideration at
 Yesterdays Meeting NEW REPUBLIC ANNOUNCED President Roosevelt Makes Formal Declaration to State officials.--st- uation Reasonably Satisfactory
 Executive and Advisers.
NEW REPUBLIC ANNOUNCED

Washington, November 13.-At today's cabinet meeting practically the only sub ject under consideration was the Panama situation. All of the members arrived at the executive offices early except Sec retary Hay, who was delayed for half an hour by important engagements.
 The birth of the new republic sgnalized by the reception of its accredited minister M Philippe Bunau-Yarilla, was announced by the President. In that connection the whole Panama situation was discussed briefly, particular attention being devoted to prospective developments in congress. Both the President and members of the cabinet have taken up the matter with members of the senate and house with view of reconciliation of any differences that may exist and to the securing of har- monious action if possible on the lsthmian canal question.
 It can be stated authoritatively that the situation as it now presents itself is reas- onably satisfactory to the President and his advisors. Several days ago formal inquiry was made by the war department whether it would be necessary in any probable event to send troops to the Isth- mus. The reply was that none would be needed. In fact officials of the admins tration deprecate even a suggestion of such action, as they state emphatically there Is no foundation for it.
