NEW REPUBLIC RECOGNIZED.

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PACED
the Colombian government very bitterly re-.
sented this attitude on the part of the
United States government holding that it
had infringed sovereign right on
the isthmus and had interfered with allow
Ing Colombia itself to quell the revolution,
but DIR. Herran, the Colombian minister, to-
day emphatically denied that he had made
any such representations. while the State
Department officials asserted that nothing
of this character had so far come from the
Colombian government directly or indi-
rectly. So for practical purposes the sep
aration OF Panama from Colombia is COM
plete and is likely to be permanent, accord
ing to the official belief here.
1t was authoritatively stated to-day that
though the recognition of the new republic
is of a business character at first, con-
sistingr of an authorization throughout our
consular officials on the isthmus to do
did with the Colombian government, this
will in due time be followed by full polit-
ical recognition. This latter form of recog-
milton will be deferred until the govern
ment at Panama has taken more regular
form. It is presumed here that the junto
will very soon issue a call for a conven-
ton which will adopt a constitution and
provide for the selection of q President.
Then it will be in order for ministers to
be appointed between the two countries,
the United States and Panama. which will
constitute full political recognition of the
new State. This condition will enable the
conduct Of negotiations that may be neces-
SdTy 10 the SUCCESSFUL execution OF the
project of the United States for the con-
struction of the isthmian canal, and il is
a certainty that existing concessions will
not suffer.
1t was said at the State Department tha
as Consul General Gudger's leave of alb
sence from his post at Panama expired
within a week he would have sailed for
the sthmus within that time, regardless
of the recent stirring events. Admiral
Coghlan's flagship, the Olympia, on which
he intended to sail originally for Guam
tanamo, is now at the Norfolk navy yard
for repairs. which will consume many days.
So the admiral decided to leave without
his flagship, and the Navy Department
decided TO assign to his use the Presidents
own yacht. the Mayfiower, which now lies
at the Washington navy yard, with the
consul general also aboard. Lieutenant
Commander Gleaves, her captain, has al
ready been in consultation with Admiral
Taylor and Admiral Coughlan, and In con-
sequence is hurrying supplies aboard his
ship. Admiral Coghlan probably will ar
rive at Colon about the 18th inst, but he
will not be the ranking officer on the
isthmus, for Admira Glass, commanding
the Pacific squadron, who by cable an
nounced his sailing yesterday from Aca-
pulco for Panama, is said at the Navy
Department TO be due at that port about
the 18th, and he is Admiral Coghian's
senior.

the administration has the fullest conf
dence. On the arrival of the May1oWer at
Colon Mr.. Gudger will make himself known
at once to the de facto government, and the
usual formalitieS in such cases Will be Cd
served. He will do business directly with
the Republic of Panama. which in its pro-
visional form at present consists of an ex-
ecutive board, but which before his arrival
may easily take the form of a permanent
government.
Consul General Gudger, after visiting the
State Department, said: II am not in the
least surprised to know that the isthmus
has declared its independence. Five months
ago a revolution was a foregone conclusion,
as we all know. The sthmian people have
conducted themselves in patience and with
dignified elaboration, have awaited the adj
journment of the Colombian Congress and
the destruction of their last hope for the
ratification OF, the Hay-Herran treaty be-
fore taking this step. Their reason for this
action is the alleged refusal Of the Bogota
government TO direct its policy with some
regard TO the isthmian peoples good.
Striking proof of the stability of the gov
eminent is seen in the personnel of the
executive board which now constitutes the
provisional government. They are all three
men of the strongest character, leaders in
the isthmian commercial world, and men
who ommand the undivided respect of the
natives as well as of the foreign residents
Of the sthmus. FREDERICK Boyd, one of the
three ~consuls, and the author of the mani
festo published yesterday, is the Spanish
and Nicaraguan consul accredited to the
government Of Colombia. OF course, IL is
not to be inferred from this that these gov
ernments knew of Mr.. Boyd's connection
with the revolution.
"Of the sentiment of the people on the
isthmuS towards the United States" Mr..
Gudger said, lit Is extremely cordial and
friendly. They want Independence, annex
alton, or anything that will insure the con-
struction of the Panama canal and the con-
sequent prosperity of the isthmus. They
have the greatest confidence in the people
and the government of the United States.
American capita is already there to a
large extent and the people are DESTROYS OF
cultivatins closer relations with the United
States.
Il have not yet received my instructions.
/ am carrying the best wishes of the off,
Gals of the administration to the vice con-
sui general. Mr.. Eherman. who has con-
Quoted affairs in my absence, to the entire
satisfaction of the Washington govern
ment."
When Mr.. Gudger was asked what about
Colombia ?" he promptly replied: 1t would
be improper for me to say. You must know.
however, that Ii is the traditional policy OF
the Washington government to recognize
the de facto government. / am informed
that agents of the revolution are not worry
ing about any protest the gov
eminent may make.
LAS 1 am an American official, you must
excuse me from discussing the situation or
from commenting, in any way on the policy
of the Washington government"
Mr.. Gudger went to the Colombian lega-
ton to-day and had a conference with DIR.
Herran, the Colombian charge, who is his
personal friend.

LONDON PRESS OMMENT.


LONDON, New. THE morning papers
print long dispatches describing the situa-
ton on the Isthmus of Panama, but few
of them make editorial common on the
recognition Of the new republic by the
United States. which was regarded as a
foregone conclusion.
The Morning Post says: Friction and
trouble would inevitably nave arisen had
Colombia remained the owner Of the 18TH
mus and doubtless il is in the interests Of
civilization that Panama should declare her
independence under the shelter of American
guns. Nevertheless, we hope to have that
protest. A really first-class pro-
test addressed to the world by a Central
American republic would be a pure delight"
The Daily Mail does not believe that the
United States aided or abetted the revolu-
ton, but thinks it will mean virtual annexa-
ton. The paper says: Thus the United
States, after absorbing Spanish possessions
In the Caribbean. will draw a step nearer TO
the immense wealth of South America,
which must one day fall under their con-
troll"

MORGAN PROGRESSES WAR.
Says the United States VIII lave Its
Hands Full Soon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Morgan
said to-day that soon after Congress con-
venes in extra session he would introduce
a resolution calling on the foreign relations
committee Of the Senate to obtain from the
State Department a detailed report Of the
relations between the United States and
Colombia under the treaty of 1916. Accord
ing to Senator Morgan, the attitude of this
country is not justified by a careful con-
struction of the provisions of the treaty,
and is at variance with precedents laid
down by the United States. In discussing
the situation to-day he said: This Is the
fourth time the United States has landed
troops ON the isthmus under cloak of the
treaty. Heretofore it has been for the sup
preston of rioting and for the protection
Of Colombia. NOW that it is against the
wish of Colombia, 1t undoubtedly will pro-
woke a just protest. Colombia means war.
OF that 1 am certain. This government will
find that it will have a series of complica-
lions on it's hands not unlike that offered
by the Indians when they were met with
the territorial aggression of this govern
ment, and the trouble the Coiombians will
make will be similar to that of the Filipi-
nos, with the conduct Of warfare far more
difficult. l believe, however. the adminis-
tration will not have this matter to decide.
1t is a question for Congress, and that body
Is not likely to skirk the responsibility"

CAPE HAITIEN, Haiti. Nov. 6.-The rev.
dictionary leaders, Jiminez and Ramon
Caceres, with thirty followers, are on
board the Frer:ch mail steamer st. Simon.
which arrived to-day. The Haitien author
tiles prevented their debarkation and the
vessel proceeded for Prince.
Former Minister of the Interior Papillon.
of Haiti, has been recalled from exile, and
Immediately on. his arrival will receive am
nesty from President Nord.
The Clyde lire steamer Cherokee, which
was prevented by the authorities from en-
tering the ports of Puerto Plata and Sa-
mana, forced the blockade at the former
port and entered there yesterday.
A Dominican cruiser is off Monte Cristo,
where it is expected Jiminez and his suite
will try to land.
All is quite in the city. The insurgents
are before the capital, from which the first
shots were fireI.

Clyde Line Steamer Cherokee Held Up
by a Warsafp and Not Permitted
to Enter Certain Ports.
ORDERED TO SAN DOMINGO
WHERE THE CAPTAIN WAS IN
STRUCTE:D To LAND CARGO.
Officials of the Black Republic Defed
by Minister Poweu-BIockade Later
Passed by the Ship.

WASHINGTON. Nov. GA cablegram
has just been received at the State Depart
ment from Unsted States Minister Powell,
dated at San Domingo city to-day, stating
that the insurgents are marching on that
city and asking that a warship be at once
sent to that place. The cruiser Baltimore,
which sailed from Hampton Roads several
days ago, is now due at San Domingo and
the State DeDartment believes that her
presence there will be sufficient.
Advices from San Domingo under date
of Nov. l say: "a Dominican warship
stopped the Clyde line steamer Cherokee
as it was nearing Puerto Plata and in-
formed the captain not to enter that port.
The Cherokee then proceeded for SANTANA
and was prevented from entering that port,
the minister Of war ordering the captain
of the Cherokee TO proceed TO The capital.
On the arrival of the vessel here the gov
eminent deman1ed that the cargo intended
for Puerto Plata and SANTANA be landed at
this port. The agent of the company and
the captain OF the Cherokee refused to COM
ply with this demand and appealed to
United States Minister Powell for protec-
ton. Minister Powell called on the PreSi-
dent and argued that since the government
of Santo Domingo had not advised the for
eign legations Of any blockade it could not
prevent the CEefOkee from entering the
ports of Puerto Plata and SANTANA and. in
sisted that the cargo should be landed at
Its destination. The President in reply re-
iterated his demand that the Cherokee's
cargo be landed at San Domingo, but this
Minister Powell refused to permit and de-
clared he would hold the government re-
sponsible shouei any violent action be
adopted towards the Cherokee.
"When the Cherokee was ready TO leave
for Aqua clearance papers were refused,
and it was again demanded that she land
her cargo at this port. Minister Powell
wrote a sharp note TO the government, de-
manding a permit for the Cherokee TO de-
part. The government refused to allow a
pilot to board the vessel, and Minister Pow
ell then instructed Captain Archibald to
take his ship oat and to proceed for Aqua,
keeping his cargo aboard and landing il
at the ports of, destination. The energetic
action of Minister Powell has caused great
excitement, especially as his proceeding
lacked the support of an American war
ship. The Cherokee left the harbor with
out a pilot. The city is quiet, but prep
a%rations looking to its defense are in ac-
tive progress.

REJOICING AT COLON.
Flag of the New Republic Raised
Amid Great Cheering.

AAuA oNC&s
COLON. Colombia. Nov. 6.-Shortly be-
fore the flag of the Republic Of Panama
was formally hoisted over the prefecture
this morning the new civil and military
Governor, Porferio Melendez, delivered an
Grafton, in which he reviewed the history
Of the isthmus. He concluded thus: LET
US unite in the spirit of truth, without
hatred or rancor towards any, and, after
giving hanks to the Almighty for the
happy consummation Of this t~ranscendent
and bloodless act, assist me In saying with
enthusiasm and decision. Long live the
isthmus! long live the Republic of Pan
anal"
The consular corps at Colon was present.
but said the consuls were not there In an
official capacity. The flag of the new re-
public was raised amid much cheering and
general rejoicing, and simultaneously fire.
works were exploded all over Colon. The
Panama. then marched through the Streets
to their headquarters, over which also the
emblem was raised.
A steam launch was dispatched last night
to capture Bocas del Toro In the interest
of the new republic. No difficulties are
anticipated there.
The new republic doubtlsssly is firmly
on the isthmus. and satisfaction is every
where expressed at the new order of things.
The American employees of the railroad
and others have been armed with rifles
and revolvers supplied by the United States
cruiser Nashville. Together with the lat
ters men the volunteers presented q bold
front Wednesday and Thursday afternoon
to the Colombians who were threatening
the lives Of Americans. Thanks to the
stand taken by Commander Hubbard, Of
the Nashville, the situation was saved.
The avoidance of bloodshed in Colon fol-
lowing the proclamation of the independ-
ence of the isthmus, the maintenance Of
perfect order and the withdrawal Of the
troops from the city are looked
upon as in great part due to the courage
and ability displayed by Commander Hub
bard, of the United States gunboat Nash
Vile. to the bravery of her officers and
men n to the tact of Col. Shaler. SUI
perintendent Of the Panama Railroad. Col.
Black of the United States engineer corps
and Senior Porfirio Melendez. the new civil
and military governor of Colon, also rem
dered signal service during the critical
situation which found it's peaceful set
tlement in the embarkation of Col. Torres
and his troops on the Orinoco. The en-
barkation took place just prior to the ar
rival of the United States auxiliary cruiser

France VIII Not Object.

PARIS. Nov. en-. Jusserand, French
ambassador at Washington. promptly COM
municated to Foreign Minister Delcasse
the details of a conversation he had with
United States Secretary of State Hay
Thursday evening, in which the latter gave
assurance that If the United States con-
cluded a treaty with the Republic of Pan
ANA for the construction of the canal the
French Panama Canal Company would re-
ceive the $40,OO0,O 900 agreed on for the pur-
chase of the French rights. NJ. Delcasse's
reply to the ambassador has not been an
nounced, but there is reason to believe that
il was cordial and contained the assurance
that France would not do anything to him
der the recognition of the new republic.

During the day Senior Cuadres, Project or

and sent to Panama by train. 1t Is re-
ported that there are several persons In

fully watched. Everything is now 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 Colonel Torres took
an aggressive position near the railroad
building and the lives of Americans for a
time seemed threatened.

tina according to information in its pos
session Colonel Torres obtained SS,G0 in
gold from the treasurer of the new repub-
lie previously to embarking.

Italy May Recognize Panama.

ROME, Nov. Tt is the general opinion
here that Italy is prepared to recognize the
new Republic of Panama should it receive
the sanction of the government of the
United States.
TIL Tribuna, commenting or the situa-
ton in Panama, says: THE United States
aspires to the complete supremacy of the

should not be surprised il the Washington
government had contributed it's aid to the
creation of the Republic. of Panama. The
condition of things there is advantageous
for the digging Of the proposed interoceanic

Boston immigration officials by ordering
the landing of Vahtan Krikorian, an Ar
menian, who was denied admission to the
country on the ground that he was likely
to become a public charge. 1t was shown
that Krikorian is young. we'll educated and
has several offers of employment. He was
held on his arrival at Boston for the Lon
don police in connection with the recent
murder of Sagatel Sagouni, the London
