The action of President Marroqun
in sending a protest 10 the United
States senate is regarded by diplo-
matte circles here as a serious breach
of proprieties, but the matter proba-
bly, will net be dealt with in a harsh
manner. Secretary Hay has not yet
seen the protest, but will read it to-
day and unofficially the president may
see it, but it is felt the communiea-
ton might be entirely ignored If the
government chose to do in view OF
the extraordinary course taken in for
warding it.
Mutual Exchange of Good Wishes.
Panama, Nov. 17-Rear Admiral
Walker, who is practically President
Roosevelt's representative on the 18TH
mus, and Consul General Gudger, who
is here to direct the relations of the
United States with the de facto gov
eminent, called at the palace and in
the name of the United States govern
ment paid their respects to the men,
bers of the junta. Rear Admiral Wal
ker presented letter from President
Roosevelt and there were mutual ex-
changes of good wishes Otherwise
the visit was quite informal.
The visit of Rear Admiral Walker
and Consul General Gudger has been
construed by the junta and by the peo-
pie of Panama as a formal official rec
ognition of the new republic and has
provoked many expressions of salts
faction and congratulations upon the
new order Of things. It is understood
that Admiral Walker will report to
President Roosevelt upon the isthmian
situation and act in an advisory capac-
ity to Mr.. Gudger, who is well liked
here. Rear Admiral Walker returned
to Colon in the afternoon.
Commission Sent to Colon.
The junta appointed a commission
composed of Seniors Arias and Espi-
nosa to proceed at once to Colon and
confer on board the United States ship
Mayflower with the Colombians who
arrived there on what is understood To
be peace mission. The so-called
peace commissioners are from the de-
partNent of Bolivar, but it is not yet
known whether they are authorized to
represent the Bogota government sr
whether they come on behalf of the
department of Bolivar to recognize
the new republic.
If the commissioners represent the
Bogota government and are properly
empowered to and do recognize the
republic Of Panama the matter of re-
Enumeration to Colombia for the loss
of the isthmus may <be preached The
Panamanian commissioners, however,
are fully determined to do nothing
that may in any way weaken the po-
sition of the young republic or endar
ger the independence of the isthmus.
