Bunau-Varilla Says Panama Treaty
Was Not in Question.

A cablegram from Paris last night says:
M. Bunau-Varilla, when seen concerning
the charges of DR.. Morales and the accu-
sations Of duplicity made against the United
States in dealing with Panama. said
1.-THE assertions attributed to DR.. Morales.
which hope have not been expressed by
him, ought to be treated with absolute con-
tempt"
When asked concerning the allegation OF
an understanding that the United States
government would negotiate treaty like
the Hay-Herran convention, M. Bunau-va-
rilla replied: You may state categorically
there never has been any understanding of
any sort whatever between the American
government and the revolutionary party In
Panama that have heard of. IL any man
ever boosted OF having made such an agree
ment my conviction Is he is one Of those
scoundrels who clothe themselves with
imaginary authority and who take to flight
the moment they are brought to account for
their lies
"There is no difference between the Hay
Herran and the INTERCHANGEABLE treat
les. Both are practically the same, except
that the second is a clear, comprehensive
instrument whereas the other bore traces
of the six months of discussion with such
q mind as that Of Senior Concha, the pred
ecessor of M Herran. There Is no point
in which Panama is harmed by the new
treaty. It was meant to obtain two ends

Mr.. Barbour Offers Reconciliation.

A dispatch from Baltimore last night
says: An answer was filed yesterday in the
circuit court by George D. Barbour
through his attorneys. Harvey & Harvey,
to the divorce proceedings filed by Mrs
Lilly G. Barbour. Mrs Barbour charges de-
sertiop and unfaithfulness in her bill of
complaint both of which charges are de-
MED in the answer of Mr.. Barbour. He fur
Their AYERS that his living apart from his
wife lat great expense to HIMSELF has been
caused by her unreasonable and arbitrary
demand that he leave home. Furthermore.
he says he is ready and willing to return
home and be good husband.
Mr.. Barbour says that he has in the city
or Washington a one-seventh interest In
certain real estate inherited from his father
and said to be worth $4,000, from which he
has received as income during the last
twelve months but 81 ,461. Besides this, he
says, he has unproductive real estate in
Washington inherited from his mother VAL

pay taxes and other expenses. He is fur
Their possessed of stocks and bonds valued
at $1,000. which. however he has been
forced to hypothecate with the Columbia
National Bank of washington as security
for a loan obtained by him from the bank.
The interest on these securities, he says, is
barely sufficient to pay the interest on the
loan.

Two members of trade unions in this

Secret service men were set upon his trail,
and he is under surveillance.
Proceeding on "a theory that the in
juries to the battle ship Connecticut were
inspired by a desire 70 bring chagrin upon
the naval constructor in charge. secret
service men at the navy yard are now
following a clew which may lead to the
apprehension of algrotp of workmen who,
1t is alleged, haveii threatened the life
of Mr. ROBINSON assistant naval con-
structor. Mr.. Robinson scoffed yesterday
at talk of danger,dbut did not deny that he
was prepared to resist a personal attack.
Mr.. Robinson said he believed it doubt
full if the guilty men would ever be dis
covered; yet few moments before, when
on visit of inspection to the ship, his
every movement was covered by men en-
ployed by the government for that pur-
pose, and the conduct of two workmen
was brought to his personal attention. It
Is known that a list has been prepared of
all the union men working on the ship,
with a view to determine their afhliation
with the pe1sOhs who, 1t was rumored, a
year and a half ago made threats against
the ship and those responsible for her
building.
