PART PAYMENT FOR
|STHM|AN CANAL
Will Send 100000 Now and the
Full Amount Later.
EARNEST APPEAL MADE FOR IT
The RcpubIic Has borrowed Money
At" nigh Rate of Interest,", which
Was About Due-Iicace Partial
Payment IL TO lie Made.

Washington, March IA partial
payment will be made this week to
the republic of Panama under the
terms Of the treaty but recently rati-
fed by the United States senate. 1t
will amount to about $1,000, 600. 1t
will be a part Of the total payment of
$l0,000,000 to which the United States
Is obligated by the terms OF the treaty.
Secretary Shaw and Attorney.Gen
eral Knox went to the White House
Monday morning, where there was a
conference with the president for ar
hour or more, the conclusion OF which
was to make the partial payment, as
stated.
II develops that an earnest appeal
from Panama for an immediate pay.
ment of funds had been made to the
president last week, while the two
cabinet officers mentioned were out
Of the city. 1t was pointed out that
the republic had just organized it,
government under the new constitu-
tions, and now had an expensive es-
Enlistment. The republic had al
ready borrowed money at a high rate
of interest of the Morgan banking
house in New York city, end this obi.
cation, which had been taken on for
a short period only, was about to be
come due.
1t was further decided that the
pending litigation in the French
courts should not operate against the
payment of the entire $4,000, 600
with a week or ten days. If in the
end the French company should be
unable to transfer It's holdings to the
United States in a satisfactory form,
this country would be in a position to
order the canal strip cleared of its
possessions. II can be asserted that
Mr.. Shaw will not call upon the banks
To pay the assessment Of a percent.
& of government deposits until the
title to the French holdings has been
fully established. II is also learned
that ten per cent. more will be taken
from the government repositories as
o as the canal payments have beer
made. This will be for the purpose
of certifying the treasury against any
sudden drains because of canal con,
structiOn.
