THE PANAMA PAYMENTS.
They VIII Be So Arranged as Not to
Disturb the financial Market.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, April 29.-The final details
of the big financial operations involved
in the Panama payment are almost
concluded, the expectation being that
an agreement will be reached today
or tomorrow. J. Pierpont Morgan is
personally directing the transaction
and the indications are that he and
a number of American financierS, as
sOciated with him, will consummate
the transfer of the funds.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press saw Mr.. Morgan today. While
no statement can be attributed to him.
the correspondent is enabled to indi-
cate from this and other sources the
main features of the payment, as fol-
lows.
1.-THE transfer of the $4,000. 600
from the United States to Europe will
be made so as not to disarrange the
money market of either country
For this purpose the total will be
divided into a number of smaller
amounts, leaving America at intervals
and thus not causing a strain at any
one time.
Washington, April 29.-The Treas
ury Department today forwarded to
the Secretary of State for transmission
to j. Pierpont Morgan & Company,
New York, financial agents of the Re-
public of Panama, warrant for one
million dollars on account of the
Panama Canal purchase.
