tls3S .. III OuQue, eulCOr anu proprietor OF
the Panama Star and Herald, resident Of
years. who arrived today in New York, de-
clared that II the canal treaty fell through
. revolution would be likely to follow.
= There is q very strong feeling in Pan
anna, said Mr.. DuQue, that Colombia, in
negotiating the sale Of canal concession
IN Panama, is looking for profits that might
Just as we'll 60 to Panama herself.
=. The Colombian government, only the
other day, suppressed newspaper that
dared to speak Of independence for Pan
anna. "A while ago there was secret plan
afoot to cut loose from Colombia and seek
the protection of the United States.'"
In the New York Herald Of Sept. 10 the
following statement appeared:
Representatives of strong interests on
the isthmus Of Panama who make their
headquarters in this city are considering q
plan of action to be undertaken In CO.
operation with men Of similar views in
Panama and Colon to bring about revolu-
tion and form an Independent government
In Panama opposed to that in Bogota.
s'There Is much indignation on the 18TH
mus on account of the failure Of the canal
treaty. which is ascribed to the authorities
at Bogota. This opinion is believed to be
shared by a majority of the Isthmians Of
all shades Of political belief and they think
It is to their best interest for a new repub-
lie to be formed on the isthmus, which
may negotiate directly with the United
States new treaty which will permit the
digging of the Panama canal under favor
able conditions"
In the New York Times, under date Of
Sept. Is, there appeared from Bogota the
following statement:
"a proposal made by Senior Perez y 60
tos to ask the executive to appoint an an
ti-secessionist governor in Panama has
been approved by the senate. Speakers in
the senate said that Senior Obaldia, who
was recently appointed governor Of Pana-
ma, and who Is favorable to canal treaty,
was menace to the national integrity.
Senator Marroquin protested against the
action of the senate.
= president Marroquin succeeded later IN
calming the congressman. 1t appears that
he was able to give them satisfactory rea-
SONS for Governor Obaldia's appointment.
He appears to realize the imminent peril
of the isthmus of Panama declaring it's
Independence.
'Senor Deroux, representative for Pan
anna constituency. recently delivered a SEN
,aational speech In the house. Among other
things he said: r.
.".s'in Panama the bishops, governors,
magistrates, military chiefs, and their
the department. 1t seems that the gov
eminent, with surprising tenacity, wishes
20 exclude the isthmus from all participa-
lion in public affairs. As regards interna-
tlonal dangers in the isthmus all can
say Is that If these dangers exist they are
due to the conduct of the national gov
eminent, which Is in the direction of re-
action. : y E%
.'If. the Colombian government will not
take action with a view to preventing dis
aster, the responsibility will rest with 1t
alone ~ - n
in the New York Herald Of Oct. 26 It
was reported that a revolutionary expedi-
tion Of about seventy men had actually
landed on the isthmus. In the Washing
ton Post Of Oct. 20 1t was reported from
Panama that In view If the impending
trouble on the isthmus the Bogota govern
ment had gathered troop, in sufficient num-
beers to at once put down an attempt at
secession. In the New York Herald of Oct.
30 1t was announced from Panama that
Bogota was hurrying troops to the 18TH
mus to put down the projected revolt. In
the New York Herald of Nov. 2 1t. was an
nounced that In Rogota the congress had
Endorsed the energetic measures taken to
meet the situation on the isthmus and that
6,OOO men were about to be sent thither.
