Herran treaty me course Of events naa8
shown that d canal to connect the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans must be built BY the
United States Ok not ut all. Experience
had demonstrated that private enterprise
was utterly inadequate for the purpose
aud a fixed policy, declared BY the United
States on many memorable occasions, and
supported by the tically unanimous
voice Of American opinion, had rendered IT,
morally impossible that the work should be
undertaken by European powers, either
singly or In combination. Such were the
universally recognized conditions on which
the legislation OF the congress was based,
and on which the late negotiations with Coz
lombia were begun and concluded. Never
theless, when the well-considered agree.
ment was rejected by Colombia and the
revolution on the isthmus ensued, one Of
Colombla's first acts was to invoke the In &
prevention Of the United States; nor does
her Invitation appear to have been con-
fined to this government alone. BY a tele-
gram from Mr.. Beaupre, our minister at :
BOgota, Of the 9TH OF November last, we
were informed that General Reyes would
soon leave Panama invested with full pow
ers; that he had telegraphed the president
OF Mexico to ask the government of the
United States and all countries represented
at the Pan-American conference ito aid
Colombia to preserve her integrity and
that he had requested that the government
Of the United States should meanwhile
preserve the neutrality and transit Of the
lsthmus' and should mot recognize the
new government" In another telegram
from Mr.. Beaupre, which was sent later
in the day, this government was asked
whether 1t would take action Ito maintain
Colombian right and sovereignty on the
isthmus in accordance with article IS Iofl$
the treaty Of 1646" In case the Colombian
government should be .'entirely unable to-
suppress the secession movement there. Z !.
Here was q direct solicitation to the Unit
ed States to intervene for the purpose OF
suppresslng, contrary to the treaty Of 1S46
as this government has uniformly con-
strued it, a new revolt against Colombia's
authority brought about by her own re-
fusal to permit the fulfllment Of the great
design for which that treaty. was made.
1t was under these circumstances that the
United States, instead Of using its forces
to destroy those VINO sought to make the
engagements of the treaty a reality, recog
nized them as the proper custodians Of the
sovereignty Of the isthmus. p.

AMERICAN CALAMITY
Prevented DISASTER.

This plain official account Of the occur
Fences Of Nov. 4, shows that, instead Of
there having been too much provision by
the American government for the main
tenance Of order and the protection Of life
and property on the isthmus, the orders for
Tie movement Of the American warships
had been too long delayed; 20 long, In fact,
that there were hut forty-two marines and
sailors available to land and protect the
lives Of American men and women. It was
only the GOODNESS and gallantry with which
this little band Of men wearing the Ameri
can uniform faced ten times their number
Of armed foes, bent on carrying out the
atrocious threat Of the Colombian COM
mander, that prevented a murderous catas-
trophe. At Panama, when the revolution
broke out, there was no American man-of-
war and no American troops or sailors.
At Colon, Commander Hubbard acted with
entire impartiality towards both sides, pre-
venting any movement, whether by the Co
lombians or the Panamans, which would
tend to produce hloodshed. On Nov. 8 he
prevented body Of the revolutionists from
landing at Colon. Throughout he behaved
In the most creditable manner. In the
New York Evening Post, under date Of
Panama, Dec. 8, there 10 an article from
Z special correspondent, which sets forth
In detail the unhearable oppression Of the
Colombian government In Panama. In this

critical II the revolutionary leaders should
act. On this same date the Associated
Press In Washington received a bulletin
stating that revolutionary outbreak had
occurred. When this was brought to the
attention of the assistant secretary of
state, MI. LOOMS, he prepared the follow
tng cahlegram to the consul general at
Panama and the consul at Colon:
"Uprislng ON isthmus reported. Keep de.

Before this telegram was sent, however,
one was received from Consul Malmros at

ever, the consul general ut Panama had
not received the Information embodied In
the Associated Press bulletin, upon which
the assistant secretary Of state based his

was no uprising, although the situation was
critical, this answer being received at

eral, adding that on the isthmue the ex.
element was Seeding, and that the Colon
Dian troops were reported to be dlsahect-
ed. In response to q question Of mine they

lief that the revolution might break out

certain that the revolution would occur,
ana before leaving the isthmus had made
Their own reckoning as to the time, which
they had set down as being probably from
three to four weeks after their leaving.
The reason they set this as the probable
inside limit of time was that they reckoned
that 1t would be at least three or four
weeks-say not until Oct. 20-before q sufii-
Client quantity of arms and munitions would
have been landed. n @a"'
In view of all these facts directed the
navy department to issue instructions such
as would insure our having ships within
easy reach Of the isthmus In the event of
need arising. Orders were given on Oct.
10 to the Boston to proceed to San Juan
del Sur, Nicaragua; to the Dixie to pre-
pare to sail from League island; and to
the Atlanta to proceed to Guantanamo.
On Oct. 30 the Nashville was ordered to
proceed TO Colon. On Nov. when, the
Colombian congress having adjourned, it
was evident that the outbreak was immi-
nent, and when 1t was announced that both
sides were making ready forces whose
meeting would mean bloodshed and dis
order, the Colombian troops having been
embarked Oh vessels, the following In
structions were sent to the commanders
OF the Boston, Nashville, and Dixie:
Maintain free and uninterrupted transit.
II interruption is threatened by armed
force, occupy the line Of railroad. Prevent

Intent, either government or insurgent, at

vance our industries. Well, when
the new generals came we seized
them, arrested them, and the town of
Panama was In joy. Not a protest was
made, except the shots fred from the Co.
lombian gunboat Bogota, which killed one
Chinese lying In his bed. We were willing
Ion and fight 1t out; but the commander Of
the United States cruiser Nashville forbade
Superintendent Shaler to allow the rail
road to transport troops for either party.
That is our story -.
) call especial attention to the concluding
portion Of this interview which states the
willingness Of the Panama people to fight
the Colombian troops and the refusal of
Commander Hubbard to permit them to use
sltion where the fight could take place. 1t
thus clearly appears that the fact that
there was no hloodshed on the isthmus was
directly due-and only due--to the prompt
and firm enforcement by the United States
Of Its traditional policy. During the past
forty years revolutions and attempts at
revolution have succeeded one another with
monotonous regularity on the isthmus, and
again and again United States sailors and
marines have been landed as they were
landed In this instance and under similar
instructions to protect the transit. One of
these revolutions resulted in three years
OF warfare: and the aggregate Of blood
shed and misery caused by them has been
lncalculable. The fact that In this last
revolution not life was lost, save that of
the man killed by the shells of the Colon
bian gunboat, and no property destroyed,
was due to the action which I have de-
scribed. We, in effect, policed the 18TH
mus in the interest Of its inhabitants and
of our own national needs, and for the good
of the entire civilized world. Failure to act
al the administration acted would have
meant great waste Of life, great suffering,
great destruction Of property; all of which
was avoided by the frmness and prudence
with which Commander Hubbard carried
out his orders and prevented either party
from attacking the other. Our action was
for the peace both of Colombia and Of
Panama. 1t is earnestly to be hoped that
there will he no unwlse conduct on our
part which may encourage Colombia to en-
bark on d war which can not result In her
regaIning control Of the isthmus, but which
may cause much bloodshed and suffering.

FORMER POLICY PURSUED
IN PRESENT INSTANCE.

These orders were delivered In pursuance
Of the policy on which our government had
repeatedly acted. This policy was exhibit
ed In the following orders, given under
somewhat similar circumstances last year,
and the year before, and the year before
that. The first two kilograms are from
the department Of state to the consul at
Panama:
July %, 190O.-You are directed to pro-
test against any act of hostility which may
involve or imperil the safe and peaceful
transit of persons or property across the
isthmus of Panama. The bombardment Of
Panama would have this effect, anG the
United States must insist upon the neu-
trality Of the isthmus as guaranteed by the
treaty"
"Nov. 20, 19O1.-Notify all parties mo-
Testing or interfering with free transit
across the isthmus that such interference
must cease and that the United States will
prevent the interruption of traffic upon the
railroad. Consult with captain Of the Iowa,
who will be instructed to land marines, II
necessary, for the protection of the rail-
road, In accordance with the treaty rights
and obligations of the United States. De-
sirable to avoid bloodshed, II possible"
The next three kilograms are from and
to the secretary of the navy:
sept. Il, 1&UZ.-1dnSer, fd0ama: Unit
ed States guarantees perfect neutrality of
isthmus and that a free transit from sea
to sea be not interrupted or embarrassed.
Any transportation Of troops which
might contravene these provisions Of treaty
should not he sanctioned by you nor should
use of road be permitted which might
convert the line Of transit into theatcr Of
hostility. MOODY"
"Colon. Sept. 20. 19O2.-Secretary Navy.
Washington: Everything lie conceded. The
United States guar ds and guarantees traf

mitted the exchange of Colombian troops
