Mass Of Correspondence, Bearing on
Panama, Given 20 Senate.

Warrington. February 3.-The
President sent to the Senate today a
mass OF correspondence in response
to Senator Germans resolution. The
circumstances under which forces
were landed are given by the Presi-
dent in detail, but orders by the war
and navy departments concerning the
inner workings OF sucn departments
and which constitute a part OF the
records OF the offices of military and
naval intelligence are withheld on
the grounds that the disclosure OF
such confidential matters would be
Incompatible with the public inter
est
AS preface to the correspondence
Acting Secretary of State Loomis
writes a letter which says all the cor
respondence on record in the depart
ment OF state is given and that from
this ii appears United States forces
have been landed on the isthmus oi
Panama ten times. A landing made
In September, 1902. was the only one
made without actual request from
the government of the isthmus. The
secretary in regard to this says:
Forces were landed 10 keep open

Acting Secretary Loomis says fur
ther:
The accompanying papers also
show that the United States has been
asked by New Granada and Colombia
to execute. by armed force the guar
anty of the neutrality Of the isthmus
or Of the sovereignty Of New Gran
ada or Colombia, and the dates and
circumstances Of such requests.
'It appears from the correspon-
dence that on one occasion United
States forces were landed solely on
the initiative of the United States
namely, in September. 1902-when
the, Panama authorities were duly
notified of the proposed landing.
THE correspondence further shows
that the forces of the United States
have never been employed in the in
ternal affairs of New Granada OF
Colombia otherwise than to protect
United States property and maintain
order and the freedom of the transit
on the isthmian territory under the
provisions OF the treaty Of 1886"

MUST HAVE HOME RULE.
No Alternative Policy Declares John
Redmond.

London, February 3.-"For the
Irish party there is no such thing as
an alternative policy TO home rule, I"
declared John Redmond. the leader
Of the Irish parliamentary party. in
the House Of Commons today as he
resumed the debate on the address In
reply to the speech from the throne.
Mr.. Redmond proceeded, in a speech
OF great length, to detail the various
grievances of Ireland, incidentally in
forming the liberals that it was a de-
lusion to suppose they could count on
Irish support by promising an alter
native policy to home rule. Because
the Irish obtained a variable act last
year remedying some OF the evils OF
past government some persons seem
ed to think that the Irish question
was shelved, but no concession could
weaken the demand for self-govern-
ment- On the contrary, every conces-
sion they had obtained or might OBJ
tain would be used for Ine further
ance Of the contest for home rule.
Mr.. Redmond. who was supported
by a full representation on the Irish
benches, received an ovation from hi:
followers at the close OF his forceful
outspoken criticism
Mr.. Wyndham, chief secretary fol
Ireland, in reply, announced the gov
ernment's intention to Introduce ar

clearing all the doubtful points. Th'
chief secretary denied that he evei
