Mr.. Obarrio, after explaining that be

ned the separation Of Panama from
Colombia. says:
According to the Hay-Herran Urea
ty approved by the United States SEN
ate and the rejection Of which by Co
lombia was the main cause of the
separation of Panama, the United
States agreed 60 pay to me republic of
Colombia $10000.000 for certain privi-
leges and according TO the Hay Bunau-
varilla treaty approved by the republic
OF Panama and by the United States
senate the same sum was paid for Sc
curing even greahr privileges
"At the time this sum was paid the
republic OF Panama was a perfectly
constituted nation recognized by all
but two of the countries of the globe.
The ten millions have been disposed of
in this manner: Six million dollars in
vested in mortgages in New York real
estate at an average of per cent. per
annum, $1,000000 for the establish
ment OF national bank, $500,000 loan
ed to Panama bankers on call and
100000 employed ia converting our
silver coin to the new coinage of the
republic of Panama and for depositing
a sum sufficient to guarantee the parity
of our silver with United States gold
at the rate of two silver dollars for one
gold dollar. The rest has been employ
ed in building schoolhouses, roads,
bridges and the thousand and one
things that for years have been needed
in our country.
"As to the statement that the separa-
ton OF Panama was accomplished UNI
der the shadow of the capitol most
emphatically deny in my name and in
that of my colleagues that any public
man of this or any other country had
anything TO do with the revolution so
successfully accomplished by us with
the valuable aid Of 30 $40 per cent OF

WASHINGTON, Dec I6.--"Whether
the superintendent Of the Naval acade-
my or the secretary OF The navy, or
both conformity. have the power sum
marily TO dismiss from the Naval acad-
envy without trial by court martial a
midshipman guilty OF haziDg' and
whether such action, if taken. would
prove bar to proceedings in the

are two questions on which the attor-
ney general. at the request OF the secre-
tary Of the navy. viii render an opinion
today.
The charaeteraA f this opinion will
shape the futusssfEactlon of the navy

the summary dismissal of Midshlpnnan
Trcnmor Coffin, Ir., for hazing aud OF

torney General Moody rules that the
secretary has such power these mid
shipmcn will be summarily dismissed
from the academy. III such power Is
lacking their immediate trial by court
martial win be ordered Otherwise
Secretary Bonanarte will direct that
action be brought against the dismissed
mldshipmen IN the courts of Maryland.
HazIng at the academy was the sub
lect of two conferences here between
Admiral Sands and Secretary Bona
parte. The admiral Informed the sec
rotary tnat rhe cadet officers and cadet
petty officers, at a conference which
the admiral held with them several
days ago. voluntarily pledged him their
support in his insistence upon a strict
obedience to all rules Of the academy.
At this conference he declared to them:
Il regard hazing as a brutal and
cowardly practice. shall recommend
the summary dismissal Of every mid
shpman found guilty of practicing It
or countenancing 1t, and do not care
to receive at my home any midshlpman
who approves OF the practice"
