Bro. Holmes of the Isabel Herald
had spasm last week on account
OF the way the bond election came
out. He thinks the newspapers
that supported the proposition are
especially open to censure. Mr..
Holmes, IN company with
many Others who were opposed to
the bonds, will soon see where he
was wrong and will have reason to
be glad that the road has been Sc
cured. There are a great many
who have already said that if they
had it TO do over again they would
support the bonds.

piished. the Colombian soldiers IN the mean
time being held at Colon.
Had they been at Panama they could have
defeated the Panamans and the revolution
would never have been accomplished with
out bloodshed, or without the direct inter-
vention OF the American gunboats-
How the Panama Railroad Helped.
The fact that the Colombian troops did
not get to Panama was largely due to Col.
Shaler, then superintendent OF the Panama
railroad. Col Shaler knew that the Pana-
mans intended to rebel: but his railroad
company was indebted to Colombia for Its
franchise and he had to nominally support
the Colombian government or the charter
might be annulled Col. Shaler was at the
same time good American citizen. and as
such wanted Panama to succeed and Uncle
Sam to get the canal. The situation required
diplomacy and hnesse, and Col. Shaler rose
to meet it. He evidently knew that our
gunboats were coming. and that IL he could
keep the soldiers for a day or so in Colon,
Panama's independence might become a
reality. For this reason he got the officers
to make their trip across the isthmus on
the first train, intimating that the troops
would follow on a special an hour later.
The officers agreed to this and started off.
AS soon as they left the special was ordered

great property like that OF the Panama
canal many individuals must profit. The
one who made most out OF the canal sale
is supposed TO be Mr.. William Nelson Crom-
well, the attorney for the French Canal
Company and The Panama Railway Com
pany II was he who engineered the bills
by which Panama was chosen over Mica
rs qua through Congress. and he to a large
extent aided In the bringing about OF Pam
ama's independence. The gossip here IL
that he received from the French Canal
Company two millions out OF the forty mill
lion dollars which tho United States paid
them and from the Panama republic one
million dollars cut OF the ten million dollars
which Uncle Sam paid for the canal zone
and his rights there. II these reports are
true he received total OF three million doll
lars in good. hard gold coin. and this money
came in a lump. Mr.. Cromwell Is still at
torney for the Panama government. and
his relations to the canal administration
are close. Mr., Bunau-Narilla is said 20
have made fortune out OF the sale. and
other French agents to have received large
sums.
Nearly every resident OF Panama has
profited moro or less from our purchase
OF the canal and the success OF their revo-
luton Values OF all kinds have risen.

tion and money is again plentiful on the

Isthmus OF Panama All the officers and
soldiers who took part In the revolution
received more than double pay for the
service. The night after independence was
declared some leading bankers OF Panama
were directed by the new govern
ment to furnish money to the
soldiers. The officials then gave checks on
this bank for the officers and men 40
cordfng to rank, some of which were for
one thousand. two thousand and three
thousand dollars each. Gen. Huertas was
offered fifty thousand dollars in gold He
refused It. saying that II he took il il might
be considered bribe. His scruples van-
ished when 1t was again offered to him as
a birthday present six months later, and
he spent part of the money In trip to
Europe.

on he consented to the abolition of the
army and to his own retirement, receiving
therefor a salary OF $500 month as gen.
eral of the army TO be called forth to COM
mand the troops in case OF need.
Gen. Huertas is now about twenty-five
years old. He entered the Panaman army
at twelve as bugler and lost his arm dur
