PANAMA HAS AN ARMY
OF FTWENTY-THREEM MEN
United States RED Book" Tells the Official Story OF
Resignation of General Huertas and Disarmament
of Republics Forces

and the minister, il was decided that
the Presiden: should notify General
Huertas that his resignation would be
expected that day.
Huertas saw the folly of holding out,
and resigned and was placed on the re-
tired list with q salary of $50 per month
The disbandment of the army was then
decided upon.
The soldiers. OF whom there were about
200, We're promised sixty days pay III
TWO lnStalIInents, and We're told to re-
their money. I'D TO o clock none had
appeared, and President Amador ap-
pealed to Minister Barrett as TO what
was the best thing 10 do. He was
afraid that the army might have decided
10 resist his terms.
Half an hour later, however. about
fifty of the soldiers came marching un-
armed, TO the government house, fol-
lowed by a great crowd. They demand
ed the whole sixty days pay at once.
Troops Are Disbanded.
Minister Barrett, after advising Presi-
dent Amador tc remain firm. addressed
the soldiers through General Guardia.
telling them that they must accept the
governments terms or take the conSe-
iuencesi that the United States Gov
ernment stood back of the Panama gov
ernment in the crisis; that the United
States naval forces would interfere TO
preserve order. and would punish Sc
Verely any disturbers of the peace.
This had the desired effect, and the
soldiers declared that they would accept
the government 5 proposition. Minister
Barrett adds
within two hours afterwards, the en-
tire army with the exception OF about
three men and twenty officers. who Were
faithful to the government. ana VINO

fer a standing army, had been paid off
and disbanded. From that moment.

The standing army of the republic OF

and twenty officers. But for the fact
that the statutes require that there
