that this refusal would cause our Con-

Panama when the time for action came.
At least he satisfied Dr. Amador to that
effect and the latter returned TO the
lsthmus, a snort time later the news
came that the Colombian government
h0d appointed new officials for rs

CLUMSY CABLING.
In tho meantime cables were flying
back ana forth between Washington
ana Panama, The situation was serious,
oul, as tne story goes, the Panama rev
olHtlonists communicated directly with
the officials at Washington, one cable
translated from the code read

ma within four days This cable WAS
sent through BUnau-Narilla, and sure
enough, four days later the first vessel
arrived The day following It's arrival
the Panama Independence was declared,
But this was not the only
cable that came that day, 1t seems
that the authorities at WASHINGTON
were getting anxious. They cabled the
vice consul general OF the United States,
who was acting in the absence Of his
chief the query: How are affairs I'm

ne would send back O reply which

sui general however evidently lost hla
