COLOMBIAN HISTORY AGAIN.

The second long letter from Mr. Raul Perez
10 which we give space elsewhere in to-day IS
Tribune purports TO be chiefly a statement OF
HISTORICAL facts. 1t will be sufficient for the
purpose to take direct and positive issue with
two principal features OF that statement
Mr. Perez says that in 1885 the North At
lantlc squadron of the United States navy
'caIne and interfered. not only in Panama, but
along our entire Atlantic border" a result
OF which President NufIez confirmed in
his Illegal and corrupt dictatorship and Colon
bia was doomed to ruin and he directly init
mates that the feet was sent with that purpose
through q sinister compact between NufeZ and
the American government The truth about
that intervention" was set forth in an Of
fetal communication from the American Sec
retary of State Mr.. Bayard, to the Secretary
Of the Navy, Mr.. Whitney, as follows:
At Cartagena, as at any other point in Co
lombia not on the direct line of sthmlan transit,
the only question presented for our consideration
IS the general one of the protection Of the lives
and property of citizens Of the United States es-
tablished there. Our right in this respect is
neither more less than that of any other
government whose citizens or subjects may be
found at such points under similar circum-
stances. No measure could be taken by forces
of the United States for the protection of their
citizens there which we would not ADMIT the per-
feet right OF another government-that of Eng
land, France Germany, for instance-to en-
ploy for the like protection of its subjects
There is no foundation whatever for the
shameful insnuations of Mr.. Perez against the
United States.
Mr.. Perez also says that when the United
Estates of Colombia were In existence Panama
"was one Of its states, just exactly as Mary
"land is one Of the states In the North Amer
'ican Union" and that even under the dicta-
torship Of NufIez "the position OF Panama was
mot one whit different from that of any other
Colombian state" The facts are these: In
1S41 Panama was an Independent republic.
and a part Of Its fundamental law provided
that "in no case shall the isthmus be incor-
"porated with the Republic Of New Grenada
under the system of central government" In
1861, at the solicitation of General MOsquera,
whom Mr.. Perez rightly regards as one Of
Colombia's great men, Panama became one of
the United States Of New Grenada-called in
the same year United States OF Colombia-but
very different terms from those on which
Maryland is a member of the North American
Union. Thus there We're TO be no public officials

cessively lenient toward prisoners arraigned be-

thrust with blunt denial. saying that they al
ways hold defendants on the most serious charge
possible under the evidence Then some other
officials, backed up by host Of private citizens,
declare that the police themselves are entirely

THE PROPER METHOD.

In vetoing the bill providing for the estab-
lshment of a city college in Brooklyn Gov
ernor Hughes passed the following comment:
The project has direct relation to the educa-
tlonal system Of the city of New York. The ex-
tent to which the city should develop Opportuni-
ties for higher education in its different bor-
oughs IS Il subject which may we'll engage the
attention of the charter revision commission A
consistent plan should be adopted and In ny ny
judgment there should be no legislation on the
subject until the Legislature has had the benefit
of the commissioners report, made after full
consideration.
1t would be hard to find saner reason for
checking the plan fathered by ex-Controller
Grout and urged by the friends Of few re-
putedly decadent private schools across the
bridge AS The Tribune has already pointed
out there are many serious objections to the
establishment Of n second City College not the
least of which is the fact that the vast funds
such an institution would consume in the build
ing and equipping are sorely needed for per-
fecting and extending elementary education.
Even granting, however, that adequate apprO-
priatlOns for this latter purpose will soon be
forthcoming, there remains the Governors OBJ
lection. which we raised at the time the Legis-
lature was considering the GrOut measure. The
whole problem Of higher education Is which
must be first considered and solved by experts
under the auspices Of the charter revision
commission; and nothing should be done by
the city III the way OF expanding or reducing
the present municipal collegiate system until
n consistent, definite and well weighed pro-
gramme has been agreed upon by educational
authorities and city officials alike. There has
already been too much haphazard school build
ing and impulsive philanthropy. 1t IS time TO
formulate and carry out n broad plan OF cam
paign in which personal interests and ignorance
shall not work against the common welfare.
New-York tribune., 1907-07-29

of Panama were not to be subject to re-
view by those at BOgota. The BOgOta gov
ernment was not to send troops to Pan
ANA without the latter's permission. PraC-
tically, Panama remained an independent state,
only nominally connected with Bogota. In 1915
troops sent from Bogota invaded Panama with
out permission and therefore unlawfully, and
forcibly deposed and imprisoned the President
Of Panama-Dr Pablo Arosemena, lately First
Designate Of the Republic of Pan0ma-because
he would not join in the dictatorship schemes
of the President at BOgOtA. AS for the status
Of Panama under Nunez it was not the same
as that of other Colombian states. Panama
was, by Nunez's constitution of 1886, placed
under the direct authority of the central gov
'ernment, TO be ruled according TO special
laws" and again. as late as 1892, the Bogota
government decreed that 'in fiscal matters
special legislative and executive ordinances
may be enacted for the Department of Pan
anna" Thus in the early years of the United
States of Colombia the State of Panama was
practically Independent and was not in a status
comparable with that Of one Of the United
States Of America, and In the later years 1t
invidiousy Disseminated against and its
position was very different from that of any
other Colombian state.
Having twice given Mr.. Perez a hearing at
great length, and having pointed out some
specimen errors among the many which In
validate his statements, we must take our leave
of the subject
