FIRST MINISTER FROM REPUBLIC
OF PANAMA EXPLAINS
TRANSACTION.
THOUSANDS GET MONEY
ACCUSATIONS, FIRST STARTED
BY COLONEL WATTERsoN,
ARE eASElESS.

Par.s.-M. Philippe Bunau Varilla
who was first minister plenipotentiary
from the republic of Panama, said
Wednesday with reference to the ac-
cusations made by American news
papers against the negotiators of the
purchase OF the Panama canal for the
account OF the United States:
THE accusation which has just been
repeated In the course OF the recent
electoral campaign is not new. 1t was
launched In 1903 by Colonel Waiter
son at the moment when the refusal
Of a Panama treaty by Colombia
brought forward the whole canal ques
titn.
There was $4O.0OO.O0O, representing
the price paid for the property, to be
divided between the two Panama COM
panies, the old and the new, and 1t
became necessary to fix pro rata of
payments to lie made to each. The ar
bitration tribunal appointed by France
for the purpose awarded $l5,OOO.OOO to
the new Panama company and $685.
100000 to the old company for liqui-
dalton
ITO the latter sum 1t is necessary
to add. to be exact, the product of the
sale of lottery bonds remaining in pos
session OF the old company, which
brougM: the sum to be distributed up
to about $40,OOO.0OO, which sum was
properly distributed to the various
holders of shares. The last payment
in this connection will be made in a
few days.
Exactly 227,976 persons figure in
the distribution. OF course this num-
Der includes certain groups Of credi-
tors represented by banking estab-
lishments. but IL is easy to establish
the absolute fact that even taking into
accouh, these groups. no one partici-
pating in the sharing received more
than 100000. There are not more
than forty persons who received more
than 100000
''As to the Si5.000,00O of the new
company, 1t was divided among the
shareholders who. in 1894. when the
company was formed, subscribed $l2.-
