Continued from first page

not permit Panama TO pass into the hands Of
any one elected. The failure which you de-
scribe to comply with the laws assuring TO the
people of Panama the opportunity to have their
names entered in the registry OF voters appears
In advance TO be sufficient to invalidate the
election. and If the facts are they have been
represented to you wrong already done must be
redressed and fair registry lists made up. In
case we find occasion for intervention, ii will
be necessary for this government to consider
what steps 1t Will take for redress of the wrong
done and to prevent repetition in future.
The first answer to this communication re-
celved by Mr. Taft from President Amador was
denial CT any fraud in the election and a re-
fusal to take any of the steps suggested. Later
an agreement was reached between the Panama
authorities and the American Minister and
Commissioners Goethals and Blackburn. to-
gether with the general counsel of the commits
sion. Mr.. Rogers. by which Panama agreed to
create commission of electoral inquiry to in
vestigate the complaints of all parties and un-
der which the United States was to join in the
Inquiry through any persons appointed by it.

all witnesses concerning past. present and fut-
ure proceedings. and with the right to inspect
and copy all inscriptions on the registration
lists and to attend all sessions of the registra-
ton and election jury.
On May 1S'the commissioners were appointed
and went to the various places of registration
In the districts. The Panama authorities con-
sented that registration should proceed for ten
days from May il to D. and this was tele-
graphed officially all over the country Later
three governors known to be in favor of Obal-
da the opponent of Arias, were removed from
office by the President, because as he informed
Commissioner Blackburn, he did not propose to
have anybody in office opposed to the govern
