PANAMA's FAITH IN THIS COUNTRY
Belief that Guarantee Of Free and Fair
Election Will Be Maintained.

Panama, June 14-Several of the newspapers
here which are opposing the candidacy of Senor
ohsldfa for the Presidency have recently pup
lshed articles tending to create doubts as TO the
innpartfaIity of prominent members OF the United
States government and certain officials Of the canal
commission in carving out President Roosevelt's
instructions in compliance with Panamas request
10 investigate all details relating 10 the pend
ing Presidential elections.
In consequence of these articles the committee in
charge Of Senior Obaldias campaign have issued
a declaration in which they deny the lnslnuatons
and charges as being without foundation
The state and country says the declaration
have absolute faith that the United States after
accepting the invitation of the Panama govern
rnent will assume its engagement guaranteeing
that Panama will have an election when snail be
open free and fair. which every citizen may
vote without hindrance, and that the result "hen
declared shall not be open TO reasonable doubt

The sentiment throughout the republic. except
in the case OF certain individuals who have only
little influence with the people. is one or strong
friendship for the United States.

THE COLORADO DID NOT GO AGROUND

San Francisco, June Alt is probable that the
false report spread about the cruiser Colorado being
aground the dangerous Dungeness Spit in the
Straits of Fuca will lead the governments doing
something to prevent amateur wireless outfits from

About Q o'clock last night message came from
Port Angeles that the Colorado aground in a
heavy fog at high tide. but further details came
until 2 O'Clock in the morning, when the explana-
ton arrived that Captain Underwood's wireless
message that he had anchored off Dungeness Spit
had been intercepted by wireless outfit which
misread it and spread the false report of the
cruisers grounding. 1t is unusual for vessel to
anchor in that place, but Captain Underwood re-
ported all we'll, although the cruiser had a rough
assage from Santa Barbara.

The plants were closed to allow divers to inspect

ten years a concrete wall two and one half feet

Engineers of the United States government. un-
der the direction of Major Kutz, of the Taft com
mission, took measurements of the river while
the water was embarrassed, and the test showed
that enough water is diverted from the American
cataract to make it noticeable. A rise Of one

plants were closed 175,000 horsepower was shifted
to the Canadian plants. The machinery of the
power plants will probably not be stopped again
