termined.
Mr.. Bishop, who Is just finishing a
two months leave Of absence from

with the exact state Of affairs pre-
yailing in Panama and II was under
stood that he had some recommends
lions Of Importance to submit to the
president and Gen. Wright for their
approval.

mate result Of the American oper-
atoms on the isthmus would be the
seizure BY the United States Of the

ested. He said that the work was
