nation, either automatically, con-
firming or repudiating the. action
of its representative in Washing
ton, is expected within the next
twenty-four hours. No action of
any kind in the matter is possible
before tomorrow.
The letter incident brought out

the arbitration she has requested" :"
The Panama incident, which
has been the subject of committee
investigation, was denounced by
Mr.. Rainey as "the blackest page
in our history as nation" He
charged that the revolution was
engineered by "a New York pro-

of President Roosevelt and the
State Department.
Representative Sulzer. cllair-
man of the foreign affairs commit

which he denounced the taking
of Panama" as ''the result of a
