outline OF the country, its history,

According to him II was the success
OF the American revolution that In
spired the Chileans with the enthusi-

had suffered for many years. Under
their greatest president. Belmaceda,
1856, they reached their highest
point OF development, but like all
American Latin countries. there was
dIssansion and revolution which
broke up his ministry and finally
drove him TO suicide. Since that time
the population has not increased. and
great inducements are held out by
the government for, colonization.

Indicated that Col. Goethals had no in
tention OF leaving Panama.
WELL" said the Mayor. there's his
letter with his signature
The Mayor said he had had no COM
muncation with Washington about the
chances Of getting n retirement for Col
Goethals.
II was said last night that Col. Goe-
thalss willingness to leave the Canal
Zone might arise from the fact that Will
lam j. Bryan's partisan, Richard l.. Met
calf. head of the Department OF Canal
Administration. had been interfering with
Col Goethals In running the local gov
eminent Of the Canal Zone.
Metcalfe was editor OF Bryans paper.
the Commonsr. and was once authority
for the statement that President Wilson
ought to use the Jobs at Panama as cur
rency for paying political debts.
Metcalfe has fathered a plan to put a
three-headed commission In charge OF the
Zone after die canal is in operation. Col
Goethals has stood resolutely for one
man administration. No secret has been
made in Washington that Metcalfe ex-
pected one OF the three commssionerships
to fall to himself
The fact that IA report was given out
i'll washington early this week to the ef
feet that Col. Cocktails could have alb
solute dominion on the Isthmus was as
sumed to be merely an attempt on the
part OF Mr.. Bryan To keep the record
straight. 1t was charged in New York
yesterday that Mr.. Bryan had heard Of
Mr.. Perkins's visit and ~ Col Goe-
thals's intention OF coming to New York
and had finally consented to the one man
idea when he knew that II would not be-
come effective.

Homer l.. Goddard from Mrs Woodrow

the contest for eighty acres Of land In

OF the President. Goddard and Mrs. Maud
Hensie are partners.
The telegram contained an order that
no further appropriation of the land in
question he made until the conclusion OF

Mrs. Wilson did not acquire tho land by
Government grant. but paid $4,000 in cash

the letter from Mrs. Wilson. The letter
