that they had been misinformed as to

Panaman policemen.
Early this morning' the French con

argued that the French governmen
would be willing to reimburse tro

Before noon at the Instance of the
agent of -the company and the French
consul, a squad of twelve policemen
went on board the vessel and told tru
men that force would be used if they
persisted in their refusal to disem

with bayonets and guns, tlio men

Aldron, the chief of police and others
argued with the men, but again with

Ten additional policemen arrived at
the wharf, but the governor w ishing te

to use the Canal Zone police, to which
the president consented. Meantime
