This plain official acconnt of the oc
currences of November t, shows that,
instead of there being too much previ
sion by the American government for
the maintenance of order and the pro
lection of life and property on the Is
thmus, the orders for the movement
oi the American warships had been
too long delayed : so 1 ng in fact, that
there were but forty two marfne . and
- sstiors available- to land and protect
the iives of American men and women,
it was only the coolness and gallantry
with which this little band of men
wearing the American uniform faced
ten times their number of mined ttM
bent on carrying out the atrocious
threat of the Colombian commander,
i hat pnrtttttM a murderous castas
irophe. At Panama, when the revolu
tion broke out. there was no American
man-of-war and no American troops or
sailors. At Colon, Commander Hub
bard acted with entireimpartiality to
wards both sides, preventing any
movement, whether by the Colombians
or the Panamans, which would tend to
produce bloodshed, on Nov. it he pre
vented a body of the revolutionists
from landing at Colon. Thornghont
lie behaved ill the most creditable
manner.
The fact that in tkl
last
revolu
that of
lion noi a life was lost. late
the man killed by the shefls of the j
Colombian gunboat and no property
destroyed, was due to the anion which
I have described. We, in effect policed
the Isthmus in the Interest pf its in
habitants and of our own national
needs, and for the good
f the entire
civilized world. Failure to act as the
administration acted would have
meant great waste ot life, great suffer
ing, great destruction of property,
nil of which was avoided by the firm
ness and prudence with which Com
mander Hubbard carried out his order?
and prevented either party from at
tacking the other. Our action was
lor the peace of both Colombia and
Panama It is earnestly to be hoped
mat there will be no unwise coOSacl
part which may encourage
f'olombia to embark on a war which
can not result in her regaining control
of the Isthmus, bttt which must cause
Met bloodshed and suffering.
I hesitate to refer to the injurious
insinuations which liavr seen made
of compllcit) by this government in
the revolutionary movement In Pana
ma They are as destitute of found
atlon as f propriety The only e
cuse for my mentioning them is th
fear lest unthinking person" might
mistake for acquiesen .-. ihe ilence
H mere self -respect. I think proper
to say, therefore, that no one con
necjed with this government had any France can nor be HOnbted nor could
part In preparing, inciting 01 encour- tbe I'nited States have been counted

not denied, nor do
either the validity or the propriety of
the general rule that a 'iew state
should not be recognized as independ
ent till it has shown its ability to
maintain its independence. This rule
is derived from the principle of non
intervention, and as a corollary of thai
principle has generally been observed
by the I'nited States. But, like the
principle from which it is deduced,
the rule is subject to exceptions: and
there are In my opinion clear and im
perative reasons why a departure from
il was justified and even required in
I lie present 'insi an ee. These reasons
embrace, first, our treaty rights,
second our national interests and
safety; and third, the Interests of
collective civilization
In the light of our present situation,
the establishment of easy and speedy
communication by sea between the
Atlantic and the Pacific presents itself
not dimply as something to be desired,
hut an object to be positively and
promptly attained. Reasons of con
in'. hn ve been superseded by
reasons oi vilai necessity, which do
not admit bf indefinite delays To such
delays the rejection by Colombia of
the Hay Hel ton teraty directly exposed
us. As proof of this fact I need only
refer to the program outlined in the
report of the majority of the Panama
canal committee, read in the Colom
bian senate on the 14th of October
last In this report-, which recommend
ed that the discussion of a law to
authori.' Ike government to enter
upon new negotiations should be in
definitely postponed, It 'n proposed
that the consideration of the subject
should 1m deferred till October It,
lnul. when the next Colombian con
gress should have met in ordinary
session By that lime, as the report
goes on to say. the extension of time
j granted ii the New Panama Canal
Company by treaty on 189:1 would
have expired, and the new congress
, would lie In a position to take up the
question whether the company ha
not, In spite of further extensions
that had been granted by legislative
acts, forfeited all Its property and
rights. "vVhen that time arrives."
the repori significantly declares, "the
republic, without any impediment, will
be able to contract, and will be in more
clear, more definite, and more advant
ageons possession, both legally and
materially. " The naked meaning of
this report l that Colombia proposed
to wait until, by the enforcement of
a forfeiture runttgnant to the ideas of
justice which obtain In every civilized
nation, the property and tights of the
New Panama Canal Company could
lie confiscated
Such, is the scheme to winch it was
ropoeetl that 'he I Tutted States thould
be invited to become a party Thf
construction of the cana: was to b.
relegated to ihe indefinite future,
while CotoMbW was. by reason of her
own delay, to be placed in the "more
advantageous" position of claiming
not merely the com pern sat ion to lie
paid by the I'nited Mates for the privi
lege of (ompMing the canal, but also
the forty millions authorized by the
act of It9 to be paid for the property
of the New Panama Canai Company
Thai the attempt to carry out this
sebene would have brought Colombia
into conflict with the government of

guarantees of the treaty of 1146; and
all this in support of a plan which,

become a matter of
history.
That our position as the mandatary
of civilization has been by no means
misconceived is shown by the prompti
tude with which the powers have, one
after another, followed our lead in j
recognizing Panama as an Independent
state. Our action in recognizing the
new republic has been followed by
like recognition on the part of
Prance, Germany, Denmark, Russia.
Sweden and Norway, Nicaragua, Peru,
China. Cuba, (ireat Britain. Italy. Costa
Rica, Japan and Austria Hungary
in view of the manifold consider- ,
ations of treaty righl and obligation,!
Of national interest and safety, and of
collective civilization, by which our
i government was constrained to act,!
I am at a hiss to comprehend the at-;
titnde of those who can discern in
the recognition of the Republic oi Pan
aria only a general approval Of the,
principle of "revolution' by which a 1
given government is overturned or I
one portion of a country separate from
another Only the amplest justifica
tion can warrant a revolutionary
movement of either kind. But there
; is no fixed rule which can be applied
to all such movements. Bach case
must be judged on its own merits.
There have been many revolutionary
movements, many movements for the
dismemberment of countries, which ;
were evil, tried by any standard. But:
in my opinion no disinterested and
fair-minded observer acquainted w ith ,
, Hie circumstances can fall to feel that
Panama had the amplest justification
i for separation from Colombia under
the coiidiiions existing, and, moreover,
that its action was in the highest de
gree beneficial to the interest of the 1
entire civilixed world by securing the
, immediate opportunity for the build
Ing of the inter-oceaanie canal.
Instead of using our forces, as we j
were invited by Colombia to do. for
j the twofold purpose of defeating our'
own rights and interests and the In
terests of the civilized world, and of ,
. compelling the submission of the peo ,
! pie of the Isthmus to those whom they
regarded as oppressors, we shall, as
In duty bound keep the transit open
and prevent invasion Meanwhile, the
only question now before us Is that
if the ratification of the treaty. For
jit is to be remembered that a failure .
i to ratify the treaty will not undo what 1
I has been done, will not restore l'ana-
ma to Colombia, and will not alter our
obligation to keep the transit open
icross the Isthmus, and to prevent
any outside power from menacing this
, transit.
In conclusion let me repeat that
: the question actually before this gov-1
'rnmeiit la not that of the recognition
Of Pan MM as an independent republic.
: That is already an accomplished fact.
The question, and the onty question,
! is whether or not we shall build an
- Isthmian canal

latest notes from the minister of the ,
