Foreign Bondholders Insist Should Bbare Oolowm RECALL EARLIER BREAK WITH SPAIN Insist That the Attitude it Took Then Makes it Hesponsible Now for the Money Colombia Borrowed. LONDON, Nov. 24.-Foreign Secretary Lansdowne has requested the council of the foreign bondholders to supply further detalls of the Colombian loan. When drawn up these will be forwarded to gmbassador Durand and presented to Washington to | urge the rights of British bondholders in connection with the Republi¢ of Panama. om the council the. Assoclated Press secured the following: In regard to the reported statement of the Panama commissioners that Panama de- clines responsibility for the Colombian debt on the ground that when the greater part of the money was borrowed Panama was not included in Colombia, the fact appears ts be as follows: Panama declared its independence of Spain November 25, 1821, and in the solemn declaration of the revolutionary junta jt is stated that the territory of the fsthmus be- longed to the state of Colombia, to the con- ress whereof it should, in due course, send ts deputy. The war with Spain confinued for mome time thereafter, and In 1822 Co- lombia issued an external'loan of $10,000,000, the greater part of which was to be devoted to prosecuting the war of Independence In 1834 Colombia issued a further oan of $23,70,00 for the same purpose. It would be surprising if Panama attempted to re- pudiate responsibility for the money which assisted it to become part of a free state. A lengthy statement will be forwarded to the British embasey at Washington. Pleased in Del Toro. MOBILE, Ala., Nav.

PARIS, Nov. 2.—George Thiebaud, for- mer leader of the Panama canal movement and president of the committee of bond- holders of the old company, has announced that a public meeiing will be held to crit- icise recent events, particularly the course of the French government. He asserts thut French influence has suffered an ‘“eco- nomic Hedan” by countenancing Panama’s complete turning over of the canal to the United States. 0Old Correspondence Comes to Light. WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—The senate in executive sesslon has made public the correspondence submitted by President Polk in 1847 In return to the treaty of 184 between the United Btates and New Gra- nada. It s sald that these papers have never been published. They consist of protocols between Benjamin Bidlack, Charge of the U'nited States at Bogota, and Manuel M. Mallerino, sécretary’ of fofelgn aftajrs for New Granada. There is a report by the. latter officfal pointing out the ad- vantage of the treaty to the United States in view of the attitude of Great Britain, which, he declares, unvells a preconcelved and long meditated intention of grasping the most valuable mercantile spots of America, putting the competition of the United States out of the question and de- claring her will as a law in all matters con- cerning the consumption of forelgn com- modities. In the communication to Secretary of State Buchanan, Mr. Bidlack discusses the control of the isthmus, in which he says that Secretary Mallerino had sald that if New Granada ceded to the United States the right-of-way across the isthmus, he presumed the United States would guar- antee to New Granada the isthmus, or at least as much of it as was required for the construction of a canal or a railroad upon the most favorable route. Mr. Bidlack in transmitting a draft of the treaty to Secretary Buchanan has the fol- lowing to say regarding the transit across the Isthmus: “With the regard of the right to transit and free passage over the isthmus, which appeared to me to be becoming of more and more importance every day, I have only to remark that I have procured the largest Itberty and the very best terms that could be obtalned. “I could not obtain these terms without consenting to guarantee the Integrity and neutrality of the territory. and, in fact, it seems to me upon reflec'ion that in order to preserve the rights and privileges thus ceded it would be both the policy, the in- terest and the duty of the United States thus to enter ag obligation to protect them.” The guarahty extends only to the isthmus, and anything like a general alli- ance is carefully avoided ‘Will Increase Force at Isthmus. The United States naval fleet near Colon will be nugumented shortly by the gun- boats Castine and Bancroft, which have been specially fitted out for service in {sthmian waters. The Navy department is informed that the work on these two ves- sels 1s practically finished and it is expectel that they will both start on their cruise (o the south in & few days. Their arrival will increase the naval fleet in the isthmus to eleven ships, of which number seven will guard the north or Caribbean coast and four the Pacific coast. The crulser Olym. pia, now undergoing repairs at the Norfolk navy yard, also will sail for Colon in about two weeks and will replace the naval yacht Mayfiower on that station as the fagship of Rear Admiral Coghlan, commanding the Carfbbean squadron.

Ritchie, Sir Michae! Lord Goschen, Winston Spencer Churchill, Lord Hugh Cecil, Lord Robert Cecll, Lord Lytton, and a number of members of the house The duke of Devonshire outlined the ob. Ject of the campaign of the Free Food league, which, he explained, was formed a few months before the government's decla- ration of policy, and therefore could not have been forfied for hostility to the gov- ernment. There might differences of apinion concerning the extent to which re- tallation might legitimately go. Some members of the league were not altogether opposed to some form of protection, but they were all united and prepared to re- sist to the utmost the Imposition of any protective taxation on food or protective duties generully. He himself claimed the right to opPose any of the nature of a ro- turn to protection. A prolonged cheering followed this statement of the duke. LONDON, Nov shire presided ker at a Queen's hall sneec duchess Burleigh Hiss and Cheer Chamberlain's Name. Continuing, the speaker stated that while the fiscal policy was not yet a party ques- tlon, there was nothing which the advo- ates of the scheme. which emanated from the brain of a single eminent statesman, would like better than a general election which would turn on this question alone, This reference to Joseph Chamberlain was greeted with mingled cheers and hisses, The duke said the meeting was one of unfonists, desiring to urge on the govern- ment the danger of taking such a course and the expediency of resisting such a vourse. It was not the policy of the unjon- ists, The public liked a clear is: and such an fssue had heen placed hefore them by Mr. Chamberlain, who left the gov- ernment in order that he might be free. Cheers and hisses again followed this men- tlon of Mr. Chamberlain, ‘The duke of Devonshire urged that the policy of the government be more clearly defined. At present it was indefinite. The speaker sald that if he made any speclal explanations regarding his resignation it would be from his place in Parliament. He had tendered his resignation ae he could not, in the House of Lords, express confidence in the policy of the government, conearning which he had grave misgivings and insufficlent Information. Regarding the speeches of Premier Ral- four, the duke of Devonshire sald they @d not indlcate the cbjective policy of the government.

The duke said he trusted the government would never cater into a policy of retalia- tion under the delusion that it was a good thing. It would only make matters worse if, In addition to the hostile tariffs against tiemselves, they built up wails which would prohibit and rest:fet the imjortation of goods, which for thelr own advantage they took from other nations. e was op- posed to the taxation of food because he thought that such taxation was the key- note of the entire pblicy to which he took | exception. Should the price of food be ralsed compehsation must be given to the workingmen. He rdtognized the great sery- ices of Joseph Chamberlain, but even the great services of the past should not blina any one to a true consideration of the re- sult and significance of the former colonial secretary’'s fiscal scheme. In his budget calculation Mr. Chamber- lain had not considered the increased cost of living for workingmen. The duke of Devonshire sald he was prepared to prove that Mr. Chamberlain's Glasgow budget would entall a great 1088 to the consumer, while the workingman's expenses would be increased 10 per cent. He belleved there could be no greater fallacy than that the prohibition or restriction of fmports from abroad would increase the profitable em- ployment of capital and iabor at home. The country was prospering cverywhere, yet Mr. Chamberlain neserted that only stagna- tion existed. The former lord president of the council sald he could take no part in a poliey founded on inversions of fact, Alluding to Mr. Chamberlain's charge, that he duke of Devonshire) “was a drag on the wheels of progress,” the speaker sald he was content to act as a drag when the engine was running down grade against all “onals. Lord Goschen moved and Lord George Hamilton seconded the following resolution, which was passed by an over- whelming vote: This meeting, while prepared to consider in a friendly spirit any measure the gov- ernment might submit (o parliament. in spe. clal cases for mll{rulhll the results of h tile tariffs, is of the opinion that stren: opposition’ should be offered to any fiscal policy involving the taxation of food and the establishment of a general preferential or protective system.

You understand that all of my propositions to Mr. Schwab were based on the condition that Mr. Schwab would take charge of the financial operation of the deal, and even now 1f you could disentangle this matter and allow your stockholders a right to go on with the reorganization by paving a small assessment, I would have my asso- clates join you and furnish the $1,000,000 cash that you would require under your original plan of reorganization. always as- suming, of course, that Mr. Sheldon will stay in the saddle and attend to the finan. clal end of the new corporation. 1 would suggest that you arrange to see him or have someone else see him regarding this matter, as 1 wian to assist you all that fs ssible in your earnest efforts to rehabfli- fite this property at the least loss to the security holders. Your criticism of me in (nfluencing you to approve of the organization 18 unjust, as 1°ald It to vour best interests and it “vas after Mr. Bchwab agreed to all he did and With the best favor possible that I brought You the letter which vou signed as re- Quested by me and which that night I sent fo Mr. Schwab's house, and, as stated, it was after Mr. Schwab had agreed the agree- 10 comply with my request in order to protect | me from loss in the case of advances wh had been made and which were to be made to you at that time. Under any other con- sideration 1 could not in justice to myself have anything to do with the transaction whatever.
