THE 1IGBNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, KOVEMBER 12, 1903. DID AMERICA INSPIRE THE PANAMA REVOLUTION? PRESS OF TWO WORLDS IS DISCUSSING THE -QUESTION DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPERS SEEK. TO MAKE CAMPAIGN THUNDER OUT OF THE RECOGNITION OF THE NEW REPUBLIC S THE French Panama Canal Com I pany behind the Panama, revolution? "Were the plans for the declaration of Independence by the citizens of the Isth mus hatched In New York, acknowledged and sanctioned' by President Boosevelt and his official family? Was the President assured by Phllllppe Tarllla. and others that the revolution would last but a day. that only a faint hem teu attempt would be made to sup press the revolution? Did he know that Colombia's gunboats would be frlyhteped by a mere word of warning from the United States? Did he know tl it .t the sight of the American flag, th r the "loyal" government troops would fle to Cartagena? Was he prepared at a moment's notice to make a place at the table of Nations for the new-born Panama Infant? Did President Roosevelt sanction all this as a means of administering a well merited rebuke to the Bogota spoilsmen who were attempting to blackmail the United States Government? All these questions and countless others are being hurled at President Roosevelt's head by the Democratic press of this coun try, a few of the tepid administration newspapers and a number of the leading newspapers in London, Germany and Paris. Democratic politicians have seized upon his action relative to the Panama affair as anli-Roosevelt campaign thunder. 3Iuch that the Democratic press Is saying is without foundation, and yet there are certain developments croplng o'ut dally which point unmistakeably that the news of a revolution In Panama was not sur prising Information In official circles In Washington. No better proof of this is needed than a careful perusal of Dr. Al bert Shaw's Panama contribution In the November Review of Reviews. Dr. Shaw Is a close personal friend of the Presi dent's, and the general tenor of his article, written in advance of the revolution, is an argument in defense of the action which President Roosevelt has since taken. Dr. Shaw evidently forsaw the -whirlwind of criticism which would fol low when the United States extended diplomatic recognition to the new Repub lic, and in defense of this, so the Washing ton correspondent' to the Chicago Chron icle states, Dr. Shaw penned these ltnes: So far as the great European powers are concerned, the setting up of a Panama Republic by processes and agencies In which the United States Government could not be accused of having had any direct part could not well excite criticism. And as for Washington's prompt recogni tion of such a republic, that would be a matter for our own decision. Obviously, the French Government would concur in a programme designed for the benefit of French citizens. The English Govern ment has wholly acquiesced in the Idea that the United States shall build and control an Isthmian canal; and it desires to have the waterway open at the earliest possible date, knowing that British ships' will be Its largest users. South America, furthermore, will derive so much more benefit from the choice of Panama than from the Nicaragua route, that any tran sient expressions of displeasure, on ac count of the increased authority of the United States over the Isthmus, would promptly disappear In the very genuine interest that would be aroused by the spectacle of Uncle Sam's big dredgers, steam shovels, and power drills making their way through earth and rock. The German naval jingoes would doubtless ex press some discontent, and sigh for what might have been; but German commercial interests will be heartily glad to have the assurance of a new route to the Orient. Continuing the Chronicle says: Everybody who knows the President Is aware of his habit of confiding the most delicate secrets of state In men whom- he likes, and especially his literary friends. The confidence which he reposes in them is a great deal more expansive than that which he gives to even the most favored members of his cabinet. That Dr. Shaw obtained from someone high in authority at Washington a com prehensive and accurate statement of what was going forward under the cover of diplomatic secrecy in Panama long be fore the American public had even a re mote suspicion of what was happening Is demonstrated beyond peradventure by his extraordinarily accurate forecast of the Panama revolution. Nobody in Washington has the slight est, doubt about where Dr. Shaw obtained his information. He wrote the article not later than the 20th of last October, or fully two weeks before the revolution be gan. His obvious purpose was to prepare the public mind for what has since hap pened. The President has acted throughout upon the assumption that his course will re ceive the commendation of the American people. He consented to let the promoters of the $40,000,000 deal finance the revolu tion. He could riot do that himself, be cause he had no funds at his disposal for the purpose. He did, however, agree to exercise his authority as commander-in-chief of the navy to have on hand a suf ficient force to overawe the Colombian authorities. He kept his word with the promoters. The concluding chapter of the con spiracy will be to pay to tho revolutionary government the large sum of S12.ooo.ocki which the authorities at Bogota refused to accept on the ground that it was not enough in view of the fact that the French company was to receive 40,000,000 for division among its stockholders in France and legislative lobbyists in Wash ington. Of course. Congress is expected to stamp this phase of the deal with Its Instant approval by passing a bill appro priating the sum agreed upon. Tho Hearst papers are bursting with in Slgnatlon over President Roorevelfs recog nition of the Panama revolutionists. He is called a freebooter and his action is called piracy. The Examiner says: The United States of America has rec ognized the insurgent "government" of tho new "Republic of Panama," which has no government and has stepped in to prevent the United States of Colombia from putting down the rebellion. Is this country, then, to be the bully of the American continent instead of friend and protector tho Monroe doctrine proclaimed it to be? Columbia refused to permit us to make a canal across the Isthmus on our own terms. Our reply to this has been to en courage the secession of the state which the canal Is to traverse, and with inde cent haste to recognize a government that is at yet only a few Insurgents who would never have dared to raise their flag had they not been assured that this country would protect them against the conse quences of their temerity. The New York Sun backs up the State Department with this: The Department of State Is right in choosing this time for the with drawal of Minister Beaupre from Bogota, technically on leave of absence, but really, as there Is sufficient reason for supposing, to mark the displeasure of the United States Government with the mercenary politics that accomplished the rejection of tho Hay-Herran treaty. What need of keeping a diplomat at Boifota, where the carefully wrought products of friendly and fair diplomacy have to undergo revision by a Congress bent on blackmail? Walter Wellman, Washington corre spondent for tho Chicago Record-Herald, in a dispatch to his paper, has the fol lowing to say: Columbia holds the United States re-J sponsible for the loss of its province. It will probably draw up a bill of grievances, which it will ask the world to take notice of. It will say that tho revolution was Incited and aided by this Government, that f tho United States violated the laws of neutrality by preventing Colombia from using force to crush the rebellion, and that but for the action of the United States in landing troops and preventing the occupation of Colon and the bom bardment of Panama, the Isthmus would noc be in the hands of the revolutionists. This protest may amuse its authors, but it will have no practical effect. The Presi dent and the Cabinet are agreed that the best interests of the world are subserved by the separation of Panama from Co lombia, and the substitution of law and peace for the perpetual riots and disre gard of law which have compelled the United States time and time again to land troops in fulfillment of its treaty stipula tions. President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay hold that the United States Is a trus tee for civilization In the isthmus. As such trustee, the United States will have no bloodshed, no destruction of property, no ruin of the people. The United States has special rights and powers In the Isth mus under the treaty of 1&16, but It has the higher Tight and power under Its re sponsibility as the dominant nation of the Western Hemisphere. So far as European nations are con cerned, they are locking on with Illy-concealed amusement.4 They think the United States has played an exceedingly clever game and thpy admire cleverness. It Is the sort of game which they themselves play whenever occasion .arises.' If the United States had permitted the little gang of boodlers and blunderers at Bogota to block the greatest engineering project the world has ever known, or had suffered itself to be driven to a notoriously In ferior location for its canal, this nation would have been the laughing stock of the world. Any other nation would have simply driven the Colombians out and taken possession. The" would vhave an nexed the Isthmus and have been done with it. Th difference between what Great Britain or Germany or Russia or France would have done In like circum stances and what the United States Is doing now Is that any other nation would have gobbled what It wanted, while .the Unlled States seeks no territorial aggrand izement; they would not pay the new republic 510,000,000 for the canal conces sion, and it is understood the United Stales stands ready to pay the people of the isthmus as much as it had proposed to pay Colombia. . . . Meanwhile our old friend, Senator Mor gan, is simply crazy with rage. He threat ens to introduce resolutions impeaching President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay for "this crowning Infamy." Probably, however, he will cool himself off with a speech four or five days in length. New York dispatches say that the plans for the Panama reyolution had been go ing on for three months prior to the actual revolution and that the Waldorf-Astoria was the headquarters of the revolutionary junta. It was from these headquarters that tho arms and munitions of war which were in possession of the revolu tionists were supplied. The New York Times says editorially under the caption "A National Disgrace": Theodore Roosevelt is as little likely as any President we have ever 'had to fall a victim to the wiles of other men, or to become the dupe and instrument of schemers. If he has ever been be trayed into folly it was of his own mo tion and through the mistakes of his own judgment. He is not a President to set a guileless foot into the traps of other men. If therefore, Mr. Roosevelt pursues a course which will result in the dismem berment of the Republic of Colombia, and thereafter proceeds with the Panama Canal undertaking, which the destruction of the sovereignty over the Isthmus would leave him free to pursue, all the world will conclude that the Instigation of the revolt. Interference by us to prevent the suppression of It, and the recognition of the Independence of the new little repub lic, were one and all measures of our National policy determined upon long In advance by our government, and executed by the President to the end that In that way all obstacles to the construction by us of the Panama Canal might be re moved. If such a policy of wrong and spoliation should provoke protests, If we should incur the censure of Just men and civilized governments, it it should be felt at home and abroad that we had disgraced ourselves and put a stain upon the coun try's good name by such a policy of dis honorable intrigue and aggression, the President could not escape his full share of the responsibility. . . . In proof of the .fact that this was not empty speculation we have" now before us the disclosure that three months ago 4000 Winchester rifles, 1,600,000 rounds of am munition, and other material of war to the value of SCO.000 were shipped from Mor gan City, Da., under clearance papers pur porting to cover a cargo of lumber. "The attempt to land these munitions of war at a point on the Colombian coast 25 mile3 north of Colon failed because the government troops had got wind of the matter. The steamship having the arms aboard then sailed away for Porto Rico, a territorial possession of the United States, where the rifles and ammunition were successfully delivered over to the revolu tionists of Panama. It is no violation of the laws of neutrality for our merchants to sell ritles and cartridges to citizens of the Republic of Colombia. The signifi cance of the incident lies In the fact that these arms were shipped three months ago, and that they were obtained not in Mexico, not In France or Germany, but in the United States. It is reDorted that the revolt was planned in this city by citizens of Colombia. However that may be, it is o fact that the plans or; the In surgents were known in New York more than two months ago. It was to this country that the authors of the plot nat urally turned for help. The Los Angeles Times justifies the acticn of the President in his attitude to ward tho Republic of Panama and' says that what was done was the only thing under tho circumstances could have been done. It says: In recognizing the do facto government of Panama, the Government of the United States has taken the only course con sistent with its attitude, its obligations and Its manifest duty In the premises. That our action will be misconstrued, to some extent, is inevitable. That the future will Justify this action and prove its wisdom beyond all cavllr Is a prob ability which amounts to a practical cer tainty. . . . Some of our critics may say that we have acted hastily. To this it may be re plied that, possibly, action might have been delayed for a short time without se rious consequences. Yet the urgency of the case is not to be overlooked. Ameri can Interests were menaced with every hour of delay. "A condition, not a the oryfc" confronted us. Without a doubt, the action taken so" promptly by the Washington Government would have be come necessary later on. In any eventual ity. Such being the case, it is well that the inevitable action was taken without unnecessary -delay. The great powers of Europe, without ex ception thus far, seem willing not only to acquiesce in the course pursued by our government, but even to. co-operate with us to any extent that the exigencies of the case ma require. Comment In England, France and Germany Is especially favor able and wholly friendly. That the course pursued will cause bitterness In Colom bia, and In some of the other Spanish American . states, is not to. be doubted. But this will soon subside, especially when the fact shall fully have been made I manifest that we have no thoughts of conquest, and no intention of depriving the people of Panama of any of their sov ereign rights. . The charge has already been made that the United States Government has con nived at the revolution, and has finally brought it about, for sefish purposes. This charge is unworthy of discussion, and we dismiss it as preposterous. A London dispatch to the San Francisco Call says: All Europe is watching Panama with jealous eyes. The Times today Indirectly accused President Roosevelt of being aware of the existence of a scheme to free. Panama. Nowhere Is there the least doubt that' the" Washington Government will make the best possible use of the emergency to extend legitimately the area of American influence. In some quarters, chiefly German hints arc thrown out that the American authorities were not taken entirely by surprise when the In surrection occurred. One Berlin paper suggests that the leaders of the move ment are not "such born fools as to have xauea to get conuort in advance irom Mr. Roosevelt." Another remarks gloom ily that Europe, having decided that tho United States is not to be challenged seriously concerning the Monroe Doctrine, may as well make up Its mind to see the eagle take each year flight nearer the South Pole. Such ill-natured observations are the exception rather than the rule. They are not made outside of Berlin. In Paris, as in London, the course of the Washington Government is pronounced strictly cor rect. There, as here, however, the con viction Is gaining that the Isthmian waterway will now be through Panama and not Nicaragua whatever is the out come of secession. "Indecent haste" Is a phrase which a good many Englishmen apply to President Roosevelt's recognition of the so-called Republic of Panama. As one correspond ent says "even the Jamleson raid pretend ed to a humane end, whereas it is impos sible to conceal the fact that the present enterprise is purely commercial." Imperoallsts here are Inclined to call It destiny. Without bothering about details they welcome the enlargement of Amer ica's territorial commitments, cherishing the belief that an Imperial America will find Itself In sympathy with an Imperial Great Britain. Mr. Balfour's ministry, at least, may be expected to watch the ex tension of the United States' control over Central and South America with compla cence if not untouched, perhaps, by cyni cism. TO AID THE PROSECUTION. Francis J. Heuey Will Assist District Attorney Hall. The Attorney-General has appointed Francis J. Heuey, of San Francisco, Spe cial Assistant Attorney-General to co operate with United States District At- wmej juuh xt. xiu.ii in me prosecution of Marie L. Ware, Horace G. McKlnley, S. A. D. Puter, Guy Huff and Emma L. Watson, the defendants In the famous land fraud cases. Mr. Heuey arrived from San Francisco yesterday and is at the Portland Hotel. He is one of the leading members of the California bar and enjoys a large civil practice and his wide experience emi nently fits him for his present commis sion. He spent the day in consultation with District Attorney Hall and Special Inspector Greene regarding the cases and In examining the papers pertaining to them. He Is well-pleased with the thor ough preparation of the. cases and is con fident of securing convictions. Mr. Heuey has an enviable reputation as a prosecutor. During the last Cleveland Administration he was Attorney-General of Arizona, andx his able conduct of that office attracted wide attention In legal circles. In 1S91 he conducted the prose cution of the Infamous Fred Smith, who embezzled funds to tho amount of $50,000 while receiver of the United States Land Office at Tucson, Ariz. He secured four different indictments again6t Smith, but the latter forfeited a heavy bond and escaped conviction by fleeing to Canada. For the past eight years Mr. Heuey has devoted himself exclusively to civil prac tice In San Francisco and has undertaken no eriminal cases. He is a lifelong Dem ocrat and his selection by the Administra tion for the present work Is taken as an evidence that it desires to relieve the prosecution of the fraud cases from any suspicion of political grandstand play. That the departments of the Interior and Justice will spare no effort to probe the scandals to the bottom and punish the offenders there can be no question, since a conspicuous member of the opposing party has been called Into the work. Mr. Heuey was reticent when asked to discuss the cases: "I have refused all criminal cases for many years, but when urged by Attorney General Knox and Secretary Hitchcock to undertake the land fraud matter I felt it my duty to accept. I enjoy a personal acquaintance with General Knox, having appeared In many cases against the Gov ernment, and felt complimented when he insisted that I come to Portland and co operate with your District Attorney. I feel that Mr. Hall has the case thoroughly in hand and am sure that our association will be most pleasant. The evidence which has been secured through his ef forts and those of Mr. Greene prove con clusively to my mind the guilt of the accused, and every effort will be made to convict them." It Is expected that Judge Bellinger will pass upon the demurrer raised by the counsel for the defense as to Indictments returned against the defendants within the next few days. If the demurrer should be overruled, the cases will prob ably come up for trial some time next week. Should the Indictments be held to be faulty, the Government will probably ask for a special grand Jury and endeavor" to secure new Indictments. BLIND COUPLE WEDDED. H. C. Smith and Miss Sadie Bristow Married. That love comes to the sightless as well as the seeing Is demonstrated in the mar riage o'f 3IIss Sadie Bristow and. H. C. Smith, which was solemnized at Keno, Oregon, yesterday. Both are blind, and as strange as it may seem, both at one time in their lives were able to see and to enjoy the beautiful things In nature. But each had that stamina of character which Is to be admired even in one gifted with full use of all the senses, so Instead of being a charge upon friends or relatives, these afflicted persons have made their own way In the world, and by their cheer fulness of disposition under such trying circumstances have been a silent reproof to many a dissatisfied person. Miss Bristow is very well known in -Pnrti.nnH hovin tnJf , .V .-" ' , ...... ..D ui,w.. uiuiu uiuc utre as the guest of her sister. Mrs. Kate C. Warren, of the Central school, and her cousin. Mr. R. E. Bristow. of the Oregon Furniture Company. Her home is In Nashville, Lincoln County, and she re ceived her education at the Salem School for the Blind, where she afterward taught for several years. It was while here that she became acquainted with her pres ent husband through the medium of cor respondence for the blind, and when they aftexward met In their native state, this formal acquaintance soon ripened into af fection. Mr. Smith is a man of considerable means, owning a store and some fine property in Klamath County. That he has not allowed his loss of sight to Im pair his usefulness in the world is proved Dy ine lact mat ne conducts his own bus! ness, and almost entirely constructed tho j house in which he now lives. He goes into the timber and cuts his own wood, felling a tree as ably as a man with two good eyes. Miss Bristow is not far be hind him. in accomplishments, for she Is able to go about the city alone and does housework with perfect ease. She. Is now 30 years old, and fully 20 of those years have been spent in total darkness. Mr. Smith, who Is now 40, had perfect sight until ho was 21. but hard study after a severe case of measles at that time caused his blindness. Mr. and Mrs. Smith will live at Keno, Klamath County, Oregon. WELCOME WAS WARM. Delegates to Irrigation Convention Full of Pendleton's Praises. Pendleton's hospitality made more of an Impression on the Portland delegates to the Irrigation Convention than the mere matter of watering arid lands. They re turned yesterday, and in answer to quer ies regarding the number of delegates at tending they gave statistics as to the la dles at the reception held In their honor. When asked whether somebody made a good address, they put it aside as a dry subject, and told of the pretty speeches made that were not included in the min utes. The Irrigating of arid lands was superseded, by the moistening of arid throats. In consequence. Pendleton has acquired many ardent admirers. The gladdened eyes of tho delegates ex tended beyond the Music Hall, where the reception was held, and they took notice of the cement sidewalks, good streets and generally prosperous appearance of the Wheat City. "Pendleton," said A. H. Devers, "Is a compact little city, and the people treated us royally." BUt when the more Important matter of showing their hosts that they were hav ing a good time did not occupy the dele gates, they listened to Instructive papers on the reclamation and use of the sage brush districts, and held general discus sions with the purpose of educating themselves on Irrigation. A. King Wilson stirred up a discussion of the laws relating to irrigation, and Mayor T. G. Halley and C. W. Mallett, who are on the committee appointed by the Governor to draft a new law, picked up a good many pointers from the dele gates of 12 counties represented, and have a consensus of opinion as to riparian rights and the question of the shortage of water, which will aid them in drafting a law that will suit all parties Interest ed.
