Oat. lt-Th president today tnetructed Pecretary Taft to make a personal visit to Panama and confer with to president, and other officiate of the republic, regarding th question arising over ths possession of th United States of th canal son. . Thm HuMdrr will laav November 14, -Taft will take with him Minister Obal- dta and William Nelson Cromwell, coun sel of the new Panama aanal company. It Is now stated that the situation haa been most strained, and that open rup ture of th two countries has been barely averted. Tb feeling tn Panama Is very bitter against the United ftatas, and threats have bees mad, to. dynamite th oanaL. This new phase that haa developed la th affaire of this oountry tn Ita rela tions with ths newest republic bring to mind th many published statements and comments on the manner la which the canal deal wa brought about and successfully consummated. Almost a year ago many rumors wer In circula tion relative to the plana that were adopted by a few to make million out of the transfer of th canal right of way. Th mmM than waa that the Panama rosohiUoa wa fostered by a ayndloat of Paris and New York brokers. No thought of resolution, waa to owtward appearances vlslbl until th prjcaad liufa in th canal transfer reached a stag where those Interested la tfc ayv dloat saw th time waa ripe to make a speculation that would yield mTTTton. The person Interested In the syndicate formed aa Immense pool for speculating In th aha res and other securities of the Panama Canal company. To further their scheme an amount said to be llto, 000 waa furnished and Judiciously used ta fiirt th. mum of the revolutt&Rarv party. Of this amount ,000 waa used to brlb th Colombian troop wneu tn time arrived, to bav them leave th Isthmus. v. Oa the Parts bourse share of th oanal company were selling for Tl. when th syndicate of brokers took bold of the revolutionary project. In a abort Urn those same shares ware Mlllng at 111. At that price tfaa profits of th syndicate war estimated at 4.00,40t. Taking this Into consideration thar ar many who have carefully kept In touch with th affaire on tn tethmus, who are Inclined to believ that, th reports emanating from that country to th effect that dynamiting and open rupture ha been Imminent, ar only th muttered rumblings of another South Americas revolutionary plan to fleece mor millions from th fluctuating stocks oa the bourse. However, there ar those who bear tn mlrtd the conflict ing statements mad by Minister Barrett and the representatives from the isth mus, and th fact that Freeldont Roose vlt haa 'deemed H necessary to send Secretary Taft to eonfe on th situa tion, and these ar Inclined to plaos soma eredono In th report that th trou ble Is of ft serious nature.
