Washington, May 23. — The follow ing statement was given out at the War department tonight: “ No little amusement has been cre ated in the administration at Washing ton and among its friends over the at tempt to distort the facts about the Panama purchases, and especially in the attempt to show that under pressure there has been an alteration in policy. Ever since Secretary Taft and the Panama coigmissioon, with the presi dent's approval, announcced their in tention, there has not been the slight est change, and all statements to the contrary have no foundation whatever.” The statement seems to indicate some difference of opinion between the pres ident and Secretary Taft regarding the policy of purchasing supplies for the Isthmian canal wherever they can be secured at the lowest prices. After the policy of ’ buying supplies either in America or abroad had been announced, great pressure was exerted by the “ stand-patters” to have the matter left for determination o( con gress. Speaker Cannon was at the White house and urged this course on the president. The matter was pre sen ted to the cabinet meeting Friday and the subsequent intimation given that concessions had been made the ultra-pratectionists to the extent that only necessary material would be pur chased until an opportunity had beeD given congress to enact legislation on the subject. This is now followed by a declaration .from Secretary Taft that there has been no change of policy. There w ill undoubtedly be a renewal of pressure upon the president either to have supplies bought from American manufacturers at increased prices or nothing done until after assembling of congress.
