Washington, iMay 7. In order to re
move the objection raided by the isth
mian canal commis.ion, the . Panama
Canal company, with the approval of
the Colombian government, has an
nounced the terms upon which it will
sell the Panama canal to the United
States. The letter containing its prop
osition was submitted to Rear Admiral
Walker, chairman of the commission.
by Dr. Martinez Silva, Colombian minister.
No price Is set by the company for
Its property and franchise It suggests
the appointment of appraisers one by
the United States, one by the com
pany, these two appraisers to select a
third the estimate-of the hoard thus
formed to be final. No conditions
whatever are attached to the proposal.
u is a clean offer,- ft Is expected by ad
vocates of the Panama canal route,
and will have an important effect upon
the final recommendations of the com1-
mission. The concession of the com-
ipany contains a provision, Senor Silva
fsaid, under which it becomes forfeited
the moment the comoanr enters into
liiegotiations with a foreign government
for the transfer of its rights. Before
the submission of the preliminary re
port the commission did not . have the
pHatBkot ' ttAtttol60i "govern
ment to enter into negotiations . with
the United 'Staitesf and M. -Hutiora. ipresi'-
dent'ofthe company was therefore un
able to announce the terms upon which
the concession might be sold.
The Colombian government, desirous
of removing all obstacles in the way
of American construction of the canal,
has given permission to the company
to state the (terms upon which it is
willing to sell.
The Walker commission estimates
the value of the work done and the
property of the Panama company at
about $34,000,000. Something, It is be
lieved ty the company, should be paid
for its franchise and for the work done
solving the various roblems in connec
tion with the construction of the canal.
All this is a matter for the hoard pro
posed -to Jbe formed under its proposal
in the case the United States deter
mines to complete 'the Panama waterway.
