CHARGE RO0^)tV*tT AS A CON-
SPXRATOB.
Aa The Catipaw in Fom^inf a Kev-
ulution in P«tut»» Caoal^Deal
—Hiwi Warship* on Waj.
Theodore Roosevelt, while President
vT the United States, was the catspaw
of William Nelson Cromwell, counsel
fur the New Panama Canal Company^
in the transfer of the canal site. The
V»’^orid continues its presentaMon of
fhar^es that President Roosevelt con
spired to foment a revolution in Pan
ama, that the property was seized
fron Colombia without just compen-
£-i.tiQi and that American money, to-
icelhor with capital irom the Panama
Railroad, was used in bribing Cblombia
soldiers to forsake their country and
i^iake possible a bloodless rebelii.n.
Ti,i World asserts.it is fortified with
documentary evidence to bear out >ts
charges.
Today matters connected with the
inception of the revolution i\re dealt
■with. The salient features are:
“That WiHiam Xelson.Cromweil us
ed Theodore Roosevelt.and tne Admia-
2:^t':a:^on :i? pawr.^- in the jsramc ni‘
company was playip.y;.
“That the stake* weic the $40,000,-
O0» which the Urdted States was lo
pay his company t’ov its propenies.
‘'That President Rcosevek threat-
crxJ the Colombian Government if . H
r=?ru5ed... to ratify the Hny-Hcrrar.
tieuty. ■
‘•That warship? \veve actually on
ti'.eii way to Panama even before t ^c
r.voludon was declared.
“That the Colo:=-bhi?’ Miniiier,
learned of Cromweirs al.-e,c:ed oon-
s^i.irrcy, threatened to seiz5 the canal
c.:mpany’s properties and that theic-
upon Cromwell relinquished ne?:oti:>
tion? to Bunau-Variila,
'•That an elaborate code was ar-
rang-ed in the L'nited States with Pr.
Amador, surgeon of the Panama R'liil-
T«.ad and one of the alleged conspira
tors, by which the American co-con
spirators might be Icept informed of
the revolution.”
ROOSEVELT’S PRIVATE OPINION.
The World challenges the statement
made by Colonel Roosevelt that “Wc
did not in the smallest degr , in>?tigate
the revolution. The people of Pan*
am,** were a unit in demanding the re
volution.’’ To support the statement
thf: the President was strongly in fa
vor of such a revolution, this letter *s
published:
‘^White House, Washington,
October 10, iyo:i.
*‘My Dear Mr, t?hav.-; 1 er.':lose yon
purely for your own information, a
cop;^ of a letter of September 5 from
our Minister to Colombia. I think
thoi it might in^rest you to see that
ttierc was absolutely not tho sb'ghtcrt
c;iai:ce of securing Uy treaty any more
than we cjideavored to secure. The
alternatives were to p:o to Nicaragu"i
against the advice of the gieal ma
jority of competent ‘ngineers—sofr.e
of the mo:^t competent saying that we
had better have no canal at this lime
ihaij go there—or else to take the
lerr':ory by force without any attempt
a” getting a treaty.
’*1 cast aside the proposition madc-
a; this time to foment the secession
cf Panama. Whatever other govern
ments can do, the United States can-
net go into the securing by such un-
i:rfnamji li'it: «.eoaicji. xiisatc-
ly I freeiy say to you that I should
be aelighted in Panama were an inde-,
pendent State; or if *t made itself so
31 this moment: but for me to
so publicly would amount to an :n-
sigatiotj of a revolt, and therefore I'
cannot say it- With great regards,
ijncerely y«urs,
••THEODORE ROO-SEXELT.’^
(Viuinuing it.« exposition, the World
i^ays:
President Roosevelt received Bunau-
Varilla at the White House on Octo
ber 0 and they discussed the Panama
revolution together. The agent of the
iVew Panama Railway Company left
Iht President’s private o^ce, to quote
Vunau-Vanlla's own words, “Finally
ill possession of all the elements ne
cessary for action,” and with the cer
tainty tahat “if a revolution were lo
gcfierate new conditions favorable to
the acquisition of the Cannl Zone by
the United States, President Roosj-'
velt would immediately seize the op
portunity.*’
NAVAL FORCES READY.
Wikjte Px««ideat Roosevelt was r«-
the reports of his s{ms In Pan-
umu Bunao-Vatilla was at Secretary
Hay*& home. The Secretary of State
tolct the French agent of the Panama
Cr.nal Company that the United States
would “not, be caught napping,” and
rtat “orders have already been given
to naval forces on the Pacific to sail
t^'^ward the Isthmiis.”
Returning from W'ashington Bunau-
Varilla at once sent for Ambor, who
called on him at the Waldorf on Oc-
tobei 17. Bunau-Varilla said:
'*! can give you the assurance that
I oxx will be protected by the American
forces eight hours lafter yoj have pro
claimed the ne\y republic in the whole
lothmus.’*
The hostile dispositions of the Co-
Jii'itiaii press and Goxernment were
so manifest that- Mr. Cromwell sug-
^e-ted to Secretary Hay, on June 9,
to have the American Government
y^nd an ultimatum to the. Colombian
Government in advance of the meet
ing!: of its Congress in Bogota.
ULTIMATUM TO COLOMBIA.
Secretary Hay submitted t.is sug
gestion of Presideui Koosevv"!:; who
>.jnt for Mr. Cromwell, and after due
f jnsideration directed that ihc follow-
i:tg ultimatujn be se.'.i through the
A:-ncricaji Minister in iio^eta:
“The Calombian Govcrn:ncnt ap
parently does not appreciate the.grav
ity of the i-;Tuation. The canal ne-
jiotmtior.s were inkiatod by Colombia,
and were energetically pressed upcn
this government for several years.
The proposition?’ presented by (.'olcm*
1-ia, Y.'ith sli*rht modifjcatiyns, were
finally accepted by u>*. .bi virtue
thiw agreement our Congress reversed
it.i previous Judgment and 'iccicea un-
cn the Panama Route.
‘‘If Colombia should now rejcct the

CROMWELL’S ACTiVlXlES.
Mr. Cromwell saw eleaijy that the-.
orw> way to escape sati.sfyin;? ifo just
dcaiand of Colombia wa.? to get Pres
ident Roosevelt to refuse to allow the
treaty to depend in any way oi; a tne-
viou.s settlement between Cj'jmoia
iT.d the canal and railroad con.pa*
nies.
So to save money to his die tt.s, Mr.
Cjonp.vell had numerous interviews
with Secretary Hay, Senators Hanna,
Spooner a?jd Kittredge, C-jHgressnjati
Burton and other puMy leaders ii.
(’cngress, and on certain occa^i^*!/
with President RoosevjU. Hi urged
that Colombia had already pledged
herself morally to con^en;. and that
hei consent should be imp‘>sed upon
h:.s as being demanded by interna-
tir-njil good iullii, iitid j.hus sacceetlec
in getting the American Governmei’t
t^ use all its influence in favor of
the French company, and on several
occasions Secretary Hay sent to the
American Minister, ofr transmission
t'.. the Colombian Government, firm
a’ld positive refusals to consent lo
the amendment or Lransrcticn pro
posed.
Mr. Cromwell reported to his em-
piojer that the Secret;*ry o/ State of
the United States had invited him,
representative of ihe Parama Ca-
r.u; Company, to colibov.ite m the
vTiiing of these instructions.
PARTY IS PLEDGED tO; ANNEX
NATION,*
Seitor Querido MeheRO, a Verj Promi-
iwnt Mexiqiii, IndMa The
Progressive Partj.
Vtra Graz, Mexico, July 10.—Qu-
erid-.» Moheno, former Mexican Minis
ter of ComiVie^e and Labor, before de
parting coday on board the Espagne,
vindently criticised the policy of the
United State towards Mexico. As be
sat in. the forward- saloon of the liner,
Senor Moheno looked through a port-
hc le towards the. American flag flying
at VftY3i Cruz and shook his fist in
rage.
He insisted that he was in a posi
tion to produce proofs that there ex
isted '‘secret platform” of the Pro-
grs.- sive party in the-United States,
of which Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
was cognizant and in which he con-
curicJ, looking to the. disruption of
Mexi;:;^. and the acquisition untiniate-
ly ly the' United States of all the
territory between the jRio Grande and
Piinama.
CLAIMS PROOFS.
He saitL that Francisco Escudoro.
whc‘ wa^ Minister of Foreign Relations
: 1 Cana^.zn’s Cabinet, has letter
which tc him are conclusive, evidence
ti .his allegations, and declared he
hc.pt'd to i'O able to produce thest* let
ter” at the proper time.
**And ?7or oi.'Jy wei'e the leader>' of
the Progressive party pledged to this
poliL’v.*’ he added, ^‘but politicians of
botl* the Kepub'jioan and Democratic
j'uriie.* had promised their secret st;p>
port. That President Wilson himself
had >ul'scribed to this iniquitous cox-
rci-'poju'ence as evidenced by his at-
titrdt' toward Mexico. Not a single
.'.mt-rican in all the hundred miMion
population of the United States c-in

those troops are on shore m Vera
Cru-i/'
; r:o'V President V^ilson't crime
a.r.upst Mexico—the greatest in the
hist ry of modern Nations,” is the
ar-?uu!]ced object of Senor Moheno’s
trip to the United States by way of
Cuba. He arrived here this roornmg
cn the Espang-e from Puerto Mexico,
and said he would not go ashore.
SAVS irS CRLME.
Moheno said he hoped, while in the
United States, to convince the .Ameri-
c»*n people of che ca ormity of the
ilt nt Wilson but by all the political
“crime committed not only by Pre:-'i-
fjctors in the United States, regaru-
Ie.=£ of party.”
Mi. heno added that he did not agree
with the opinion that the oii interests
were responsible for the revolutions
in Mexico- He ascribed them to the
government cs direrted by its politi-
ians.
-Senor Moheno did not have any ma
lt; iaf hope that the overthrow of Gen^
eral Huerta by the Constitutionalists
would be followed hy )»eace.
M«;hor:.o frankly admitted beiief
thut jMTied pnterVL'ntioi; in Mexico tin-
aiiy wouid come. He promised to re-
iveal on his arrival in Xew York the
cxa^'t method of killing of the late
President Madero and Vice President
|P.‘no Suarez.
I will sny now that I am confideni
(f.eneral Huerta had nothing to do
jwith the assassination of these men ”
!he ccntinued.
V/hen asked sf he wa;^ going ashore
v.-hile in Vera Cruz IJoheiio replied:
“Going ashore? N'o r,ot r. It is not
a pieasar.t spectacle for any patriotic
Mexican. However, I am not afraid
to. .! do not fear the Americans nor
CO I fear my own people.
AITITUOE TOW A Kb TREATY.
The Colomlian Government never
in any way, shape or form, approved
tiie Hay-Herran treaty, it :»iaintain-
■J the position it had taken fiom the
tii’st that the canal and raiiioad com
panies would have to pay Colombia
just compensation for the right to
transfer their concsssijns to the Unit
ed States.
This contention had the unanimous
sjipport of all parties in Color.ibia, all
the more so as most legal authorities
maintained that the canal concession
lAOuId expire in the following year—
190 i—when the entire properties of
the company would revert to Coiom-
h^a, which could have sold them to
vhe United States.—Condensed from
New York World by Baltimore Sun.
CAPITAL MUST FALL.
“I !eft President Huerta’s Cabinet
because I was asked to,” continued
Jlohero. “Pluerta did not 0ive me
a reason. I am not runninjj away b&-
cause I fear the re!)M> when they
set iheie and their c^'ininj^ ife irie\*5t-
able.”
Traveling on the same boat nre
OenerEl Joaquin Maas and Colonel
AIar,o Maas, relative.-^ of Huerta, nn(f
their familie.s. The only apparent
season for the flight of the Maas
brothers was escape from the capital
before it falls, the inevitability of
which they also admitted.
Brigadier General Funston sent an
officer aboard the Espagne before the
ship (Iceked to ascertain the intentions
of Moheno dnd General Maas. He
futred to have fhm «ome be
cause of the probability of an' un
friendly reception b;^ Mencans. Both
were assured military protection.
Senor Moheno trembled visibly
while talking to the lieutenant and he
apparently was holding himself in re
straint. He assured the officer he had
no desire to leave the ship. General
Maas was very rarly. He thanked
the lieutenant for General Eunston’s
offer, but with noticeable sarcasm as
sured him ihat nora of his party
would land under the An'.eriea:-. uug.
