The Minister in Panama (South) to the Secretary of State
[Received 6:55 p.m.]
100. My 99, September 25, 1 p.m.21 There is no prospect of reaching an agreement under the present administration. The President evidences the desire that the conversations should be allowed to be continued after October 1st. I have again informed him and the Commissioners that the Department’s informal proposals are definitely withdrawn and that the negotiation will have to be continued between the two commissions in Washington after agreement had been reached upon the two principal points of contention. I regret exceedingly that the unforeseen developments in regard to [Page 537] other matters prevented completion of the treaty at this time. I hope however that the Department feels that the circumstances justified the effort.
