The "New York Times," after examining papers relating to the Panama Canai purchase, admits that they do not reveal that any money was paid to an American syndicate. An eminent French engineer closely connected with the revival of the Panama Canal project, states that three millions of American money was paid to the new Panama Company and five millions to the holders of the old company. President Roosevelt recently declared that it was infamous for American newspapers to assert that an American syndicate profited to the extent ot five millions from the eight million pounds paid to France for her rights in Panama. Congross has ordered an investigation of the charges.
