CHINESE TO CELEBRATE HERE

Big Manifestation for Thursday

The Chinese colony in Panama has from the outbreak of the revolution in China been ardent sympathizers with the movement.They have manifested the keenest interest in the progress of the struggle and have expressed their adhesion to the revolutionary cause in the more substantial and convincing manner of transmitting funds raised on the Isthmus in behalf of the revolution to the leaders of the movement.

Immediately on the publication of cable despatches announcing the formation of a republic with Dr.Sun Yat Sen as provisional President the following cable was sent to the leader of the movement:

“President Sun Yat Sen, Wuchang:The Chinese colony, admiring the enthusiastic patriotism of the revolution, send you their warm greetings and hope the wishes of the Chinese Republic for stability and progress may be realized.”

The reply received from Dr.Sun read as follows:

“Chinese colony, Panama:Thank you heartily, President Sun Yat Sen.”

The members of the colony have decided to hold a grand patriotic manifestation throughout the Isthmus on Thursday, the 18th instant, and messages arranging for a simultaneous observance of the occasion have been exchanged with Chinese at Colon, the Canal Zone and points in the interior.

The manifestation will take the form of a mass meeting of Chinese at the club house on Thirteenth street, which will he suitably decorated for the occasion, the flag of all nations to be hoisted.The principal feature of the decoration will be the illumination at night.Incandescent lights will be arranged on the pattern of the new republican flag of China, with the legend underneath, in letters of light,“Viva El Dr.Sun Yat Sen.” The interior of the building will be graced with portraits of Dr.Sun Yat Sen, President; Li Yuen Hung, commander of the revolutionary forces, and Wong Hing, Premier of the republican cabinet.The meeting will be called at 1 o'clock in the day and will be enlivened with music and firing of squibs and a display of fireworks at night.

Needless to say all business establishments kept by Chinese will be closed for the day and the resident of the sons of the new republic will be appropriately decorated.

中国人在这里庆祝

将于星期四举行大集会

自中国革命爆发以来,巴拿马的华侨一直是运动的热心支持者。他们对斗争的进程表现出最浓厚的兴趣,并以更实质和有说服力的方式表达他们对革命事业的追随,将以革命名义在伊斯提努斯筹集的资金转给了运动领袖。

紧接着,在宣布孙逸仙总统为临时总统组建共和国的快电发布后,向民选领袖发了以下电报:

“武昌孙逸仙总统:

华侨对革命的爱国主义表示赞赏,向您致以亲切的问候,并祝愿中华民国实现稳定和进步的愿望得以实现。”

收到孙博士的答复如下:

“巴拿马华侨:衷心感谢。孙逸仙总统。”

侨领们决定在星期四的巴拿马地峡第18区举行一次盛大的爱国主义集会活动,同时安排与科隆港、运河区和内地的中国人互通消息。

聚会形式将是第13街俱乐部的大型集会,这一场所将被适当地装饰,悬挂所有国家的国旗。装饰的主要特点为夜间照明。灯光将被布置成在新中华民国国旗的图案,在下面有灯光字母“孙逸仙博士万岁”。建筑内部将张贴孙中山总统、革命军指挥官黎元洪、共和国总理黄兴的肖像。会议将于当天一点钟举行,届时将伴随着音乐燃放夜间爆竹和焰火而活跃气氛。

毋庸置疑,那天华人的所有生意都将关门,新的共和国的孩子们的住所将被适当装饰。
