Both countries favor a continued U.S. presence in Panama, but Panama wants the United States to pay rent. A meeting of the minds has proven elusive: talks are on hold between President Clinton and Panamanian President Ernesto Perez Balladares. Yeltsin vows end to Chechnya fighting MOSCOW Desperate to show voters he will stop the war that is sinking his presidency, Boris Yeltsin on Sunday announced a halt to combat operations in Chechnya, limited troop withdrawals and a willingness to hold indirect talks with the rebels' leader.

But his long-promised peace plan stopped short of promising an end to the fighting and left scant hope for an imminent settlement. Yeltsin refused to budge on the separatists' two main demands full withdrawal of Russian troops and independence for Chechnya.

More than a dozen people allied with the anti-government group have been indicted, accused of a fraud scheme carried out between August 1994 and December 1995. Freemen also are accused of holding classes in how to defraud the government at a Jordan, ranch about a three-hour drive from Billings.

In a two-page interview published in Sunday's Reforma newspaper, Jose Cordoba, who spent more than five years as an adviser to Salinas, challenged his accusers to prove he was involved in the death of Luis Donaldo Colo-sio. Asked about a statement by Colosio's father, Luis Colosio Fernandez, that Cordoba had "something to do" with the killing, Cordoba replied, "The question offends the answer is an absolute no." "I was a close friend of his son and I was with him in his most difficult times in 1994," he said. Opposition politicians also have suggested Cordoba had a role in the March 23, 1994, murder of Colosio, who was shot while campaigning in Tijuana.

As the candidate of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, Colosio had been virtually guaranteed victory. "If these men want to maintain the value of their own words, I respectfully invite them to appear before the authorities, make denunciations and bring proof," said Cordoba, who lives in Washington. He said he returned to Mexico "exclusively to defend myself against infamous slander" and that he is willing to testify if called to do The government is still investigating who -was behind the assassination. x- Mario Aburto, who was arrested at the scene of the shooting, has been convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison but polls show most Mexicans believe the killing was a plot ordered from higher up. Asked if he had any idea who might have done so, Cordoba answered, "No.
