PEACE PLAN HE MAY FAVOR
Reunion of the Republic by Remov
ing the Capital to Panama
That Government Rejects
His Overtures.
COLON, Nov. 20. After much difficulty,
the Associated Press correspondent suc
ceeded, this afternoon, in "-interviewing
General Reyes, the distinguished Colom
bian soldier, who came to the isthmus on
a peace mission representing his govern
ment. General Reyes said:
"The day I left Bogota, which was on
the Itlh last., United States Minister Beau
pre and Secretary of the Legation Snyder
were well, though a little anxious. I as
sured your Minister that he was in no
danger, and today I am able to givo tho
same assurance to the Associated Pres3.
At tho time I left, Minister Beaupre was
preparing to go down the river.
"This morning Admiral Coghlan in
formed me officially that the United States
would prevent the landing of Colombian
troops on any part of the isthmus. I
promised Admiral Coghlan Colombia
would not take such action until I reached
Washington, whither I am proceeding, via
Port LSmon and New Orleans.
A Second Boer War.
"I also told Admiral Coghlan that if my
efforts at Washington failed to bring
about some arrangement concerning the
present situation on the isthmus satisfac
tory to Colombia, the United States would
have to fight the entire Colombian, people,
and it would be a second Boer war. I am
going to Washington for the purpose of
doing my utmost to arrange affairs ami
cably. "Colombia is in desperation. I doubt if
tho Washington Government, or Presi
dent Roosevelt, for whom I have tho
highest respect, realizes tho seriousness of
establishing this precedent. The largo
German colony In Rio Grande de SuL Bra
zil, is declared to be Inclining to a revolu
tionary movement for independence, which
tho success of Panama will stimulate.
"The Government of Colombia is receiv
ing the sympathy of all South America,
which is fearful of further American ter
ritorial aggrandizement in this direction.
Plan He May Propose.
T may propose, when in Washington, a
plan contemplating the re-entrance of
Panama into the Colombian union, and the
moving of the Colombian capital to Pan
ama City. I am sure this idea will receive
the support of all Colombians. I do not
Just know what my course of action will
be, but I am going to Washington in the
interests of Colombia and of civilization."
Asked whether Colombian troops could
reach the Isthmus by land, General Reyes
answered:
"Yes, I can get 100,000 men, build roads,
and, if it were not for the Americans,
could subdue the isthmus In a fortnight.
I would rather die for the honor and in
the defence of the Integrity of my country
than sit with hands folded and see her lose
the isthmus. I will do all I can at Wash
ington to effect a diplomatic arrangement,
if such be possible. I know tho Bentlments
of my countrymen."
General Reyes today sent a cablegram
to Bogota advising his government it was
Impossible to reach any agreement with
the Government of Panama, and hence
Colombia's relations with that government
were severed, and that he, accompanied
by the other commissioners', was proceed
ing to Washington to fulfill his mission.
Do Not Desire to Join Panama.
Questioned as to the rumor that tho De
partments of Cauca and Antioquia were
anxious to Join the Republic of Panama,
General Reyes said:
"The report of dissatisfaction In these
departments is not only untrue, but I am.
prepared to say the entire republic is
united In its determination to restore tho
Isthmus to the union."
General Reyes, who was a candidate for
the Presidency of Colombia, Issued a de
cree dated at Saranqullla, November 16,
addressed to the members'of the electoral
college at Bogota, which said:
"Having accepted a military mission,
empowered with all Presidential faculties
in almost all departments of the republic,
at a moment when my country Is prepar
ing for a Presidential election, I deem it
my duty to relinquish my candidacy.
Hence, I renounce Irrevocably, offering my
services to my country in any other position-"
General Reyes' attitude Thursday night,
as Indicated by his remarks, was more or
less bellicose. Though still, bellicose, he
Is more hopeful today. He seems dis-

AMERICA WAITS ON PANAMA.
Cabinet Decides She Must Ratify the
Canal Treaty First.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Several
subjects of interest and importance
were considered at today's meeting of
the Cabinet, which was attended by
every member. Matters relating to the
situation in Panama were the most im
portant topics discussed. Tho Presi
dent and Secretary Hay have decided,
and the decision meets tho approval of
the Cabinet, that tho existing govern
ment of Panama must ratify tho canal
treaty before action relating to its rati
fication by the Senate is taken. The
Administration has determined that
there shall be no repetition of the fail
ure of Coldmbla to complete the ratifi
cation of the treaty after final action
had been taken by tho United States
Senate.
The treaty will bo placed in the
hands of tho Panama Commissioners
now in Washington and by them it will
be taken to Panama.
This Government, it is anticipated,
will ratify it promptly. It is expected
that It will be returned to Washington
bearing the seal of the Panama govern
ment early in December. President
Roosevelt will then transmit tho treaty
to the Senate with a request for its
ratification.
Secretary Moody presented tho Cabi
net some interesting details Just re
ceived by him from Commander Hub
bard, of tho cruiser Nashville, at Pan
amu, concerning tho early phases of
the revolution. They camo by mall and
contained Important details not hereto
fore known to the Administration. They
will bo madb public soon.
Portions of the President's annual
message to Congress wero read, but
nothing concerning them was made
public. ,
CANAL TREATY MOST URGENT
Panama Will Allow Matters of Gov
ernment to Wait.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. The commis
sion fromPanama, accompanied by tho
Panama Minister, 1L Philippe Bunau-Va-rllla,
was received at the State Depart
ment today by Secretary Hay. The ex
changes, while informal, wero most cor
dial, and were in English.
Dr. Amador Informed tho Secretary that
tho commlsslners had carefully inspected
the Hay-Bunau-Varilla treaty, and de
sired to take this opportunity of express
ing their entire satisfaction with its
terms. Dr. Amador assured the Secre
tary that no time would be lost in Its
ratification by the Panama Government.
Ho then paid a tribute to the service
which the Panama Minister had per
formed in so promptly negotiating the
convention.
After these felicitations the Secretary
and commissioners discussed tho future
of the republic It was pointed out by
the Minister that the Junta felt it
must first accomplish the mission to
which it was called by the entire peo
plo of Panama, namely, ratify tho
treaty, and that then it would turn its
attention to the equally important
though "less Immediate" work of estab
lishing a mora detailed form of gov
ernment. The Secretary expressed deep
Interest In the future of the new state.
This afternoon the President will re
ceive the commission at tho White
House
Tho Stato Department today received
a- cablegram from United States Min
ister Thompson, dated at Petropolis
yesterday, stating that the Brazilian
Minister of Foreign Affairs had in
formed him the Brazilian govern
ment was ready to recognlzo tho new
Republic of Panama whenever appli
cation is mado In due form. Ambassa
dor Tower, from Berlin, made a similar
report as to the attitude of tho Ger
man government toward Panama.
It is now evident to tho State De
partment that there will be no with
holding of recognition by all of the
powers, as their representatives seem
to bo convinced of the stability of the
now republic
Not Likely to Assume Any of Debt.
'The earnest efforts of tho European
holders of Colombian bonds to securo the
assumption, by the new republic, of a
portion of the foreign Indebtedness of
Colombia has not failed to attract the
attention of the commissioners, and the
subject was broached at the talk at the
State Department today. Tho first im
pulse of the State Department officials
was to urge the new republic to assume
some share of this debt, on the ground
that such a course tvas usual in cases of
national separation. But It has now been
represented that the bulk of the foreign
indebtedness on Colombia is said to have
been contracted before the adhesion of
the Isthmus to the United States of Co
lombia. The money was borrowed in tho
period between 1S10 and 1S21, before the

Special Session of Senate as Well
as Congress Failed to Do the
Pleasure of President.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. (Special.)
Congress is in a stato of perplexity. It is
desirous of bringing tho extraordinary
session to an end before Thanksgiving, but
today discovered definitely it could not ad
journ before tho beginning of the regular
session, December 7, If It is to fulfill the
purposes for which it was called together,
that of making the Cuban reciprocity
treaty effective.
Gossip that the measure would meet
with determined opposition in tho Senate
crystallized today in open declarations
that while there would be no attempt to
talk the bill to death, it was tho Inten
tion of many members thoroughly to dis
cuss It. Thl3 has given emphasis to the
belief of the majority that tho bill cannot
bo passed this session, and that time
would bo gained by fixing a day for tak
ing a vote about the middle of December
and adjourning Wednesday.
Speaker Cannon has been consulted.
While he could enjoy a few days' rest, he
contends It would not be fair to the House
to take an early adjournment without final
action on the bill now pending. Strong
Influences aro being brought to bear upon
him, but it is the belief tonight that he
will "stay put."
Should such action bo taken it would
go down In history that an extraordinary
session of the Senate, and an extra ses
sion of Congress had failed to do what
President Roosevelt has twice declared in
special messages was an obligation on the
part of the Government to tho Republic
of Cuba.
Tho minority In tho Senate will agree to
a voto on tho Cuban reciprocity bill De-
cember 19, if tho Republicans will agree
to adjourn tho extra session of Congress
. t- j j . rrii , ,
Dy Wednesday. Tnis conclusion was
reached at a caucus of the Democratic
Senators held this afternoon. It was fur
ther agreed that no amendment would be
offered to the bill unless it was first fa
vorably acted upon by the caucus. N
The Democratic Senators decided to con
sider tho Cuban bill on its merits, and
confine the discussion to the bill itself,
without bringing In collateral questions.
This means no tariff amendments will be
offered, and that the tariff question will
not be discussed.
Tho session waa said to be quite har
monious, and the decision reached was
practically unanimous. It was stated
after tho conference that the Democrats
want it understood that in reaching this
agreement they have not abandoned tho
fight on the tariff, but they believe they
can reach the tariff in some other way.
SENATE REFERS THE BILL.
Warm Debate as to the Proper Com
mittee to Consider It.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The Senate
held Its longest sitting of the session to
day, beginning at noon and concluding at
3:13 P. M. Tho entire time was consumed
In debating a motion to refer tho Cuban
reciprocity bill to the committee on for
eign relations. The political line was
sharply drawn In the discussion, tho Re-X

the Democrats contending the measure
should go to the committee on finance.
The motion prevailed without division.
Teller took occasion to correct pub
lished reports that he has hopes of de
feating tho bill, or that he Intends, un
duly, to obstruct its consideration.
Allison and Aldrich announced their
willingness to have the bill go to tho
foreign relations committee, but they
united In an expression of opinion that
such reference should form, no precedent
for the reference of revenue bills in the
future. Mr. Allison also denied thero
was any purpose of revising tho tariff by
reciprocity treaties.
After tho disposition .of tho routine
business, the Cuban bill was taken up,
and a debate ensued on its reference to
the committee.
Mr. Cullom stated It had been tho cus
tom to refer such bills to the committee
on foreign relations.
Bailey said he had no doubt the state
ment was correct, but declared the prac
tice was wrong. Ho said it should be'
referred to tho committee on finances or
relations with Cuba.
Teller thought the bill should go to the
committee on finance. He announced his
Intention to oppose tho bill, but said he
would not carry his opposition to the
extent of seeking delay. Continuing,
j Teller charged that the legislation is in
and taking this fact Into consideration, in
connection with the fact the measure
I has the support of the Chief Executive,
he knew there was little hope of securing
tho defeat of tho bill. He based his op
position to the bill on tho ground that
its enactment into law would be a great
Injury to the beet-sugar Interests.
Aldrich, replying to a question by
Teller.-sald the bill could not be properly
amended, because tho effect of any ma
terial amendment would be to kill the
treaty, and good faith required the ap
proval' of it. Concluding. Aldrich stated
j u to be his opinion that the reciprocity
enactments of thi3 country should bo by
legislation, rather than by treaties.
Allison said ho had no apprehension
that the tariff system of the United States
would be destroyed by an extended system
of reciprocity ftreatles-
Mltchell (Or.) declared ho would vote for
tho bill, but announced his opposition to
tho policy of consulting tho House on
questions of treaty.
Tho bill was then referred to the com
mittee on foreign relations without di
vision, and at 3:15 the Senate adjourned
until Monday.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20. President J.

the greater part of the day in consulta
tion with his attorney, John J. Johnson,
going over the details of the corporation's

Appeals, which Is docketed to bo heard
before the United States Supremo Court.
In connection vith Mr. Hill's visit, tho

"From an authority closo to 'Mr. Hill,
It was learned that on the advice of coun
sel it had been decided to surrender every
right granted under the New Jersey cor
poration law to the itforthern Securities
Company, excepting that of purchasing
such securities as the management may
see fit to obtain from an Investment lew
point. "'.the right to vote the stock In tho
Great Northern, the Northern Pacific and
the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Rail

right of the Securities concern to have
any volco In tho management of thoso
railroads. Tho Securities Company is to
declare before the Federal Supreme Court
that each of those big railroads Is to bo

there Is to be no community of interests

are to be maintained as separate com
panies, and each to have Individual man

under the Securities- Company charter,
which was obtained In New Jersey on No
vember 10h 1S01.

claring the merger void, is honored by
the company, and it merely desires to
hae the Supreme Court pronounce It a
lawful corporation, in that all possible
objections alleged to conflict with the

removed."
