Newspaper Page Text2 THE MORNING OBEGONIAJfr TUESDAY, JANTJABY 19, 1901, Hay Replies to the Note of Colombia. AMERICA NOT UNFRIENDLY Panama Recognized When Independence Was Certain. NO OTHER POLICY TO ASSUME Proposition to Refer the Matter to The Hague Court Has No Legal Standing-Charges of General Reyes Are Bold. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. President Roosevelt transmitted to the Senate today additional correspondence touching the relations of the United States with Co lombia and Panama, covering the period from December 23, 1903, to January 6 last A statement of grievances on the part of Colombia was presented to the State De partment by General Reyes on December 23. General Reyes says the course of the "United States had worked deep injury to Colombia, and he cited the treaty of 1S48 as showing that the independence and sovereignty of Colombia was to be main tained intact by the two governments. General Reyes said, with reference to the Hay-Herran treaty, that the same course that was followed in Bogota was pursued in Washington. If the treaty, he eald, had been rejected In Washington, the disapproval would have involved no grievance for Colombia and that the Co lombian Congress In Its disapproval of the treaty simply exercised a vested right. This action, he maintained, did not dis qualify the Colombian government from tho qualification of another treaty. In speaking of the action of the Colombian Congress In its efforts to amend the treaty. General Reyes says: "I nrmly believe that it would have approved the amendments that would probably have been acceptable to tho United States had not the American Minister to Bogota repeatedly declared, in the most positive manner, that his Gov ernment would reject any amendments that nyght be offered. Independence of Panama. As to the Independence of the Republic of Panama, General Reyes says It Is a matter of public knowledge that the mother country commands sufficient forces to ecbdue a revolution. General Reyes con tinwea: "Before the coup de main, which pro- linoa tho independence of the Isthmus, to51ryf8.ee at Panama, there vrere In this rery city ageritsof the authors of that coup In conference with high personages clothed with official character, as is as serted by reputable American newspapers. I have received Information to the effect that a bank In New York opened a consid erable credit in their favor with a knowl edge of the general use for which It was Intended, even though unaware that it was to be applied in part to the bribery of a Irage part of the garrison at Pan ama." General Reyes says that Panama has become Independent because tho Govern ment of the United States desired It; be cause with its incomparably superior force, tho United States prevented the landing of Colombian troops; because even before the separatist movement was known in Bogota the United States had Its "war vessels at the entrance of Colombian ports preventing the departure of Colom bian battalions; "because, without regard to the precedent established by statesmen who have dealt with, this matter, tho United States has not respected our rights In that strip of land which Colombia con siders, as a divine bequest for tho inno cent use of the American family of states and, finally, because the Government "of the United States, Invoking and putting Into practice the right of might has taken from us by bloodless conquest, but by conquest nevertheless, the most Important part of the national territory-" Answer of Hay. Secretary Hay answered this note under date of January 5. Ho says the Govern ment has carefully considered the grave complaints mado and assures General ReyOs of our most friendly sentiments for the government .and people of Colombia. The question submitted, he says, can be considered only In tho light of accom plished facts, of which one Is that the Re public of Panama has become a member of the family of nations. "The Department has road with sur prise," Mr. Hay comments, "your repeti tion of gross imputations upon tho con duct and motives of this Government, which are said to have appeared in re putable American newspapers." Mr. Hay reviews in detail, first, the ne cessity of a waterway connecting the two oceahs and, secondly, all the legislative and diplomatic procedure which has taken place to securta that end. Secretary Hay says tho Unltod States hart faithfully borne during the long pe riod slnco tho treats' of 1S46 was completed the full burden of Its responsibilities. "Meanwhile," he continues, "the great de sign of the" treaty of 1S4S remained unful filled, and in the end It became appar ent, as heretofore has been shown, that It could not bo fulfilled only by the con struction of a canal by the Government of tho United States. By reason' of the action of the government at Bogota In repudiating the Hay-Herran conent!on and of the views and intentions disclosed In -connection with that repudiation, the Government was confronted, when the revolution at Panama took place, with the alternative of either abandoning .the chief benefit which It expected and which it was entitled to dorlve from the treaty of lS4Sr of resorting to measures the necessity of which it could contemplate only with regret. Situation Confronting America. "By the declaration of independence of tho Republic of Panama a new situation was created.

The isth mus was threatened with desolation by another civil war. Nor were the rights and Interests of the United States alone at stake. The Interests of the whole civilized world were Involved. The Re public of Panama stood for these inter ests, the Colombian government opposed them. Compelled to choose between these two alternatives, tho Government of the Unltod States, in no wise responsible for the situation that had arisen, did not hes itate. It recognized tho independence of the Republic of Panama, and upon Its judgment and action in the emergency the powers of the world have set the seal- of their approval." Under all the cir cumstances, says the Secretary, the De partment is unable to regard the com plaints of Panama against this Govern ment as having any valid foundation. Secretary Hay says: "The Government of the United States would gladly exercise Its good offices with the Republic of Panama with a view to bringing about some arrangement on a fair and equitable basis. For the ac ceptance of your proposal to a resort to The Hague tribunal, this Government perceives no occasion. Indeed, the ques tions presented in your statement of grievances are of a political nature, such as nations even of the most advanced ideas as to International arbitration have not proposed to deal with by that pro cess." Reyes Submits Another Note. Under date of January 6, General Reyes submits anothor note to Secretary Hay, In which he says he has transmitted Sec retary Hay's answer to his statement of grievances to his government by cable. The Secretary's noto is -construed, he says, as an intimation that the Colom bian forces will be attacked by the United States on their entering the territory of Panama to subduo the rebellion, and for that reason it would hold the Government of the United States for all damages to it by the loss of that national territory. A repetition is made of the position of the Colombian government under the treaty of 1S46, and it is requested that the first note of General Reyes be made public. Replying to this on January 9, Secre tary Hay says he finds almost all- the propositions brought forward in the sec ond note have been considered -and fully answered in his note of the 5th of Janu ary. Ho says, however: "I will not for a moment accept the Imputation of unfriendly motives or sen timents on the part of this country to ward Colombia, and even if Colombia should persist in assuming a hostile at titude toward us, it will only be after the most careful deliberation, and with extreme reluctance, that this Government would shape its course in accordance with the deplorable conditions thus created.'
