Washington, Oct. 29. Tho long ex
pected response of the Colombian gov
ernment to tbe proposition made by the
state department for tho negotiation
for a canal treaty on tbo lines of tho
Spooner act has reached Washington,
and waa presented to tbe state depart
ment by Mr. Her ran, secretary of tbo
Colombian legation. It 1 difficult to
learn tbe exact nature of this commun
ication, but it is known that it ia not
altogether an unqualified acceptance of
the stat) department proposition. It
is. however, friendly and dignified in
tone, and does not close the negotia
tions by any mean, though it unques
tionably acta back the date of final
agreement by opening op new topics
for argument.
For one thing, the Colombian govern
ment is now entirely dissatisfied with
the small amount of the payment to bo
made to it by tbe United Statee under
tbo terms of the protocol, which it ia
proposed to use aa the basis for the
treaty. Thia sum is $7,000,000.
Colombia wants at least $10,000,000.
Moreover, tbe original proposal looked
to await 14 yeara before beginning the
payment of annual rental, tbe amount
of which waa to be fixed then by mut
ual agreement. Colombia now ask tbe
Coiled States to agree at :nce upon a
lump yearly payment of (600,000,
which will largely increase tho imme
diate cost of the enterprise. Tbe
Colombian government clings to its
contention that it baa no const ituiional
authority to alienate any Colombian
territory, and reiterate that tbo beet it
can do to meet tbe language of tbe
