Sofia, Sept. 1.— The Dnevnik pub­

The

The

The latter district has

DRAFT NEW CANAL TREATY.
Senators Make Many Changes
la Panama Measure.
Colon, Colombia, Sept. 1.— In the
issue of the Oorrero Nscional of Bogota»
o f Atajgsut 8, it iswtated that tfib ma­
jority of the senate’ committee cn the
Panama canal treaty recommended the
following, among other amendmenat:
“ Ibat the French company most
first obtain Colombia’ s permission to
transfer its rights, privileges and con-
ceaeions to the United States; that only
the zone necessary for the construction
of the canal could be given to the
United States" (this wonld exclude
the cities of Panama and C olon );
“ that all the waters required for the
canal be plaeed at the dispoael of the
United States, but not made their ex­
clusive property; that no mixed trib­
unals be allowed; that the United
8tates lawe be inoperative at Panama,
and that a fixed time be given to com­
plete the canal, falling which the con­
cession would revert to Colom bia."
It ie learned here that prominent
politicians are endeavoring to induce
congress to issue e law of authorizations
to the president, which would specify
that Colombia agrees on principle to
negotiate with the United States, and
that a new canal treaty be made by a
plural committee, in which all political
parties would be represented.

been shot at, he had not even been in­
jured. This information came to the
state department tonight in a dispatch
from United States Minister Lei ah man.
at Constantinople, who said the mis­
take in making the original announce­
ment was due to an error in the trans­
mission of the cipher dispatch from
Consul Raven gal, at Beirut, in report­
ing the incident to tbe minister.
The dispatch from Minister Lelsb-
man followed closely on the Associated
Press bulletin on the earne subject,
which had been showed to tne promi­
nent officials of the government.
The dispatch from the minister was
communicated at once to the president
at Oyeter Bay, bat up to a late hour to­
night nothing had been beard from
him on the subject at the state depart­
ment. From other sources, however,
it wee learned that the president had
decided to have Admiral Cotton and
hie ships continue to Turkish waters.
