United States and the Republic of Colombia, as
to the future political management Of the ship
canal at the Isthmus of Panama. The Execu-
tive of the Colombian Republic IS disposed to
concede all. or more than ell, that was claimed for
the United States as the right Of the stronger
in President Garfield's Message to Congress.
But the Legislature and people are not prepared
to follow the lead of the Government. Follow
ing are the latest kilograms on the subject

Via and lIr. Evarts in New York. 1t Is said
TO cede 20 the United States privileges which are
unacceptable 20 the Colombian Congress, IN the
matter Of building forts, the establishing Of
naval stations ON the Isthmus, and the passage
Of American ships of war through the canal,
etc. 1t seems that the President IS disposed to
make many concessions TO the United States,
and yield to American influence IN the matter
OF the canal. in q way quite eXasperatiug 70 the
majority IN Congress, who are decided partisans
Of De Lesseps.

the isthmus places appropriate for fOrts,arsenals-
cOallng depOtS, ana nhNat stoIehouses- III III
Of Deace there shall be no American military
force on the isthmus beyond that indispensable
for the preservation of such forts, arsenals, etc.
In case the neutrality of the canals should be
threatened. the United States are authorized 20
take military occupation OF the Isthmus, and
Colombia will be obliged to cooperate. Ships
~ var and military expeditions Of all other ma
tons. except the United States, will have no
right 10 pass through the canal in time OF peace:
nevertheless. the two nations may, by mutual
understanding. permit the innocent use OF the
highway to such ships and expeditions Colon
bia undertakes not to enter into negotiations
concerning the canal, or alter the rules and reg
NATIONS governing 1t, without previous accord
with the United States.
