THE PANAMA CANAL.
Resolution TO Pave The way for n Joint
Guarantee of Neutrality.

PANAMA March l7.--Rssolutions have been
submitted in the Colombia congress calling
upon the executive to give notice to the United
States of the intention Of the government Of
Colombia to Withdraw from the stipulations
and obligations of the treaty OF December
II, 1876, between the two countries. 1t also
authorizes the executive to enter into new
treaties with the United States and the
Span;sh-American republics of the CONT
nent with view OF conciliating, if possible,
all the legitimate interests concerned in the
free transit OF the IsthuIus of Panama, and
more particularly with regard to the inter
oceanic canal enterprise. Article 80 of
the treaty of 1876 is particularly con-
demned vague and not easy OF interpre
tation, and likely to bring about discord
between the contracting parties. The in
tention of the resolution is supposed to be to
pave the way for joint guarantee of neu-
Irality between the republics OF the New and
the commercial nations Of the Old World in
behalf Of the Panama canal.
