the representative here Of the republic of
Colombia, expects TO be authorized by his
government 10 present claim against the
United States for damages sustained by
Colombia by reason Of President Harri-
sons proclamation of tariff retaliation.
Secretary Blaine effected reciprocity
treaties with most Of the South and Cen
tral American republics. but Colombia and
a few other countries refused TO make
such treaties They were warned that II
they held out against reciprocity they
would be retaliated against.
This failed TO effect any arrangement
Thereupon. at the suggestion Of Secretary
OF State John w Foster. who had succeed
ed Mr.. Blaine President Harrison pro-
claimed discriminating tsrin rates against
the coffee. hides. sugar and molaSses of
Colombia. This practically ruined the
trade of Colombia. as her coffeee and hides
could not be sent TO this country against
the competition OF Brazil. Mexico and
other countries which enjoyed freedom
from duties under the reciprocity treaties.
These exports TO the United States reach
ed about $500 as1 pesos. "A peso being worth
about Is cents. but Immediately after the
proclamation they fell to almost nothing.
Colombia protested against the retalia-
fion claiming that the most favored ma
tion clause of the treaty with the United
States protected her against the tariff dis
elimination. Secretary Foster and the
Colombian minister. Senior Hurtado, car
ried on a sharp and very personal corre-
spondence. and the minister finally left
Washington City with the statement that
he would not return until settlement was
effected No settlement was ever made,
and the submission OF Colombia's claim
for loss and damage sustained Will be the
