Sale OI Danish West indies
Report From Copenhagen That
Treaty VIII Be Signed This
Week In United States

Special Cablegram to Boletin Mercantil
Copenhagen, December 1etb. =
A full agreement has been reached
between Denmark and the United
IS att s for the sale of the Danish
West Indies. Thet reaty will prob.
ably be signed this week at Wash
ington. The price fixed is between
100000 and 100000.
TIE question Of free trade and
citizenship will be decided by Con-
gross, which, it is believed here,
will grant these concessions.
The negotiations have, from the
first, aroused the keenest interest
throughout Denmark. Public meet
ings bave been held. and remons-
frances have sent to the government
and Rigsdag. One of the remon-
strances was signed by one hundred
of the most prominent public ard
private men in the country. The
press, including the leading daily
papers, have all been against the
sale, either by silence or open oppo
sition. Petitions have also been
received by the King and Ministry
from the inhabitants OF the islands
Many large business houses and
shipping interests have offered 10
contribute TO the betterment OF the
islands condit' ons if the sale is avert
ed.
The King and The royal family
were, at heart, opposed to parting
| with the possessions, and the Danish
royal family is related to the leading
Imperial and 70 al houses of Euro
I pc, all of which exerted personal
and political Influence against their
transfer to the United States The
fact that three successive Ministers
Of Foreign Affairs, all Of whom were
Ioyposed TO the sale, have lad a
hand in the negotiations, accounts
for the length of time consumed.

In a interview had with Ensign w. 8.
Miller of the gunboat Mackias the Ensign
stated in discussing the situation at Colon,
and the Colombian revolution, that the night
before the American sailors and marines
we're landed firing had been heard all along
the line Of the road, and 1t was deemed ad-
visable by the commander of the Machias to
land his men to protect the railroad pro-
perty. Ga landing it was found that Gen.
eral Alban was starting from Panama strik-
ing northward along the line Of the railway
and driving the rebels before him. Men
we're landed from the Machias ard tle
Mariette at Colon and the Iowa which was
at Panama also landed men. The trains
which we're run through were all guarded by
men from the various vessles, and in no
case excepting once and that BY mistake
were the trains fred upon.
Ensign Miller stated that when the
Machias left peace had been restored all
along the railway. The general impression
amongst the foreign officers at Colon was
that While the rebels we're in greater numbers
that they were very badly officered and dis
ciplined, and that General Alban had no
trouble whatsoever in driving them 10 front
Of his column. With the American vessels
at Colon were the French gunboat Suchet
and the British cruiser Tribune, and the
