WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-It is ascer-
tanned that on Aug. "a, during Secretary
Hays recent visit to Washington, a
telegraphic message was sent to the minis
ters at Caracas and Bogota. directing them
TO inform the foreign secretaries of Vene-
zuea and Colombia of the distress with
which the President had heard of the like
lihood of a disturbance of the relations
between those republics. Adverting to the
possibility of the influence of the United
States being exerted to compose the pend
ing question the ministers were directed
to say that, while the relations of this gov
ernment with both nations are equally in
innate and friendly, and every opportunity
is taken to show the good will we bear
them, an offer of the Presidents kindly
Office to arrange any differences which may
exist between Colombia and Venezuela
would be ineffective without the acquies-
cence of both. Nevertheless, inspired by
the sentiments which are common to all
the governments of the American repub-
lies, the United States would sincerely de-
plore a breach of the amica5le relations
that at this time happily exist between
the sister nations of the Western world,
and would especially regret any action by
either or them Whlcn might menace the
security of transit across the isthmus or
the neutrality of it's territory, and thereby
constrain the government of the United
States TO consider its responsibilities and
functions under existing treaty engage
ments with Colombia
The text of Mr.. Hays telegram has not
been made public 1t is understood that an
acknowledgment of its receipt has been
made by the Venezuelan government but
it's purport has not been made known, al
though it is said to be friendly in tone, and
while charging invasion by Colombian
forces and referring 10 the temporary sus-
pension of diplomatic intercourse which
has occurred, the way appears to be open
for explanations Venezuela has not de-
cIared war against Colombia.
Colombia, also, it is said tonight, has
made response to the note of Secretary
Hay. While its contents are not oDtainable,
the statement is made that it is conciliatory
in character and expresses an earnest wish
that war with Venezuela may be avoided.
Such a result, it is stated, would be a
cause of genuine regret TO the people of
Colombia Colombia, il is stated, stands
ready to accept the friendly intervention of
the United States to avert war and reposes
full confidence in the latter country.

that an evident violation of Venezuelan
territory by battalions belonging 10 the
regular army of Colombia. commanded by
their own officers. had taken place. and
pearance discipline or formation of these
troops could be observed.
In such state of things the Colombian
minister resolved TO embark for his coun-
try, as he a matter of fact did, on The
18th of the present month. without the

republic should assume for safeguarding

tests before the civilized nations of the
world against the invasion OF any portion
of the national territory by military forces
belonging TO the regular army of Colombia
and against the acts committed by them.
