Colon, Nov. 29.-The terms of the sur render of Colon--the surrender taking place to-day at noon--were agreed up on at yesterdays conference held on board the United States gunboat Mari etta, at which the commanding officers of the Marietta, of the British cruiser Tribune and of the French cruiser Su- chet, Lieutenant Commander McCrea of the Machias, Captain Perry, of the Iowa, Generals Alban and Jeffries, rep resenting the government of Colombia and Senor De La Rosa, who represented the liberal party, were present. The terms in brief are as follows:
 Senor De La Rosa agreed to surren- der the liberal soldiers now at Colon, with their arms, to Captain Perry at noon to-day; Captain Perry in his turn agreed to hand over these men and their arms later in the day to General Alban, who in his turn guaranteed life and lib erty to all men recently in arms against the conservative government of Colom- bia. The surrender of arms was to be bona fide in every respect.
 At H. 80 this morning large number of marines and bluejackets from the Iowa, the Marietta and the Machias landed at Colon and proceeded to the barracks. Here the arms belonging to the liberal soldiers were taken over by the marines in the presence of Captain Perry the commanders of the warships above mentioned, the American, Brit ish and French consuls at Colon and a large concourse of people who sympa- thized with the liberals in their surren- der.
 The liberal guard patrolling Colon this morning appeared sad and down. cast. Their behavior, however, has all along been most praiseworthy and it is not at all an exaggeration to say that they have gained the respect of very large portion of the community, and es- pecially of the foreign elements, during their short administration of Colon.
 Later in the day General Alban, ac- companied by officials of the conserva- tive government of Colombia, arrived here from Panama and Senor De La Rosa, representing General Domingo Diaz whose secretary he is, surrendered himself and the liberal troops to the conservative general in the presence of Captain Perry and the naval and con- sular officers above mentioned.
 For years past the harbor of Colon has not been so crowded as 1t is to-day. Five men-of-war and several German Italian and British merchant and pas senger steamers, as we'll as other yes sels, are in port. The men-of- war are moored to the wharves. The only flag bedecked ship in the harbor is the Co., lombian conservative gunboat General | Pinzon. When General Alban received l the surrender of the liberals the Pinzon 1 blew series of noisy, quick and irreg | uar notes from her foghorn, indicative | of her joy at the proceedings. She is now lying quite close to the docks. | General Alban is on board. The majority of the American marines and blueiackets have returned to their The Suchet has landed a de- tachment of marines on the property of the French Canal company Ameri- can marines are still guarding the piers and the railroad station.
 Over 200 men entered the city with General Alban. De La Rosa, on hand ing Alban his sword, said:
 T accept the conditions of the treaty to safeguard the lives and liberty of my soldiers in Colon. As for my broth ar and myself, we personally decline to accept the conditions of this treaty"
