NOW WANTS BIG MONEY
Long Expected Response of the
Colombian Government to
Canal Proposition.

Washington, Oct 1.-THE long expected
response of the Colombian government 10
the proposition made by the state de-
partment for the negotiation for a canal
treaty on the lines OF the SpoOner act
has reached Washington and was pre-
scented 10 the state department today by
Mr.. Herran, secretary OF the Colombian
legation. IL Is difficult TO learn the eX-
act nature OF this communication. but il
is known that il is not altogether an I'M
qualified acceptance of the state de-
partments propositions Ii Is, however,
friendly and dignified In tone and does
not close the negotiations by any means,
though IL unquestionably sets back the
date OF final agreement by opening up
new topics for argument
For one thing, the Colombian govern
ment is now entirely dissatisfied with
the small amount of the payment 10 be
the terms of the protocol, which II is
proposed 10 use as the basis for the
treaty. This sum IS 100000. Colombia
wants at least S0.000,OO0 Moreover. the
original proposal looked 10 a wait for
fourteen years before beginning the pay
ment of annual rental, the amount of
which was TO be fixed by mutual agree
ment Colombia now asks the United
yearly payment OF $4,000, which will
largely increase the immediate cost of the
enterprise

Is the feeling aroused in Colombia by the
actions of American naval Officers dur
ing the revolutionary movements there
These are declared to have been bitterly
resented In Bogota, where IL was felt the
American officers had exceeded their au-
thority In interfering with the transpOr-
tation OF Colombian soldiers across the
isthmus railroad, a right the Colombian
officials have asserted IS guaranteed them
by treaty. The controversy growing out
OF the attitude of these officers was
taken up by the Colombian state depart
ment with United States Minister Hart at
Bogota. and so far as known. has not
yet been definitely settled. The question
at issue touches the question of sOver-
eighty and has an important bearing on
the pending subject The Colombian le-
cation officials decline TO discuss this
latest response made by Colombia, but
the opinion prevails that included with
in its scope are some representations re-
speeding or growing out OF recent events
on the isthmus.
