situation concerning the Panama Canal
produced by the refusal Of S'ilor Concha
the Colombian Minister, TO renew the nego-
tiafions for treaty giving the United
States right of way across the I-thmus
has been ended by the Colombian Govern
ment, which has directed Senior Concha TO
Resume his communications on the subject
with the State Department
Sefor Heron, the secretary Of the CO.
lombian legation, called at the State De-
partment to-day and left a note from
Sefior Concha making inquiry as TO when
Secretary Hay would return 10 Washingto on.
The negotiations will be renewed then
and from what is known If the character
of Scior Concha's Instructions il il be-
lieved that the difficulties in the way If con-

been supposed, except a. to the price ask, q

Government will ignore the charges against
Admiral Casey and has promised to take
them up merely 10 plaCate =, nor Concha.
II is learned that the story that Senior
Concha had resigned had for its basis the
fact that about a month ago he placed
his resignation at the disposition of his
Government. The administration at Boz
gotta declined TO accept II and urged Senior
Concha to remain in Washington until the
completion of the Canal treaty negotiations
The reasons given for Senior Conchas
desire TO leave Washington were that his
family is in Colombia and lie is in poor
health He did not again tender his resigna-
ton, and will probably not do so until the
treaty has been signed.
The resignation was rendered before

WASHINGTON, Nov. Sowing to the
pressing demand for more officers on naval
vessels in commission, the Navy Depart
men, has ordered that the academic course

third class. which would ordinarily have
been graduated in June, 1906 will be sent
to sea.
Midshipmen on sea service will perform
the work of watch and division officers
until there has been a sufficient increase
in the commissioned personnel TO justify
a resumption of old conditions.
Under the law governing midShipmen ,
they must serve a. such for six years be-
fore being entitled to whit il called final
graduation, which is conCident with re-
ceiving their commissions as cnsigns
The Navy Department ascertained. how

to prohibit curtailing the present four-years'
course at the Naval Academy, which is

II was determined therefore, TO cut
down the academic period from four years
TO three. and To increase the period of sea
