Thinks the United States Has Been
Endeavoring to Assert Sovereign
ty Over the Isthmus.
RETURN OF CUBAN TREATY

MENT WITH THE ISLAND.
Cubans Of Opinion the United States
Asks Too Much I'm Return for What

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The last CO.
iomoian note respecting the canal treaty
Is believed - be a strong protest against the
action of Americans in the isthmus. and in
some quarters it is thought a serious
mitch is impending. This note was
framed at Bogota Sept 16 last,
date prior to the arrival of Admiral
Casey in isthmian waters and checking of
the passage of troops across the isthmus
by rail- Since that date the admiral has
had several occasions to assert a police
power over the Panama Railroad and in
the harbors at either end. There is reason
to believe these assertions of power,
though, in the view of the State Depart
ment here, exercised strictly within the
limits of the treaty between the United
States and Colombia, by which the former
guarantees freedom of traffic across the
isthmus, is viewed by Colombia with grow
ing apprehension and suspicion. Such an
event as that recorded yesterday, for in
stance. in which Admiral Casey challenged
the papers of the Colombian warship Bo-
gotta, boat acquired in the United States
for use by the Colombian government, is
regarded by the Colombans as a direct as
sertion of United States sovereignty which
Therefore there is reason to believe that
this last Colombian note respecting the
canal treaty. which might in itself have af-
forded the necessary means for a complete
agreement between the two countries will
result in delaying the perfection OF treaty.
prompt answer had been made by the
State Department to the note. It's nature
was not divulgcd, but the presumption is
that it deals almost entirely with Colon
bias representations regarding the sover-
eighty of the isthmus. The State Depart
ment is anxious that a speedy settlement be
reached in order TO facilitate the compile
tion of the Panama canal treaty Mr..
Concha, the Colombian minister, has
ceived ample and specific instructions en-
powering him to proceed in this matter,
which has been retarded only by the con-
troversy which has arisen regarding the
transit Of the isthmus. The State Depart
ment is hopeful of an early adjustment of
| the dispute.

YOKOHAMA, Oct. Is, Via San Francisco,
Oct. 2S.-The efficacy of the measures taken
to stamp out the plague, which was dis
covered in this port on the 9Th instant, is
demonstrated by the fact that up to date
only five cases have occurred. After the
first case had been authenticated a military
Gordon was established around the whole
district involved. When the residents of
that district, several blocks in area, awoke
the next morning they found themselves
walled in by substantial board fence
eight feet high, closely guarded. A price
was set on rats, and up to the present time
some 1000 have been destroyed in the quar-
antine quarter. The government under

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Surgeon Gener-
al O'Reilly has received a report from
Lieut.. w. j. Lyster. Of the medical de-
partment, who is attached to the United
States legation guard at Peking, China, from
which it appears that the American SOL
diers are the only foreigners who have es-
capped the epidemic of cholera up to date.
Although their general health is good, says
Lieutenant Lyster, their surroundings are
not as pleasant as might be desired. They
do not fraternize with the natives, as they
do In the Philippines. and the peculiar con-
ditions prevailing tend to isolate the SOL
diers from the people.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The officials
here find an ample explanation of the ad-
verse decision of King Oscar in the matter
of the Samoan claims IN the statement
that comes from Stockholm. to the effect
that the Kings decision was influenced by
three jurists, one of whom was NJ. Ceder-
kranz, at one time chief justice of Samoa.
1t is stated that while filling that important
post Mr.. Cederkranz came into frequent
collision with Judge Chambers. the Ameri-
can land commissioner, who afterward sue
ceeded Cederkranz as chief justice, and it
is believed that the personal i'll feeling that
followed undoubtedly influenced the advice
given to King Oscar.
