REMoNSTRANCE FROM COLOMBIA
WASHINGTON. October 1o.-The Co
lo1nbian Government, on complaint of
General Salaar. in command of its forces
on the isthmus, has demonstrated with
the United States Minister at Bogota,
respecting Admiral Casey's reported re-
fusaI to allow troops and munitions of
war to cross the isthmus. The Colombian
Government said it did not see how it
could suppress the rebellion, if it were not
allowed to move troops freely in its own
territory.
The Colombian Government has been
assured, in a courteous manner. that the
United States Government has no intention
of intrenching on Colombian sovereignty,
which it has guarant by special treaty
provision. Admiral Casey was informed
that what he had done was still approved,
but was reminded that he must avoid any
infringement of Colombian sovereignty,
unless he was positively obliged to do so
to protect the railroad.
