COLOMBIA AND THE CANAL
NO SERIOUS HITCH IN NEGOTIATIONS
EXPECTED IN WASHINGTON.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNkI
Washington, March 1.-The report from Paris
that the Colombian Government is threatening
to revoke the franchise of the French Panama
Canal Company has created no especial interest
in Washington except in circles that are known
to favor uncompromsingly the Nicaragua route
Even NJ. Eduardo Lampre, secretary general Oh
the French Panama Company, who for seVeral
months has been here promoting the transfer Vi
that property to the United States Government
refuses to become excited over the report from
Paris. To Tribune correspondent NJ. Lampre
said this afternoon.
There is no cause for the Panama Canal
Company to be disturbed by the news you re ~,
to- While the Colombian Governments action
is. of course. something of a surprise ! unuer-
stand that they only wish to remind the com com
pany that its negotiations with the OhlIeu
States should not be closed until the two gov
ernments have finally agreed on the hhes oI
the treaty which at present is being prepareu.
Our company has been acting on the authority
given to it by the Colombian Minister in this
city almost year ago, and there is no reason
to believe that the Panama company VIII nol
promptly to a satisfactory understanding
with the Colombian Government. AS a matter
of fact. the board of directors in Paris has al
ready taken steps to that effect through the
company's representatives at Bogota
In spite of what is said by Senator Morgan
and Representative Hepburn, both of whom are
committed to the Nicaragua proposition. the
best informed opinion in Washington is distinct
ly against the theory that the Colombian Gov
eminent in serving notice on the French share
holders of the Panama company that no trans
fer of that property will be permitted under
the franchise rights and privileges granted TO II
to any other hands. means to deny the right OF
the owners TO make clear title to the canal TO
the United States. Stated in plain English. the
opinion here is strong that the Colombian Gov
eminent merely means to warn the French
owners that it must be duly considered in any
proposition looking to a transfer of the property
and franchise rights. IL is held in Washington
that the ruling spirits at Bogota see an oppor-
tunity in the negotiations for the sale of the
canal to take part in the deal, and do not pro-
pose to let this opportunity for pecuniary gain
for their country pass wholly unutilized.
Further than this, ii is impossible to attribute
any significance to the report from Paris that
there is a serious hitch in the negotiations for
the transfer to the United States OF the French
Panama Canal Company. 1t is pointed out that
the Colombian Government Is directly interested
in pecuniary way in the success of the Panama
Canal scheme, and that in the end that govern
ment will do nothing to prevent the construction
of an isthmian waterway across its territory.

Paris March 1.-The officials of the Panama

Colombia announcing that the company would
not be allowed to transfer its concession to an
other nation without first with the assent of
Colombia, modifying the stipulations of Articles
XXI and XXI Of the companys agreement
with Colombia, and a cable message sent
TO Colombia to-day asking for an explanation.
The hope is expressed that the difficulty will be
arranged, and in the mean time the company
will maintain its offer to sell its property TO the
United States. and will continue negotiations on
the subject. 1t Is not considered probable here
that Colombia will oppose the sale of the canal
property TO the United States. after giving its

confirmation of its approval of the negotiations
