THE COLOMBIAN TREATY.
Last Note Not Yet Delivered and "a
Serious Hitch Is Feared.

Serious Hitch Is Feared.
Washington. Oct. 2S-The last CO.
lombian. note, respecting the canal
treaty which arrived in Washington
several days ago, has not yet been de-
livered to the State Department and
there is some reason to fear that a
serious hitch is impending. This note
was framed at Bogota Sept. 16, last,
a date prior to the arrival of Admiral
Casey in isthmian waters and his
checking of the massage of troops
across the isthmus byVrail Since that
date the admiral has had several oc-
casions to assert a police power over
the Panama railroad and in the har-
bors at either end. There is reason to
believe that these assertions of power,
though in the view of the State De-
partment here exercised strictly with
in the limits of the treaty between the
United States and Colombia by which
the former guarantees freedom of traf-
fic across the isthmus, is viewed by Co.
lombia with growing apprehension and
suspicion. Such an event as that re-
corded yesterday, for instance. in which
Admiral Casey challenged the papers
of the Colombian warship Bogota, a
boat acquired in the United States for
use by the colombian government, is
regarded by the Colombians as a di-
rect assertion of United States SOW
ereignty which they cannot allow to go
without protest. Therefore, there is
reason to believe that this last Colom-
bian note respecting the canal treaty,
which might in itself have afforded
the necessary means for a complete
agreement between the two countries,
is being delayed in presentation in or
der that the Colombian government at
Bogota may have an opportunity to
qualify it or even withhold it entirely
in view of the recent events which have
been so distasteful to them.

TAGEBLATT'S STATEMENT.
German Newspaper Discusses Film
siness of international Treaty.

German Newspaper Discusses Finn.
siness of international Treaty.
Berlin, Oct. 2S.-What purports to be
the statement of a person identified
with the ministry, probably Home Sec
rotary Posadowsky, appears in the
Tageblatt to-day. The statement, aft
er affirming that the government in
tends to firmly keep it's present posi-
ton, discusses tariff possibilities in
connection with commercial treaties
as follows:
ut is an error to assume that trea-
ties continue in force tacitly, if not
denounced, for although their continu-
arce may be advantageous for foreign
states, the latter may be placed in a
situation where they are compelled to
denounce them. For example, if pres
sure was brought to bear upon Russia
by third Power, like the United
States, Russia would abandon her
treaty with Germany. Suppose Rus
STA was to try to raise her next great
loan in the United States? Wash
ington might demand disruption of
the Russian trade agreement with Ger
many and that Russia give tariff pref
erence to goods of American origin,
especially against the United States
chief mpetitor-Germany This
would directly compel Russia to de-
nounce her German treaty. One link
in the commercial treaties broken, the
whole system will fall to the ground"
In the course of the debate in the
Reichstag to-day on the cattle and
meat duties, Secretary Posadowsky
made a lengthy speech in which he
urged the parties forming the majority
to desist from excessive demands
which could not be realized. He said
the government had gone as far as it
could. If the tariff bill was wrecked
no minister would venture for a long
time ito steer the customs cutter any
where near dangerous rocks"

PALMA DOES NOT APPROVE.
inStOn Draft of Reciprocity
Treaty.

instOn Draft of Reciprocity
Treaty.
Washington. Oct. 2S.-The fact
recorded in the news dispatches from
Havana that President Palma has re-
turned to Washington the draft of The
reciprocity treaty without his approval
has not shaken the belief of the Off
Gals here that they viii have>a treaty
ready to submit to Congress by the
date of its next meeting. The propo-
sition submitted by the State Depart
ment was in no sense an ultimatum.
and the matter is still open to adjust
ment. Generally stated, the Cubans'
objections are based on a belief that
the United States has demanded undue
concessions i'm the remissions of duties
on United States products entering
Cuba, ranging all the way from 10 per
cent. to so per cent. i'm return for a 20
per cent. cut in CUBAN sugar and to-
bacco coming into the United States.
AS the difference is one strictly of fig
ures and not of principle, it is be-
lieVed at the State Department that it
can be settled amicably.
There has been an important change
in the programme respecting the whole
fabric of Cuban treaties. 1t had been
originally intended TO perfect a reci-
procity treaty before undertaking to
deal with other relations that must be
defined by treaty. AS it is now seen
that the subject of reciprocity is one
that will require considerable time for
its disposition, the government here is
| about to undertake negotiations look
ing to the arrangement of an extradi-
ton treaty, which is very much need
ed, inasmuch as Cuba threatens to be-
come a sinkhole for American crimi-
| nails. The navy is pressing for the
coaling stations promised under the
| terms of the Plat amendment, and the
| Cuban government will be at once in
vited to open negotiations on this point
Sites for coaling stations were Sc
lected tentatively many months ago by
| Admiral Bradford, chief of the equip
ment bureau, but of the four points
| selected, one, Havana harbor, has been
abandoned from regard to Cuban SEN
| sibility. 1t is not likely that further
| sacrifices of that kind will be made,
| and the other three points, namely,
| Nipe, on the north coast, and Cienfue-
gos and Guantanamo, on the south
coast of the Island, will be chosen as
permanent locations.

Volcanic Disturbances Less Terribly
ing to the Mexicans.
City of Mexico. Oct. 28.--The latest
news from the southern part of the
republic is that the people are less
alarmed over a shower of ashes than
at first. In some places rain has clear
ed the atmosphere. Subterranean
noises are heard at Tuxtla. Gutierrez,
and this phenomenon appears to be
general in the district where ashes fell.
There were up to Saturday forty-five
distinct shocks of earthquake at San
Cristobal. Palenque advices are that
no change can be observed from there
in the shape of San Juan mountain,
but loud and prolonged explosions are
frequently heard. Ashes fell all day
yesterday. Scientific men in Tabasca
say that the force required to precipi-
tate such an immense quantity of
ashes over so extensive a territory
would be equal to 100000 horsepower.
The Indians say that the mountain
Huistepec is in eruption, but this is
not confirmed.

there is no fear of starvation. AS to

MIA. They are going from village to
village among their own people, and
it is said that they are likely to ar
range to meet in some central place,
probably at Yorkton, to decide upon
what they are going to do.
The Dukhobors believe it to be a sin
to hold domestic animals in restraint,
and they have therefore turned their
cattle and horses loose upon the prai-
RE. They will not wear leather shoes
or any clothing produced from animals,
and the men and women have been
yoking themselves to the pillow and
wagon. A large number of the horses
and cattle have been seized by the
government and sold at public auc-
ton. The amount realized, about $780,
900, will be used to take care Of the
fanatics when the winter sets in.
