AN ULTlMATUM TO COLOMBIA.
TWILL he SENT THROUGHC CANAL
COMPANI,S AGENTS.
They VIII Inform the Colombian Govern.
ment That the United States win Never
Pay More Than $4,000, 900 for the
Right OF Way Across the Isthmus.

WASHINGTON, June l3.--The strong prob
; ability that the Colombian Congress, at
the special session which is to meet on the
2Oth OF this month, will fail to ratfy the
Panama Canal treaty, causes President
Roosevelt deep concern. He sent for
William Nelson Cromwell the American
representative of the new Panama Canal
Company of France, to day and with him
discussed the canal situation in view of
the recent advices from Bogota that the
opponents of ratification seem likely to
defeat the treaty.
Tile President takes the view that the
Government of Colombia has no right to
reject the pending treaty, but that dis
tinct obligation rests upon it to ratify it.
Precisely why he holds that such an obi
CATION exists is not explained. but the con-
tention is supposed to rest on the fact that
the Colombian Government entered into an
agreement with the United States to give
up certain territory as an inducement to
the selection of the Panama route.
This Government. however, is conscious
OF the impracticablity of making direct
representations to Co omba with the object
OF coercing the Congress of that country
into ratification Of the canal treaty. 1t is
hoped that the same end may be accom-
plshed in another way, and this was the
object of the conference to-day between
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Cromwell.
The French company has agents in Colom-
bia who are in close touch with the situa-
ton and who are in a position to convey
in a sort of semi-official way the views
and wishes Of the Washington administra-
ton in regard to the canal.
1t Is expected that Mr.. Cromwell will
apprise the leaders Of the Colombian Gov
eminent, through the French company's
agents at Bogota, OF President Roosevelt's
feeling in regard to the treaty. 1t will be
set forth that the United States will never
consent to pay larger price or the canal
right of way, and that the President and
the State Department insist that there
is an obligation on the part Of Colombia
not to reject treaty which incorporates
promises made by Colombia to this Govern
ment before the selection OF the Panama
route.
The Colombian Government will also
be reminded that the United States will,
in the event of rejection of the treaty, never
allow any other nation or individuals to
dig a waterway across the Isthmus of
Ianama ana tnat u " Wnoliy question OF
whether Colombia shall get $40 100000 or
get nothing.
Inasmuch as the French Canal Company
has everything at stake in the pending
treaty, it is believed that the representa-
Gves OF that company in Bogota will mako
President Roosevet's attitude known TO
the leaders of the Colombian Congress in
an emphatic way. 1t is hoped that their
representations will have the same effect
as an official expression through the State
Department so far as the ratification Of
the treaty. is concerned
