but there was no outbreak. Gen Reyes

lombian troops on the Panama rail-
road, General salazar has entertained
bitter dislike for the people OF the
United States. At that time he cabled
through the Associated Press a sensa-
ton protest to the world against the
action OF Admiral Casey.
General Salazar Is most influential
among the younger element OF the
Colomblans. He is courageous and
energetic, but OF a QuIxotic nature,
and probably believes that his state
ment that an army OF 100000 is being
organized will stun the people Of the

ton, says:
The Panamaians alone do not fear
the ColOmbians, but they fear them
less now that they are assured of the
aid OF their Yankee brothers"
It Is believed here that any organiza-

Strong opposition has developed in
the House to an adjournment of the
special session prior to the passage
of the bill to make the Cuban treaty
effective. Leaders of the House base
their opposition to the programme
suggested on the ground that a spe-
cial session having been convened
by the President for a specific pur.
pose, it would not be courteous to
adjourn the session until action is
had, and also contend that speedy
legislation is needed in order to
accomplish the purpose for which
Congress was called together

ting of the session Friday, beginning
at noon and concluding at 3:15 p,

in debating a motion to refer the
