SosonAoAa Ae1ects Canal treaty.
A cablegrsm dated August " has
been received at the state department
from Minister Beaupre at Bogota, say
Ing that the Panama canal treaty has
been rejected unanimously by the
Colombian senate.
President Roosevelt was immediate
~ advised of the news.
Very little additional information
concerning the action OF the Coiom-
bian senate could be obtained AT the
state department. The information In
tile cab.egram was meager and there
was no intimation whether the treaty
might not again be brought up for con-
sideratiOn.
Section 4 OF the Isthmian canal act
provides that should the president be
unable TO obtain a satisfactory title 10
the property OF the new Panama Canal
Company and control of the necessary
territory and the rights necessary TO
the construction of the canal from
the republic OF Colombia, he shall
make the necessary treaties with Costa
RIGA and Nicaragua and proceed with
the construction of canal by the
Nicaraguan route.
1t will be impossible for President
Marroquin TO again submit the treaty
to the Colombian congress in its pres
ent form. The senate having rejected
IL. the treaty cannot again come be-
fore that body except by the senate's
own vote. President Marroquin, how
ever can send the treaty slightly
amended 10 the senate and reopen the
canal debate. 1t is believed at the Co
lumbar legation that President Mario
quin will adopt some such procedure.
