Message of the Colombian Pres
ideRt to His Congress.

Washington. June 27.-The state de-
partment has received from Minister
Beaure at BOgota cablegram convey
ing the information that the extra ses-
sion OF congress convened for the con
sideration of the canal treaty, June 20.
Joaquin Nelez is president of the senate
and Jose Medina Caldron. president of
the chamber of deputies The following
appears in the message of the president,
respecting the canal conventions
ITO my government has been pre-
sented this dilemma: Either let our
sovereignty suffer detriment or renOunce
certain pecuniary advantages to which,
according TO the opinion of many. we
have right. In the first case to con-
sent to the sacrifice of our sovereignty,
and not aspiring to a great indemnifica-
ton, the Just wishes OF the inha bftants
of Panama large portion of Colombia
would be satisfied if the canal were
opened, but the government would be
exposed to the charge afterwards. that
it did not defend our sovereignty and
that it did not defend the interests of
the nation. In the second case if the
canal is not opened by Panama the
government viii be accused of not haV-
ing allowed Colombia that benefit
which is regarded as commencement Of
our aggTandizement. l have already al
lowed my wish to be understood. that
the canal should be opened through our
territory. I believe that even at such
obstacles to such a grand undertaking,
because it is an immensely beneficial
enterprise for the country and also be-
cause once the canal is opened by the
United States. our relations will become
intimate and extensive while our in
dustry, commerce and wealth Will gain
incalculably. I leave the full resopnsi-
bility for the decision of this matter-at
first for congress. I do not intend to
make my opinion weigh when I have
given instructions to our representa-
tives al Washington; it has been coupled
with the order that the decision of this
important matter must be left for con
gress. After years in which the ques-
ton has been treated in a vague way
without precise conditions it is now pre-
sented in a way TO obtain practical and
positive results. 1t has been our indis-
putable triumph that the senate and
government of the United States should
declare notwithstanding every effort to
the contrary. the superiority of the Col
