WAITING FOR COLOMBIA.
State Department Making No Move
in Canal Matter.

Washington, June 3.-The state depart

any move in the matter of the Panama
canal negotiations until the Colombian
congress meets, June 20, and has given
some evidence of Its disposition towards
the treaty President Marroquiu. il is
understood. satisfied himself before call
ing the Colombian congress in special seS-
sion that the government would be able
TO command a safe majority upon the
question Of TatinCati0n. i is known that
considerable opposition has developed
ever since the call was issued, but It IS
believed here that the opposition in Co

ranted suspicion of the designs Of the
United States government.
Consul General Malmros of Colon. who
has just reached here on leave of alb
sence. has conveyed the assurance that
the best element in Colombia is coming
around in favor of the treaty and he IS
satisfied that the influence Of this ele-
nlent by means of an educational cam
paign which already has been inaugur-
ated will be sufficient to overcome the
opposition.
