Colombia's Representative at Wash

Offers Free Site for Isthmiaa Canal

Waterway.

Washington, Nov. 29.-That the re-
public of Colombia grant to the United
States all the canal concessions pro-
vided for in the Hay-Herran treaty,
but absolutely free of cost, is the prop
osition which Gen. Rafael Reyes, en-
voy of Colombia to the United States
on a special mission, brings for the
consideration of the officials at Wash
ington. Gen. Reyes arrived Saturday.
He said: You will readily admit the
propriety of my refraining from dis
cussing my mission which is of a con-
fdential character, but of the offers
which Colombia is ready to make de-
sire to say that my energies and those
of my followers will be devoted to the
granting Of the canal concessions to the
United States without the payment of
a cent. Even at this Colombia will be
the gamer"
You can further say" continued the
general, that all Colombia is aflre with
zeal for building of the canal by the
United States and that the unfortunate
political troubles which were the sole
cause of the treaty's death before the
Colombian congress have entirely dis
appeared. We want the canal and /
have come to Washington to see what
the people of the United States are
prepared to accept. I come with in
struction from the president of CO.
lombia direct Feeling is running
high and there is Indignation over the
events on the isthmus. We can and will
put down the rebellion if not interfered
with from the outside. So tense is the
feeling and so national the spirit of
determination to bring the isthmus
back into the republic that President
Marroquin will have no trouble in
raising an army twice the size necessa-
ry to put down the disturbance. Such
an army can march overland to the
-isthmus, the opinion of ill-advised per-
sons to the contrary Notwithstanding"
