WAsHINGTON,S September 1.-THE State
Department. today received a routine
message from Mr.. Benupre, the Ameri-
can consul at Bogota, acknowledging
the receipt Of secretary Hays cablegram
OF August 26th, stating that the WASH
ington government would enter into no
engagement which would hamper the
Presidents freedom of,action under the
law. This was all that the cablegram
stated, though 1t had been the basis for
speculative reports about Mr. Beaupres
ideas Of the Bogota situation. 3
,rhe State Departments attitude Is one
OF dignlfied patience. No indication of
It's course ofyuction In the event that the
Colombian Congress rejects or amendS
the treaty will be Forthcoming until tho
time for tho exchange Of Publications
expires September 22d 3
It is known at the Department that the
Colombian Congress already Is regrctting
It's hasty action, in rejecting the treaty.
but the State Department will suggest no
remedy for tn emistake. Once and for all
the State Department has announced that
the treaty as approved by the Wash
jngton government was ratified BY the
A American Senate. The Bogota govern
ment must ratlfy that identical treaty
4 II Colombia desires an Is hmian canal.
The State Depar tment regards all re-
ports as to the connection Of this govern
1nent or even its interests with the unrest
on the Isthmus as too trivial for con-
isideraton. tHerran, the Colombian
charge, Indignantly scouts the idea that
the United States would lend itself to the
announcement of this unrest. s5

STRUGGLE FOR LANDS.
An Appeal Involving 100000 Acres
Is Made.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 25.-Attorneys
Dick T. Morgan and Harvey w. Fogg,
have carried an appeal to Secretary
Hitchcock in re-application of the
plaintiff to enter a section of land in
which $50 homesteaders are interested
and about 100000 acres in the Kicla-
poo reservati- II is involved.
The facts are briefly:
On July 2, 1894, D. A Harvey was
made agent of the board for leasing
school lands to select 10000 acres of
the surplus lands in the Kickapoo reser-
walton as indemnity school lands. He
made the selection prior to the opening
of the lands for settlement at noon on
May % 1895. However, at noon prac-
tically all the lands selected by ME-.
Harvey were settled upon and claimed
by homesteaders under the homestead
law.
The applications of the homesteaders
were rejected by the United States land
office for being in conflict with the Sc
lection made for indemnity school
lands.
AS the case is a test case it is being
vigorously contested by both sides.
