PANAMA C4N4L TREATY
Feeling against 1t an BOgota, bit
Petitions an It's FAVOR.
IRON THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.l

Washington, June 23.-An official Of one Of the
government departments here has Just returned
from Colombia When he left there the fate Of
the Panama Canal treaty was very uncertain.
The Colombian Congress had not met Cit is in
session now, and a vigorous campaign was be-
ing conducted against the treaty. "Of course"
said he, something may have developed since
left TO make the Colombian Government and TIE
people of that republic regard the treaty in a
more favorable light, but during the time that
I was in Bogota the indications were that the
treaty would not receive one favorable vote.
The feeling most intense. and one Of the
Bogota papers remarked editorially that hang
ing would be too merciful a punishment for
Herran. the Colombian Charge d'Anaires in
Washington who negotiated the treaty.
Just before I came away indications were
slightly more favorable. but 1t is by means
certain that the treaty will be ratified
gradual change is taking place. and it may be
that a strong sentiment will develop which will
carry the treaty through. The people on the
isthmus are becoming somewhat enthusiastic
an0 petition signed by twelve hundred people
sent TO Bogota. This petition urges the
government most strongly to ratify the treaty
without delay. A similar petition sent to
Bogota from Cartagena. Singularly enough,
however, it is by no means certain that the
Representatives and Senators from Cartagena
and the isthnus will stand by the wishes OF the
petitioners
