SYMPATHIES WITH AMERICA.
Ambassador Tower Informed by Baron
Won Richthofen Question of Mod.
cling Did Not Exist.
THE STATEMENT WAS VOLUNTARY.
Moral Effect of This Federation, il
Is Believed, VIII Not be Lost
On the Powers.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE imperial chan
cellor, Count Won Buelow, authorizes
the Associated Press to declare that all
rumors of German interference In CO.
lombian affairs are baseless and that
Germany follows with It's sympathles
the efforts Of the United States to es-
tablsh order in the isthmus.
NO QUESTION or INTERFERENCE,
Washington, d. c., Nov. 1l.-Mr.
Tower, our ambassador at Berlin. has
cabled the state department that he has
been requested by Baron Won Richtho-
fen, the German foreign secretary to
inform the Washington government
mat the report that Germany intend
ed TO become involved In the 18th
milan situation Is entirely Without
foundation, and that nothing Ia known
IN Berlin of The Intention OF Colombia
to appeal 10 Emperor William for as
sisthnce, as was alleged in a recent in
tervicw by the Colombian consul-gen-
eral az New York. Mr. Tower adds
that he was further assured by the for
eign secretary in a most earnest and
sincere manner that the question of
Germauys interfering in Panama
simply did not exist.
The statement Is authorized that the
Information conveyed to our anbassa-
dor at Berlin was entirely voluntary
on the part Of the German government,
as tho interview of the Colombian con-
sul-gencral at New York had been ig-
nored here The action OF the Berlin
government Is thoroughly appreciated
by the Washington government for, al
though Il merely confirmed what the
state department already knew, the
moral effect OF the reiteration at this
time Of Germanys friendly attitude to
the United States, IL is thought, will
not be lost on the powers,
COLOMBIA WAS TOO SLOW
1t Is stated here on authority that IL
is too late for Colombia to make any
effort 20 resurrect the canal treaty
with the United States and beyond
preventing a hostile clash between
Colombia and the new republic OF PAM
anna, the proposed visit OF Gen. Reyes
to Panama viii be without result The
same authority points out that tho
United States government, having rec
ognZed Panama ms an independent
state, cannot now proceed to negotiate
with Colombia on any, terms for canal
rights IN state over which Colombia
exercises no political control so any
future canal negotiations will be be-
tween the United States government
and the government of the republic OF
Panama.
THANKS FOR FRANCES ATTI-
tube.
Paris, Nov. ll.-Ambassador Porter

long and agreeable conversation with
Foreign Minister Deicasse concerning
the events at Panama. The discuss

accord of views existed between the
two governments The ambassador
took occasion 10 thank NJ Decasse for
the friendly and sympathetic attitude
OF France.
The numerous informal conferences
held between NJ. Delcasse and Gen.
Porter have contributed largely to-
wards insuring the French attitude OF
leaving the United States untrammel-
led In connection with isthmian ar
fairs.
