less the United States Immediately re-
cedes from its position. This is in re-
ply to Minister Beaupre's notification
that the United States had entered
into official relations with the repub-
lie of Panama.
Bcgota, Nov. IL The Colombian
government will protect the American
legation and citizens here. There is
no demonstration so far against them.
Treaty is Signed.
Washington. Nov. 10 = The Hay
Bunau-VarilIa isthmian canal treaty
was signed last evening at the resi-
dence of Secretary Hay by the secre-
ia and Philippe Bunau-Narilla, the
minister from Panama.
The treaty in its text cannot be
made public at this moment because
the senate has say as to the matter
of publicity by the ''unwritten law"
But certain facts have been disclosed
as to the provisions Of the treaty
which make it appear that in its
general outlines the new Hay-Bunau-
Narilla convention is patterned upon
the failed Hay-Herran treaty with the
exception that the new convention fol-
lows not only the spirit but the let
ter of the Sp0oner act.
Gives Us Absolute Sovereignty.
Thus. instead of the lease for
a fixed period of the canal strip,
this new treaty provides for a
perpetual lease of the right-of-
way to the United States; and instead
of a complicated provision for court
of mixed composition - half United
Statesan and half Colombian to
administer justice over the canal strip
the new treaty permits the United
States government to exercise the most
complete jurisdiction thereupOn. The
United States may fortify the line and
the terminals, and it may police it with
troops. Then the two terminal cities
of Panama and Colon pass completely
under United States jurisdiction =
which incidentally involves the estab-
lishment OF a new capital for the re-
public of Panama outside of the canal
strip.
All Money Goes tn Panama.
The money consideration is under

stood to be the same, only Pan;lma in
stead of Colombia is to receive the $10,-
100000. The canal is to be neutral
and open to all nations on even terms.
These are understood to be the terms
of the new treaty. which is much sim
pier in form than the failed Hay-Her-
ran treaty. 1t is stated that the Pana-
ma commission, which has arrived here,
has been empowered to ratify the
treaty and this action may occur with
in the next forty-eight hours or soon

% last, in which he tells Knox that
testimony had been brought before the
grand jury which involved not only the
postmaster of Hastings. Jacob Fisher,

continue the investigation. and to in
duce them to do so had promised to
transmit all the testimony to the de-
