the Colombian Peace Commissioner, and his
colleagues continued their conferences to-day
with Dr. Tomas Herran, the Colombian Charge
d'Afaires at Washington, regarding the Panama
Canal treaty and affairs the isthmus. AS a
preliminary to any action General Reyes is
famliarizing himself thoroughly with every
feature of the Isthmian question about which
Dr. Herran is able TO give him information
There are many antecedent circumstances
bearing on the negotiation of the defunct Hay
Herran convention of which it is desirable
that General Reyes shall have knowledge before
he proceeds with his mission. There also are
other features Of the situation which have de-
veoped since the general left Bogota which it is
desirable shall be fully discussed with DR.. Her

CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA
Chance Of Var Secuted at Colon
Lack of ReUeHue Feared.

Colon. Nov. 2S.-The next event of political
importance to the new Republic of Panama will
be the ratification Of the canal treaty and its
return to Washington. The ratification Of the
treaty appears to be considered by the govern
rlent as the final step, far Panama Is con-
cerred absolutely binding the republic to
the protection of the United States After this
has been effected it is thought on the isthmus
that there will remain nothing for Panama to do
except to proceed, under the security of the pro
lection Of the friendship of thu United States.
with the development of her internal affairs
The possibility OF war with armed trouble
from Colombia is not taken into serious con-
sideration anywhere on the isthmus, and is
never heard discussed officially or otherwise.
The government officials seem to think that in
case of any difficult situation. they viii have
cnIy to turn to the United States for guidance.
and that if help is needed the United States
will supply t.
The provisions Of the canal treaty providing
that the yearly payments of S250O00 shall not
begin until nine years have elapsed and the
clause declaring Colon and Panama free ports
have aroused some fears regarding the repub-
lies ability to raise sufficient revenue to meet
its expenses The making of Colon and Panama
free ports will deprive the republic each year
Of about $4,000 in silver. or $4,000 in gold.
this amount being three-nfths of the total rev.
erUe of the republic outside of the railroad and
canal payments. Hence the government is par
ticularly anxious that SSO00.000 of the S10.-
100000 to be paid on account of the canal shall
be SO invested to bear interest and be safe
guarded from possible future assault and reck-
less expenditure by less scrupulous Panamese
politicians who may succeed the present officials.
