WAITING ON COLOMBIA.
Specializing on Action Regarding the
Panama Canal

Much interest is taken in Washington In
what the Colombian senate Will do with
the canal proposition now that the Hay
Herran treaty has failed. 1t Is known
that Colombia Is anxious to keep alive the
canal negotiations, State Department OFF,
Gals having received information to that
effect from the Colombian government. The
bill now before the senate of Colombia as
understood here is the one reported by
committee of that body. 1t contained treaty
provisions that would be entirely unaccept-
able to this government.
Minister Beaupre's advices express the
belief that the bill may be defeated and
also that 1t may be amended. The form
the amendments take Is regarded as the
important thing at present
In some quarters the opinion Is expressed
that by amendment President Marroquin
may be authorized to negotiate another
treaty along certain lines laid down in the
proposed bill which would permit of an
adjustment of the differences Of opinion
held by the United States and Colombia.
This convention, if one should be agreed
upon, might be laid before the new Colom-
bian congress, which comes into existence
next summer. Meanwhile nine new sena-
tors are to be elected In that country, and
1t is suggested an effort would be made to
elect men favorable to the treaty. Those
who retire are said to be opposed to the
present treaty.

Question Referred to Controller.

Upon the recommendation of Auditor
Garrison. the Commissioners will refer to
the controller of the treasury the question
as to which fund shall stand the expense Of
advertising notices to nonresident owners
to connect lots with sewers and water
mains. This advertising is done under a
special act of Congress, and it has been
the practice in past years to charge the
cost to the contingent fund of the District,
to be reimbursed when the assessment for
the work had been collected through the tax
office. There is an emergency fund of
$500 appropriated for the purpose of per-
hitting the health office to make the con-
nectionS referred to. This fund is also re-
imbursed from the assessments. Auditor
Garrison says the question arises as to
whether the cost of advertising should not
also be charged to the emergency fund of
the health department rather than to the
general contingent fund

COMPLAINTS OF LABoRERs.
to Be Made at st. An
dreW's Island,

Navy Department the gunboat Nashville
left Pensacola, Fla, yesterday for st. An

vestigating complaints filed at the State De-
partment Of the ill-treatment of American
laborers on the islano b. their employers,
and to afford them whatever relief may be
found Necessary under the circumS tanceS.
One of the compliments alleged that the
Americans employed there were held In a
state of bondage. and were being gradually
reduced to state of slavery. Although
these statements are believed to be some
what exaggerated, 1t was felt by the Off
Gals that the case was one that demanded
immediate investigation The United States
has no consular representative on the is
land, and it is practically inaccessible to the
nearest American consul in Colombia, to
whose district the territory naturally be-
longs. 1t was because of the difficulty OF
obtaining reliable information as to the
actual state of affairs on the island In any
other way that the government has dis
patched warship to the scene.
The Nashville is light draft gunboat of
1871 tons displacement, and has a battery
of eight guns. She is in command Of Com
mander John Hubbard. and her complement
includes a small guard of marines Com
mander Hubbard has been instructed to in
stitute thorough investigation and to take
proper steps for the protection and relief of
any American citizens in distress. At the
State Department 1t is said that there have
been no exchanges between the Washington
and Bogota governments in regard 10 the

The Latter Breaks Away and Driver
Goes to HOSPITAL.

An elephant, mule and a colored boy
formed a combination that caused some
excitement and little damage in the vi
entity of New York avenue and 10Th street
yesterday afternoon. The elephant belongs
to the Hagenback show and was on it's way
from the theater to it's quarters when it
frightened a mule that was being driven
by John Saunders. At the starting of the
trouble the mule did a little kicking and
then made an attempt to get out of sight.
Saunders remained on his seat until his
cart overturned. Then the mule did some
more kicking and the driver was forced to
drop out of the contest. He went to the
Emergency Hospital and had the surgeons
dress a lacerated wound of his leg. The
mule was captured a short distance from
the scene of the accident and detained I'M
til Saunders was able to take charge of
him.
