ciently. The President promptly granted

lieve they will succeed.

MAY LET MATTERS DRIFT.
Belief Regarding Presidents Inten-
tions as to the Canal Route.

t1OAS do W tAAC Sa0e4 ANO0I0s
The State Department today had no dis
patches bearing upon the Panama canal
situation either from Minister Beaupre or
through Mr.. Herran. the Colombia charge
d affaires here and nothing is looked for dur
ing the day which will keep the treaty alive
after midnight tonight. BY the terms of the
treaty 1t had to be ratified eight months
from the date it was signed. January q of
the present year. There is no intimation in
official circles here as to what will follow
the rejection of the treaty.
1t is believed. however. that the admins
tratton will not proceed at once with nego-
ttations looking to the alternative proposi
ton for the requirement of the Nicaraguan
route. While nothing is disclosed here as
to the Presidents Intentions, 1t is believed
that for the present he will allow matters
to drift along and await developments. pos
sibly postponing action until after Con-
greSs meets.
1t has been learned from an authoritative
quarter that ever since DR.. Herran. the Co
lombian charge d'affaires. submitted to the
State Department confidential communi-
cation from his government bearing on the
subject of the Panama canal, the present
treaty was dead 1t also Is learned that
the nature of these confidential advices was
an outline of new proposition which 1t IL
claimed will harmonize all conflicting inter-
ests, and that this was made possible only
through a compromise. It is said that a
number Of those who opposed the treaty did
80 not because they were antagonistic to
the construction of the Panama canal, but
that they desired certain amendments to
the treaty which they felt were essential to
the interests of the Colombian government
These opponents, 1t is further said, have
now been placated. and will permit Presi-
dent Marroquin to deal directly with the
United States without further discussion
upon the part Of the Colombian congress
1t was realized that any change in the
treaty at Bogota meant the resubmission
of the question to the United States Sen
ate, and that being so, efforts were set on
foot to bring all conflicting interests to-
gether, and agree upon a new proposition
That this has been done now seems to be
an assured fact.
At the Colombian legation it was learned
that the agent of the Panama Canal Com
pany had called. but he had no information
to convey Dr. Herran, the Colombian
charge, while admitting that the present
treaty was sure to expire by limitation at
midnight tonight expecting news
which would throw some light on the SUBJ
ject of future negotiations.
