STATES WOULD sEcEDE.
cauca and AntioquIa Would Break
Colombian Rule.

Colombian Hute.
Panama, Nov. 28.--An American
travelling agent who has Just arrived
here from Buena Ventura on the
steamer Manani, after stay of
twenty days in the department Of
Cauea, reports that the feeling of UNI
rest In Cauca and Antioquia contin-
ues and that the secession movement
there has the support of many promi-
nent men, including number of high
officials.
An outbreak was recently started
In Cali, the business center of the
Cauca department, but the authori-
ties quickly suppressed 1t and arrested
the ringleaders, who suffered no harm,
probably because of the sympathies
of the officials with the movement.
The secession movement. this man
says, is serious, but 1t Is impossible
to foretell what will be done or when
any step will be undertaken. He also
says there is no evidence of any war
like or aggressive movements against
Panama. There Is plenty of threaten
ing talk, but no action.
The Americans at ALI have not
been molested. The authorities at
Buena Ventura, the traveller says,
were inclined to be annoying when
he left there. but nothing serious had
happened. The discomfort In Cauca
and Antioquia arises from the same
causes that led to the movement for
independence on the isthmts.

PEACE ALL BUT ASSURED.
Russia and Japan Likely to Settle
Trouble.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 28.--The pro-
longation of the Russo-Japanese nego-
tiations at Toxic Is due to the In
ability to reach an understanding re-
garding Corea.
Tentative terms on the subject of
Manchuria have been settled. Japan
recognizes Russia's dominant inter-
ests and agrees not to place obstacles
In the way of the solution. Japan in.
sists ON the recognition of her infiu-
ence in Corea and the opening Of
Yongampho and other ports to foreign
trade. Russia is willing to concede
something, but she opposes the open
.ng of Yongampho.
Russia is doing everything possible
20 bring the negotiations to conclu-
sion. Russia believes it wise to press
matters while Japan is in a pacific
mood. The chief fear expressed here
IS that the moral effect of the United
States continuous pressure in con-
aection with the open-door policy will
.ead Japan to rashness." The atti-
Jude of the United States causes much
nervousness and some resentment.
Last winter the United States was
aroused by the persistent declara-
lions in the British and Japanese
press that Russia would never permit
China to sign commercial treaty.
yet it was signed on the date fixed.
The sudden flash of anger in China
aver the Russian reoccupation of
Mukden, because 1t Is the old burial
place of the ancestors of the present
dynasty, Is not considered grave, as
China's impotency is recognized. De-
spite the conviction here that the cri-
sis has passed for the winter, Russia
IS taking nothing for granted.
Travellers who have just returned

trains going eastward are still filed
