CANAL AT NICARAGUA
NO OTHER TREATY TO ACQUIRE
PANAMA PROPERTY.
Colombia Must Accept srerms offered
by Congress or Pfs,ect VIII
Be AbaadSnsd.

While the various ;di3batches from Co.
lombia are read with intdF Fest by the officials
Of the State Department. and while the in
formation which has been received from
Minister Beaupre indicates desire upon
the part OF the Colombian government to
know what the United States intends to do
since the rejection of the canal treaty, It
may be stated authoritatively that for the
present this government will do nothing.
The Spooner law prescribed course for
the President to pursue. which was to con-
struot the canal by the Nicaragua route in
case satisfactory terms could not be made
with the Colombian government. But as the
law did not specify a time when the alter
native route should be taken the President
will probably take his time in deciding
when negotiations shall be opened for that
route. While the matter is thus held in
allegiance nothing will be done.
The United States does not propose to tell
Colombia how long IL will wait before pro-
ceeding with the otEer route nor will this
government waver from Its position as to
the treaty.
All the propositioAs for amending the
treaty and the negot5Ating Of another doc
ument receive no confederation by this gov
ernment. 1t Is the nfesent treaty or none.
Meanwhile the Units1 States will take just
what time it Is deenasd necessary to decide
that the negotiations with Colombia are
at an end.
Incidentally the story about possible
ment to accept tfsS terms OF the canal
treaty and to builA the canal by force
caused only derision heres Such action on
the part Of the United States would be in
direct violation of the Spooner bill, which
distinctly specifies that IL the United States
cannot enter into d; treaty with Colombia
for the Panama canal It must be built on
the Nicaragua route and nowhere else.

MISSIONARIES STORY.
Miss Alice Barber Tells Of Previous At
tack on Magelssen.

J&1CA Va AAAo6 OAoNSSAe
CHICAGO, August 29.-A dispatch to the
Record-Herald from Joliet. ILL.,. says: Miss
Alice Barber, who was a missionary for
eighteen years at Beirut. and is well ac-
ouainted with Vice Consul Magelssen. Is
visiting her parents in this city. The pres
ent difficulty she attributes to the lower
classes, the outlaws and footpads who in
vest that city and make 1t exceedingly dan
gerous for foreigners especially at all times
about two years ago." said Miss Barber,
IAN attack was made upon Mr.. Magelssen
while he was on his way from the cape.
where the American college is located, to
the main part, Of the city. Three men
sprang from a thicket, knocked him. down
and took his watch and chain.
He was young man of powerful build
and was formerly a foot ball player. AS
soon as he recovered from his surprise he
attacked his assailants, recovered his watch
and gave all three Of the robbers a severe
beating.
Quite a commotion was raised at the
time, and the college instructors appealed
to the local authorities for better protection
AS a result police station was established
near there and detail of soldiers stationed
in that locality.
'In spite of this 1t became more danger
Gus for the instructors, and none of them
ventured out at night unless they were
armed with stout walking sticks

BIG LOSS OR BIG LIE.
Joseph Picard Claims to Be Minus
$1,5OO,OOO.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, August 29.-An envel-
ope said to contain government bonds and
copper mining stock valued at 81 800 600
cannot be found. Joseph Picard says he
placed 1t In vault at the state capital
sixteen years ago for safe keeping.
Picard's father, Joseph Picard, a wealthy
Frenchman. died in Canada sixteen years
ago. and according to the story related by
the son placed in his hands Just before
his death an envelope which he was in
structed not to open until he was twenty
one years old. He disobeyed the injunction
and opened the envelope. which he found
to contain bonds valued at $1,000. 600 and
copper mining stock worth half as much
This envelope, Picard says he reseaIed
and took to the capitol, where he asked
the officials to place IT in a vault for him
for safe keeping.
The officials are inclined to discredit the
story, although search was made of some
of the vaults in the building for the MISS
Ing papers. which have not been found.

When the City of Chicago, bound for 81.

conversed freely at a distance of five miles

him on the subject at the State Depart
ment. Its contents were extremely graft
flying to the officials of the government
here, as it relieved the situation Of its
extreme tension and leaves the way open
for an amicable and peaceful adjustment of
the incident Whether or not orders will
be given calling off the proposed cruise of
the European squadron to Turkish waters
is a matter for further determination.
Substance Of Dispatch.
Acting Secretary Loomis declined to
make public the text Of Minister Leish-
mans dispatch tonight, but he gave a sum-
mary Of its contents AS stated in the
press dispatch, 1t shows that Mr.. Magels-
sen had been shot at by some person at
the time unknown to the officials, but that
he had not been hit The local Turkish
gret at the occurrence, and were exerting
themselves to apprehend the assassin, but
thus far had been unsuccessful.
The minister's dispatch also said that
Consul Ravndal had reported to him that
some of the foreign conSulS located at
Beirut had reported to their governments
that the situation at that place had be-
come exceedingly unsafe, that this condI-
ton of affairs had existed for some time.
and that something ought to be done to re-
lieve the tension. The opinion was ex-
pressed that the attempted assassination of
Magelssen probably would bring matters to
a focus, the attention of the Turkish gov
ernment being drawn to the matter In this
forcible way. and some effort thus De made
to avoid further trouble.
Naval Orders Stand.
The latest development in the Turkish
situation was discussed in official circles,
where the view is held that denial of the
report of the killing of Mr. Magelssen re-
lieves the situation of its Immediately
awkward and embarrassing feature. but
will not prevent our naval vessels continu-
ing to the east.
Minister Leishman in one Of his dispatches
to the department suggested that con-
ditions were such that it might be well to
have some American naval demonstration
in those waters. Reports also have come
to the government from the missionary in
terests Of threatened destruction of their
property at Harpoot, and because Of this
Admiral Cotton. 1t is expected, will be al
lowed to proceed with one or more of his
vessels to Beirut.
A cablegram was later received at the
State Department from Minister Leishman,
at Constantinople. confirming the announce
ment that an error had been made in the
first dispatch telling Of the killing OF
Magelssen He admits that the mistake
was due to an error in transladng the
cipher dispatch from Consul Ravndal at
Beirut
Acting Secretary Darling of the navy
has received a dispatch from Rear Admiral
Cotton saying that he had left Villefranche
with the cruisers Brooklyn and San Fran
cisco for Beirut. The Machias Is coal1ny
at Genoa and will follow the other vessels
to Beirut as soon as possible.
