General Reyes talked with a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press
about his mission. He said:
"You will readily admit the pro-
priety Of my refraning from discuss
ing MY mission, which is of a confideu-
tsa character, but of the offer which
ee1cmbia is ready to make | desire to
say that my energies and those of my
followers will be devoted to the grant
fss of the canal concessions to the
Vsted States without the payment Of

Are you authorized by President
Marroquin to make this offer to the

That would he divulging nay in
structiOns before l have executed

now he replied.
Popular Demand for Canal.
"You can further say" continued
the general, that all Colombia is afre
with zeal for the building of the canal
by the United States and the unfor-
tunate political troubles which were
the sole cause of the treaty's death
before the Colombian congress have
entirely disappeared. We want the
canal and | have come to Washington
to see what the people of the United
States are prepared to accept I come
with instructions from the president of
Colombia direct. My mission in no
way interferes with the prerogatives
of Dr.. Herran, the Colombian charge,
for whom my government. and myself
personally have the greatest respect
l shall be in daily conference with
him and we shall work In entire har-
mony. DR.. Herran will go to the
state department with me and pre-
sent me to Secretary Hay"
What can the United States do now
that treaty has been signed by Sec
retary Hay and M. Bunau-Varilla? ?"
THAT treaty has not been ratified.
The Colombian government does not
ask the United States to aid it in put
ting down the revolution on the 18TH
mus. All we ask is to be allowed to
conduct our own affairs free from out
side interference. The Colombian
government can put down the revolu-
ton without violating a letter of The
treaty of 1876. L refer to the treaty
that we always have respected and ad.
hered to and not to the treaty as in
terpreted in these later days. If the
United States maintains a neutral po-
sition the revolution will be put

cue was tedious in the extreme and
several hours were consumed before
the first body was found.

Shot During the Long Chase and
Final Engagement-Prisoners Con-
fess to Participating in Eight Muir.
:. ders in the Windy City:
Chicago, Nov. 28.-Chained wrist to
wrist. their hair matted to dried
blood, their. clothing covered with
dust and dirt, two boys, Peter Neider-
meier and Harvey Vandine, sat last
night in the presence of Mayor Harri-
son and Chief of Police O'Neil calmly
confessing to their share in a three
months career of crime, which has in
cluded eight murders, the wounding of
five other men, and a long series of
rObberies. The two young bandits,
neither of whom is over twenty one
years of age, together with their CON-
panion, Emil Roeski, who is no older,
were captured near Liverpool, Ind,
Friday after fight in which they bat
tied against policemen, railroad de-
tectives, railroad laborers and farm
ers One man was killed, another
fatally wounded and all three of the
young bandits were wounded, but not
seriously.
The dead man is T. J. Sovea, brake
man on the Pennsylvania railway.
The wounded are Joseph Driscoll,
Chicago detective, shot through abdo>
men, can live but short time; Mat
thew thinner, Chicago detective, shot
in head and arm. Niedermeier was
wounded in the head by bird shot;
Vandine was similarly injured and
sustained in addition a flesh wound in
the left thigh. Roeski was shot in the
right hip. His wound is the most
serious of any inflicted upon the three
men, but was not sufficiently serious
to prevent him from travelling a long
distance after receiving it.
Wanted for Car Barn Murders.
The three men were wanted by the
police for completely in the murders
at the car barns of the Chicago City
Railway company, on Aug. 80, when
two men were killed, third wounded
and $2,250 stolen from the company.
Gustave Marx, who last Saturday
night murdered Officer John Quinn,
when the policeman endeavored to
place him under arrest, confessed
after his capture that he. in company
with the three men, had committed
the crimes at the car barns. The
hunt for Vandine, Niedermeier and
Roeski has been hot ever since and
finally resulted in their capture after
a desperate fight
The men admitted that Marx had
told essentially the truth in connect
ing them with the various crimes
charged UP against them and said that
they did the killing at the car barns.
''I hit two men," said Neidermeier.
81 don't know il killed anybody"
Vandine said they intended to re-
turn to Chicago Friday night to COM
nit robbery in order to obtain money
to facilitate their escape. In answer
to questions, Vandine said that ali
four men shot Otto Bauder; that
Nedmeier and himself shot man at
North avenue and Forty-seventh
street; that .Roeski and he killed
Gross, and said that he and Roeski
robbed many saloons.
Vandine said that. they were plan
ming some big robberies in Chicago,
but Marks confession spoiled their
plans. He expressed desire to kill
Marx.
