entered into relations with the rebels, declared that Colombia must accept the situation or engage in a civil war, the action of the United States also meaning that 1t would not allow the Colombian Government to take military measures to suppress the rebels and reintegrate the nation. The natives thus became the allies of the rebels.
 Case of Texas Cited.
 Minister Rico then asserted that this action of the United States was in con- trast with the steps taken when Texas declared her independence, which, he said, was not recognized by the United States until two years later. and referred to the treaty of December 12. 1S4e, between the United States ard New Granada. quoting article one, and saying that the United States by It's action towards the Colom- bian forces on the Isthmus had clearly violated said article.
 Woulu Have Agreed to Arbitration.
 The minister then quoted the final part of article 35 of the treaty of 1s46 and said the obligation of the United States to maintain neutrality and Colombian sovereignty was clear and could not be misinterpreted. He afterwards referred to the othert treaties between the United States and Colombia, asserting that the treaty of 1s46 was in force, and that if the United States government doubted that the recognition of the independence of Panama was against this treaty and wished to submit the point of arbitration to another Power or to The Hague arbi- tration tribunal, Colombia would willing ly agree to it.
 Some More history.
 The foreign minister next touched upon the Civil War in the United States, and said: When England and France rec ognized the belligerency of the Confed- crate States. American diplomacy was SO astonished that Mfr. Seward would not listen to the reading of the instructions received by the ministers of those Pow CTS. because the Union was divided into belligerent factions, declaring 1t was not admissible.
 ITO Mir. Adams, the American minister in London. he said. quoting a dispatch previously addressed to the American minister at Paris: Here only one politi- cal power exists. and 1t is recognized by all nations
 we hope the United States will apply the doctrines which 1t upheld during the War of Secession, and not oppose the right of Colombia to suppress rebels and not recognize their belligerency. The United States by it's recognition of the government of Panama would accept con- dltions almost similar to those existing at the time of the separatist movement in the United States, thus aggravating the circumstances and violating the treaty which induces Colombia to enter an earnest protest against such action.
 Will Break Or Relations.
 Colombia protests that her friendship for the United States has reached such a state of disturbance as to make 1t impossible for her continued diplomatic relations with the United States. unless the latter announces its intention not to inerfere win Colombia's attempt to sup- press the rebels on the Isthmus and not to recognize the belligerency of the rev. olutionary government.
 Awaiting an early answer, remain etc.

 of Mission.

Bogota, Nov. 21.-A man. prominent in public affairs today informed the cores pendent of the Associated Press that inc Columbian Government would await the result of the mission to Washington of General Reyes before deciding upon its policy as regards the new republic of Pa mama. The general opinion here Is that there will be war, but that the govern ment first will do its utmost to effect a diplomatic arrangement.
 The belief is expressed in government circles that the United States Senate will not approve of the action of President Roosevelt regarding affairs on the isthmus. All parties here have offered their aid to the government and over 1O0 % volunte.s have rendered their ser vices in the event of a declaration of hostilities.

ANNEXATION OF CUBA.
President Palma Discusses Newlands
 Resolution.

Havana, Nov. A.-The joint resolution introduced in the United States Senate by MT. Newlands Friday inviting Cuba to become State of the United States has occasioned a great deal of comment. Many Cubans are amused by it while some prominent Spaniards and other per- sons of foreign birth favor the idea.
 In an interview President Palma com mented with considerable seri iousness on the provisions of the resolution He said that while there might possibly have been time when the majority of the res- idents of Cuba would favor voluntary ac tion that time had passed. the stability of the Cuban government having become so well established that the Cubans had no desire than to perpetuate 1t. Besides this. Cuba's political and commercial re lations with the United States were now settling in a manner so satisfactory thal 1t would be impossible to organize any movement of importance looking to an nexation.

 The committee is interesting capitalists s n the building of railroad into the interior of Togo. which 1t is hoped will )e commenced soon. Methods for increas-
