PANAMA, Aug 31.-Dispatches from
the Herald's correspondent in Colon says
that advices have been received there
from Bogota via Barrznquiila. dated Au-
gust IA. They report that the Panama
canal treaty was rejected by the Senate
because of the imperative nature Of the
notes received from Secretary of State
Hay and United States Minister Baupres.
These notes We're regarded as often
sive and considered highly humiIiating
even by the Senator'S who supported the
treaty without amencments and were
friendly to the United States. Under
the circumstances these friendly .Sena:
tors considered it incumbent upon them
to vote unanimously Tor the rejection of
the treaty in. order to maintain the dig
nifty OF the republic' :.
This action of the Senare was followed
by the introduction of proposition al.
thorizing the Government TO negotiate:a a
new treaty with the United States in
which. the French canal company. should
be left out of the consideration. The
main question now discussed is whether
the United States viii. be willing to- en-
ter into new, negotiations :or' will sim
ply let the matter drop and take. up the
Nicaraguan route: {:
Immediately after the treaty was re-
jected exchange went' up to $4,000 per
cent discount Senators Caro-, Orpimea
and Pere Soto were heroes of the day
when tie Senate rejected the treaty
without a dissenting vote
Minister Rico made an eloquent
speech in defense of the treaty and the
course Of the Government; but without
affecting the situation.
Only one Of the Panama Senators was
present when the Senate took action He
was Pere Soto, who. although born in
Panama, has always been away from
there. Senators: ObaIdia and Uricochea
were not on:hand.

that Convict Theron and two .companions.
who are also believed to be escapes from

miles from Reno. While the exact loca-
ton OF the place OF capture is not known
here. it is believed that the fleeing. felons
were run 10 earth in Plumas County,
California.
Theron and his companions were caught
by H. E. Cornwall and his two nephews,
young men about % years Of age, The
story as told here is that the men were
suddenly surprised and found themselves
looking down, the. muzzles of three rifles
IN the hands Of three determined men be-
fore they had an opportunity to draw
their own weapons,
The capture OF Theron without blood
shed comes as welcome surprise for
he is one OF the most desperate of the
escapes, and 1t was not believed that he
would be taken alive. That he was sur
prised is probably due to the fact that he
is worn out, as the officers have kept
him on the move since the day he broke
out Of Folsom prison.
Theron and his companions were forced
70 submit 10 having their hands and feet
tied. as their csptors were not provided
with irons TO place on them. The prison.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81
A most important conference was
to-day held between the Secre-
tary Of State and Mr.. Darling, the
Acting Secretary ..of the Navy,
Immediately after the departure
OF the Turkish Minister. 1t is
believed that final orders to Rear
Admiral Cotton were formulated
and that the Secretary. of the
Navy was requested to transmit
them to him.
1t is admitted in diplomatic cir
cles that unless Turkey makes
the most abject apology and
gives the safest kind of guaran-
tees for indemnities the United
States warships will be obliged to
invest Turkish ports. The opinion
is changing from Beirut as the
proper place to make the de-
mands to Smyrna, a. more i'm
portant city.
Officials of the United States
Government believe that the only
substantial preventive of trouble
Of a serious kind which NAV
sooner or later involve the
United States in war, not only
with Turkey but with Turkeys
European friends, is the removal
of the Turkish capital beyond the
Bosphorus.
DIPLOMAT SEES hay.
Chel1ib Bey, the Turkish Min
lister, had long interview with
Secretary Hay. He refused to
discuss the interview, stating that
he had nothing to communicate
further than what appeared in the
dispatches yesterday morning.
If the Turkish Minister re-
quested that the European
squadron be kept away from
Turkish waters his request prob
ably cannot be granted, even
should this Government desire to
accede to it, as the Navy Depart
ment states that it will be inn
possible to communicate with
the Brooklyn and San Francisco
until they arrive at. Beirut.
Chelib Bey assured Secretary
Hay that the Turkish Govern
ment' had done nothing wrong
and will use every endeavor to
protect American citizens resid-
ing in Turkey. He also discussed
the conditions of the insurrection
in Turkey and said that the Turk
ish Government was not respOn-
s1ble tor any OF the disasters tilat
had occurred.
Late dispatches from Minister
Leishman give in detail the condi-
tions in Turkey and do not differ
materially in tone from those pre-
viously sent. Minister Leishman
does not, as reported in some
quarters, request the withdrawal
Of the American ships from Turk
ish waters.
