NO ARRANGEMENT PROJECTED
Panama Canal Company Officials Not
Negotiating With Colombia

A dispatch from Paris says 1t was assert
ed positively today by one of the highest
officials of the Panama Canal Company that
contrary to the statement emanating from
New Orleans, no arrangement has been
made or projected between the company
and the republic of Colombia in connection
with the suits now pending before the
French courts.
The official declared there is absolutely
no difficulty in the way of an immediat tie
conclusion of the negotiations for the trans.
fef of the concession to the United States
as the company maintains that the French
procedure does not provide for an injunc-
ton. that there cannot be any legal re-
straint of the transfer. and also that prac-
tcaliy all the available assets of the com
pany, consisting of material for construc-
ton, dredges, &c, are in Panama outside
OF the jurisdiction of the French courts. 1t
is further pointed out that If the transfer
to the United States is effected Immediate
~ subsequent proceedings will be neffec-
tive so far as applying to the United States.
At the Colombian legation here 1t was
SAID that no negotiations were in progress
between Colombia and the canal company
for the withdrawal of the suits
The officials of the company are inclined
ID believe that the report of a settlement
grew out of the negotiations for a treaty
looking to the adjustment of the differences
between Colombia and Panama, in which
may be settled the question of the owner
snip OF the shares of the company formerly
voted by Colombia and now one of the sub
jects of the pending litigation.
1t Is understood here that Gen. Reeves of
Colombia, who is on his way to Rome ia
