COLOMBIAN TROOPS MUST NOT

THE tSTHMUS.
REYES MIsUNOERSTANDS SITUATION
SAYS UNITED STATES GUARAN.
TEES TO PROTECT ONLY
CANAL ZONE.

Washington, Feb. lit is stated at
the state department thai General
Reyes must have misunderstood the
position of the authorities here If he,
as reported from Bogota, informed the
Colombian government 4hat the Unit
ed States limited its objection 10 the
landing OF Colombian troops in Pan
anna TO the canal zone itself. The de-
partment has not in any sense changed
it's position since it was outlined in
the note of Secretary Hay of Nov. IL
to Minister Bunau-Narilla when il was
expressly stated that no troops with
hostile intent could be landed in Pan
anna
Since that date treaty has been
negotiated between the United States
and Panama by which the former guar
antees the integrity of the latter and
that treaty is now before the senate.
In its present state, to use the words
of Secretary Hay, Panama has,
therefore, acquired "an inchoate right
to the protection of the United States.
Colombian attack would be regarded
by the government OF the United
States as an unfriendly act.
Minister Bunau-Varilla had long
talk during the day with Acting Sec
retary Loomis and reported that the
new constitution would be completed
in a day or two.

Concessions by Russia Will Not Sat

Toxic, Feb. 1.-The government
does not, il is said, possess any Rus
sian information concerning the char
acter of the forthcoming note. al
though il has received various reports
the ma jority of which say the reply
will be satisfactory. None, however
emanate from source which warran'
their full acceptance as correct. 1t l
the belief here that Count Lamsdorn
the Russian foreign minister. has no
given out the slightest intlmation o
its contents. Even that carries ltth
assurance, for the Russian and Japan
ese conceptions of what constitutes 6
fair bargain vary materially.
The government of Japan does no'
anticipate the necessity OF the Rus
sian reply for a few days. When II
comes it will probably be considered
by the throne in conference with the
cabinet and elder statesmen. Inc
presumption that Russia has MADE
concessions does not, in the leasl
warrant the conclusion that there VIII
be a peaceful settlement OF the exist
ing difficulties If the reply should
prove to be completely unsatisfactory
to Japan the outcome of the confer
ence is manifest. Should il give par
tial satisfaction an exchange OF NOTES
Is possible, although there remains
slight room for additional diplomacy
