COlOMBIA'S CLAIMS.
Declares Conspiracy Was Formed to
Organize Republic of Panama.

President Roosevelt transmitted to
the senate Monday additional CORE
spondence touching the relations Of
the United States with Colombia and
Panama, covering the period from De-
cember 23 1903, to January last. A
statement of grievances on the part of
Colombia was presented to the state
department by General Reyes on De-
cember %. General Reyes says that
the course of the United States had
worked deep injury to Colombia, and
he cited the treaty of 1864 as showing
that the independence and sovereignty
of Colombia was to be maintained in
tact between the two governments.
General Reyes said with reference to
the Hay-Herrap treaty that the same
course was followed in Bogota as was
pursued in Washington. If the treaty
he said had been rejected in Washing.
ton, the disapproval would have in
volved no grievance for Colombia and
that the Colombian congress In its
disapproval of the treaty simply exer-
cised a vested right. This action, he
maintained, did not disqualify the Co
lombian government for the conclusion
Of another treaty.
AS to the recognition of the republic
OF Panama, General Reyes says It is

churia, which Russia thus far has de-
clined to grant. 1t is pointed out, how.
ever, that the assurance given few
days ago by Russia regarding open
ports in Manchuria and respect for
treaty rights is a concession on this
point.
That the two countries are not so
far apart may be fairly inferred from
the following statement made by Mr..
Kurrino, the Japanese minister: war
now would only be disastrous to both
countries. Owing to the geographical
situation, an armed conflict would re.
suit in a great drain on the men and
treasury of both Japan and Russia
without being decisive. Besides, be

to war on the questions still in dis.

that through the cars personal acts
the peace party is completely in the
ascendant.

PETER TO ADVOCATE
KING OF sERViA's POSITION
VERY INSECURE.
Successor Must Pledge Himself to
Punish Assassins Of King Alex
ander and Queen Draga.

King Peter of Servia, according to
a report from Cettinje, Montenegro,
published by Vienna paper, Is pre-
pared to voluntarily renounce the
throne and allow the powers to nomi
nate his successor.
The prince of Montenegro is said to
have received q mandate from Russia
to clear up the precarious situation
in Servia, and King Peter is alleged
to have recognized the untenability of
his position and to be willing to abdi-
cate. His successor, II Is added, will
only be permitted to ascend the throne
conditionally on his agreeing to punish
the leaders of the conspiracy which
resulted in the assassination of King
Alexander and Queen Draga, remov.
Ing all those who were directly or in
directly concerned in the regicide.

openly threatening to take revenge
on Europe by Joining in the expected
Macedonian outbreak in the spring.
