REPLIES TO NOTE
SECRETARY HAY SAYS COLOMBIA
HAS NO CASE.
America Did Not Act UnfriendIy as Pana-
ma Was Not Recognized Until Inde-
Policy to Acknowledgement of Mat
ter to the Hague Not Considered.

Washington, Jan. 20.- President
Roosevelt has transmitted to the senate
additional correspondence touching the
relations of the United States with Co.
lombia and Panama, covering the peri
cd from December %, 1908, to January
6 last. A statement of grievances on
the part of Colombia was presented to
the state department by General Reyes
on December %. General Reyes says
the course of the United States had
worked deep injury to Colombia, and
he cited the treaty of 1916 as showing
that the independence and sovereignty
of Colombia was to be maintained in
tact by the two governments.
Secretary Hay answered this note
under date of January 5. He says the
government has carefully considered the
grave complaints made and assures
General Reyes of our most friendly
sentiments for the government and peo-
pie of Colombia. The question SUBJ
mitted, he says, can be considered only
in the light of accomplished facts, of
which one is that the republic of Pana-
ma has become member of the family
of nations.
/ Under date of January 6, General
Reyes submits another note to Secre-
tary Hay, in which he says he has
transmitted Secretary Hays answer to
his government by cable. The secre-
tary's note is construed, he says, as an
intimation that the Colombian forces
will be attacked by the United States
on entering the territory of Panama to
subdue the rebellion, and for that reas-
on it would hold the government of the
United States for all damages to it by
the loss of that national territory. A
repitition is made of the position of
the Colombian government under the
treaty of 1846, and it is requested that
the first note of General Reyes be made
public.
Replying to this on January 9, Sec
retary Hay says that he finds almost
all the propositions brought forward
in the second note have been considered
and fully answered in his note of the
9th of January.
Under date of January IL, General
Reyes addressed Secretary Hay, stat
ing that he finds his arguments had not
been refuted BY the otherwise forcefuTl
papers which he had received. He
then discusses at some length his prop
osition to refer the matter to The
Hague and. concludes with a regret on
the failure of his mission to the United
States.
Secretary Hay answers this note un-
der date of January 13 with the state
ment that there is no reason to recon-
slider the attitude of the United States |
heretofore set forth. T.,

RUSSIA CANNOT YIELD.
Reply of Japan Contains Several OBJ
jectiOnabIe Features.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 19.-It is almost
practically certain that Russia will not
accept Japan's last proposal as an en-
tirety. Russia is ready to agree to
certain points, but on others, the for
eign Office believes Russia cannot yield.
The officials believe that the way is
open for continuing the negotiations,
and there is no indication that Russia
will seek to delay her answer which
probably will be ready in few days.
The czar continues to talk peace
and the dowager czarina, in conversa-
ton, remarked: s'War is a horrible
thing. There will be no war;"
In the meantime, Viceroy Alexieff
and Baron de Rosen, as we'll as the for
eign office, are studying the Japanese
document. Army and navy circles con-
tlnue pessimistic. The best feature of
the situation is the fact thai the JAP
anese reply has in no sense the char
acter OF an ultimatum. 1t is couched
in pacific terms, does not fix a time
limit, and the acceptance by Russia of
certain OF the propositions therein
marks an advance toward settlement,

ROUGH RIDERS ARB WANTED.
English Officers In Sahara May BE Called
From America.

6nXuSn OiNCSrS IN SdndFd may DC N6ue0
From America.
London, Jan. 20.-The development
of Jacques Lebaudy's Empire of
Sahara," is about to take turn which
will Re of some interest to the United
States. M. Lebaudy has decided to
draw the officers and noncommissioned
officers for two battalions of Imperial
Life guards from Great Britain and the
United States, and in pursuance of this
idea, he will submit to President Roose-
velt an invitation to name any officers
of his former Rough Riders whom he
can possibly recommend for commits
sions.
Colonel George Gouraud, Thomas A.
Edison's representative in England for
many years, who as governor general of
Sahara, is organizing a military estab-
lishment for M. Lebaudy, said today to
the Associated Press:
''The Imperial Life guards will con-
sist of two battalions. The first will
be officered exclusively by Americans,
preferably former Rough Riders. and
the second by retired officers and nom
commissioned officers of the English
army. The troopers will be composed
of Arabs and native Saharans, who are
among the finest riders in the world"

Victoria. B. c.. Jan. l9.-Advices
were brought by the steamer Tosa Maru
that the Red Cross hospital ships Ka-
kuai Maru and Kosai Maru, chartered
from the Nippon Yusen Kaisha line,
are now ready for service in the event
of war. Vladivostok harbor has been
frozen over In this connection the
Hochi of Toxic says telegram has re-
ported that four vessels have been
caught in the ice and will hold all
winter.
A Seoul correspondent says the wife
of the Russian minister has become
very influential at the Russian court
and that, owing to this influence, the
Russian minister has been enabled to
make compact with the Corean en-
perorer whereby he may take refuge at
the Russian legation in the event of
war and issue all administrative orders
from the Russian legation.

FOR GREAT CREAMERY.
Building Secured in Portland for Largest
Plant In the West.

fldnG LII the wcSIs
Portland, Jan. 21.-One of the larg-
est and most completely equipped
creameries in the world is to be estab-
lished in Portland. It is to have Ca
pacity of 900 pounds of butter day,
and special efforts are to be made to
develop the dairy industry of Oregon.
1t will be 20 times as large as any now
in Portland, much larger than any in
Oregon and, in fact, the largest west of
Lincoln, Neb. Cream will be shipped
into the city from radius of 800 miles
until the dairying industry has been
sufficiently developed to supply the de-
mand from this state. Every product
of the creamery will be supplied from
the Hazelwood creamery company,
which now has plants operating in Spo-
kane, Lincoln, Topeka and Sioux City.
The plant in Sioux City is the largest
in the world.
The Haywood building, on Fourth
and Oak streets, has been leased by the
company and will be fitted for the local
plant. The lease was closed yesterday
and the work of fitting the building for
the reception of the machinery will
at once. It is expected that
the plant will be ready for operation by
Mar, h l. It will have a capacity of
20, 900 pounds of butter day at first,
but the machinery will be so installed
that it may be increased to 1000
pounds at any time that the demand
warrants.

MANcHuRIATHE ISSUE.
Japanese Demands Cannot Be Granted
by RuGsia.

Japanese DemanoS cannot Be Granted
by Russia.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 2O.-The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent on high
authority, is able to give the following
as the present status Of negotiations be-
tween Russia and Japan:
Russia recognizes Japan's predomi-
nance in Corea and Japan recognizes
Russia's special position in Manchuria.
There are two main questions still
at issue, the Russian demand for q
neutral zone upon the Corean side Of
the Yalu river, which Japan met with
a proposal for similar neutral strip
on the Manchurian side Japan also
asks for certain guarantees covering
Manchuria, which Russia has thus far
declined to grant. It is pointed out,
however, 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.. Kur-
ino, the japanese minister to the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent:
"War now would only be. disastrous
to both countries. Owing to the geo.
graphical situation, an armed conflict
would result in great drain on the
men and treasury of both Japan and
Russia, without being decisive. Be.
sides, I believe it would not be worth
while to go to war on the questions
still in dispute.''

NOT A JUNKETINd TRIP.
Senatorial Subcommittee Had Light Bx-
penses In Honolulu Inspection.

Senatorial Subcommittee Had Light Ex-
penses In Honolulu Inspection.
Washington, Jan. 2O.-Accounts rem
dered to the senate by Senator Mitchell
show that the subcommittee which Wis
tied Hawaii in the summer of 1902 ex-
pended, only $3,O39 in gathering and
formulating data and information for
the benefit of the senate.
This would scarcely justify the as
sertion that the trip of the subcommit-
tee on territories was ''junket," for,
considering the distance travelled and
the amount of information collected, it
is, without a doubt, one of the cheap
est investigations ever conducted by a
subcommittee from congress.
But of the total amount $54O was
paid out as steamship fare for the mem
bers of the party from San Francisco to
Honolulu and return, and $1,026 was
disposed of in settling the hotel account
at Honolulu.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
OWNERSHIP IN DOUBT.



John Day.. G. Knapp, a wealthy
lumberman of the firm of Knapp &
Brewer, is in town making an attempt
to settle the question of ownership OF
several claims in the Black Butte group
of mines. He has held conference
with the manager of the mine, Ed c..
Allen, of Portland, but no settlement
has so far been reached.
The land in'question is just outside
of the forest reserve lines, Is miles
north of John Day, and has been held
partly as quartz and partly as placer
mining ground, for number of years.
The upper workings of the main lead
were worked out few years ago, but
the ground was patented. The outside
claims were represented in yearly as
sessment work by the group system of
and as some of them
were heavily timbered, they were
scripped by the Knapp & Brewer COM
pany under the direction of Cruiser
Johnson.
Notwithstanding the fact that many
thousands of quartz and placer gold
have been taken from these claims, Mr..
Allen says that an affidavit of their
nonmineral character was made when
scrip was placed on the land.
A number of wealthy Pendleton cap
italists are stockholders in the mining
company, and it is understood that
United States District Attorney Hall is
the matter. Work on
the property will be actively resumed
should the company's title be confirmed.

No Lack of Naval Officers Soon.

Washington, Jan. 21.-According to
the testimony of Captain Brownson,
superintendent of tie naval academy,
before the house committee on naval
affairs, the United States will have
naval officers in 1907 to man all naval
vessels. There will be an increase in
the classes graduating each year. Cap
tain Brownson declared the practice of
hazing in the academy was being elm
mated. He spoke strongly against the
passage of the Lacey bill to restore the
three cadets recently dismissed from
the academy for hazing.

Washington, Jan. 20.-The report of
Commissioner of Navigation Chamber
lain to the secretary of commerce and
labor for the six months ending Decem-
ber 81, 1908, shows that during the
last six months of the calendar year

RUSSIA PUT OUT.
Ratification of Chinese Treaty by Amer
lea Held Undiplomatic.


London. Jan. 21.-The Port Arthur
correspondent of the Daily Mail cables
that he has had an interview with Ad-
miral Aiexieff, the Russian viceroy in
the Far East, who spoke hopefully of
arranging modus vivendi with Japan.
The viceroy then referred the eorre-
spondent to his diplomatic agent, M.
Plancon, who emphasized the impossi-
bility of Russia's evacuation of Man
churia, and said:
"Orders were given six months ago
to evacuate Niu Chwang and Man
churia, provided the Chinese would
agree to simple terms, but owing to
the intrigues of the Japanese minister
with the Wal WI Pu {Chinese foreign
board) these orders were counter
manded."
M. Plancon declared that the action
of the United States, in making a COM
mercial treaty with China, without
Russia's consent, under existing cir
cumstances, was unfriendly and undip-
lomatic. Russia, he said, would not
open or allow consuls at Mukden and
An Tung under the present regime.
If Japan wanted Corea, Russia, M.
Plancon said, would not interfere, pro-
vided other powers allowed it, and he
added: "Russia did not ask Japan's
consent to occupy Manchuria; neither
was it necessary for japan to seek Rus
sia's permission to establish a protec-
torate in Corea.''
M. Plancon concluded by saying that
the United States and other nations
were more interested in the situation
than was Russia.

ON The SIDR OF FAIR. !,


Washington, Jan. l9.-The HEARING
before the house committee on interna-
tlonal expositions today developed the
fact that the committee is in favor of
recognizing the Lewis and Clark emo
sition by government participation.
and an appropriation, which will aid
IN commemoriating the wonderful expe-
dltion of the explorers who made the
wonderful overland journey to the Pa
cific Northwest.
Chairman Tawney of the committee
said after the hearing:
1.-The Lewis and Clark expedition
was of sufficient Importance to warrant
celebration and the participation of
the government of the United States -
The program now is to have the Ore
gon exposition committee, the delepa.
tion and subcommittee of the honse
committee confer and draft a bill
which will meet the approval of the
house committee and secure a report
upon it at an early day.
1t is fully understood that to secure
favorable action in the house the bill
must conform to the ideas of the com.
mittee and though such bill NAV not
be all that is wanted, it is desirable to
get report and action by the house as
soon as possible. Representative
Tawney will consult the state depart
ment regarding the form of the bill in
reference to foreign exhibits. He has
taken hold of the matter in earnest and
at the hearing today Representative
thanked him for the inter-
est he had shown.
The Oregon men feel that substan-
tial progress hasf been made by the
meeting today. The Portland commit
tee finds it necessary, in view of the
and deelopments, to remain
in Washington while longer, in order
to confer with the house subcommittee
upon the draft of another bill.
