ever, that the assurance given Z few
days ago by Russia regarding open

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 great drain on the men and

! President Roosevelt transmitted to

the United States with Colombia and
Panama, covering the period from De-
cember 23. 1908, to January last. A
statement of grievances on the part of
Colombia was presented to the state
department by General Reyes on De-
cember 20. 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
