inserted in Mr.. Molgans speech.
Mr.. Morgan said this was in the pal

whether Or not 1t was true.
Air. Spooner wanted TO know if Mr..
Morgan questioned the action of the rep
rcsentatives of the United States in
warning tho Colombian gunboat Bogota
from bombarding Panama, in view Of the
iuct that the bombardment was being
made without the time warning required
by the rules governing internatio war.
fare.
Mr.. Morgan maintained that the Bogota
was warned away, not because n wolff
ton OF international rules OF war had
been made, but she was warned not to
make any bombardmcnt at any time.
This fact, he said, made the United
States Il belligerent with Panama against
Colombia. This attitude was continued

force go from Colon to Panama on the
railroad or any other road,
These acts OF hostility and defiance

MI Morgan criticised the dealings be-
