Roosevelt transmitted to the senate
today additional correspondence touch
ing the relations of the United States
with Colombia and Panama, covering
the period from December 26. 1908, to
January 6, last.
A statement of grievances ON the
part of Colombia was presented to the
state department by General Reyes
December %, in which he says that
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 between the two governments.
Reyes deals minutely with various
phases of the questions at issue, aud
in discussing the rejection of the
Hay-lIerran treaty by Colombia he
expresses the conviction that the
treaty would have been approved with
amendments that would probably have
been acceptable to the United States,
had not the minister at Bogota re-
peatedIy declared in the most positive
manner that his government would re.
iest any amendments that might be
offered.
Summing up General Reyes said;

force the United States prevented the
landing of Colombian troops; because,
even before the separatists' movement
was known in Bogota, the United

the departure Of Colombian batalllons;
because Without precedent established

He then appeals to the sentiments OF
justice animating the United States
to act with wisdom in this crisis. and
concludes with the suggestion that the
matter be submitted to The Hague

Secretary Hay replied under date ol
January :. The questions submitted
/ he says, can be considered only In the
/ light of accomplished facts. Of which
the most important Is that Panama has
become a member of the family oi
