COLUMBIA
WON'T FIGHT
Secretary Roots Statement on the
ISthmuS Case-NO War
Preparations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. -. - Shortly
after the cabinet meeting Secretary
Root issued the following statement re-
gardng the isthman policy of the ad-
mnistration:
The publication in various quarters
of news indicating that the government
is preparing to send troops to the 18TH
mus to carry on military operations
against Colombia has been the source
of considerable annoyance TO the eXecu-
tive and to the war department. No
state of war exists between the two
countries; no Inauguration of hOstilities
is contemplated by this government;
no preparation for war is being made.
1T is not believed by the president
nor by the secretary Of state that any
occasion for the employment of troops
on the isthnus is likely to arise. They
have used their utmost efforts to CON
vince General Reyes and the Bogota Of
icals Of the friendly intentions Of this
government toward Colombia and their
readiness to use their good offices in the
settlement Of any questions in dispute
between Colombia and Panama.
1T is difficult for them to believe
that the authorities in Bogota can be so
blinded 10y passion and prejudice as TO
declare war against us. and even if
this ruinous step should be taken by
Colombia this government would be in
no haste to respond to her challenge.
The president makes all possible allow
ances for the natural excitement in Bo-
gotta over q state of things for which
the Colombian government is alone re-
sponsible and of which 1t was fully
forewarned
But the Colomlians must sooner or
later recognize the irresistible force of
accomplished facts. and the sooner this
is done the better for all parties. We
have done them no wrong. We would
like TO he of service to them. If they
are wise they will not put it out OF our
power to help them by any act of rash
ness and violence"
General Reyes prior to his departure
from Washington in an interview with
Secretary Hay arranged for further
consideration between representatives
Of the two governments of the Panama
matter.
A Colon dispatch says that the Unit
ed States naval authorities appear to
be convinced from the tenor of the re-
ports which are continually brought in
that Colombia Is determined TO send
an army to attack Panama.
The Panamanian authorities here re-
ccived official confirmation Of the fact
that the Colombian troops at Titumati
number at least 4.949 men under the
command of Generals Ortiz, Tribe
Tribe, Bustamcnte and NovO.
1t is expected that all the warships
will leave Colon today for the purpose
of making a demonstration along the
San Bias coast The vessels will land
an attacking force the moment infor-
nation reaches them that Colombian
troops have crossed into Panama terri
tory.
