way Disasters.
Three propositions were presented to
the United States in the note regarding
the Panama situation which Gen,
Reyes special representative of Colom-
bia, has submitted to the state depart
ment at Washington. They are:
First-That the status existing prior
to the revolution on the isthmus should
be restored.
Second--That the United States
should keep hands off while Colombia
tries to bring Panama into submission.
Third--That If the United States will
accept neither of the preceding propo-
sitons she should pay damages to CO.
lombia for the injury inflicted through
the loss Of territory and that amount
should be fixed through submission Of
the case to the arbitration of The
Hague court.
No publication of the text of the
Reyes note is expected until 1t is sent
to congress in connection with other
documents bearing on the Panama
case. 1t is a lengthy communication
and is based entirely on the Colombian
Interpretation of the treaty of 1916 and
the duties devolving upon the United
States in connection Herewith. The
note says that failure on the part of
the United States to heed the protest of
Colombia, or to accept either PROPOSE
tion submitted, will result in the sew
erance of diplomatic and commercial
relations between the two countries.
Secretary Hay is suffering from a
bronchial trouble and will go early in
the month to Thomasville, Ca for a
visit to Col Oliver Payne. The mild
climate there has helped the secretary
before, and it is hoped may again prove
an effective cure.
