a matter of public knowledge that the
mother country commands sufficient
forces to subdue a revolution. General
Reyes continues:

"A child!" said Mrs. Moran.
"A girl, then. little mite of a

Captain carried her in his arms to

Manor"
Then Cornelia said a hasty good
night and went to her room. She
was sick at heart: she trembled,
something in her life had lost its
foothold and sudden bewildering
terror-she knew not how to explain
took possession of her.
She buried her face in her pillow
and wept bitterly. Alas! Alas! Love

churia, which Russia thus far has de-
clined to grant. 1t is pointed out, how
ever, that the assurance given n few
days ago by Russia regarding open
ports in Manchuria and respect for
treaty rights is a concession on this
point.
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 a great drain on the men and
treasury Of both Japan and Russia,
without being decisive. Besides, be-
lieve it would not be worth while to go
to war on the questions still in dis
pute." There is a strong indication
that through the cars personal acts
the peace party is completely in the
ascendant.

He suffered in this decision, sui

as Hyde did. He saw clearly that
Cornelia had never loved him, that
his hopes had always been vain. and
he experienced all the bitterness OF
being sighted and humbled for an
| enemy.
He felt a sudden haste to escape
himself, and selling his hat walked
rapidly to his fathers Office. Peter

question in his eyes hardly needed
the simple interrogatory-

CoLOMBiA'S CLAIMS.
Declares Conspiracy Was Formed to
Organize Republic Of Panama.

President Roosevelt transmitted to
the senate Monday additional CORE
spondence touching the relations OF
the United States with Colombia and
Panama, covering the period from De-
cember %. 1908, to January 6 last. A
statement Of grievances on the part Of
Colombia was presented to the state
department by General Reyes on De-
cember %. 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
the Hay-Herran treaty that the same
course was followed in Bogota as was
pursued In Washington. II the treaty
he said, had been rejected in Washing
ton, the disapproval would have In.
Tolved no grievance for Colombia and
that the Colombian congress In its
dlsapproval of the treaty simply exer-
cised vested right. This action, he
maintained, did not dsqualify the Co.
lombian government for the conclusion
OF another treaty.
AS to the recognition OF the republic
OF Panama, General Reyes says 1t Is
