War win Colombia Unlikely.

Gen REYES, the Colomb bian representative
who came to Washington hoping TO make
some arrangement for the restoration OF
Colon bian sovereignty in Panama, mas
left for nome again, his mission having
proven futile. The most that he could Sc
cure was an offer from Panama that Il
would pay one million Of the ten million
it is to receive from the United states on
account OF the canal to Colombia, as ITS
proportion OF the government debt. Inau
the administration doesn't expect war with
Colombia is shown by q statement given
out by Secretary Root Tuesday, in which
he says, alt il di rcult to believe the au-
thorities in Bogota can be so blinded by
passion and prejudice as TO declare war
against us, and even II this rninous step
should be taken by the Colombians TINS
government weuld be in no haste to
respond to her calling.o He says that no
preparation for war has been made by the
tinted States and that there is no probt-
bility that troops win be required at the
Isthmus. This statement was made 10
contradict certain press reports. Colon.
bian troops have been landed on an island
of sIicaragua which belongs TO that gov
ernment, where sentiment favorable 20
union with the new Panama republic has
been manifested.

Eastern Crisis Not Yet Past.

The Far Eastern situation continues
critical Russia's reply to Japan's com
munication was received last week. II
made some concessions, but whether sum-
cient to satisfy Japan and prevent war Is
still unknown Japan has prepared an
other note to Russia which, 1t is stated,
will be final. Russia, in her note, offered
to recognize Japanese preponderance IN
the southern wo-thirds OF Corea, Dnt
asked that the northern third be neutral
ized. so that neither Russia nor Japan
could establish itself therein. Russia also
agreed to give all powers with treaties re-
specting Manchuria assurances that their
treaty rights already acquired should moi
be molested by Russia. Russia wanted
the strait between Corea and Japan leit
free for the passage of Russian ships
The opinion prevails in Russia that these
concessions should make war Impossible,
but at Toxic the sentiment expressed Is
less favorable toward peace. Japan mas
officially denied that she has sent heavy
body of troops to Corea. Several nations
represented at Seoul, the Corean capital.
Including the United States, have landed
guards TO protect their legations there.
The two cruisers that Japan purchased at
Genoa sailed hurriedly from that port last
week with mixed crews. Several Russian
war vessels are not far distant and may
try to prevent their reaching Japan, II war
should come. The fact that stocks rallied
the first OF the week indicates that IN n
nancial circles hostilities are considered
less probable than last week. The Chinese
government has exchanged ratiiicatlons OF
the important Manchurian treaty with tne
United States. which was urgently desired
before hostilities might break out.
