THEY BUTTED IN
FOREIGNERS RESPONSIBLE FOR
MOVES IN PANAMA..
Rat ificatiOn of Hay-Herran Treaty
Blocked by Meddling of Euro
pean Governments 80 Germany
Sought to Acquire Island at
Mouth of Canal.

Washington, Feb. S.-The interfer-
ence of foreign governments to prevent
the ratictiation of the Hay -Herran
treaty between the United States and
Colombia is clearly proven by the COR
respondence just sent to the senate in
confidence by the president in response
to the Culberson resolution.
The documents include dispatches
between Ministers Hart and Beaupre,
at Bogota, and the state department,
relative to the Hay Herran treaty, the
reasons for its rejection, and the med
ding of those representing foreign gov
ernments.
Among these documents are cable
grams calculating to prove that Ger
many sought to acquire from Colombia
an island in the harbor of Cartagena
for a coaling station, notwithstanding
the Monroe doctrine. This island
would enable that power to virtually
control the canal when constructed.
Minister Hart promptly notified the
state department of these negotiations.
There are also dispatches intended to
show that there was secret interference
at BOgota by representatives of Euro
pean nations, notably Germany and
France, to prevent the ratification of
the treaty.
Others indicate that representative
went from Bogota to Berlin for the
purpose of seeking to sell either to the
German government direct or syndi-
cate of capitalists representing the
government, the shares of stock owned
by Colombia in the new Panama Ca
nal Company, and to encourage the
purchase of that company's conces-
sions and property by syndicate COM
posed of British, German and French
financiers.
1t is indicated that the assembling
of large American fleet in Colombian
waters was first brought about by an
ticipated action of the French govern
ment in sending warships to Colon to
project the canal property, representa-
tons having been made at Paris that
it would he threatened by a revolution
on the isthmus.
There is further correspondence in
dicating the apprehension of the
American representative at Bogota,
that some European powers would at
tack Colombia or possibly seize the
neutral zone because of unpaid debts.

The fact has also been demonstrated
that there was much to learn in max

Many of the large Western cattle
ranches have been broken up by the
increase Of irrigation. which makes
smaller farms more profitable In pro.
portion than ranches. 1t has been pre-
dicted that before many years nearly
all cattle will be raised on small farms

that the free Government land once
occupied by the cattlemen is being rap

President Sends Panama Cores

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE president
has sent to the senate mass of cores
pondence in response to Senator Cor
mans resolution calling for dates and
circumstances under which the United
States used military forces in the inter
nal affairs of New Granada or Colon
bia, and whether such uses of military
forces were on the initiative of the
United States or by request of New
Granada or Colombia in consequence
of any official representation of either.
The resolution also called for copies
Of the orders by the navy department
relating to such use of military forces.
The circumstances under which forces
were landed are given by the president
in detail, but the orders by the war
and navy departments concerning the
workinsg of such departments and
which will constitute part of the re-
cords of the Office of military and ma
val intelligence are withheld on the
ground that the disclosures of such
confidential matters would be incom-

this it appears United States forces
have been landed on the isthmus of
Panama ten times from October, 1865,

landing being the only one made with
