Panama, Jan. 29.-News comes from Bogota that inasmuch as General Reyes and Cavallero have assured Colombia that the United States will object to her iands ing forces oniy Ill tns S...-. -..- ..e8 Colombian Government intends to send au expedition against Panama.

sTATIsT ADVANCES PLAN.
Suggests Council Similar to That of
 Rerfiu

London, Jan. @.--The Statist today, fEa q long article on the Russo-Japanese sittia- ton, makes a suggestion for the solution of the difficulty which seems to meet the claims and contentious of both Rus sia and Japan.
 After commenting on the advantage of the Chino-American treaty, which, it says, If carried out, would assure an open door in Manchuria, The Statist continues as follows:
 When Russia was at the gates of Con- stantinople and practically had dictated peace to Turkey. Great Britain interfered and the result was the Berlin congress. Is there any good reason why the world should wait for the conclusion of war to summon a similar council? Would 1t not be a more statesmanlike, and certainly more humane, to summon such a council now in order to prevent war.
 Would 1t not be possible for the Rus- sian Government to sell its railways in Chinese territory to an international syn dicate, all the powers guaranteeing the safety and the interests of this syndl- cate? In that way 1t seems. to us the real rights of Russia in Manchuria would be safeguarded, while the apprehensions entertained by Japan that Russian exten- sion threatens her very existence would be permanently removed"

THE POLICY OF TAFT.
The Philippines for the Filipinos
 the Keynote,

Washington, Jan. l9.-The Philippines for the Filipinos will be the keynote of the policy of Secretary Taft toward the Far Eastern archipelago.

This speech has been published by the insular government in an official form and has just reached the War Department.
 In 1t Governor Taft declared that this doctrine did not exclude the encourage ment of American enterprise or the Amer- ican investment of capital in the Philip pine Islands for the reason that nothing, not even education or free form of government, can make more for the ele- vation and civilization of the Filipino peo- pie than the investment of American cap ital in the material development of these islands"
