COLOMBIA DESIRES PEACE
Joint Negotiations with Panama
and America Likely.

Panama, Jan. 15.-Representatives OF the
Colombian government, according 10 word
received here. are still in conference with
Dr Carlos Mendoza the special represen-
tatiYe Of Panama who went 20 Bogota
several weeks ago for the purpose OF ne
-ouating a treaty Of peace. President Aro-
stmena recently issued a statement that
the Pamanan government mad hopes that
Dr. Mendoza would reach an agreement
with Colon bia. and II is now reported that
1T Mendoza has been informed that the
Colon bian government IS desirous Of set
.ilg its differences with Panama. II must
Hrst settle its differences. however, with
the United states resulting from the events
q 1893 when Panama separated from the
mother country and became a republic It
IS expected that thesc latter differences
will soon be arranged equitably.
Among the points objected 10 by Colon
Ria in the tripartite treaty is that Of the
boundary line fixing the limitations Of the
TWO republics. This treaty was signed by
Secretary Root FOR the United States, Min
is.e~ Cortez for Colombia and Minister
A-oseuena for Panama. 1t was ratified
by the United States and Panama, but Co.
Iom1!s refused 10 ratify it.
Co'gnbia's representa- lives will submit 10
their government Dr.. Mendoza proposals,
and IL is probable that an endeavOr win be
made To enter into negotiations with Pan
anna Jointly with the United States.

destination abroad II would be delivered
upon the surrender Of the spurious bill Of
ladiug despite the fact that the spurious
/ bills differed in date and number and In
other respects from the shippers manifest.
II is further alleged that this practice Of
, Knight. Yancey a. Co. was we'll known TO
the shippers and was connived at by the
officers OF the railroads. and that upon
