REGRET U. S. TREATY ACTION
France and Japan Disappointed at
"virtuaI Rejection" by tho
Senate.

Paris, March 12.-The action Of the
United States senate on the question
of the arbitration treaties is regard
cd in semiofh circles here as
tantamount to their virtual rejection.
There is some hope. however, that
new negotiations may be begun and
tnat at a later period the United
States senate may restore the general
arbitration treaties with Great Britain
and France to a form which will be
worth while.
Tokyo, March 1.-THE fate of the
general arbitration treaties in the
United States senate has caused great
disappointment here. Deep regret is
expressed by many influential per-
sonages here that Japan gave her
friendly consent to the modification OF
the Anglo-Japanese alliance by the
introduction of article w., which says:
Should either high contracting party
conclude a treaty OF general arbitra-
ton with third power. 1T is agreed
that nothing in this agreement shall
entail on such contracting party an
obligation to go to war with the pow
er with whom such treaty OF arbitra'
ton is in force"

q broken rail and four cars left the
track and plunged down an embank-

The thick ice coating of the stream
acted as a check to the rush of the
cars and kept them from sliding into
deep water, while the steel construc-

in special dispatches from Colon. The
volcano is said 10 underlie the Culebra
cut and it is stated that 1.-THE report OF
the division engineer at Culebra is
rather pessimstic."
The fear OF volcanic trouble had its
origin in the fact that clouds of steam
and blue smoke have been rising from
newly turned ground. Every drill hole
in the affected area is tested with a
thermometer before dynamite is put
In, to prevent a premature explosion.
The division engineers report Of
the phenomenon is, in part, as follows:
Three weeks ago noticed that the
locality described which consisted OF
a strattied scdimentary rock in which
there appeared some Ignite of low
grade. was sending up a thick cloud
OF white steam or vapor. examined
the spot and found that the entire
mass was heated to high tempera'
turc.
Steam was escaping from numer.
GUS small openings and from four prin-
cipal vents. The sides of two Of the
vents were cncrustcd with white and
yellow appearing TO be sulphur
within the last five days there has
been quite a change in two important
characteristics. The temperature has
increased and pale blue smoke, in
stead of steam, is now emerging from
the vents.
ITO give an idea of the temperature
Of the larger vent. ! took a piece OF
white pine and held it for three min.

declares that tho steam and smoke are
due 'only to tho oxidation of pyrites
