COLOMBIA HEARS REASON
Ready to Come to Terms for Settle
ment of Panama Controversy
With United States.

Agreement has virtually been reached
respecting terms for final settlement Of
the long g-standing and bitter controversy
between the United States and Colombia
over the separation of Panama. This is
indicated by advices from Bogota re-
ceived here yesterday.
1t is said that only minor details re-
main to be arranged between Minister
Thompson and the Colombian govern
ment. The perfected agreement may be
reached in about three weeks.
The attitude of President Wilson on
Panama canal tolls is said to have aided
materially in Fastening the negotiations
to an amicable conclusion. Colombia, ac-
cording to reports. has abandoned the
demand that merchant vessels of that
country be allowed to pass through the
canal free. on an equal footing with
American coastwise vessels under the
existing law.
President Wilson's request for repeal of
the exemption clause of the law and the
passage of q repeal bill by the House are
said to have satisfied the Colombian off,
cials that ground for their demand prac-
tically had been eliminated.
When the negotiators have perfected
their agreement it will be drafted in the
form of treaty and submitted to the
Colombian congress for approval before
it goes to the United States Senate for
ratification. 1t is expected that the
president of Colombia will call a special
session of congress for this purpose, as
there will be no regular session until next
July.
