disputes and differences with the Re-
public of Colombia occasioned by
events which have brought about the
present situation in the Isthmus of
Panama, in it's name and in the name
of the people of the United States, ex-
presses sincere regret for anything
that may have interrupted or altered
the relations of cordial friendship ex-
listing long between the two nations.
Colombia, in her name and in the
name of the people of Colombia, az
cepts this declaration in the full as.
surance that in this way will disappear
all obstacles to the restoration of COM
plete harmony between the two coun-
tries"
The treaty provides that Colombia
shall enjoy freely and in perpetuity
free passage through the Panama
Canal for her troops, stores and war
ships" and stipulates also that six
months after the exchange of ratifica-
tions of the treaty the sum of $25,00O,--
900 shall be paid to Colombia.
The article relating to the canal
provides also for commercial advant-
ages in favor of Colombian products
imported into the Canal Zone and for
special advantages in the railway
traffic of Panama when the canal serv-
ice is interrupted for any reason and
when it is needed for Colombian
agents and troops and for war stores
from Colombia.

independent nation, which shall termi-
nate on the Pacific Ocean at points

1.-THE United States undertakes to

of Panama of an agent to negotiate

DE LA BARRA's POSITION.
Would Accept Provisional Presidency
If Satisfactory.

Paris.-Francesco De La Barra,
Huerta's minister here, when asked
whether he would accept the provi-
sional presidency of Mexico, made an
evasive answer leaving the impression
that he would do so if the acceptance
satisfied both parties. Discussing the
situation in Mexico, he said. 81 do
not think that the United States naval
demonstration is to be followed by
other strong measures, but the effect
of President Wilson'S latest move will
be to show all my countrymen the need
of unity-not for joint action against
America, but for the welfare of their
fatherland."

PRESIDENT TELLS CONGRESS ARMED

Huera Only Enemy Wilson Makes Plan--No Fight With
Mexican People and No Foot of Territory Will Be
Permanently Held By U. S. He Declares

!, hope, in no circumstances, be forceo
into war with the people of Mexico.
Mexico is torn by civil strife. Ii we
are to accept the tests of its own Con-
stitution, it has no government. Cen
eral Huerta has set his power up In
the Gity Of Mexico, such as it is, With
out right and by methods for which
there can be no justification. Only part
of the country is under his control.
1T armed conflict should un-
happily come as a result Of his at
titude of personal resentment to-
UdrdS this Government lre should
be fighting only General Haerfd
and those lUhO adhere to him and
giUe him their support, and our
object 1ooald be only to restore to
the people of this distracted re-
public the opportunity to set up
again their ol0B ldtCS and their
oVn government.
But l earnestly hope that war is
not now in question. l believe that l
speak for the American people when
say that we do not desire to control
in any degree the affairs of our sister
republic. Our feeling for the people
of Mexico is one of deep and genuine
friendship, and everything that we
have so far done or refrained from
doing has proceeded from our desire
to help them, not to hinder or en-
barrass them.

mo doubt l could do what is neces-

President; but do not wish to act In
a matter possibly of so grave conse-
quence except in close conference and
cooperation with both the Senate and
House.
II, therefore, come to ASK your
approval that / should use the
armed forces of the United States
in such a0dys and to such an ec-
tent as may be necessary to obtain
