WILSON OBJECTS TO REDUCTION
Colombian Treaty Not Approved or
Account of Reduction.

ACCOUNT OF fHSOQCIIOtts
Washington.-Presid Wilson has
not approved the amendments to the
Colombian treaty reported by the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee, and
Democrats in the senate are by no
means unanimously in favor of them.
1t developed that strong effort
probably will be made in the senate
to defeat the changes which would
reduce the proposed indemnity to
Colombia for the partition of Pana-
ma from $25,OOO,OOO to $15,O00,00O and
revise the expression Of regret that
anything should have marred the re-
lations between the two countries so
as to make it mutual instead on the
part of the United States alone.
Minister Betancourt of Colombia,
called on Secretary Lansing during
the day and was assured that the
President had not given his approval
to either of the amendments. Later
it became known that many of the
Democrats, of the Foreign Relations
Committee opposed the changes.
A Republican. Senator Smith of
Michigan, by changing his vote on
tie in the senate, carried the amend
ment reducing the indemnity to $15,-
100000.

English and a French cruiser patrol
the Atlantic coast in the vicinity of

not wait the departure of the Appam

other German prizes or sea raiders,
