0. KS COLOMBIA PACT
SENATE COMMITTEE APPROVES
TREATY WITH SOME CHANGES.
Foreign Relations Body Makes Amount
to Be Paid $25, ooo,o 900 Instead
of SIS, 100000.

Washington, March 14.-The senate
foreign relations committee approved
in modified form the treaty with Co
lombia by which the United States
would pay that republic S25,00O,000
for the separating of Panama from
Colombia. 1t will be pressed TO a vote
in the present special session of the
senate.
Important changes were made in the
treaty. Instead of an expression of
sincere regret" by the United States
for the secession of Panama, the new
treaty contains joint expression of
regret by the United States and Colon
bia for any incidents that have married
the friendly feeling between the two
nations.
A special article has Colombia ac-
knowledge the title of the United
States to the Canal zone.
An amendment to the original treaty,
attached last session. reducing the
payment from S25,O0O,000 to $4,000
600, was stricken out.
Republican opposition is expected to
be allayed to some extent by the
changes. but still there are some SEN
ators as much opposed as ever.
AS the treaty has been changed, a
new ratification by Colombia would be
necessary.

WILL HALT STRIKE.
Strike Orders Deceived by Workers at
Chicago-Certain Trains TO Run
Five Days.

Chicago, March 14.-Railroad Off
Gals of the United States look to Presi-
dent Wilson to avert a strike.
This information reached Chicago
during the day. It was also said at
the New York meeting on Thursday the
general conference committee Of rail-
road managers definitely will refuse to
grant the basic eight-hour day with
ten hours pay.
Then, it is believed, the president
Will intervene. The strike situation
has been in his hands since he called
the brotherhood and railroad officials
TO Washington last August.
1t was also learned brotherhood ex-
ecutives had notified the memberships
that the United States commission on
mediation and Cancellation would not
be permitted to intercede after the ex-
pected break IN negotiations at New
York tomorrow.
For that reason the railroad Off
Gals believe the president will call the
leaders to Washington and use his In
fluence against the strike set tentative
ly for Saturday.
All local and general chalrmen of
employees of the railroads where the
strike will be effective received cir
culars signed by the chief brotherhood
executives, in which the plan of cam
paign is outlined. After a detailed
statement Of the action taken in Cleve-
land Saturday it states:
while we are prepared for the
worst, the die is cast. There Is no
turning back. But we hope and be-
lieve a strike can be won without the
passenger men leaving the service.
"If it becomes necessary to leave the
service on any property, we will not
hesitate to call upon as many lines as
necessary to make this movement a
success; and while it is necessary for
some system or group of lines to make
the issue first, our confidence in our
membership on all the lines is the same
should it be necessary to call on them"
The chief executive also explained
why the passenger, milk and mail
trains will be permitted to run for hVe
days. They state the object is to in
convenience the public as little as pos
sible, but it is also pointed out in
strikes that last any time, passenger
trains are run to greater or less inter-
walls.
If the general conference commit
tee rejects the brotherhood utimatum
and President Wilson fails to inter
vene, the first strike will begin at . p.
m, eastern time, Saturday night.

ing they were traitors about to be cap

to the outskirts.
1t appears from the dispatches,
which are incomplete, that the Munoz
forces took the city by a coup within
it aud before the Menocal troops
marching on Santiago had arrived.
Munoz previously had declared him
self loyal to President Menocal and the
government and at his request Ameri-
can forces numbering 400 were landed
