Marroquin asserts that since 1S35 they
have granted canal privileges to differ
ent companies no less than nine times,
and claims that the treaty concluded
with the late General Hurlbut, when
he was United States Minister to Co
lombia at Bogota, July 8, 1S70, has been
Ignored at Washington. After giving
the previously stated reasons for the
Colombian Senate's failure to approve
the Hay-Herran treaty and asserting
that the delay in the negotiations had
not affected the ultimate issue of the
canal project, the protest of President
Marroquin points out that Colombia
had "constantly endeavored to -act in
a friendly manner with the United
States, even asking for the assistance
of American marines to insure free
transit across the isthmus," says the
rising occurred when the Government
was not prepared, having withdrawn
most of its troops when peace -was re
established last year, and concludes:
"The haste In recognizing the new
Government which sprung up under
these circumstances is all the more sur
prising to the Colombian Government,
as they recollect* the energetic opposi
tion of Washington to the acknowledg
ment of the belligerency of the Con
federates by the powers during j the
Civil War."
The cable message goes" on to say
that President Marroquin has energet
ically protested to the United States
and wishes that his protest should be
known throughout the. civilized world.
The President contends that the United
States has infringed article 35 of the
treaty of 1846, which, he asserts, im
plies the duty on the part of the United
States to help Colombia in maintain
ing her sovereignty over the isthmus,
and adds that the "Colombian Govern
ment repudiate the assumption that
they have barred the way to carrying
out the canal."
a LONDON, Nov. 16.— The Colombian
authorities have cabled to London a
lengthy protest against the United
States' action toward Panama, in which
they claim that the main responsibility
for the secession of Panama lies with
the United States Government—'/first
ly, by fomenting the separatist spirit,
of which there seems to be clear evi
dence; secondly, by hastily acknowl
edging the independence of the revolted
province, and finally, by prevenling the
Colombian Government using proper
means to repress the rebellion."

COLON, Nov. 16.— The Hamburg-
American Hne steamer Scotia, which
arrived off the coast yesterday and
which was believed to have on board
the Colombian General Reyes, reached
here to-day. She had among her pas
sengers a number of prominent Colom
bians, who formed a peace commission
from the Department of Bolivar. Gen
eral Reyes was not on board and the
vessel did not carry any Colombian
| troops. The Commissioners from Boli
var are Dr. Francisco Padvon. Dr. E.
Paraga, Senor Fanon Velefe, Dr. Nl
canor Insignares and General Demario
Dairla. The latter two are from Sa
vanilla and the former are from Car
1 tagena. Dr. Insignares is a brother of
! the Governor of Bolivar.
The United States battleship Maine,
which arrived here last night, is an
chored four miles off the harbor.
The captain of the Scotia, in an inter
view to-day, said:
"On our arrival here an American
naval officer boarded us from a steam
launch and asked if we had Colombian
troops or passengers on board. I in
formed him that we carried no troops,
but that we had as passengers five
prominent Colombians, forming a peace
commission, from the department of
Bolivar.
"We flew the .Colombian flag on
reaching the coast, in accordance with
the usual custom of the port. 1 We were
not required to haul it down. . •
"While we were boarded we at the
same time attempted to obey our
agents' signal ,to come along the dock,
but the Mayflower, which was nicely
handled, steamed around and occupied
a position between us and the dock,
thus hindering us from getting along
side. Therefore, as it was late, we
were compelled to anchor In the stream.
"On the invitation of the American
naval commander the Colombian Peace
Commissioners went on board the Dixie
early this morning."
The Commissioners said that both
Cartagena and Savanllla were ap
parently beginning to understand the
situation on the isthmus, and that the
inhabitants were only indulging in re
criminative and futile speeches and
threats. The Commissioners, previous
to sailing, had a conversation with the
United States Consul at Cartagena,
who made no mention of hostile demon
strations. They knew nothing of the
massing of troops at Cartagena or Sa
vanllla.
When the Scotia docked this morn-
Ing the approaches to the wharf were
guarded by Panama soldiers. The ma
rines landed by the Dixie yesterday
evening guarded the railroad buildings
and the town last night and re-em
barked this morning. .
Rear Admiral Walker, who arrived
here yesterday' with Gudger, the United
States Consul General at Panama, and
Superintendent Shaler of the Panama
Railway, went to Panama to-day.
American naval officers are boarding
all the vessels arriving here to ascer
tain If they have Colombian troops on
board previous to allowing them to
dock.
The Colombian Commissioners were
transferred from the Dixie to the May
flower this afternoon. A special train
from Panama; with representatives of
the Provisional Government, Is mo
mentarily expected. The Government
representatives will Immediately go
aboard the Mayflower to learn the pre
cise object of the commission. It Is
considered improbable that the Com
missioners are acting under the author
ity of the Government at Bogota.
The United States battleship Maine
has gone to Porto Bello to coal. It Is
expected that she will return to-mor

• r*^iy President Roosevelt's repre
i il sentative on the isthmus, and
Consul General Gudger, who is
here to direct the relations of the Uni
ted States with the de facto govern
ment, called at -the palace at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon, and. in the name
of the United States Government paid
their respects to the members of the
jiinta Rear Admiral Walker present
ed a letter from President Roosevelt
and there were mutual exchanges of
i good wishes. Otherwise the visit was
quite informal.
The visit of Rear Admiral W alker
and Gudger has been construed by the
junta and by the people of Panama as
a formal recognition of the new repub
lic, and has provoked many expressions
i of satisfaction and congratulations on
the new order of things. It is under
stood that Admiral Walker will report
to President Roosevelt on the isthmian
situation and act in an advisory ca-
I pacity to Gudger, who is well liked
here." Rear Admiral Walker returned
l to Colon this afternoon.
The junta to-day appointed a com
mission comoosed of Senores Arias and
Espinoza to" proceed at once to Colon
and confer, on board the United States
I steamer Mayflower, with the .Colom
j bians. who arrived there last night, on
! what is understood to be a peace mis
sion. The so-called peace commission
ers are from the Department of Boli
var, but it is not yet known whether
! they are authorized to represent the
• Bogota Government or whether they
' come on behalf of the Department of
! Bolivar to recognize the new republic.
i If the commissioners represent the Bo
j gota Government and are properly em
1 powered to and do recognize the new
i republic of Panama, the matter of re
• muneration to Colombia for the loss of
i the isthmus may be broached.
The Panamain commissioners are
i fully determined to do nothing that
! may in any way weaken the position of
i the young republic or endanger the in
' dependence of the isthmus. The repre
: sentatives of the junta left on a special
' train at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

the Senate, Washington— Excellency:
The Government and people of Colom
bia have been painfully surprised at tha
notification given by the Minister of
the United States to the effect that the
Government ,at Washington had has
tened to recognize the Government con
sequent upon a barracks coup in the
Departmentof Panama.
A proposal to authorize Senator Gor
man to appoint a committee of five to
devise a programme on which there
will be at least a fighting chance for
united action was made, and for a time
it appeared that a solution of the dif
ferences had been reached. Several
Senators left the caucus under the im
pression that this course would be
adopted, but objection was raised by
those Democrats who . had supported
Carmack's resolution and the caucus
then adjourned. .
It was said to-night by a member of
the Senate steering committee that the
minority party In all probability would
meet the question of canal legislation
without organization of any kind and
would act according, to Its individiual
opinions.
Censure for the President for his al
leged assistance of the Panama revolt
but pledging support if a canal treaty
were negotiated with the new repub
lic, was the purport of a resolution of
fered by Senator Bacon as a substitute
for the- Carmack plan. This opposite
extreme met immediate rejection. It
was at this point that some of the Sen
ators withdrew from the caucus '•
Two compromise plans were suggest
ed. The first was offered by Senator
Newlands, who proposed that the
steering committee be authorized to
hold a conference with a committee of
Democratic members cf the House to
be appointed by Representative John
Sharpe Williams, the House minority
leader, for Jhe purpose of preparing
some party policy on all matters which
will come Before the Senate In the ex
traordinary session. This resolution
was antagonized, on the ground that
the Democrats of the House have al
ready adopted this plan In regard to
the Cuban reciprocity enabling act, and
that any opinion the House may have
had on the canal treaty could not affect
the position of the Senate.
The resolution, which was discussed
at greatest length, was offered by Sen
ator Carmack of Tennessee, it de
clared the sentiment of the Democrats
to be that the present canal law
should be put into operation by the
President. The resolution declared the
Spooner act to be "the present law"'
governing the authoritative course of
the United States in regard to the
building of a canal and held that un
der that act the President should pro
ceed to the building of the canal on
the Nicaragua and Costa Rica route
It asserted that the "reasonable time"
for acquiring of the Panama route
lapsed at the death of the Hay-Her
ran treaty, and that the President, con
sequently, was left with no alternative
but to build the canal on the more
northerly isthmian route.
In support of this resolution speeches
were made by, Senators Carmack Du
bois. Teller, Blackburn, Patterson and
.others. The speeches were interrupted
by Senators differing from the propo
sition the principal arguments being
made by Senators Bacon, Clay and
Cockrell. It was apparent at the out
set that a motion of such radical char
acter could not harmonize the minor-
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.— Democratic
members ef the Senate caucused to-day
from 12:30 until 5 o'clock, but were un
able to get together on a programme as
to canal legislation. Four distinct prop
ositions were submitted in the form of
resolutions and many ether suggestions
were made Informally, but no agree
ment could be reached and the caucus
adjourned to meet again on call of Sen
ator Gorman, chairman. Several Sena
tors, on leaving the caucus, bitterly
complained of the lack of harmony
which prevailed, and compared the
Democratic position with the attitude
of the Republicans, who. they said, with
twice as many representatives, had not
a straggler, while hardly two Demo
crats wer e of the same opinion. Sena
tor Gorman said of the caucus:
"It was our first pow-wow. In which
we all talked, and we will do our think
ing afterward."

DEMOCRATS ARE AT SEA.
The action of President Marroquin in
sending a protest to the United States
Senate is regarded by diplomats here
as a serious breach of the proprieties,
but the matter probably will not be
dealt with in a harsh manner. Secre
tary Hay has not yet seen the protest,
but will read It to-morrow, and, un
officially, the President may see It, but
it is felt the communication might be
ignored entirely if the Government
chose to do so, in view of the extra
ordinary course taken in forwarding it.
Dr. Herran, the Colombian Charge
d' Affaires, has cabled his Government
that he is isolated here and asking for
immediate instructions. He received a
cablegram dated November 10 from an
official of the Bogota Government, but
it was of a personal nature arjd made
no reference to the isthmian matter. '
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.— In a
note "addressed to M. Bu
nau-Varilla, as Minister
Plenipotentiary and Envoy
Extraordinary of the Re
public of Panama, M. Jusserand, the
French Embassador, to-night officially
recognized the new Envoy and in
formed him he would be received at
the embassy to-morrow by his Excel
lency and duly recognized. The Em
bassador's action is in accordance with
the cablegram received from the
French Foreign Office to-day.
The Minister announced to-night
that J. P. Morgan & Co. had accepted
the appointment as financial agents In
the United State* of the Panama Re
public and that 5300,006 had been placed
to the credit of the Panama Govern
ment. The Minister received by cable
to-day full powers from his Govern
ment to address the Envoys of all
powers represented at Washington and
request recognition at their hands.
"Upon the arrival of the Marblehead
sufflcient^force must be sent to watch
movements closely of the British
steamers seized at Buena Ventura and
to prevent the landing of men with hos
tile intent within limits of the state of
Panama. Protect the British steamers
If necessary."
On the following day the Secretary
sent a dispatch to Admiral Glass say
ing that the British steamers had not
been detained, and asking if they left
with Colombian troops aboard.
The same orders were sent to the
commanders of the Boston and Dixie.
On November 2 the following order
was sent to Rear Admiral Glass at
Acapulco: .
"Proceed with all possible dispatch
to Panama. Telegraph In cipher your
departure. Maintain free and uninter
rupted transit. If Interruption la
threatened by armed force, occupy the
line. Prevent landing of any armed
force, either Government or insurgent,
with hostile Intent at any point within
fifty miles of Panama. If doubtful as
to the Intent of any armed force, occu
py Ancon Hill strongly with artillery.
If the Wyoming would delay Concord
and Marblehead her disposition must
be left to your discretion. Prevent
their landing if in your Judgment land
ing would precipitate a conflict."
On November 4 Acting Secretary
Darling sent this dispatch to the com
mander of the Nashville:
"Gunboat of -Colombia shelling Pan
ama. Send Immediately battery of
three-Inch field guns and six-pounders,
with force of men, to Panama to com
pel cessation of bombardment. Rail

Secretary Moody sent this dispatch to
the commander of the Boston on No
vember. 9: :,3>:v {
"Maintain free and uninterrupted
transit, if interruption threatened by
armed force with hostile intent, either
Government or insurgent, either at Co
lon, Porto Bello or other points."

Consuls at Panama and Colon, on No

This embraces orders cabled to the
commander of the Nashville at Colon
under date of November 2, which read
as follows:
The brother-in-law was killed in the

Sanchez fled with his band to the

to the north and were followed by a

Sanchez was at one time a wealthy
Mexican rancher and owned large
herds of cattle ranging in the Bocoachi
country. He became involved in trouble

he turned over his property to his
brother-inrlaw and when he finally re

He demanded satisfaction of his
brother-in-law, who lived in the town

his threats and drove him out of the
place. Sanchez fled to the mountains,
where he fell in with a band cf rene

Special Dispatch to The Call
WASHINGTON. NOT. 16.— "It has
be^n thought proper in an official re
piort to refer to the army transport s=er
rtce as a most'eostly luxury," says C.
}'. Humphrey, quartermaster general of
the :>T"iy. in his annual report to the
S< i reUtry of War, which was issued to
r.ay.
"As to Its costliness, 1 submit actual
figures and facts. I do not know in
n hat respect the service can be looked
;;ivi/ as a luxury, unless reference is
made to the excellence of the enlisted
men's accommodations. If it be a lux
ury to furnish our enlisted men with
the class of accommodations now pro
vided in all the army transports, then I
favor the continuance of that luxury.
"In my opinion the transport service
needs no defense whatever, and no ex
< use is offered for it by the department
i harged with its operation. I. for one,
do not claim that there Is an 'inexora
ble military necessity 1 for its continu
ance, but I submit that the service is
unquestionably a very valuable and
economical military convenience."
The duties that have been performed
through the transport service, with the
relative costs of transportation by the
Government and by contract are shown
;n the report. The total difference in
transport service for a year is placed
at $2,248,439 in the report. Insular trans

Recommendation is rr.adf» that Hono

of the inaoiMty of the dc-partment to

To keep the loss down to the mini
