THE CENTRE DEMOORAT, BELLEFONTE, PA., AUGUST 20, 1408. 3 ” REJECTS CANAL TREATY Colombian Congress Voted Unanim- ously Against Ratification, CAUSED SENSATION ON ISTHMUS President of Colombia Authorized to Make New Treaty, But Basis Will Probably Prove to United States. Bogota, Colombia, Aug. 18. — The Panama Canal treaty has been rejected unanimously by the Colombian con- gress, It is reported that President Mar- roquin has been authorized by con- gress to make a treaty which will not require further ratification, but that the bases given for the treaty will probably prove unacceptable to the United States. It is considered, however, in offi. cial circles, according to reliable in- formation, that the authorization given by congress to make a new treaty will furnish a basis for re-opening ne- gotiations with the United States. It appears that one of the objec- tions to the ratification of the treaty which carried weight in the senate was that the Panama Canal Company did not come to a previous arrange ment with the Colombian government ofr the transfer of the concession. Unacceptable Colon, Colombia, Aug. 18.—The re- jection of the canal treaty by the Co- lombian senate has produced a tremen- dous sensation on the isthmus. It was generally believed that the treaty would pass with some modifications. There is good reason to suppose that the majority of the members of the senate regard the Spooner amendment to build a canal by the Nicaragua route, if the Panama route was rejected by Colombia, as a mere threat on the part of the United States. They are con- vinced that the Nicaraguan project is impossible, and that the United States will again deal with Colombia. The rejection is a heavy blow to property owners who have investing heavily on the prospects of the treaty being ratified. here been Reasons of Rejection. Washington, Aug. 18. — The reason given for the rejection of the treaty by | the Colombian senate, it is sald here, was the alleged encroachment on Co- lombian sovereignty which its nents would result from tae treaty.
