Secretary IJryan has issued a stateun ul defend ing tli?* proposed treaty lo ?elli?! dit ter, aces bet ween Hie lrtill?*il Stales and Colombia over lin' sepa ration of I'ana?na. The I rent y has mel vigor ous opposition in the senate, ?uni Kor mer I'residetit Itoosevell has alaekeil it as a vehicle for Hie pnyment ol' "blackmail." Mr. lilyan deeluretl thal it was nec essary lo discuss oiily tli<' fact that an estrangement oxsils, and not th?' events which gave rise lo th.' dii?cr eiices; and that regardless ol' whether Colombia lia:; a just grievance against her more powerful neighbor, no one would deny that the former country . tistuined a great financial loss, con siderably more Dian Hie $25,000,000 which the I'll i I od State;, would pay un der the treaty, through Hie separation of Panama. As to the expression of regrei on the part of the American government to which opponents of the pending convention offer their bltter < si objection .thc secretary said this was almost identical with a similar expression in the Du Hois memoran dum on the basis of which thc Taft ad ministration unsuccessfully sought to placate Colombia. The statement in full follows: "Ar. the terms of the Colombia treaty have been published und it it lr. now before Hie senate for ratifica- : lion, tin1 fellowing statement may as sist the public to lunn un opinion upon tin; merits of the cutest ion: ll Merv ol the Cuse. "The present administration found an estrangement existing between the United Slater and Colombia-an es trangement, that has continued for nearly thirteen years. As the normal relation between nations is one for frler.dshlp. it is desirable that differ ences shall he adjusted and cordial relu:(ons resumed. It is not neces unry to diseurs the events which gave rise to this estrangement, becnuso it does not matter which party was at fault The estrangement exists, and this is the fact that must be deal wih. "Colombia has all along Insisted up on arbitration. ff tills nation were walling to arbitrate, it would not ho eneessary to dircuss "terms of settle ment because in thu ease of arbitra tion the parties accept the finding of tho arbitrators and setthyheir differ I onces ni'cording to the terms prescrib ed. It ls not the policy of nations, however, to eettlo by arbitration quos : tlons Uko those arising between the United States and Colombia und as ar bitration 1B not resorted to. the settle ment must bo mudo by direct negotia tions. Our nation, being much thc larger nation, and having refused to arbitrate, taken upon itself tho respon sibility of doing justice to Colombia. Not only IR It our duty to do justice to Colombia but In case of doubt as to what In just, we must resolve that doubt agni,ist ourselves and in favor nf Colombia. Colombia's Appeal. "Colombia feels that she has been nggrieved and whatever may be suld as to whether or not this fooling is ? just Hied, no one will deny that she. luis sustained great financial loss in the separation of Panama from her. Bofore tho separation took place, tbjs government offered Colombia $10.000, 000 for the canal route and $250.000 a year for ono hundred years. This an nuity might he capitalized at abo" $7.ri00.Q00, so that this government's estimate of th? lops suffered by Colom bia could net be less than about $17, 500,000. Rut that .estimate was made upon tho supposition that Colombia would retain the state or department of Panama. The reention of Panama would have given to Colombia not only the value of Panama, but thc incidental benefits to be derived from proximity to the canal. We cannot deny, there fore, thal the artual loss to Colombia was considerably, moro than $25,000, 000. "Hut wo have a later estimate to consider namely, that placed upon the less by the preceding administration. While thero is a dispute as to whethr Mr DUBOIB exceeded his authority in the proposition that he made, there is no doubt that he was authorized to make known to Colombia that thc United States would offer as the basis of a treaty If assured of acceptance by Colombia, $10.000,000 for the Atrata river canal route and arbitration of the the reversionary interest of Col ombia In the railroad. This rever sionary interest was valued nt about $16,000,000 which would have beon the sum awarded to Colombia if :hc arbi tration was decided In her favor. The $10,000,000 for the Atrata route and tho $10,000,000 was evidently Intended more as liquidated damages than as the price of the canal route--togother .with the value of the reversionary Interest In tho railroad would amount to $26,000,000. Mr. Hullo ls' Agreement. "But Mr. DuBois went further than this, and suggested arbitration of a canal teaso, which might have added sordo $17,000.000 more, and then, upon hlif ? own responsibility In order to sodnd Colombia as to her demand, ask ed ' if ?he would consider $25,000,000 wlity'the reversionary Interest In the railroad and without granting any privileges whatever. This question, while unauthorized could not hut cre ate in tho minds of the people of Col-' ombla the tdoa that this government was willing to go further than its for mal offer. "Reference ls made to what has been .done because former estimates creat ed expectations which made lt Impos sible to secure, a treaty on mor favor able terms than those embodied In the4 present treayt. The canal zone con substantially those embodied in the cessions contained in the trenVy are Itool-Cortez treaty which was not rat ified by Colombia, and th? expression of regret la Identical In meaning and almost Identical In words willi I he ex pression of regret to be found in thc Du I tola memorandum. "if cordial relations are to be re stored with Colombia, they must he rcrlured on a basis thal is satisfactory to Colombia. Friendships ea uno) rest upon force; neither eau they rest up on acquiescence in the power of might. F.von if Colombia limier pro test and againKt the jiurgmenl of her people, accepted a les sum (ban which we offer, lt would not restore the rela tions that ought to exist. Wo must ' satisfy their sense of justice, although a less sum might ai tisfy our sense of justice. in every > llement there mus? be cnr.ccr.aioiiri and our govern menl hu?: rot cer 'oded mire than the require ni sn ta cf the situation demand. "Tiie ratification of the Colombian treaty will restore the friendly rela tifs:-. 'Vilich for a century preceding lill).! existsd between Colombia and the United Stairs. Il will also enable Colombia and Panama to settle their differences and deal with each other upon a neighborly basil*. More than thal lt will give prestige lo tho United States throughout Spanish America. This nation can afford to be just; even more, it can afford to he generous in t the settling of disputes, especially when by it? generosity it can increase the friendliness of the many millions of Central and South America with whom our relations become dally more intimate." PARADE FOR 8ENAT0K SMITH. Thc friends and admirers of Sena tor Smith made a demonstration, which had telling effects on ihe large crowd lhat had gathered just before the hour for tho meeting to bc called to order, when a parade, formed down near the of?lco of Mr. J.
