TO PAY $25,000,000 FOR THE CANAL ZONE Colombia Does Not 4trant Rtight For New Canal. No Conling Privileges. Washington, April 8.-Undisgulsed gratilcation was felt by administra tion officials here today at the pros pect of finally healing the breach be tween the United S'tates and Colombia tirough the treaty signed at Ilogota yesterday. If this convention is rati fled by the two countries, as ofilcials are confident it will be, it will close amicable a bitter controversy, brought on 'the secehson of Panama in 1903 and the granting to the United States the Canal Zone and which the Wash ington govern-ment has felt handicap ped it in its rela-tions with all Latin America. Substantial details of the treaty be came known here today. The principal article provides for the Payment to Colombia of $24,000,000 six months after ratifleations have been exchanged between the two countries, as indemnity for the losses she has sistained. This Is granlted in a lump sumit and the treaty does not attempt to specify how muich of this amount is In repa rat ion for the loss of Pan a ma or how much for the loss of the l'antamita taillway rights. Shipping lItigitis. Colomlila is granted the right to ship coal, salt and petroleum from her At !antic to her 'acille iports, eIther through the canal or across the Pan ama Railway, without any charge other than tihle cost of freight, no diuty being assessed . These articles are not prodliced along the Pacific side of the country and mountains prevent easy commuinintca fion overland through Co lom11bia. A third article fixes the boundary line )Atwen C0olibia and P1aama aint stores to the latter a strip of territory which has been claimed by Panama. This linte is the same as that which was provided lin the Cortes Aroseia treaty between Colom11bIa an(d I 'anam, one of the tri-parte tIrCa ties nIever' ratified 1by Colombia, except that it fixes definitely tile point. oi tie Pa cific coast where the boundary ter mtinates, which is to be miIdway be tween P1oints Cocalita and Ardita.
