APPEAL BY COLOMBIA.
Bogota, November 21 .—President Mar
r quin has made the folowing statement
to the Associated Press in response to
queries as to the political situation in
< 'olombia:
■ I nit. ,l States Minister Beaupre and
all Amelies: s here are surrounded with
every gu ' for their safety. My
communications to the United States sen
ate and to the people of the United
States make manifest Iho attitude of my
government on the Panama question.
T:;< in the interior of the Co-
lombian republic is quiet.”
President Marroquin's reference to bls
■ ommunication to the people of the
United States is explained by the follow
l"c address, which he has given to the
<' rrvspondetit of the Associated Press:
‘The President of Colombia to the
American !’• <>pb-- The Colombian nation
l.as just be. n th : victim of an unex
pected a j
ing the best part of its territory. A mil
itary jjovi t nment. not popular senti

tion of in'll ?i iid' nw in Panama.

aiwa.'s been held by Colombia to be its
last friend and ally, prevented with ma
i ■■ he.-.il militia from subjugating the
traitors and checking the origin ot the
Insubordination.
'The solemi: treaty between Colombia
end tiie United States, alluded to un
til the last moment by the American
g' vernm-nt, binds tho United States not
< tdy to respei • the sovereignty and own
ership of the Panama isthmus by Colom
: ia, but to help the latter maintain them.
The proceedings of the United States
marines on the isthmus and of the Amer
ican minister here are in open violation
of that treaty.
The Isthnus Coveted.
"The Isthmus of Panama, the most
coveted part of the globe and th<- most
precious part of our fatherland, always
has been respected by the nations as a
e. red trust considered by Colombia to
ha the honor and power ot tlie Ameri
can people. The traditions of that great
nation, th" United Stales, as a mighty
defender of lights and bearer of the
standard of civilization before the world
always has been opposed to the secession
of territory ami the dismembering of
nations. Non-recognition of the con
federate states during the civil war con
firms emphatically tho application of this
doctrine decisively at critical moments.
"The American people will not per
mit, I am sure, a violation ot public
treaties, thus denying their glorious tra
ditions in order to obtain by force what
< olombia is ready to concede through
pacific and equitable ways. Colombia
heartily wished to strengthen tho ties of
friendship and commerce with the United
States and give vigorous impulse to the

“BEAUPRE.”
On the following clay Senor Rico ac
knowledged the receipt of this note and
set forth that Colombia, wishing to have
the canal opened, signed a treaty Jan
uary 22, 1903, to consider which the Co
lombian congress was called to meet in |
extra session. The government of Co- :
lombla, he added, was also notified tlia'
the United States would slot admit mod ■
Iflcations of the measure, ami if It was j
not approved friendly relations between I
the two countries would lie compromised |
and the United States congress would ■
take painful measures. The treaty was
sent to congress with this information.
Tiie senate did not approve of the treaty
and appointed a commission to study the
best means of satisfying the United
States government without violation of I
the constitution.
Continuing. Minister Tfico wrote that
Minister TTerran notified the United i
States government on the 3d Instant
that the military at Panama had been i
subornated, had rebelled and had pro
claimed the independence, of Panama,
owing to the belief that another military
force, arriving that very day at Colon,
would be disarmed by the Nashville's |
marines, this intervention preventing the j
reestablishment of constitutional order.
The Colombian minister then said the j
United States immediately afterwards cii- i
tered into relations with the rebels, inrii
eating that Colombia, must accept the
situation or engage in a civil war, the
action of the United States also meaning
that it would not. allow the Colombian
government to take military measures to
suppress the rebels and reintegrate. the
nation. The natives thus bee one tho al
lies of the rebels.
United States and Texas.
Minister Rico then asserted that, this
action of the United Stales was in con
trast with the steps taken when Texas
declared her Independence, which, he said,
was not recognized by tb< United States
until two years later, and referred to In
treaty of December 12, 1846, between
the United States and New Granada,
quoting article I. and saying that the
United States, by its action toward the i
Colombian forces on the Isthmus, had :
clearly violated said articles.
The minister then quoted the final part I
of article 35 ot the treaty of 1346, and i
said the obligation of lite United Stales j
to maintain neutrality ami Uoinmbia.ii sov- |
ereignty was clear and could not be mis- i
interpreted. He afterwards referred to I
the other treaties between the United
States and Colombia, assorted th it
citing the treaty ot 1846 it was
inferred that if the United States
government doubted that the r- -
ognltlon of tlie independence of Pan
ama was against this treaty and wished
to submit the point to the arbitration of
another power or to The Hague anbitra- '
tion tribunal Colombia would willingly I
agree to it.
The foreign minister next touched upon i
the civil war in the 1 nil'll iMatvs, and I
said:
“When England and France recognized j
tiie belligerency of me confederate stau.-s i
American diplomacy was s.i n.-loui-in d i
that Air. Seward would not listen to Hie !
reading of the instructions received by |
the ministers of those t owers, because i
the union was divided into 'belligerc-nt I
factions, declaring that it was not .'dmis- j
sible, and to Mr. Adams, tlie Ains'ican '
minister in London, he said, quoting a 1
dispatch previously add'esse.i to 'the
American minister at Par;-:
"Here only one. political pow< t exists | '
and it is recognized by all nations.
“We hope that the United States will 1

To Become a County of Cuba.

All Depending on the
Action of Cuba.
By Jos: OhJ.
Washington, November 21.—(Special.)—
M'hercas, the republic of Cuba is de
sirous of securing commercial union with
the United States; and
Whereas, the best, commercial union can
be. secured by and through political union
by means of the admission of tlie republic
of Cuba as a sovereign state in the union,
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the
senate and house of representatives of the
United States of America, in congress
assembled. That tho republic of Cuba be.
and is hereby, Invited to become a. state
of the United States upon terms of equal
ity with all other states of the union.
These resolutions, formally Introduced
tn the senate, represent the views o?
their author. Senator Nowlands, of Ne
vada, as to the most important step that
can be taken to bring about permanent
close relations between the United States
and Cuba. In the judgment of the Ne
v-ida. senator, who has made the closest
■possible study of the business and politl
cnl relation’hip between these two re
publics, tliis is the most appropriate time
to hold out to (lie Cubans the opportu
nity of becoming part of this great na
tion. This invitation, aa Senator New
lands contends, is Hie highest compliment
the United States could pay to Cuba.
As a part of hi.s plan, Senator Netviands
suggests:
1. That the Island of Porto Itlco be
come a county or province of Cuba and
a part of Hie state of Cuba.
2. That the president and vice president
ot tire republic of Cuba be the governor
and lieutenant governor, respectively, of
the state of Cuba until their term ot of
fice expire, and that al! other executive,
legislative amt judicial officers now hold
ing oil;.',j Ip the republic of Cuba continue
to hold similar positions in tlie state of
Cuba until their present terms expire,
with the exception Os the customs arid
postal officials who shall be incorporated
into tl < c:t ‘t 'ins and postal service ot
the United States, and the rural guard,
the. officers and subordinates of which
shall he incorporated into the army of
the United States.
3 That the bonds about to be Issued
by trio republic of Cui.a for tlie payint::t
Os its army during the. war with Spain,
aggregating $35,000,000, with inter- st at
5 per cent,, ho issued as the bonds of the
M. te of U'd-.i. and that the inter, st agreed
to be paid thereon be reduced fr un 5 to
3 per ’••■■nt, tiie difference to be applied to
tlie sinking fund, and that, as so changed
tluir payment be ffucranteed by tins
United States.
4. That the balance In tho treasury of
tl • rcpublii; of Cuba be turned over to
th- state •'." Cuba. : rid the balance in the
treasury of Forto Rico be turner! over to
tho county or provincial authorities of
that Island.
Talks o? His Plans.
Senator Nev.kinds, In talking with mo
about his resolutions, laid particular
stress upon t!'<» far’ tint they are In
spired not by a Ge- re to annex forcibly
or to assert sovereignty over the island
of Cuba, or to exercise any form of
romjril Jon; L t rolelt l y a regard for
the interest of tlie two ■■ountric.t and a
c •'•"teflon that tl.o Interests of the
st. ties composing the federal union and
C.ma are Identical, and that they can
Le best secured by n union under one
Tbrhi of government In which all shall
be represented on equal terms and be
governed by equal and undiscriminating
laws. Insuring freedom of trade and
equality c" right and privilege.
"These resolutions," saKl Senator New-
Irviis, 'pres»-nt an ear y way out of ex-
L-ltiig compli' - .Worts. Cuba Is now an

When 1 began taking these medicines I

were badly shattered ana my heart troubled
me a great deal. I had pain in my left arm
and shoulder, had difficulty in sleeping on
mv left side, had frequent smothering spells
and mv heart would flutter and palpitate.
I could eat scarcely any kind of food without
suffering great distress, and was so restless
and nervous that .1 slept little night or day.
Now 1 am never bothered with my heart,
my nerves arc steady as a die, 1 sleep well,
eat well and weigh 163 pounds. lam happy

union with the United States under our
constitution and laws. Under the arrange-
' m.-nt contemplated Cuba would become
j a sovereign state of tiie union, with sena
tors and congressmen. She wouifl be lifted
I up from the present inferior position of
( a country under the protection of her
powerful neighbor to tho uneqtialed glory
of a sovereign state of the federal union.
‘ sharing in our coirstitutional rights and
' enjoying the equal laws which she will
'share in making. Upon her anrvual crop
1 of 1,000.000 tons of sugar, for which she
| now receives In our markets $75,000,000,
tress the customs duties, amounting to
about $35,000,000, or $40,000,000 net. site
would receive the $75,000,000 without re-
: duetion, a clear gain of $35,000,000 a,.-
i nuttlly. She would also gain on toba .co
’ an l other products.
j “No violent change would be required,
i The president and vice president would
. become the governor and lieutenant gov
! ernor of the newly admitted state. The
: officials of the president's cabinet, and
, j generally of the executive, legislative and
i judicial departments, would maintain
their present position:; and salaries under
the new state. Her customs an! postal
officials would become a part of the
United States customs and postal ser
vice, under eixil service laws Her rural
guard, with its officers, would become a
part of our regular army.
Her Financial Condition.
"Cuba is now offering $35,000,000 of
bonds with Interest at 5 per cent at 90,
and there are no takers, anil tier patriotic
army of the late war is still unpaid. As
■ a. state of the union her bonds at 3 p' r
| cent, guarar.tci-d by tiie United States,
: '•'■ ’ '■■: sell readily at par and her soldlt s
> would be paid Immediately. The rcmain-
' , ing 2 per cent could be applied to the
■ sinking fund and the United States would
; be secure against any loss. On this trans
l action alone Cuba would, before the ma-
' turlty of tlie bonds, save in Interest ov: "
$30,000,000. sufficient to pay the principal
!of the bonds. The imagination can hard
. Ij picture h r i>:\is:p< Ely under tin n< w
I economic conditions.
, As to I‘orto Rico, she would be freed
from her present anomalous condition—
■ | that of a dependency subject to the abso-
I lute will o; u. sovereign country—neither
; territory or state. The size of the island
, I precludes the Idea of separate stateU'-td.
I .Vs a country of Cuba she would share
I In the state government and In the elec
' tion of president ami selection of sena
f tors and congressmen of the United
States. Tl>e doctrine of the inseparability
tor taxation nnd repr-. sentatnou would thus
j be vindicated.
From Cu: Standpoint
‘ "I* is hardly ne essary to stale the
[reasons why the United States sliouid fa
vor this turangetnent. They are patent.
However our people, may differ as to
colonial expansion or imperialism, there
never has been a time when the Ameri
can people did not. believe in tiie expan
sion of the republic and its free institu
tions over contiguous continental terri
tory and adjacent Islands necc'-.sr, t y to
its coast <ktense, and the establishment
ot a scientific boundary with proper mil
itar, and naval outposts. Tir i. never
Las been u. time when Cuba, would not
have been welcomed as a part of our
.:■• i.ntry. It is one of the ri : ie.-.t -ml
i most productive countries in tlie world.
Unsurpassed In healthfulness t.nd salu
brlety. It will, like California, some (l.iy
be a health resort and sanitarium of
this continent. It is milder in winter
and cooler hi summer than most of tho
United States. It will support flft-un mil
lion people. Its future absolutely depends
on the freest relations to this country.
Unless this Is accomplished, economic
distress is sure. If she comes inside of
our tariff wall, wealth and prosperity
await her. She will always be less caro
to us insitle of the republic than out
side.
“It will not do to wait for Cuba to take
the initiate.e. .She is suspicious of oar
motives, since Porto Hico and the Phil
ippines were annexed without constitu
tional rights and privileges. Hite will
fear that, if she takes the initiative w<
will reduce her to a dependency. Our
action regarding Porto Hico and tbo
Philippines will constitute an miunswer
able argument against her public rm n
who may agitate annexation. We must
in clear and unequivocal terms give Cu
ba to understand that we will welcome
her as an equal, that we do not con
template annexation—but slsterhood--and
that slio will ba one of us. not subject
to us.
Will Keep Up Agitation.
“I am aware that these resolutions w. I
be opposed by short-sighted men both
here and In Cuba. But tho argument
for union is so strong that I know it
will prevail if kept before the people of
both countries. It is my purpose to
keep this question alive. The occasion is
appropriate. ..lie relations of Cuba with
our country are now before congress,
and it is a fitting time for pressing the
rightful solution of a question which
has been before the people of both con
tinents for many years.”
Cuba Not Willing To Come
Havana, November 21.—The. joint reso
lution introduced in the United States
senate by Mr. Ncwlands on Friday in
viting Cuba to become a state of the
United States, has occasioned a great
deal of comment. Many Cubans are
amused by it. while isome prominent
Spaniards and other persons of foreign
birth favor tlie. idea.
In an interview. President Palma com
mented with considerable seriousness on
the provisions of the resolution, lie said
• that while there might possibly have been
i a time when a majority of th- residents
jof Cuba would favor voluntary action,
j that time had passed, tho stability of tho
i Cuban government having become ; •
I well established that the Cubans had rt>
other desire than to perpetuate it.
Besides this, Cuba’s p< iltica; and coc
mercial relations with the Uijjted States
wero now settling in a manner .o .-at!-
factory that 1: would he impossible ' -
organize a movement, of any important,.
! in the direction of annexation.
Pt-esidenj Palma spoke In terms of
j warmest commendation of Pr-sldc: '.
; Roosevelt's efforts in favor of reciproclt
land said he believed the big affirmative
vote in the house of repres< nt itves waa
j chiefly due to the presiunfs iuibi:'. • .
