'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.

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 apply the doctrines which it upheld dur ing the war of secession and not oppose the right of Colombia to suppress rebels and not recognize their belligerency The United States by its recognition of the government’ of Panama would ac.-ejit con ditions almost .Jniikir to those existing at the time of tin- wparatist movem-mt in the United Stab s, thus aggravating I tlie oiloumstances ami violating tlie treaty i which induces Colombia to enter an earn est protest against such action. “Colombia protests that h r friendsliip i for tlie t nlted States lias readied sm.ii I a state of disturbance as to inako it Im- I possible for her to continue diplomatic.

No Forcible Annexation, 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 Ind-'peml'nt republic relying upon her str >ngi r neiglfbor for protection and support. She desires access to our mar kets for her sugar and other products or. favored terms, j’ho oldcitlon to rec iprocity treati-s is that they involve dis crimination in favor of certain domestic products and against others, and also discriminutlun In favor of certain coun tries and ngaimst others, anil that such policy is likely ;o produce a plentiful ' top of international jealousy and en mity. MTetbev our tariff wall Is high or low, our policy should be free trade Insldo ot tlie republic and impartial trade outside. Our high tariff, has organized the prodti. •■.•■? of the world against, us, and even ’England, the largest market for our products, is preparing to tako t< aliatory action. We should not in tensify Hits feeling by favored arrange ments with countries whose trade we sc-ok to. monopolize.

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 .

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.
