Spaniards From Torreon, Hud

American Consular Agent
Carothers
El Paso, Tex.—Eight hundred (not
612, as first counted) members of the
Torreon Spanish colony, expelled by
General Villa, found a haven in the
United States today. They had been
stripped of their property temporarily
at least, but supplied with temporary
funds.
They had refused to leave the train
in which they and their baggage had
come from Torreon to Juarez until
American Consular Agent Carothers
arrived to advise them.
Settled Policy.
Carothers was unable to assure any
thut Jhey would be restored to their
hom«>. his interviews with General
Carranza yesterday having met with
the Cat statement that expulsion of
Spaniards from Mexico was a settled
policy of the rebels and would be
modified only in the cases of indi
viduals who had not been involved
in politics.
“We have money enough for the
present.’’ said Joaquin Fernandez, an
exile. “Some of us will return to
Spain; many will go to Mexico City
and others to the United States and
Europe.'
Taken for Granted.
“Did Villa tell you specifically that
Spanish property would be confiscat
ed?” he was asked.
“Not specifically,” he replied, “but
that is pretty well taken for granted
in Mexico. I have pershnal knowl
edge that no one in this party did
anything inimical to the rebel cause.
We are not rebels or Huertistas. Mex
ico is our home and we cannot but
hope that some day we will be left to
dwell in peace and security there.”
Men, Women and Children.
Juarez, Mex.—Six hundred and
twelve men. women and children of
the Spanish colony, expelled from
Torreon by General Villa, arived to
day.
Huddled in passenger cars, they
waited for dawn and the arrival of
American Consular Agent Carothers.
“Mr. Carothers came up a day
ahead of us to see what he could do
with General Carranza,” said Joaquin
Fernandez, an exile. “We are under
protection of the American flag an 1
we decided not to leave the cars until
Carothers came.”
Carothers had another interview
with General Carranza last night, but
it was said that the general's attitude
against the Spaniards remained un
changed.
By State Dep't.
Washington, D. C.—The status oi
American efforts to prevent expulsion
of Spaniards from Mexico was set
forth in this statement given out by
the state department;
“Unofficial representations made to
General Carranza by representatives
of the department of state have de
veloped that General Carranza is not
disposed to interfere with orders
given by General Villa as to the de
portation of Spanish subjects in ter
• itory occupied by the constitution-
S*'tstß.” , .
it was said terms of the expulsion
decree have not yet been received.
No Alternative.
Mopt officials take the view that
there' hs no alternative for the United
States except to receive and care for
the exiles as international law pro
vides. Spaniards driven out of Chi
huahua have declined offers of as
sistance in El Faso and set about
maintaining themselves. I Itimats
disposition of the refugees and the
hundreds of others who in all prob
ability will cross Into the United
States will furnish a grave problem

$25,000,000 FOR
THE CANAL ZONE
With Acceptance of Treaty
Sianed With Columbia, Fic
tion of Ten Years Regarding
Partition of Panama Ends
Washington, D. C.—Twenty-five
million dollars Is the amount the
United States agrees to pay to/ Co
lombla fdr the partition of Panama
and the acquisition of the canal zone
In the treaty signed In Bogota by
American Minister Thompson and the
Colombian authorities This was
stated her today at the Colombian le
gation.
No rights for a new inter-oceanic
canal across Colombia by the Atrato
river route and no coaling privileges
on San Andreas and Provldencla Isl
ands off the Colombian coast, it was
added, were contained In the treaty.

While the Colombian minister, Se
nor Betancourt received a cable from
his foreign office, informing him of
the signing of the agreement, the
state department still was awaiting
word from Mr. Thompson.
The boundary between Colombia
and Panama Is to follow the line laid
down In an earlier treaty, which was
signed but never approved by the Co
lombian authorities. Ono important
demand which the South American re
public had been insisting on, the free
passage of her merchant vessels
through the canal, was given up be
cause of President Wilson's attitude
In favor.of repeal of the tolls exemp
tion. That had been a stumbling block
In the way of final agreement.
The Colombian congress will be
called In special session to pass on
the treaty before It Is submitted to
the United States senate.

Acceptance of the latest treaty will
end ten years of negotiation and fric
tion between the United states and
Colombia and relieve sLrained diplo
matic relations which have been

United Stales either pay a lump sum
for the canal zone It acquired when
the republic of Panama was set up
over night with guarantee of Integrity
from Washington, or that the whole
question be submitted to The Hague
for arbitration.
The Settlement.
The last, negotiations took place at
the close of President Taft’s adminis
tration. when Minister Dußois, under
instructions of Secretary Knox, of
fered a settlement on this basis:
