With Secretary Hay.
WASHINGTON. - Secretary Hay
heard argument by attorneys repre.
sentlng the Amerlcnn Interests In.

. . .olved In the Colon 111'0 claims. These
attorney have formally requested
the secretary to deduct the amount of
their claims from the fllnd of $10-
000,000 which Is to ho nald by the
United States to Panama on the
ground that the Inhabitants of the

while In Insurrection ag-alnst the Col.
omblan government , were reBponslbo )
for the destrllctlon of Colon by fire
about twenty : rears ago. with the reo
sultlng loss to American property
owners.
These claims have been presented
Beveral times In recent 'enrs to the
Colombian government. which has re-
pudlatec1 them as growing out of the
acts of InsurgentB , so that the present
method of bringing them forwnrd is
new. Secretary Hay promlse to glvo
careful consideration to the claims ,
but has decided that they must be con.
sldered entirely apart from the canal
negotiatlonB and as congress has madn
a specific appropriation of $10,000,000
for Panama no deductions can bo
made from that appropriation by tlle
executlvo on account of any other
clalmR.
