WASHINGTON. Dec. 10,-At the Navy department It was announced today that the marine contingent on the Isthmus would be reinforced by 300 men now on the rairle, orders having been sent to Admiral' Barker, Commanding the North Atlantic squadron,' now at Guatananro, to despatch the Pralrlc to. the Isthmus. It will leave tomorrow, and will reach Colon hf Monday next. It is felt that, thus re inforced, the marines now on the Isthmus will -be fully competent to preserve order and prevent any invasion. Tells of Treaty' Death. The Statedepartment has received from Mr. Beaupre. under date of October 16, the text of the report of th committee of the Colombian, senate on the project of a law to confirm the disapproval of the canal treaty by the senate, and to authorise the president to make a new treaty. The re port takes the ground that the rejection of the treaty needs no approval, being a com pleted act, and that In any case the treaty expired by limitation of time on September 22. It also disapproves and recommends the indefinite eostDonement ot the propo- . r . - sltlon of the president to make a new treaty. Th motive ror tms action, though not positively asserted. Is regarded at the State department as evidently the purpose enterrVlned at Bogota, to prolong, under dilatory expedients, the whole ques- tlon until next year, then to declare the French concession forfeited and to demand of the United States Ihe $40,000,000 provided In the Bpooner act, unless In the mean- while they should be able to obtain from th Panama company a satisfactory sum In return for a permission granted to" them to sell to -the United States. Colombia. Plnylnsj for Time. The particular report which Mr. Beaupr encloses waa read in the Colombian senate on October 14. It begins with a declara tion ot Colombia's desire to have a canal constructed across the Isthmus,, and a re cital of the various steps that have been taken by Colombia during the past seventy years to secure a canal. It Is asserted tha the Hay-Herran treaty - vle to opposing so great and necessary a -work, but from th highest and fairest oenaior morgan is quoted as sustaining tne right of Colombia to reject the treaty. I ... - ... ... .......... It was based, which in brief, had two ob- Jects: To sustain the senate's reJecUon of the treaty, and to authorize the Colombian """ u'-w ew vreal.es, or pave un work done .by private .contract. - A atlvo argument Is adduced to sustain the uuuiuiiiiun inoi ii. m unnecessary id rainy i th senate's relection.
