WILL NOT RAISE PRICE. Washington, Oct, 22 —Ishmael En- rique Arciniegas of the Columbian diplomatic service has arrived in Washington with data regarding the Panama canalfor Dr, Herran, the Columbian charge here. Mle has not hesitated to say that his government wants $25,000,000 for the canal, and it will not consider a lees sum. The Columbian senate committee which reported the canal treaty with the United States said in so many words that the treaty with the United States should be rejected, and that negotiations should be opened with foreign powers in the hope of getting more favorable terms. There is a strong opinion here that foreign powers had more to do with the rejection of the treaty by Colum- bia than any real sentiment in that country, and now it is proposed to construe the Monroe doctrine as pro hibiting any foreign power or any company backed by a foreign gov- ernment or under its patronage from acquiring a canal strip. Iv is the intention of the United States government to convey to the Columbian envoy aclear understand ing that this country will permpit no foreign nation to take any steps ir the direction of acanal. It will be urged seriously by the United that this would be in direct opposition to the Monroe doctrine principle and would be resisted to the limit of the country's power. There is a atrong feeling in Colum bia that Dr. Herran has not handled the matter as well as he might. The former minister of therepublic to the United States, who refused to close up the canal treaty on u basis at all acceptable to Mr. Hay and the con- gress of the United States, has never rested easy under the appointment of Dr. Herran, who was bis secretary of legation, as his successor, He has been indusuiouly cugaged ia slay ing sentiment against Dr. Herran and the treaty which he closed with the United States. It is the hope of the Columbians that their new repre- sentative can drive a sharper bar gain, although Dr. Herran says dip- lomatically that he will remain here asa simple adviser on the most re- cent phases of the treaty matter. The administration is fully aware of every development. It is probable that before many days pass Mr. Arciniegas will learn that there is no possibility of the United States paying more for the canal strip than it offered to in the treaty just rejected by the Columbian congress. . Whatever may be the personal feeling of Secretary Hay, he will be restrained from negotiating a treaty which cannot be confirmed by the senate. Hehas advised fully with every member of the senate who has taken the least interest in the canal proposition, and has been told that the sevate in approving the canal treaty went tothemaximum of what can be secured from congress in the way of cash payment. The strength of the advocates of the Nicarauguan route is such as to preclude the possibility of securing any more generous legislation. for Panama than was secured in the Spooner bill. J. M.
