The adminis- ! i tration has been for several days with- / out information concerning important proceedings at Bogota, and finding be- | | vond question that its dispatches are | | being purposely delayed, has taken steps to remedy the state of affairs. | It is learned that Secretary Hay to- | day formally called the attention of Dr. Herran, the Colombian Charse &'Af-| | 3’7‘;’;5?%& | | faires, to the fact that communication | | FOEAUN"/‘ i between the department and the Ameri- | | | | | | can Minister had been cut oft and asked | | | | | for an explanation. Hay, it is said, made his communication very -pointed, | | suggesting that regrettabie consequences to both countries would ensue if sup- i | | pression of dispatches were persisted in. { Proof of the dplicity of the Colombian Government agents was obtained by the | | department through a message from Min- ister Beaupre, dated August 2%, which | accidentally found its way to the depart- | | ment. Beaupre reported that he received | | | | no cispatches between July 24 and August | 15, although others of a later date had | | | been received. | || DISPATCHES ARE TRACED. | | | The department then traced its ais- | | | patches from the telegraph office in | | | Washington to Buena Ventura, Colombia, | | | | | where the cable ends and the telegraph | | ’ | |1ine controlied by the Colombian Govern-| | | | ment vegins.
