Secretary of Sute Hay ha* sent a long telegram to United State* Minister Bcaupre at Bogou. directing him to reiterate to the Government of Colombia the statement made previously by him thaf^he United'Sutes will not accept any modification or amendment, of the Panama canal treaty. Mr. Bcaupre was told to make it clear that President Roosevelt, by whose authority the instructions were sent, was obliged to be guided by the limitationt of thelaw authorizing the construction of the canal, and that he regarded the terms given by the United Sutes as the most liberal that cotild be obtained by Colombia within the scope of the law. The spirit of the instructions is that Colombia can accept the rejected treaty as it sunds or lose the opportunity of having the United States build the ca-

>t to return.

Just- before 11 o'clock the man returned a third time and demanded of the officer that he should be permitted to see the President at once. Tbe officer seized the man and palled him from the buggy, believing now that the fellow meant some harm. Wcilbrenner was taken by the big six-foot secret service man to the stable back of the Roosevelt house. Two stablemen were given revolvers and sat guard over the captive while an investi-

gation was made.

The first thing found wa» a fully loaded 32-caliber revolver, which Weilbrcuner left in the buggy. Footprints near tbe house aroused the suspicions of the secret service man that Wcilbrenner had companions. A telephone message sent to Oyster Bay. and the cnsquad of secret service men there —five in number—sprang upon horses and galloped top-speed to Sagamore A complete search of the neighborhood failed to produce other develop-

ments.

Wcilbrenner talked rationally to the officers on all matters concerning the mission on which he desired to see tbe President. After midnight he was brought to Oyster Bay and locked up. President Roosevelt w as aware >o{ the trouble. After the man had been turned back the second time, despite his insistence that he had an engagement with the President, the officer, to make assurance doubly sure, inquired of tbe President about the fellow. Mr. Roosevelt was in his library'! only a short distance from the spot v^re the officer had stopped Wklbrcnner's horse. He told the officer he had no engagement with anybody. When Wh«lbretiner returned the third time and the officer seized him and drew him out of tbe vehicle over the front wheel, the scuffle' attracted tbe President's attention. He appeared at the door overlooking the driveway from thf veranda, but returned to the library -'most immediately. The Wcilbrenner incident is the first serious occurrence of the kind during the President's summer sojourn at Sagamore HilL It ha* demonstrated completely. in tbe opinion ol officials here, •the wiidom of the close and systematic guard which is maintained at all times over the President- He is exposed frequently. it is true, to assault, but every care tnat human agencies can devise is exercised constant!); ,10 insure his personal safety and immunity from

Personally he was not perturbed by

the Wcilbrenner incident, but, although the'maintenance of the guard is often jiittaiteful to him, he thoroughly realizes the necessity in the circumstance* of haring made as certain as possible the personal safety of tbe

Washington (Spedal). — Minister Lcishman has cabled the sute department that owing to tbe disturbed conditions in Constantinople an additional kavass. or detective force, had beetl stationed at the American Ugation. This action was taken on the suggestion of the 1'urkish government, which has assured the American minister that it will use every precaution to protect all foreigners, but has warned the different embassies legations that it would be well to strengthen the force inside the buildings. The disposition of the cruisers Brooklyn and San Frandsco, of Admiral Cotton's squadron, which arrived at Beirut, has not yet been finally determined by the administration. No orders regarding the future movements of the vessels have been sent to Admiral Cotton, and much will depend on tbe character of th« report he makes concerning conditions in and about Beirut, and on the represenUtions which may come from the minister as to the necessity for the pretence ol American war vessels in Turkish waters to look after the protection of the interests of the citizens of the United Sutes in the Sultan's dominions. In case a necessity develops it is probable that the Turkish government w ill b« requested to allow the United States to send a detachment of marines from the squadron which ‘arrived at Bdnst. Minister Lcishman has not yet made such a request of this government- The United States has no authfirity to send a warship through the Dardanelles, and would have to nave the consent of Turkey and ‘also that of other Europear powers to do so.
