Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 7, 1903

Mr. Beaupré to the Department of State.

Legation of the United States,
Bogotá, August 18, 1903.

No. 110.]

Sir: I have the honor to report that the Department’s telegram of the 31st ultimo is the only instruction I have received since the telegram of the 13th of July concerning the canal treaty.

As telegrams have arrived from London, Paris, and Berlin, there is something mysterious in the fact that none have come from the United States during this critical period.

There is a feverish anxiety here to know what your position will be upon receiving news of the rejection of the treaty, and further action by Congress upon it.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

A. M. Beaupré.
