Mr. Beaupré to Mr. Hay.
Bogotá, October 10, 1903. (Received October 14, 2.59 p.m.)
October 10, 1 p.m. Presentation of the committee report postponed until 12th. My telegram of September 30 states the first two clauses of the report. The third and last presents a project for law approving extension in time granted canal company. Apparently this is proposed with the expectation that the Senate will negative the project and annul extension, thus accomplishing the object stated in my telegram, 9th. However, I think in case most of them vote, extension in time to the company will be annulled. The probability is that Congress will adjourn without taking conclusive action on this report.
