Duque with Secretary Hay, to whom he gave Duque a note of introduction.
Duque saw Mr. Hay the next day. During the conference Duque reported that Mr. Hay said that the United States would build the canal, that it did not purpose that Colombia should stand in the way, and that should the revolutionists occupy Colon and Panama they could depend on the United States to prohibit Colombia's landing troops to attack them and disturb the free and uninterrupted transit which our Government was bound by treaty with Colombia to maintain. He also says that Mr. Hay requested him to remain and confer with the President on his return, which he was unable to do.
