COLOMBIA AFTER REVENGE

She WUI Boycott Oar Goods In Ketura sot Our Action ontbo Isthmus of Panama. Washington, Dec. 30. Colombian merchants, in revenge for the action of the United States on the isthmus of Panama, have combined and have passed a promise among themselves that if it be possible to secure from Canada such articles as flour, kerosene, sewing machines, canned goods, furniture and crackers they will divert their purchases from the United States. Already some of the trade has gone to the northern market, and more of it Is following. The feeling in Colombia against the United States Is growing dally, and the belief that the best way to hit the United States where it hurts is to hit them in the region of the pocketbook Is moving the Colombians to establish trade relations with Canada, to the exclusion of the great republic.
