Washington. April — Cdr. Martinez Silva, the Colombian minister, said today that he has not received any information concerning this latest reported revolutionary move in his country. He was inclined to place no credence in the report, as in his last mail from Colombia he received very assuring advices as to the peaceful condition of affairs in and around the capital. DR. Silva called attention to the fact that General Tribe, the acknowledged leader of the revolutionary element in New York City, and that his latest advices from Panama stated that the guerrilla bands were fast disbanding into complete inactivity.

Thousand Days' War
Beginning of the end
After Palonegro, the Liberals were divided into two different factions, this time pacifists and the warmongers. The Nationals of the Conservatives believed it was time to end the war, which by this time was mainly in the province of Panama and on the coast of the Caribbean Sea. With that decision, internationalization of the war was avoided, though internationalization was promoted by Venezuelan president Cipriano Castro (who recognized Uribe Uribe as President of Colombia).

Treaties of Neerlandia and Wisconsin
The first peace treaty, which formalized the cessation of hostilities, was signed on the plantation Neerlandia on October 24, 1902; the fighting had ended by the mid-point of that year in Panama. Later the threat was from the American navy, sent by the government of Theodore Roosevelt to protect the United States' future interests in the construction of the Panama Canal. The Liberals, commanded by General Benjamin Herrera, were then forced to surrender.
