tween the United States OF America

sideration, but the nature of it's reply,
If any, or the time when it will be
made, is not known. Other than ad-
hitting that such a document had
been filed in the state department
the officials would say nothing about
the matter

ma is quiet today but the circulation
of the news of the appointment of
General Reyes resulting in enthusi-
astic celebrations, not only because the
general has many friends here, but
for the reason that his mission is look
ed upon as assuring the independence
of the isthmian territory.
