Washington, Dec. 29.-General
Reyes, the Colombian envoy, has de-
MED himself to visitors for several
days, and it is evident that he has
given UP all hope of receiving a reply
from the United States government,
which will meet with the demands of
the authorities in Colombia.
p DR.. Herran, the regularly accredited
minister, is preparing to depart, and
altho he declares he is only about to
take a Well-earned and long delayed
vacation, preparations are evidently
being made to close up the legation en-
tlrely. Already most of the files have
been packed, and arrangements made
for storing them here.
Sufficient information has doubtless
been given. to the Colombian repre-
sentatives as to the nature of the re-
ply which their protest will receive
from Secretary Hay and only defer
their departure as a matter of diplo-
matte courtesy until it is received.
Then the official relations of the two
countries will be brought to an end by
the departure of the Colombians.
