WASHINGTON, Nov. l7.--Upon the basis
of newspaper reports that Mr.. Beaupre,
the United States Minister at Bogota, had
been recalled, Secretary Of State Hay has
written a note to DR.. Herran, the Colom-
bian Charge d'Anaires, In which DR.. Herran
is assured that Mr.. Beaupre has merely
secured permission to come home at his
own convenience, in accordance with an
application for leave OF absence made be-
fcre the beginning Of the recent events on
the Isthmus. Mr.. Hay took occasion to
express tho hope that DR., Herran would
remain here. and made some complimentary
personal references to the Colombian diplo-
mat. DR.. Herran has sent an answer to
Mr.. Hay, expressing his appreciation Of
the latter's courtesy.
DR.. Herrans position here Is peculiar
He has not heard word from his Govern
ment since the Isthmian revolt Of Nov. 3,
although communications have been re-
ceived from tho Bogota administration by
other persons in this country. 1t is regarded
as peculiar that the protest of President
Marroquin should have been sent direct
to the President Of the Senate, instead of
through DR.. Herran, and there is a DISPOSE
ton hero to believe that he is being ignored

Canal treaty. Everybody connected with
the canal negotiations is being roundly
abused in Bogota just now.
The arrival here of DR.. Arturo Brigard,
the Colombian Consul-General in New
York, gave rise to surmises that he would
succeed DR.. Herran, but the latter ex-
planned tonight that DR.. Brigard was the
EsCn1 pf the (,lnnl,ia Iiy,Icpof,c
and consular service in the United States,
and had come to Washington merely for
the purpose Of settling the legations period
ical accounts. DR., Herran denies. also, that
he had been recalled or that he had any
intention of leaving Washington at this
tine. There j. general belief in official
and diplomatic circles, however, that the
Colombian legation in Washington will
be closed soon.
Mr.. Bunau- Varila the Panama Minister,
to-day addressed formal identical notes
to the ambassadors, ministers and charges
of foreign countries in Washington, asking
them to secure the recognition by their
governments of the new republic. The
text of the note was as follows:
