WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Dr. Herran.
the Colombian Charge d'Affalres, called
at the State Department to-day for the
first time in many weeks for the pur-
pose, he said, of informing Secretary
Hay Of General Reyes arrival here. of
the object of his mission and to pay a
friendly call upon the Secretary. DR..
Herran was advised of the exact attf-
tude which the Washington Govern
ment will assume toward the special
envoy. If General Reyes Is pleased TO
meet the State Department officials on
the ground fixed by them and for the
purpose which they named. the ar
rangements of peace terms between
Colombia and the new republic of Pan
anna, he will be cordially received.
Otherwise his visit to the department
will be fruitless and MS mission to
Washington a failure
The United States stands ready to
extend its good Offices to effect a set
tlement between Colombia and Pan
anna, but with this exception it is not
interested in, nor can 1t consider. anv
from Colombia regarding the
isthmus. General Reyes has been ad-
vised Of this by DR.. Herran and II re-
mains for him to say what will be his
course here in view Of this development.
