At WASHINGTON PREPAR.
ING TO LEAVE.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Although Sec
rotary Hay has not yet replied to the
note of General Reyes preparations ara
rapidly going on for the closing of the
Colombian legation here and the de.
parture Of Colembia's representatives
for home 1t is clear that they do not
entertain any hope Of q satisfactory
response by this government. Al
ready most Of the legation files have
been packed and arrangements COM
pleted for placing them in storage
here. For several days General Reyes
has denied himself to callers.
1t is believed that, while the reply
Of Mr.. Hay has not been made, suffi-
Gent information has been obtained
by the Colombian representatives in
the interviews they have had with the
secretary to enable them to forecast
its conclusions. The preparations 60
ing on for closing up the affairs of the
legation would seem to indicate that
General Reyes and DR.. Herran are
awaiting only as a matter of form and
diplomatic courtesy the official COM
munication of Mr.. Hay setting forth
the reasons why this government can
not accept their view of the Panama
situation before severing diplomatic
relations with the United States.
