sion representing his government.
He said he was going to Washington

Colombia is desperate and he doubt

Admiral Coughlan that Colombia

the isthmus until he had reached
Washington.

Gen. Reyes, that if my efforts at
Washington failed TO bring about
some arrangement concerning the
present situation on the isthmus sat

was remarkable for his lifelong fidel-

After he left the legislature, and
took up the practice of law, ne be

daughter Of Robert Coleman Of Ian

She is said to have been All Unusu-

a note from Miss Coleman asking him
to release her from the engagement.
There was no explanation forthcom-

ward that he discovered that gossips
and busybOdies had gone to Miss
Coleman with stories concerning him
which had no foundation save in their
misunderstanding imaginations.
After all his efforts at reestabish-l
ing the old relation had proved use
less, he wrote to her that if II was
her wish to be released from the en-
gagement ne could not but submit. as
he had no desire to hold her against
her will.
The break came in the latter part
of the summer OF 1919. He thew

friends in Philadelphia.
Though she was too proud to admit
it, there was evidence that the beauti-
full and high-spirited girl was suffer

missions went ashore and arm in arm
walked to the end of the dock. where
100 soldiers of the new republic form
ed in two lines and presented arms.
AS the commissioners passed through
the lines drums were beaten and bugles
sounded. The party afterwards rode
about the city in carriages.
The conference was continued infor-
mally iT the afternoon when a dOcu-
ment was drawn up and signed by al
the commissioners. setting forth the
details of the conference. General
HOlguin of the Colombian commission
asked finally if the COlombians could
do anything whatever TO regain the
isthmus and Senior Arias answered
that il was decidedly and absolutely
impossible He, however, expressed
