Colombia Still Threatening.
lBv the Associated Press. }


Washington, Nov. 27.-The state De
rartment had advices by cable from Min
ister Beaupre, at Bogota. dated November
%. in which he states that considerable
excitement still prevails at the Colombian
capital; that there is much talk of rails
ing an army, but no troops have yet been
enlisted. and that there are rumors in
the city of revolution in the State OF
Cauca, directed against the Marroquin
government.
Rumors have reached the State Depart
ment, from another source that General
Reyes mission to Washington is primarily
TO try'to array opposition Senators against
the ratification of the Bunau-Varilla Hay
canal treaty.
There also is talk Of the formation of a
combination of South American countries
directed against the United States.
Respecting the coming of General Reyes
to Washington, it is SAY At the State De-
paltment that much depends uron the
nature Of his credentials rs TO the recep-
ton he viii have. 1t seemed probable
that if he tx brought TO the department
by the Colombian charge. Dr. Heran, he
will be accorded respect vi hearing. But
il also Is pointed out that the activities
must be confined TO lawful channels. for
as an alien any attempt on his part to
influence by direct representations any
other than the executive branch of the
United States government would scarcely
be viewed with cquanimitv. Respecting
the statements attributed to the general in
n New Orleans interview. that Colombia
would send 100000 men into Panama
overland, the fact is recalled that the in
structions to the United States naval Off
eials on the isthmus would not permit
hostile Cclombian troops TO land

of the repes ted statements Of General
Reyes and others that if the mission Of
the general TO Washington was failure
Colombia would march on Panama with
any army of 100000. whe Their the United
States was contemplating the sending OF
troops to the isthmian. He empha ticaiv
decle red that no problem for the defense
of Panama against an attacking army
had been considered by the general stan
ard that the anhioct he'd been gwen no
