Washington, Nov. 24.-Rear Admiral
Coglan, commander of the Car

department from Colon under date
of November 81 that Gen. Reyes,
the special commissioner of the
Bogota government, tenders his sin
cere thanks to President Roosevelt and
Secretary of the Navy Moody for his
gracious treatment at Colon by our
naval force. Admiral Coghlan con-
firms the press dispatches that Gen.
Reyes has departed for Washington.

ference with DR.. Amador, member Of

in the United States. Before his de-
parture he informed Admiral Coghlan
that the Panama government had ca
bled DR.. Amador to await his (Reyes)
arrival. Admiral Coghlan further
states that Gen. Reyes expects to make
amicable relations with the special
commissioners from Panama now in
Washington.
Will Reject Proposition.
The navy department also has re-
! ceived cablegram from Rear Admiral
Glass, commander-in-chiefo of the Pa
cific squadron, from Panama under
date of the 21st, stating that the con-
ference of Gen. Reyes and the author
tiles of Panama was without result
and that Gen. Reyes had sailed for the
United States. 1t is believed here that
aside from a proposition for Panama to
assume part of the Colombian foreign
debt, Gen. Reyes main purpose is to
advance the suggestion that the cap
ital of Colombia be transferred to the
City of Panama. This is equivalent to
the annexation of Colombia by Pan
ANA. The opinion in official circles
bers is that, though f1attering, the
proposition will be rejected by the
Panama commissioners, If for no 9TH
er reason than because through sheer
weight of numbers the Colombians
soon would control the administration
of the reunited republic, and the stu
alton as to Panama would be as it was
before the revolution and separation
1t is understood that the commits
sion from Bolivar, which has arrived
here, has no definite programme for it's
movements, but it is probable that
when Gen. Reyes arrives in Washing
ton about the end of the month there
will be general conference of the va
rious Colombian and Panama ele-
mentS.
