REPLY TO REYES
His Mission to Washington Ends
with the Utter Failure of
Its Purpose.
mo" TO ALL THAT H PROPOSED
Request for Submission of the Corre-
spondence to the Senate Is
Resented.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Secretary Hay
has sent another communication to
General Rafael Reyes. the Colombian
envoy. in response to his protest
against the action of the United States
regarding affairs on the isthmus of
Panama While state department oti-
cials decline 10 make any specific state
ment as to its nature it is understood
that in a general way it follows the
lines laid down in the reply to Gen
eral Reyes first note, which practical
ly declined to reopen the Panama ques-
ton.
Second Note "a Formal Protest.
General Reyes second note differed
in some important respects from that
first sent by him to the state depart
ment The first contained 4 general
statement of the grievances. important
and minor. which Colombia asserts she
has suffered as Il result of the inter
preta ton placed by the United States
on the treaty of 1916. This note also,
while not specifically making Il pro
test. by It's very nature involved the
presentation of one later on. The sec
Ond cOmmun' ca ton. to which Il reply
has lust been returned, dealt with con-
siderable detail on certain specific
points regarded as highly important
and meriting special consideration. and
presented an emphatic formal protest
against the action of the United States
in Panama matters.
REYES Request Is Resented.
Secretary Hays answer. it is said,
follows the lines of the recent message
o. President Roosevelt to congress on
the Panama question. justifying the
steps taken by the United States on
the subject. The secretary'S reply
does not discuss with General Reyes
ore matter which he urged in his sec
ond note--namely. the transmission to
the senate of the correspondence which
has passed between himself and the
state department. 1t is known that
the officials of the state department
resented the suggestion of General
Reyes as highly improper. and for this
reason its answer does not discuss this
request The matter of sending the
correspondence with General Reyes
to the senate has not yet been de
termined by the president.
Nothing for Us to Arbitrate.
General Reyes last note also con-
tained some reference to the SubmiS-
sion of disputed points to arbitration,
but state department officials say there
is nothing in the present situation for
The Hague tribunal. if any reference
to that court was intended. General
Reyes is ready to leave the city a. any
time for Colombia. where his personal
and political interests require his at
tention. 1t is said that he might leave
this country within the next ten days,
but no information was Obtainable
from General Reyes on that subject,
as he declined to see newspaper report
ers.

There are many practical purposes to
which a poi dog can be put other than
serving him up as the chief edible at

week to polish one set Of horns One
of the best things we polish with is

INFLUENZA is always more or less
prevalent at This season of the year
This disease is very similar to a severe
cold and if allowed TO take its course
is liable to cause serious results. The
best treatment for influenza is to avoid
exposure and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This medicine gives imme-
date relief and if used as directed, will
ward off all dangerous consequences.
