HERRAN REMAINS ON SCENE

Washington. Jan. f1.-0eneral Rafael Reyes.' the Colombian envoy, who has been in Washington in connection with the Panama matter for month. left the city at midnight for New York, prepara- tory to his departure for Colomhia in Q few days.
 The departure of General Reyes does not constitute the breaking of diplomatic relations with the United States, but merely the suspension of the negotiations which have been going on with the State Department having in view the reintegra- ton. of Panama as a part of Colombia. Whether they will be resumed hereafter is not known.
 pr. Herran. the Colombian Charge. re- mains in Washington to attend to lega- tion business other than Panama matters. It is not likely that he will leave the city for two months at least. if then. His future movements are quite undetermined. Advices which have reached hero from Colombia show that there is stin consid- erable excitement there over the attitude the United States has taken in the Pan- anna matter.

BUCHANAN MINISTER
MOTION TO RECONSIDER LAID
 ON THE TABLE.
Senator Morgan of Alabama Attacks Right of President to Make the Appointment-Replies by
 Spooner and Allison,

Washington, Jan. 1.-The Senate in executive session today laid on the table the motion to reconsider the confirmation of the nomination of W. I. Buchanan. to be Minister to Panama. The vote was sS to 16. divided on party lines. with the exception of Senator Mo Creary (Dem., Ky.) who voted with the Republicans.
 By this action MT. Buchanan now has full powers to act for this government in all diplomatic exchanges between the United States and the new republic.
 The motion to reconsider the confirma- tion was made before the holidays by Senator Morgan, thus withholding for three weeks MT. Buchanan's commission as Minister. In the meantime Mir. Buchanan had arrived on the isthmus where he occupied the position as pri- vate citizen except for a special com mission to act as the personal represen- tative of the President in gathering in- formation regarding existing conditions there
 Senator Morgan took the floor when the Senate went into executive session today. He made a general protest against the confirmation of Mir. Buchanan as Min ister, on the ground that the position to which the President had made the ap- continent was not in existence at the time the appointment was made and could not be created without the cooperation of the Senate.
 Senator Spooner answered for the Re- publicans. He cited numerous authorities and precedents fin support of the Presi- dents action. Senator Allison also spoke briefly in support of the administration, while Senators Bacon and Culberson favored the Democratic contention. The motion to lay Mir. Morgan's motion on the table was made by Mir. Lodge.

London, Jan. 1.-The War Ofice to- night gave out the following dispatch which had been received from Major Gen eral Egerton, commanding the Somaliland expeditionary force. and which is dated from Jidballi. Somaliland, January Il:
 Advanced from this place twelve miles to Jidballi. First brigade commanded by Manning, second brigade under Faskins. and mounted troops under Kenna.

Dervishes advanced. but were un- able to face the frontal fire, coupled with flank attack. Enemy broke and ded and was pursued ten miles. Dervishes killed estimated at 1000. mostly in the pursuit. Many prisoners and 400 rifles taken.
 T regret to report that two officers of regulars were killed and nine officers wounded: five of the rank and file wound- ed; of native troops seven killed and six teen wounded; of irregulars, two killed and two wounded.

New Orleans. Jan. 10.-The following has been issued from United Confederate Veterans headquarters:
 Headquarters United Confederate Vet
 erans. New Orleans, La. Jan. 10, 1904. General Order No. 1:
 Tn compliance with Section ?, Article 3, of the bylaws of the United Confed- crate Veterans organization, I hereby assume command of the federation.
 "The stan of the late commander-in- chief is hereby continued as the staff of the present commanding general. and will be obeyed and respected according ly. Stephen D. Lee" General Order No. 2:
 Death, who strikes with equal hand at the door of the cottages and the pal ace gate, has been busy at his appointed work He has this time invaded the precincts of the federation of the United Confederate Veterans. carrying off it's chief executive. the noble, gallant. chiv- alrous and patriotic John B. Gordon.
 "Yes, the most honored and beloved of all our comrades is no more. He has passed over the river and now rests with his comrades on the other side. No an nouncement could cause more poignant sorrow to the survivors of the Confeder- ate armies than the brief statement that Gen. John B. Gordon is dead.
 SklllIu1 III COumanus with aDlllIy sec ond only to the immortal Lee. brave in action beyond comparison, shirking nc responsibility, and fearing no danger fin battle, he was an ideal soldier. in civil life ever looking to the welfare of the people of the State of winch he was chief executive and which he represented In the Senate of the United States; constantly laboring for the improvement of the con- dition of those with whom he was asso- ciated, he was a model citizen.
 AS the commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans organiza- ton from It's birth to his death, he ever threw his powerful influence to the bet torment of the affairs of his old army as- sociates, or those dependent on them. Full of love for all, pure in mind. heart and behavior, a consistent follower of his Maker. he was possibly the greatest representative of the old courtly South ern gentleman, and his place csSnot be filled.
 His military career is an open book known and read of all men. and no words of the commanding general can add aught to it.
 Each camp of this federation will at once take such action as it deems best calculated to express its esteem, afEee.

 shall not only explain, but disprove many Of the statements made tn the evidence now here for consideration, before con firmation should be thought of. The fact that he is willing to let this investigation go on without personally meeting it like q man is in itself strong evidence to my mind that he is not made of the material that goes to make up soldiers such as we need for our major generals and chiefs of staff"
 Senator Scott commented on the evil dence introduced tending to reflect direct ly upon General Woods character as a man by impeaching his integrity and and then after summing up other charges says: ITO my mind a most. grev0us injustice has been done in the preference of Gen. eral Wood over @ hundred or more old army officers-ofiicers who won distinc- ton on many bloody battlefeld-battle- fields where more lives were lost and more prisoners taken in one day than dur ing the entire Spanish-American war;"

This communication VIII give complete story of the negotiatinns with Japan including the latest nesotia- uons- The correspondent says:
 The Czar wishes, as he told Count Lamsdorff. that the whole truth shan be given to the public. He is personally against war and refuses to believe Chat it will come. He hopes to convince Japan that Russia's wishes arc reasonahle and must be respected.
 Accordingly the communication chiellv embraces five points:
 First, Japan will get various cones sions In Corea-
