RESPONSE TO REYES
Hay Again Refuses to Reopen
Panama Question.
GENERAL IS WANTED At BOGOTA
Suggestion Has been Made That
There De n Reunion of the Two
Governments, Panama to Con-
troll the Canal.

troA the CnnaA.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Secretary
Hay has sent another communication
to General Rafael Reyes, the Colombo
an envoy, in response to his protest
against the action Of the United States
regarding affairs on the isthmus Of
Panama. While state department Off
cials decline to make any specific state
ment as to its nature, 1t is understood
that in a general way it follows the
lines laid down in the reply to General
Reyes f1rst note, which practically de-
clines TO reopen the Panama question.
General Reyes second note differed In
some important respects from that first
sent by him to the state department.
The first contained general statement
Of the grievances, important and minor,
which Colombia asserts she has suf-
fered as a result Of the Interpretation
placed by the United States on the
treaty Of 1916. This note also. while
not specifically making protest. by its
very nature involved the presentation
OF one later on. The second communi-
Nation, TO which an answer was re-
turned Saturday, dealt with considera-
BILE detail on certain specific points re-
garded as highly important and merit
ing special consideration and presented
an emphatic formal protest against the
action of the United States in Panama
matters. Secretary Hays answer, 1t is
said, follows the lines of the recent
message OF President Roosevelt 10 con-
gress on the Panama question Justify
ing the steps taken by the United
States government on the subject.
General Reyes is ready to leave the
city at any time for Colombia, where
his personal and political interests re-
quire his attention. 1t was 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 newspa-
per reporters on the plea that he was
very busy, From the standpoint of the
state department there is no reason
why he should hasten his departure. as
AS AiibHt 'SiJ Neh leIidlH ana fenuer
considerable service to his country.
The suggestion has been made that
possibly he might remain and make an
effort to open diplomatic relations with
the republic Of Panama through its
representative here for the adjustment
Of such questions as the assumption
by Panama Of portion of the exterior
debt of Colombia. Some suggestion
also has been made, though not Off
cially, Of a reunion of the two govern
ments under the name OF the republic
of Colombia, Panama to have an au-
tonomous government, with absolute
authority to deal with all questions re-
lating to the control Of canal matters.

Triumphs of MoGern surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced ;
pipes take the place Of diseased sec
tions Of veins; antiseptic dressings
are applied to wounds, bruises, burns
and like injuries before inflammation
sets in, which causes them to heal
without maturation and in Onc-third
the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. It Is an an
tiseptic and when applied TO such in,
iuries, causes them to heal very quick
ly. 1t also allays the pain and sore
ness. Keep a bottle OF Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you
time and money, not to mention the
inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by f. J
