REYES WILL RETURN At

Colombia's Envoy Leaves Wash
ingtOn for New York, Where
He VIII Embark.
HAY IGNORES THREAT

WASHINGTON, Jan. u.-Gen Rafael
Reyes. the Colombian envoy, who has been
in Washington In connection with the Pan
anna matter for about a month, left the city
at midnight for New York, preparatory for
his departure for Colombia in few days.
Preceding him went General Ospina, who
came here with General Reyes as his legal
adviser. and who left for New York on an
earlier train. General Ospina, however, does
not expect to return Immediately to Co
lombia, as he has business interests in the
United States demanding his attention.
The departure of General Reyes does not
constitute the breaking of diplomatic rela-
tions with the United States, but merely
the suspension of the negotiations which
have been going on with the State Depart
ment. having in view the refrigeration of
Panama as part of the United States Of
Colombia. Whether they will be resumed
hereafter is not known.
DR.. Herran. the Colombian charge, re-
mains in Washington to attend TO legation
business other than Panama matters. 1t is
not likely that he will leave the city for
two months, at least, if then. His future
movements are quite undetermined. Ad-
vices which have reached here from Colon
bia show that there is still considerable eX-
element there over the attitude the
United States has taken in the Panama
matter.
The Associated Press has been informed
that General Rafael Reyes, in his last note
to the State Department, threatened to pub
lish the correspondence between himself
and the State Department if the Depart
ment did not see fit to send ii to the SEN
ate. or make it public
The State Department ignored the threat
of General Reyes, that he would make pub
lie the correspondence, If the Department
failed 10 do or send II to the Senate.
