REYES IS WAITING.
Has Not Yet Received Reply From
 United States.

Washington, Jan. 2-General Reyes has not yet received the reply of the Wash ington Government to his note in which he officially charges the United States with violating the treaty of lS46 in pre- venting Colombian troops landing on the isthmus for the purpose of putting down the rebellion.
 Until he knows the character of this reply and whether it precludes the expe. diency of further pour parfers, General Reyes cannot fix the date for his depart- ure for home. If the answer gives hope of any action by the United States in the direction of relief for Colombia, however small. the negotiations probably will con- tinue.
 If the note be final in its refusal to consider any of the proposals of General Reyes, 1t will. in the eyes of Colombia, assume the form of an ultimatum and General Reyes and Dr. Herran will lose no time in leaving the country. Their de- parture will make the suspension of dip- lomatic relations between the two coun- tries

Clubs and fists met the rush the moment 1t began, the police and the em- ployes of the theater rushing the crowd and literally lifting the leaders from their. feet and forcing them into seats.
 The attack from the police from the front was sudden as had been the, fire alarm and served in a moment to quiet the crowd and avert what could not have failed to have been a murderous stam- pede.
