WILL AWAIT REPLY,
In the Meantime Gen. Reyes Cannot
Forecast His Action.

General Rafael Reyes, the Colombian spe-
cial envoy. has not yet received the reply of
the Washington government to his note, in
which he officially charged the United
States with violating the treaty of 1S46 in
preventing Colombian troops from landing
on the 1sthmus of Panama for the purpose
of putting down the recent rebellion.
Until he knows the character of that reply
and whether 1t precludes the expedlency of
further pourparlers General Reyes cannot
fix the date Of his departure for home. II
the reply Of this government gives hope of
any action by the United States in the d.
rection of relief for Colombia. however
small, the negotiations probably will con-
tfnue. If the note be final in its refusal to
consider any Of the proposals of General
Reyes it will. In the eyes of Colombia's rep
resentative. assume the form of an ulti-
matum, and General Reyes and DR.. Herran
will lose no time in returning to Colombia.
Their departure will mark the suspension
OF diplomatic relations between the two
countries.

DECLINES TO TALK.
Rumor Of Meeting Of Catholic Heir
archY in This City.


It Is understood a special meeting OF the
American hierarchy Of the Catholic Church
has been called to be held January 81 In
this city. A conference of the trustees of
the Catholic University of America Is also
understood to have been ordered to spe-
cially consider the interests of the univer.
sity
The rector of the university Is out of the
city today. having gone to South Carolina
to spend the holidays with relatives At
the university this afternoon it was said
the question of holding the meetings re-
ferred to had been discussed. but no one
could be found who cared to give out any
definite informa ton.
It Is understood the hierarchy will be
convened to discuss the project Of creating
a primate in the United States. and that
the findings of the council will be carried
to Rome by Archbishop Farley of New
York. This. 1t Is believed. will be one of
the most important councils OF the HER
archy since that of Baltimore in 1884.
The establishment Of primate in this
country would, 1t Is said result in the
withdrawal of the apostolic delegate at
Washington and the transfer of Mgr. Fall
COMIC to some European post
1t Is said that Cardinal Gibbons Is the
only member Of the hierarchy who has
been mentioned by the bishops for the new
honor. The cardinals present rank Of
quasi primate is only honorary, carries no

that tradition has made the archbishop Of
Baltimore by courtesy the primate of the
hierarchy of America.
It Is also said that Pope Plus has ex-
pressed his belief that the United States
should havs her own primate with juris-
diction covering that now held by the apos-
tolic delegate. Archbishop Ireland spoke
In favor OF the plan some months ago.
Another project to come under consider
alton at this special meeting Of the HER
archy, 1t is understood. will be the convo-
cation of another plenary council. It Is
stated that If the primacy Is not establish
ed the calling Of the council will follow.
In November the plan to establish a see
at Washington, separate from and inde-
pendent of the Baltimore diocese, was sent
to Rome. 1t is understood that this special
council Of the archbishops Is the result of
this petition. but that the plan OF dividing
the Baltimore archdiocese has failed. Arch
bishop Ireland is understood to have been
Endorsed for the Washington see.
dispatch from Baltimore states that
when Cardinal Gibbons was seen today in
reference to the published statement that
the American hierarchy of the Catholic
Church will meet in Washington January
81 to discuss the project of creating a
primate in the United States and that the
findings of the council will be carried to
Rome by Archbishop Farley. he declined
to be interviewed on the subject beyond
saying that the whole matter rests with
