Reason of Gen. Reyes' Delay.
Washington, Dec. 18.—Because of
the determination of General Reyes to
support the contention he makes in
his brief, that this or that phase of
this government’s isthmian policy wax
against precedence by historical ref-
erences as well as by high authori-
ties of international law. the prepara-
tion of the papers to be presented to
the State Department is not in any
haste to send it. for this may be takeij
by the Colombians as the termination,
of their envay's mission here and tin*
country might seize on the opportunity
to make war. a contingency which
General Reyes has thus far used his
utmost endeavor to prevent.
No cablegrams reached the Colom
liian legation over night. The dele
gallon officials are not inclined to pass
upon the right of the Atlanta to make
a reconnoiter on Colombian territory
hut it Is evident that in their opinion
such action was not strictly in ac-
cordance with tho best international
etiquette.
General Reyes is following with
keen Interest the canal debate in the

been profoundly impressed by the
speech of Senator Hoar. Copies of
