HIS DEPARTURE IS DELAYED Bhocld the Answer Give 'Any Ground For Further Hope For Colombia the Negotiations May Be Further ProlonKed. Washington, Jan. 3. Gen. Reyes has not received the reply of the Wash ington government to his r.ote in which he officially charges thi United States with violating the treaty of 1846 In preventing Colombia troopu 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 expediency of further pour parlers, Gen. Reyes can not fix the date for his departure for home. If the answer gives hope of any action by the United States In the di rection of relief for Colombia, however small, the negotiations probably will continue. If the note be final in Its re fusal to consider any of the proposals of Gen. Reyes, it will, in the eyes of Colombia, assume the form of an ul timatum, and Gen. Reyes and Dr Her ran will lose no time In leaving the country. Their departure will mark the suspension of diplomatic relations be tween the two countries. OUR TRADE WITH GERMANY.
