HAS NOTHING
TO TAKE BACK
General Reyes Says His Tribute t?
Spain Was Appropriate,
HE HAS BEEN CONGRATULATED
American D'iejates Were Pleased With
His Speech?SHgh? .Misunderstanding
About Select Sessions?Secreta?
ries Took O??ense.
(By Associate?] Fioss.)
MEXICO CITY. Oct. CS.?General Raefiel
Reyes, delegate to the Pan-American Con?
gress from Colombia, and president o?
?that"country, said to-day to the repre?
sentative of The Associated Press, in al?
lusion to the Washington comment "on his
speech at the banquet of Mexico's City
Council to the delegates in which he paid
tribute to Spain:
* 1 see nothing to modify in my words
if properly understood. On the one hand
it seemed to me natural. and proper on
an occasion when the representatives of
all the nations of Spanish origin of this
continent were .gathered together, to re?
call the common source of our civilization
and pay a tribute of gratitude to our
common mother country: on the other
lttind. 1 statini that 1 believed the United
States delegates, as representatives of a
generous people, would endorse that act
as eminently right and proper. I also
affirmed that the mission of the United
States was one of progress, civilization
and liberty, which we would carry over
the continent by means of its railroads
and industries. 1 see no incompatibility
between those sentiments and the recog?
nition that in all the interests .of the
American continent the United States
ought to take the lead as along wit la
Mexico it did in convening this confer?
ence."
General Reyes added that he had been
privately congratulated? on his speech by
Mr. Davis and John Barrett, the United
States delegates, so that evidently tliey
had seen nothing blameworthy in ii.
SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING.
A slight misunderstanding occurred at
this morning's ssssion. When the mem?
bers of the Congress assembled in the
hall of sessions the Mexican delegation
announced that it desired to hold'a secret
session of delegates, -excluding the secre?
taries of the delegations. Some of the
secretaries took offense and on leaving
the room declared they would not return.
11 developed that the subject which it
was desired' to treat in secret was an In?
cident at the banquet1 of th?3 City Coun?
cil, when only the delegates were invited
and no secretaries. This was a-necessary
measure, as no loom in the City Hall
would have been large enough to con?
tain the party had the secretaries been
j invited, especially as some of the South
American delegations have as many or
more secretaries than delegates.
It was desired at the secret session to
explain the occasion for non-invitation
to the secretaries, and to say that no
slight had been intended, but curiously
enough the action taken to remove the
offense" resulted in giving new offense.
The session this morning was taken up
with discussions of regulations.
The comments of the German press on
Itha Pan-American Congress furnished
much matter for informal discussion
among the delegates 10-day.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
No one has yet been arrested for the

Although the coroner's jury rendered a
verdict that the deceased came to bis
death by heat and suffocation after being
foully dealt with by parties unknown,
there seems to be really no clue to the
guilty party. The evidence indicating
foul play is the fact that the shanty ?.vas
locked from the outside, and about a.half
hour or such a matter before the lire cries
of distress were heard in the direction of
