New Panama Treaty Signed. The Hay-Uunau-Varilla Isthmian canal treaty was signed at the resi dence of Secretary Hay by the secra Uiry and Philippe Bunau-Varilla, the minister from Panama. Tho treaty Is a much simpler doc ument than the Hay Herran treaty though it follows Its general lines. Absolute sovereignty Is awarded the United States over the canal strip and the convention, It Is said, In every way meets the requirements of the Spooner act. The treaty In Its text cannot be made public at this moment for two reasons; first, because of the unwrlt tea law. which obliges the state de partment to await the pleasure of the senate In the matter of publicity, and second, because the president has mt yot determined when the convention shall be submitted to the senate for ratification.

General Reyes Tenders Thanks Through Admiral Coghlan.

Rear Admir al Coghlan, commander of the Carib bean squadron, cables the navy, de partment from Colon under date ol Nov. 21 that General Reyes, the spec ial commissioner of the Bogota gov ernment, tenders his sincere thanks to President Roosevelt and Secretary Moody for his gracious treatment al Colon by our naval force.. Admiral Coghlan further states that General Reyes expects to have amicable re lations with the special commission T8 from Panama, now in Washing ton. Admiral Glass, commander-in-chief of the Pacific squadron, has cabled from Panama stating thut the confer ence of General Rere.i and the author P.ies of Panama vas without result nnd that General Reyes had sailed for the United States. It Is believed here that aside from the proposition from Panama to as sume part of the Colombian foreign debt, General Reyes' main purpose Is to advance the suggestion that the capital of Colombia be transferred to (he city of Panama.
