General Rafael Reyes the Colombian envoy warned the State Department he would publish the correspondence between himself and Washington if not made public or sent to the Senate. The department ignored the threat and Reyes departed for New York en route to Colombia, while Colombia’s position remains unsettled and Herran stays in Washington. Senator Morgan introduced a concurrent resolution urging the President to pursue an Isthmus canal via the Costa Rica and Nicaragua route. The Senate later tabled a motion to reconsider the nomination of W. I Buchanan as minister to Panama, affirming his full diplomatic powers despite protests that the post did not yet exist when appointed. General Gordon’s death note reaches Berlin where his daughter Mrs Orton B Brown mourns and travels south with her husband.
