Senator Lodge tells President Roosevelt that he visited Wayne MacVeagh. MacVeagh had spoken with General Rafael Reyes of Colombia and was in receipt of a new draft memo detailing terms for a treaty and asking the United States to work to reunite Panama and Colombia. Overall, Lodge thinks that the memo offered a reasonable basis for negotiation, and while it may not lead to anything it may be worth following up on to show that the United States has made an effort. Lodge also suggests a future meeting between Secretary of State John Hay and Reyes.
