Mr. Snyder to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

(Mr. Snyder reports that he has received information that volunteers are coming back in bad condition; that an expedition on the 9th instant left Department of Santander for the coast.

He states that a feeling of indifference prevails in Colombia with little unfriendly remarks. The Government has again taken up the question of the severing of diplomatic relations, and it will be determined on Monday, 29th.)
