Rtchic says Gen. Harrison was recalled in
consequence of rcmonstrance from Bolivar to
President Jackson
Lea chronology give the lie to the fabrication.
Gen. Harrison arrived at Bogoa. and commenced
his duties minister the 2:}d Observe the
da,,) February 1920. Nine days thereafter,
the lth March 1920, Gen. Jackson was inaugw-
lated ms President of tho L. Staes---and eierrs
doVs after Jackson's Inauguration, Thomas Z.
Moore was appointed minister 10 Colombia and
Cen. Harrison superseded. Mr.. Rives bad certi-
fed for Mr.. Moore and Mr. Moore for Mr.. Rives,
and these two gentlemen were the first to apply tor
and obtain their rewards for partzan services.
Than This statement that Harrison was recalled
upon Bolivar'S Inconsistencies as dates prove, there
mover was more unsupported Pigment. Harr'-
son recalled because Free Tom" Moore

Tits not true that Gen. Harrison became nvol-

the least foundation in truth, circulated in
Colombia that Harrison would put himself at the
head of the Liberals or Republicans, who had be-
conc deeply Jealous of Bolivar and suspected him

Nothing ELECTED but idle rumors of the nature
above alluded to. Officially, Gen. Harrison had
collision with Bolivar the Government Of
Colombia. AT his audience of leave he was ad-
dressed by the President himself Of the Liberal
party, in terms the fatiering and friendly.
lie announced that the intelligence of Gen. Hat
rison's appointment had been received in Colom-
bii with the highest qualification, and as the most
grateful evidence of the sympathy and respect of
the u. States for that Republic, and the manner in
which he had fulfilled the functions of Minister
had increased their respect for his character, and
inspired the deepest regret for his recall.
