A. DIPLOMAT DROWNED.
Colombia's Former Representative
at Washington Loses His Life.

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.-The Co
lombian Legation has received an Off
cial cablegram from Bogota announc-
ing that General Rengiffo until re-
Gently the Colombian representative at
Washington, and one of the best
known South American diDlomatists,
has been drowned in the Magdalena
River It is believed that a num-
Der of others We're drowned at the

General Rengiffo left Washington a
few months ago to become Secretary
of the Treasury of the Colombian Cab
met. While here he was prominent in
official and social circles, and married
an American girl. Miss Regina Bar
bour, daughter of James Barbour OF
this city.
Madame Rengiffo is now at Wash

husband at Quito next month, and is
Frustrated with the sad intelligence.
The dispatch came to Senior Ceurvo
Marques, the Colombian Charge daft
faires, who is acting in the absence of
the Minister. The officials had known
of the trip General Rengiffo was about
to take up the river. He left Bogota
on the 18th inst, arriving at Baran-
quillo on the 10th. On that date a
small river steamer proceeded toward
Quito. 1t is thought that the drown
ing occurred while General Rengiffo
was on this steamer and the attend
ing circumstances lead officials to be-
lieve that other passengers on the
steamer suffered the same fate.
The South American diplomatic cir
Gle was much affected at the news of
General Rengiffo's death, and num-
ber of them called on Madame Rem
giffo to leave their cards and present
their condolences.
General Rengiffo was konwn both a.
military and a civil official. When
the last revolution broke out in Colom-
bia he was called home and given
command Of the southern division of
the army, which did the hardest fight
