WASHINGTON, Oct S1.-Mail advices
received here contain brief reference to
conspiracy having for its object the
ousting CT Vice President Marroquin, the
acting executive of the Colombian repub-
lie.
The coup d'etat was scheduled to take
place on the 2Sd Of September, and was
said TO be the outcome Of dissatisfaction

for q short time, after which General

As shown by the press dispatches, how
ever tho plot failed. General Ospina's
connection with the alleged blot. ii is
said, was after his resignation as Min
tsuer OF War, resulting from the late
Cabinet crisis while he was in that office,
ss would be the natural inference from
the press dispatches. The whole affair is
regarded as very unfortunate for Colon
