Three Countries Reported in a Combin
Against Colombia.


Three Countries Reported in a Combin,
Against Colombia.
New York, Aug. I7.-News has been
received in this city involving Venezuela
Nicaragua and Ecuador in the attempt
of General Tribe Tribe, the Colombian
rebel leader, to overthrow the govern.
ment of Colombia.
I A year ago it was known to the Co.
lombian authorities that the rebels un-
! der Tribe were receiving material aid
from these republics and recent devel.
opments and information received by
Colombian agents confirm the belief
that these counties are preparing open
and simultaneous attacks on Colombia.
: 1t has been further learned that the
plan Of attack has practically been
agreed upon. Large numbers of Nicar.
aguans have already joined the rebels
in the department of Panama, and it
will be these marauding bands the
United States will have to deal with if
1t becomes necessary to land marines at
Colon or Panama to protect American
interests.
Venezuela's point of attack will nat
urally be from the Colombian Venezue.
Ian hordes, where the recent battles are
reported to have taken place between
Venezuelan regulars and an invading
army, commanded, according to vene-
zuelan authorities, by General Gonzalez
Valencia. It is somewhat doubtful, how.
ever, if General Venlencia had any.
thing to do with this movement unless
war has already broken out between
Venezuela and Colombia.
II the present plans are carried out,
the rendezvous of the Ecuadorean in.
vaders will be in the southern part of
Couca, where two Colombian rebel gen.
erals are now said to be encamped with
1000 troops.
A number Of the officers in the army
OF Colombia, were educated in the
United States. Many of the native off,
GERS have been trained by Captain H.
Lemly of the United States artillery, re-
tired, brother of Captain Lemly, judge
advocate Of the navy. Captain Lemly
was military instructor in Colombia for !
several years.
The new minister of war of Colombia.
General Pedro Ospina, has also felt the
effect OF American influence. He is
one of three brothers who were educated
At the University Of California. His
father, General Marine Ospina, was
president of Colombia from 1857 to 1860,
and was deposed as the result of a revo-
Iution led by General Mosquera, gov
srnor OF the state of Cauca, who was
aggrieved because Of the alleged inter-
ference of the national government in
ocal matters.
