THE RECALL OF THE

Conjecture as to Course to Be Pursued
at Washinaton.

Washington. Feb. 22-Just how the
state department will be notified off,
cially Of General Ospina's recall is a
matter Of conjecture. 1t is scarcely
expected that the minister viii be put
In the embarrassing position of being
required to present to the state de-
partment his own letters of recall. In
the ordinary course he would quietly
withdraw from Washington and per-
NIT his successor to present the off,
cial letters of recall with his own cre-
dentials as Colombian minister. Mean
while the American minister. Mr.. Du-
bois, is expected to advise the depart
ment officially what has taken place.
A normal ouecome of the present
situation would be the extension by the
Colombian government of federal in
vitation to Secretary Knox to visit Car
tageAa, according to the terms Of the
original itinerary Of the secretary's
Central and South American tour. In
that case the investigation probably
will be transmitted through Minister
Dubois.
Colombian Minister Recalled.
Bogota. Colombia, Feb. 22.-General
Pedro Mel Ospina, the Colombian min
lister to the United States, was recalled

The action of the Colombian govern
ment was taken because neither it nor
the Colombian people upholds the po-
sition taken up by the Colombian min
ister at Washington in notifying the
state department that the visit to Co
lombia of Secretary Of State Knox
would be inopportune owing to the
fact that the Colombians' claims In
