WAR PROSPECT
70. ---
Details of Recent Political
Disturbance Have at
Last Leaked Out.
|PLOT TO KILL THE
PRESIDENT FAILURE
Prominent Men Who We're
in On Scheme Imprison-
ed or Forced to Flee.

Willemstead, Curacao, June 13.-
Details of the recent political dis
turbance in Venezuela, where large
number of prominent men were I'M
prisoned or took to flight following &C
cusations of conspiracy against the
government, reached here today.
It is stated that plot to assassinate
President Juan Vincente Gomez was
frustrated by the Imprisonment of
General Delgado Chalbaud and num-
ber of his friends. The plot was to
have been carried out at the in
auguration of the Venezuela Automo.
bile club few weeks ago.
An announcement made by the gov
ernment says: t-..a. 49,. 2
"The plot was uncovered through
General Manuel Corao, who flatly re-
fused to join in the conspiracy. When
invited to become party to the plot,
he started toward Miraflores palace to
inform the president Of the danger.
On his way he was shot at, but
escaped injury. The information he
gave to the president led to the i'm
prisonment of the plotters." ..
Jealousy Charged.
In circles in which General Chal-
baud is well known it is stated there
was no plot of any kind against
Gomez. The president is declared to
have imprisoned General Chalbaud be-
cause of jealousy and fear that he
might become a candidate for the
presidency next, April.
In, connection with the approaching
campaign for the presidency next
April there is much speculation in
Caracas. Many believe that Gomez
will try to succeed himself, although
such action is contrary to the consti-
tuition. If this is impossible he will
endeavor to secure the election Of one
of his trusted friends. In either event
it Is considered certain that some trou-
BILE will follow. I'LL. ~
Should disorder break out, General
Gomez has a great many things in his
favor. The army Is in splendid condi-
ton. The officers are loyal to him and
there is plenty of money in the govern
ment treasury. Besides these ad-
vantages on the side of the administra-
ton, merchants in Venezuela, who are
at present enjoying great prosperity,
are not inclined to support any move
ment which would interfere with their
welfare.
