PLOT IS SPOILED.
Conspirators Planned to KIN All State |
Officials in Nicaragua.

Managua, Nicaragua, Nov. 6.@The
frustrated plot to assassinate Presi-
dent Adolfo Diaz of Nicaragua and
his cabinet ministers on October ~
was laid by the consiprators with re-
markable care, according to details
published here today.
The plotters, members of the liberal
party, divided themselves into three
groups. The first Of these was
charged with the work Of killing the
president and two cabinet ministers;
the second was to assassinate Vice
President Fernando Solorzano and the
minister of foreign affairs, and the
third group was to throw dynamite
bombs among the members of the
chamber of deputies while in session
on the afternoon of October 20. Dis
covery of the conspiratOrs while they
were holding a meeting to arrange the
final details of the plot was accidental.
Nearly all of those connected with the
affair have been arrested.
