Stomp Out Uprising
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
BOGOTA, Colombia, July IL
A state of emergency was pro-
claimed throughout Colombia
today by Vice President Dario
Echandia, who announced last
night that he had assumed the
acting presidency after rebellious
army officers seized President
Alfonso Lopez.
Lopez remained a prisoner of the
rebels at Paste. in Southern CO.
lombia, where he and several cabi-
net members were surrounded and
carried off while they were witness
ing army maneuvers.
Numerous army garrlsons and
prominent Colombian military lead
ers today declared their loyalty to
President Lopez War Minister
Gen. Domingo Espinel condemned
the movement against the govern
ment and announced confidence it
would soon be suppressed.
"a dispatch from Panama said
Bogota advices estimated the
Paste garrison numbered about
5000 men. The situation in Bo-
gotta was described as orderly)

Dario Echandia. who held tightly
to the government reins in Bo-
gotta along with other officials OF
the Lopez administration. empha-
sized he was determined to stamp
out &c revolt. Ee said he wouloi
exercise the functions of President
until Lopez was treed
The acting President said the
leader OF the Army group. 1t. Col
Diogenes Gil. had proclaimed him

Echandia labeled Ian act Of indi-
vidual madness"
Dario Echandia, declaring that
the army's name is unstained by
any subversiye movement" said only
a small group had taken part in the
uprising. He expressed belief that
the army would help re-establish
order and called on the Nation to
accord it the fullest confidence"
"a broadcast by the Colombian
radio at Cartagena. heard in San
Jose, Costa Rica. said loyal troops
were marching toward the Narino
Department., in which Pasto is
located.)
Lopez has been the target of con-
SDiracieS on several Occa Sions tho
first time in 1884 less than two
months after he first was chosen
President. This plot centered at
Paste, the same place he now is held
prisoner.
He went out OF Office in 1898, but
was reelected In 1912 for, another

Or become encircled."
The capture of Pinsk would elm
mate the bulge which the Germans
long have held on the Soviet front.
Already the Red Army has two-
thirds of the Pripet MARSHES be-
hind it.
There had been some belief in
Moscow that the Nazis might try TO
make an all-out stand on the long
water line formed with the Nlcmen

swept across the Czczara and cap+
tured Slonim so quickly that this is
out.
The advances have now carried
