Conflicting Reports Concerning the Battle
of Colamar

Conflicting Reports Concerning the Battle
of Colamar
PANAMA, July 25.-Late news from the seat of
war IN Colombia is that the last battle of Cola
mar, reported to be government success was
not so, properly speaking. The slaughter was
nearly equal on both sides, and the revolutions
lsts who made the attack, retired in good order
to their steamers. A telegram from Gen. Rafael
Reys, chief of staff on the government side,
says there is much disorder and confusion in the
rebel camp, that Generals Carnage and Gatau
are hopelessly at variance as to the proper
conduct of the campaign; that epidemic diseases
are carrying OFF many men and officers; that de-
sertions are frequent, and that the fate of the
revolution is surely sealed. There is not much
sickness in the government camp at Colamar
and the losses by disease are more serious than
those inflicted in battle.
The official report of the battle of Colamar oc
July is as follows:
"The enemy dsembarked July l, in Barran-
cua, employing their seven steamers. and then
cut the telegraph line. Afterwards the
steamers proceeded to this place
in order of battle. Artillery fire was opened
from both sides, and afterwards the
infantry opened fire because the enemy estab
lished line of skrmishers on the island in front
enemy re-embarked their people in Barrancua,
and the steamers were prevented from passing
this port on their voyage. The artillery fire of
the enemy was q fasco. We have only six
wounded, and none of the wounds of any
consequence. The enthusiasm Of the army is
indescrbable. With this brilliant force and the
favor ot God the victory is ours"

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, July 26-William Stewart,
the negro who was arrested on Thursday on
authority OF telegram from the Indianapolis
police, and who was shot and badly wounded by
deputy Marshal Cox while attempting to es-
cape, has been released and his way paid home
to Seymour. The indianapolis police failed to
come for him. Now William Stewart will sue
the city for false arrest and damage for being
shot There is considerable feeling among the
colored people, and they have subscribed quite a
sum to be used in employing attorneys for Stew
art. Hon. r. B. f. Peirce has the case in
charge, and it is claimed that the city will have
to pay damages. The next time the indianapolis
police want anyone arrested they will probably
be glad to come for their man when he is ready
for them.
