WAR IN COLUMBIA.
Account OF the Battle i'm Which
1000 Men Were Killed.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Under date OF
July l Admiral Jouett has sent to the navy
department from Savarilla report of the
condition of affairs in the United States of
Columbia. lie makes mention OF battle
between the government forces and the rev.
olutionists, i'm which /. 600 men were said to
have been killed. The admiral SAYS: The
government troops, numbering about 1. 200.
have advanced from Carthagena TO COlomar.
on the banks of the Magdalena river. where
they are strongly intrenched. Colomar is
siXty-siX miles above Barranquilia- In adj
dition 10 this land force the govern
ment has now the efficient steamer
Carrica armed as a vessel OF war, and she Is
ready 10 patrol the coaS. or TO perform any
naval service which may be required of her.
Revolutionary forces number only about
>. 800 men. but the reyOlutiOniStS hold a
number of large river steamers, and are,
therefore. able to move about freely on the
Magdalema river. while the government
forces. having but two small steamers. are
Obliged to move by land, and are, therefore.
much impeded. On June 10 Gen. Camargo.
a very prominent Columbian politician and
leader. arrived at the port in an English
steamer. and upon landing Immediately as
sumed command of the
REVOLUTIONARY AIsTY.
The arrival of Gen. Camargo, who is a
most violent Liberal. effectually defeated
the efforts to secure peace by treaty. al
though there is no doubt but that those
efforts would have been successful If he
had remained away while longer. Gen.
CamargO attacked a force of about fifteen
hundred men with his whole army, and
although he claims TO nave won the battle.
admits that ne suffered a severe loss. which
included seven of his best generals. 1t is
reported that each side lost about five hun
dred men. The revolutionistS clearly i'll
tend to cOnfine their operations 10 Magda-
lena river and the interior. This, together
with the fact that the government has now
steam vessel of war ON the Allan
tic coast. insuTes this isthmuS and
vessels on the high sees against any chance
OF disturbance by the revolutiOniStS. 4 re-
port from the ISthmus of Panama indicates
that political matters remain settled. and
that peace and good order prevail there.
There is, however. an alarming epidemic of
yellow fever prevailing at Aspinwall and
all over the iSthmuS. Admiral Jouett saws
the crews of all the vessels of the squadron
that have remained are much debilitated by
their long stay in the tropics and the m-
ayOidaOle confinement ON board ship and
deprivation OF recpeatiOn.

Special to the Globe

Specldl 10 Tue GiODe-
WINNIPEG, July 20.-Riel was brought
into court to-day and the Indictment read
to him. Before pleading to the charges,
his counsel entered plea against the juris-
dictiOn Of the court, holding that the sti-
pendiary magistrate and jury of six
could not Try the cases in
vOlving capital punishmen for treason
and murder. Counsel for the crown filed il
demurrer setting forth the competence of
the court and holding that the trial
should proceed. The court Overruled
the objection of the defense. Counsel for
the defense then plead that information
against prisoners was defective, but this OBJ
lection was Overruled also and decided
that the trial should 90 on. Riel
plead not guilty to the charge against
him. The court then adjourned
for the day. Counsel for prisoner tO-mor-
row will ask for an adjournment for two
weeks to allow them to procure evil
dence, including that of Dumont and
DUMAS from Montana. The great rebel,
during the entire proceedings, was very
quiet, but frequently prompted the lawyers
on points occurring to him. He was not at all
disturbed and said that God was with him
and he had no fear as to the issue. Riel
was returned to the barracks, where he will
be kept safely every night until the close of
the trial

TELEGRAPH LITIGATION,
The Western Unions War on the
bankers and Merchants.

NEW YORK, July 20.-''There is no i'm
provement in the situation since Saturday, -
said Assistant Manager McAllister of the
Bankers and Merchants Telegraph COM
pany this morning. 1--WE cannot handle
our business. 1t seems strange that the
work done by the Western Union company
in few hours cannot be replaced in nearly
week. If they returned what they cut
we would have sixteen wires to Boston, four
to Albany, two to Buffalo, six to Pittsburg
and Chicago. As it now stands on what we
call state lines, we get Providence. Hart
ford and Meriden, but nothing east of them.
We get Utica, via Albany, but nothing
north of there. We get Philadelphia but
nothing west of there. as all our western
wires are open on the poles at Lancaster.

them. who will neither make the connec-
tiOnS themselves nor allow us to do so. We
have been here all night and all day. ex-
pectlng to hear from our principal points,
but up to the present time there is no i'm
prOvement. The Baltimore IL Ohio and
Postal companies have acted very nicely
toward us. If we could get those points |
have spoken of we could go right ahead, as
our connections west of Chicago are all
right. So far L have received no orders
from headquarters and cannot say what

Enrolling the Reds.


FORT RENO, Indian Ter, July 2O.-Not-
withstanding the oft-repeated declaration
of the Cheyennes that they would never
yield to the commands of the government
and be enrolled on the books of
the agency, discretion has supplanted
valor, and hundreds of Cheyenne tepees
are on the prairie near the agency. The
Arapahoes, who have not taken any part
in the present broil, are encamped near Fort
Reno, and the enrolment will take place
Tomorrow. The Indians do not like the
idea of census taking, since many head men
and chiefs have been drawing rations for
a much greater number of lodges
than actually exist. Stone Calf, one
of the most Obstreperous of the tribe, has
for some years drawn ratiOns representing
forty dodgers. He opposes the
new enrolment because he cam
not muster that number, and will
suffer corresponding diminution in the
amount of ratiOnS drawn. The military

review before Gen. Sheridan this morning,

BEING IN LINE.

The troops presented a very creditabIe
appearance despite the fact that some of
them have made forced marches to get to
the post. Were it not for the presence of
the military, the Indians would be more re-
calcitrant. Companies of Indian scouts are
being enlisted for service at Fort Sill, Fort
Reno and Camp Supply. The men who are
very anxious to enlist come from the young
bucks and warriors, and will act much
after the fashion of the Indian
police. The indications of trouble
are fast passing away, and the
real temper of the Indians will unquestion-
ably remain under the surface until some
definite action is taken as to the course to be
pursued with them. Gen. Sheridan is making
a very exhaustive examination into the con-
ditiOn of affairs. He will leave here for
the East on "Wednesday or Thursday. Re-
lays of horses are now being sent along the

Trial of Paymaster smith.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The court-mar-
tial appointed TO try PaymaSter General
Smith of the navy on the charges of scan-
dalOus conduct and culpable ineiliciency in
the performance of his duties met this
morning. The counsel for the defense fled
a demurrer, claiming that there was nothing
i'll the charges or specifications to show any
criminality on the part of the paymaSter
general, and hence he was not punishable.
Mr.. JEFF Chandler spoke for two hours in
support of the demurrer, claiming that the
accused could not be held responsible under
the law. He argued that it was an every
day occurrence for government lands TO be
changed or extended, and cited numerous
instances where the government had been
obliged To pay for such contracts. As
siStant Attorney General Maury. in behalf
of the prosecution. replied 10 Mr.. Chand-
lerS argument. He held that while
the paymaster general was not
considered guilty of crime. he was
hlamable for his dolngs as an official and
subject to punishment He said Smith had
doubled contracts and had ordered con-
tracts for one fiscal year paid out Of the ap-
prOpriatiOns for another, thus involving the
paymaSterS subject TO his order in cOmpli-
cations with the government. He declared
Smith had acted in the very teeth of the
law; he defied the law. and TO say that this
was not an offense was to render officers
free from all responsibility for their acts.

The Third Mississippi Flag to be Re paired and Placed on Exhibition i'm This City Before Being Taken to New Orleans.
 The flag taken from the Third Mississippi regiment by the Ninth Connecticut, which was allowed to fall to pieces in the State arsenal at Hartford, will be repaired by the Ninth and taken by Colonel J. G. Healey and Captain L. O'Brien to New Orleans next week and presented to the Mississippi regi- ment on Connecticut day at the exposition. The following correspondence concerning the flag is made public.

D. JACKSON
 COLONEL HEALEY's REPLY.
 NEW HAVEN, Ct, February 9, 1885, Hon. F. D. Jackson
 Dear Sir-In answer to your favor of the 9th sni,t in which our comrades in the General Assem- ply tender us pecuniary aid for the repairs of the flag of the Third Mississippi regiment. we must beg leave to decline it in the spirit in which it is rendered. The Ninth Connecticut is not a paupel regiment and is not in need of charity. Being sim ply exsoldiers and not legislators hardly be expected to appreciate the dangers that turk in the establishment of the precedent that your honorable body so much dreads.
 We remember that the State of Connecticut re ceived the flag from hands in perfect condition We know that through the neglect of it's custodanf it has been reduced to rags. In our ignorance we believed that it was the duty of the State to repair and restore it. As soldiers we believed that sucf action would be honest graceful and fitting.
 The sharp rebuff that we have received convinces us that the men who fought the battles can expect scant courtesy from those for whom they fought and that they chose the better and safer part who stayed at home and with the steadiness of veterans fight over the battles of the rebellion twenty years after the vestges of it's fires have been extin guished - On behalf of the veterans of the Ninth, am, witt respect, your obedient servant,
 JOHN G. HEALEY.
