WAR ON THE ISTHMUS

REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA.
No Reports UnfavOrable to the Gov
Canal LabOrers Disseminated.

NEW YORK Feb IA late arrival
from the Isthmus of Panama brings the
information of the seriousness of the revo-
luton now in progress in the republic Of
Colombia. Battles have been fought at sew

eminent reports as disastrous to the revolu-
tionists, but the agents of the rebels assert
that this is not true. The activity of the
government in chartering the coastwise
steamer Premier and forwarding arms and
ammunition to the southern departments
shows the anxiety felt. No reports unfa-
vorable to the government are allowed to
be printed Local mails and personal let
tiers are subject to Inspection and letters of
significance, antagonistic to the government,
would result in the immediate arrest of
the sender. All passenger ships arriving at
Colon are closely examined for suspected
sympathizers and munitions of war, and the
cable lines also under surveillance.
Affairs on the isthmus are very dull and
seemingly quiet, but an outbreak is lmml-
nent at any time, as the laborerS employed
by the Panama railroad and canal compa-
MES are on the verge of a strike, owing to
low wages and increa sed cost of living since
Jan. l, when an import duty of 10 per cent
on all invoices went into effect, and in the
event of a strike of railroad employees there
is but little doubt that the Sympathizers
with the revolution would take advantage
Of the situation to secure arms and aInmu-

money for that purpose would not go into
the pockets of the needy, while advancing

demoralizing tendency. He stated that
