Defeat.

New York, Dec PA dispatch to the
Herald from Panama says:
Official advices from Buena Ventura
indicate that the power of the rebels in
the west has been broken.
Governor Al5an of the state Of Pana-
ma. who led the effective expedition
which went to the relief of Buena Ven
tura month ago, has cabled that Port
Tumaco. on the bay of Tumaco, was re-
captured ON December 4, after three
days fighting.
He also reported that the rebel steam
er Ga!tan, which was engaged in the
blockade of Buena Ventura and had
been the chief reliance of the liberal
forces i'll their operations against coast
towns, was destroyed by the government
vessels. Evidently the British steamer
Tabega and the gunboats at Buena
Ventura were used in the operations.
Port Tumaco was seized by the revo-
lutionists last March, and since has
been their principal stronghold on the
Pacific. No details of the battle or of
the loss of life have been permitted to
pass the censor.
Governor Alban, believing the rebel
lion has been crushed in the west, has
left Buena Ventura on the Taboga, re-
turning to Panama. He is accompanied

States" and that said cabinet officer
should be bona tide trade unionist"
Vice President Duncan opposed the
resolutions on the ground that distinct
stipulation for a bona fide trade unionist
would prove a source of weakness and
probably defeat the purpose of the con-
Vention in framing this measure.
Delegate Turnsett of San Francisco
opposed the recommendation that a cab
met officer be taken from any particular
class of society, on the ground that the
American form Of government is not the
parliamentary form, and that the cab
met members are personal advisers OF
the president.
Delegate Warner of New York said
his experience had not led him to put
much confidence in the average labor
reple esenta tive in places of trust and re-
sponsibility in some of the state govern
mentS.
Il would sooner see Mark Hanna" he
said, representing our interests than
some of the labor representatives who
hold positions in some states.'
Treasurer James b. Lennon of Bloom
ington, H., said he hoped to see the time
when a trade unioniSt would be presl-
dent of the United States, but he op-
posed the adoption of the resolution as
prescribing too narrow boundary as TO
the appointment of cabinet officers.
The adverse report of the committee
was concurred in by vote of IS to As,
