makers in Manhattan borough have
struck for a ten hour work day and an
advance of 10 per cent in wages. There

prevent a strike believing the time in
opportune. However. the pants makers

of the strike and received replies saying
that the branches would be guided by the
action of the New Workers.

return to the task system, under which

New York, July PA dispatch to the
Eerlad from Panama, dated July "a,
says:
Fighting is now going on in the out
skirts of this city.
Large numbers of the revolutionary
force reached the suburbs early this
morning and began a vigorous attack,
which is still in progress.
Government forces are making a
strong resistance in the 1ntrenched po-
sitions they have occupied for several
days.
1t is calculated that 200 men have
been killed or wounded so far, among
them being many well known young
residents of this city.
The Red Cross hospital here is filed
with wounded and dying soldiers.
The help of the ambulance corps or
the British cruiser Leander has again
been requested in caring for the wound
ed and efforts are now being made to
bring about a short armistice in order
to bury the dead and pick up the
wounded still in the trenches
Among the wounded is General Lo-
zada, formerly in command of the gov
ernment troops, who took refuge with
others on the cruiser Leander on Satur-
day. He returned to shore today ana
took the place of a private in the ranks,
fighting with bravery
Every possible effort has been made
by the foreign consuls here to prevent
a disastrous conflict in the streets OF
the city, but they have not been sue
cessful.
General Herrera, commander in ch1er
of the revolutionists, is still at Coro-
zalla but it is believed he will soon
join his forces now in action II ne
does so, the attacks will undoubtedly be
still more vigorous and the fighting
more general, with disastrous results IN
the city proper.

Stray bullets are constantly dropping
in the streets, and several persons nave
been struck by them.

The fighting was hard, but both sides

The rebels shelled several points on the
railway their purpose being to inter-

The government has issued decree
calling to arms all Colombian citizens,

All public employees not complying with
the decree will be heavily fined
No American war vessel is at Panama
