REBELS ATTACK The
COLOMBIAN CAPITAL
Fighting In Progress In the
Outskirts of Panama.
900 KILLED AND WOUNDED

Losses On Both Sides Heavy--Govern-
ment Forces Are Making a Strong
observation-disclosures Hold Good POSI-
tions - Provisions Are Scarce.
PANAMA, July 25.-Fighting is going
on in the outskirts of this city. Large
numbers Of the revolutionary forces
reached the suburbs and began vigor-
GUS attack, which is still in progress.
Government forces are making
strong resistance in the intrenched posi-
tons they have occupied for several
days.
It is calculated that 200 men have been
killed or wounded SO far.
The Red Cross hospital ship here is
filed with wounded and dying soldiers.
The help Of the ambulance corps Of the
British cruiser Leander has again been
requested in caring for the wounded
and efforts are now being made to bring
about a short armistice i'll order to bury
the dead and pick up the wounded still
in the trenches.
Among the wounded is General LoZa-
utts lOEu16Ely III COL1Iudnu O4 Gl0 SONSAA-
ment troops, who took refuge with
others on the cruiser Leander Saturday.
He returned and took the place of pri-
vate in the ranks.
Every effort has been made by the
foreign consuls here to prevent disas-
trous conflict in the streets Of the city,
but they have not been successful
The rebels hold several points on the
railroads, their purpose being to inter
cept the federal troops coming from Co
lon under General Sara.
All business places in Panama are
closed. Provisions and other necessa-
ries of life are growing scarce and are
hard to get at high prices.
The government has issued a decree
calling to arms all Colombian citizens
between the ages Of Is and 60 years. All
public employees not complying with the
decree will be heavily fined.
Reinforcements expected by the gov
ernment have not yet arrived.

MOB WAITED FOR BUTLER.
He Would Have Been Attacked Had
He Passed Through Wilmington.


He Passed Through Wilmington.
WILMINGTON, N. c., July 25.-Had
Senator and Populist National and State
Chairman Marion Butler attempted to
pass through here this city would have
been storm center. In the newspapers
there appeared In great type, heavily
bordered in black, this notice:
IF you hear the fire alarm bell ring
ing five twice go to the Atlantic Coast
Line depot"
The following also appeared:
marion Butler is advertised TO speak
at Southport. Advices from Southport
are that kilograms were being received
that the speaking would certainly take
place. One report was that Butler would
come down on the morning boat, but
the author of the statement is evidently
not acquainted with the strong public
sentiment in Wilmington, else he would
not have predicted the senator's pres
ence in this city even for a transitory
period. If he reaches Southport he will
reach it via some other point than Will
mington. Butler is credited with too
sense to attempt to pass through here.
He will probably take the Seaboard Air
Line and follow the Cape Fear river
down on the western side-certainly not
on the Wilmington side. !"

FEAR RUSSIAN TRIcKERY.
Believed the Move OF the Allies on
Picking Will Be Delayed.

Picking Will Be Delayed.
LONDON, July 25.-The tone of the
European press in regard to the message
dated July 4, received here from the
British minister at Picking, Sir Claude
Macdonald, continues pessimistic and
the endless and extraordinary succession
of Chinese dispatches purporting to de-
scribe the situation at Picking only
serves to bewilder. However, the earlier
unquestiOning belief that a massacre
took place has to some extent been
shaken, and it is now admitted, despite
the heavy load of evidence supporting
the reports of the massacre, that as Sir
Claude MacDOnald's letter disposed of
the first story alleging that the crime
occurred June 80, so Minister Conger's
dispatch and other stories reporting the
legations safe July 10, II and Is, give
some ground for assuming the POSSIBLE
ity that the second reports were also I'M
founded.
There is some fear in London that the
Russian claim to control of the railway
from Taku to Pekin will delay the pro-
posed advance of the allies to Picking.
1t is thought that this claim is in pur-
sual,ce of Russia S alleged fixed principle
to prevent any power but herself from
penetrating to Picking in sufficient force
to be effective, and to procure for herself
the sole occupation, either as conqueror
or peacemaker.
Dispatches received here today from
Berlin counterfeit the replies of Presi-
dent Mckinley and the German minis
ter of foreign affairs, Count Buelow, to
the Chinese emperor's appeal from the
standpoint obtaining at Berlin, that the
object of all Chinese assurance is to gain
time for military preparation and under
mine the unity of the powers.

LII Hung Chang at Shanghai.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The state de-
partment has received a cable dispatch
from Consul General Goodenow, but it
is stated that it contains nothing to clear
up the situation at Peking. Mr.. Goode-
now says that Lii Hung Chang will re-
main in Shanghai for the present and
Will conduct his negotiations from that
city. There is an intimation that Earl
Ii is detained at the request of the for
eign officers, although this was not SO
stated by Acting Secretary Hill.
No information has been received from
the Chinese legation or Chinese govern
ment in response to President McKin-
ley's reply to the emperor.
No reply has been received from the
second dispatch sent TO Minister Conger
through Mr.. WI, but it is stated when
a reply is received it will probably set
at rest all doubts as to its authenticity.
