New York, Feb. l9.-George Lynch,

service in Cuba and South Africa and
was then commissioned by two Lon

forces on the march TO Peking, writes
To The Herald long description Of

their proceedings. They arrived
when the country ought to have been

OF their minister and to carry out the

MORE FIGHTING EXPECTED.
Both the Government Troops and
the Liberals Suffered Severely In
Four Hours Battle at Em-
pire and CuIebrn.

Washington, Nov. GA cablegram
received by the state department from
Consul General Gudger, at Panama, re-
ports that traffic is moving unmolcsted,
but gives no other details Of the situa-
tlon.
Secretary Long has received a cable
gram from Commander McCrea of the
gunbOat Machias, ut Colon, stating
that the Colombian gunboat General
Iinzon had disappeared to the east. 1t
is thought here that she has gene TO
Cartagena for troops.
Commander McCrea also acknowl-
edged the receipt Of the departments
instructions advising him of the course
which he is to pursue in the present
situation on the isthmus. 1t was inn
possible for the navy department off
cials to dccipher the greater portion of
the dispatch, and it was returned to
lin for repetition.
The reported action of Captain Perry,
the naval officer in command of the
United States forces on the isthmus, in
declining to permit any of the Colom-
bian or rebel troops to make use of the
railway may raise an Interesting ques-
aion 1t is understood here that the
Colombian government feels that it
has the decided right to use this rail
way TO forward government troops.
This right is based on the fact that
the road is on land over which cololn-
bia has sovereignty and is operated un-
der government concession, Colombia
retaining an interest in the road to the
extent of S25O0OO per year. Moreover,
the Colombian authorities say the reb-
els have not had their lelligerent
rights recognized by this or any other
government, SO that they have no
status as carrying on warfare.
wounded Suffering Greatly.
Press dispatches from Colon say
There is great suffering among the
soldiers wounded in the four hours

the Liberals have proper facilities fol

While the Liberals were driven bacf
two miles the government troops SUI

advantage.
Another battle is expected either u

The previous desperate contest, u

The retreat of the Liberals was sio'

Some of the houses in Culebra wei
