CLAIMS OF SUCCESSES
ADVANCED BY BOTH SIDES IN THE
COLOMBIAN WAR.
Liberals Said to BE Occupying
Strong Strategic POsition-Sev-
eraI Battles Are Fought.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-According to ad-
vices from Colombia, received by the
Tribune, both sides are claiming victories.
Arturoa de Brigard, Colombian consul gen.
eral here, has received a communication
from Gen. Jaime Cordova, Governor of the
department of ,Cauca He tells of gov
eminent victory at Puenta Piedra over the
rebel forces of Gen. Barriga, and also of
the defeat of the insurgent leader, Gen.
Marina, at La Piedras. In this engagement
Gen. Cordova says the revolutionists lost
200 men. Gen. Eduardo Vasquez. of the
government army, was also killed in this
battle.
According to official advices the rebels
suffered another defeat at Ell Helechal, de-
partment OF Santander. in which one Of
their chiefs was killed and another taken
prisoner. Gen. Cordova also writes that
an invasion from Ecuador is feared He
charges that the President of Ecuador is
supplying arms and ammunition to the
revolutionists commanded by Gen. Ave
limo Rosas for this purpose
The information that came to the local
agents of the rebellion, however. gave an
entirely different aspect to the state of af-
fairs. This news tells of a battle fought
OF -""N4NSfNN' NePdih lhlehl Oh boyaca,
which lasted for severay days. The govern
>ment division, under Gen Moya Vasduez,
Governor of Boyaca, to the number of 81
600, attacked the strongly intrenched force
of 1000 rebels commanded by Gen Benito
Hernandez, with the result that the former
were repulsed with great loss. Besides
this, the insurgents secured ten pack
mules, carrying 10000 cartridges. The
scene OF this engagement is an excellent
strategic point, and it is said that IL will
require an army Of more than 5000 TO dis
lodge the Liberals from their stronghold
Gen. Rafael be-Uribe, chief of the
main army of rebels, is now said TO be in
Santander with 5000 men. His plan is 10
engage the government force from the
front while Gen. Hernandez, with another
command, under Gen. Poledo Ardilla from
Ocana, attacks from the rear, thus prac-
TALLY surrounding the principal detach-
ment of government forces.

NEW YORK. Sept. Fin all Of her ten
trial spins in these waters and in the six
teen or more on the Clyde the Shamrock
III and her crew never had a more exciting
experience than they had during ten min
utes this afternoon, when the yacht was
caught in a fierce squall that came out of
the west and blew at the rate of ffty-four
miles an hour, as recorded at Sandy Hook
weather station. The squall came so sud
denly that the men had no time to shorten
sail. except to take in the fore staysail, so
that the yacht had to tako it with the
whole mainsail, jib and a working gait top
sail set. This, it was estimated, was about
u. 900 square feet of sail. size was off the
bell buoy at Sandy Hook, bound in after a
short spin as far as the middle of Gedney
channel.
Just before the squat struck her sheets
had been trimmed in so that the Shamrock
would weather the red buoye of the north
side of the channel. She had just filled
away on the port tack when the squall hit
her on the lee side. putting her aback and
in irons. Captain Sycamore shifted his
helm quickly, and then, as the yacht began
to gather Roadway, she felt the full force
of the wind. Down she went until her
rail was out of sight and the water was
boiling UP around her matches. The tall
mast was leaning at an angle of between
So and IS degrees, and there was not man
who watched her but expected to see the
mast go by the board. Gradually she
righted and forged ahead, but new danger
| threatened.
| The yacht was now out of the channel
| and heading directly for the east point of
! that dangerous shoal known as Flynn S
| knoll where there is only fifteen feet OF
! water. The yacht draws about twenty-one.
| The moment she had sufficient Roadway TO
| go about Captain Sycamore damned his
| tiller hard down and the boat responded,
| staggering up into the wind until the big
! mainsail Slated like claps of thunder, and
| it looked as if the jib would jerk the
| bowsprit out of her. But not a rope yarn
| again to the danger angle, she cleared the
! again.
| 1t had been narrow escape, but the
| suual had not yet spent its force, and the
! strain on the mast and gear for the next
| five minutes was something terrific. A
! couple of men were sent aloft to unlace
! the huff of the gaff topsail from the mast
| and send il down. n few minutes later the
! tender Lawrence passed the yacht line,
! the mainsail was lowered and the yacht
| made fast to her moOringS at 2:30
Before the challenger was made fast Sir
| Thomas Upton was alongside in his launch
| from the Erin. Springing on deck he anx-
iously inquired of Mr.. Watson if any
! thing had given way during the squall.
| Upon being told that the yacht was as
stanch as ever he was much pleased and
| complimented Captain Sycamore on his
! handling of the boat
