HE CAPTURED FIELD PIECES

morrow received a long cable disnatch diplomatic agent here for the Colombian revolutionists, The Tribune will say to- morrow, received long cable dispatch today from General RafYel Uribe-Uribe. The general asks that more arms be shipped him at once for his army. and asks also for cartridges for the rapid- fire guns captured from the government forces at San Cristobal. General Urlbe- Uribe adds:
 "Eenemy retreating into interior. Will pursue. Have no time to write letters now. Too busy fighting. Clericals severely beaten in both battles"
 Dr. Restropa said that he would in,- mediately ship 800 rifles and a quantity of ammunition for the captured artillery to General Uribe.
 Senor Thomas Herran, secretary of Co., lombia's legation at Washington, who ,s now in the city, admitted that the rev. olution In Colombia is becoming serious. It Is the army of General Marin which is causing the Colombian authorities tho greatest concern apparently
 This force, which is operating in ths department of Tolima, consists of about 2500 men. Senor Herran said of General Marin:
 Tt does not seem as though matters were getting serious. General Marin is said to have quite a command. The guerrilla bands have probably united and now form the semblance of an army out wardly at least.
 Colombia at Peace With Neiqhbors.
 Colombia enjoys peaceful official rela- lions with her neighbors. The report that Colombia helped attacks on the Vene- zuelan frontier is ridiculous. Venezuela has frontier of nearly 1000 miles. and it Is an utter impossibility for our govern ment to guard this to prevent filibuster- ing. As for Ecuador, Senor Emiliano Isaza. Colombian minister at Quito wires me that he has been very well received by the Ecuadorian government It is true that most of the trouble in the de- partment of Panama has come from the hands or guerrilas who have come from Nicaragua But there does not seem to be a likelihood of war"
 In one of the letters received by Senor Serran was the story of an invasion of Ecuador by the political enemies from neighboring and neutral territory. Senor Serran said that the Colombian govern ment had no definite knowledge that this invasion was aided by the Ecuadorian government, but theimpression was that the raiders had it's help
 Another Report.
 Further information as to the move- ments of the Colombian revolutionists is as follows:
 "A report has been received that Col. Andreas Marques. with filibustering ex- petition from Trinidad, reached Boyaca by way of the river Oinico, Meta and Aranco, landing 5000 rifles and 100000 cartridges. Gen. Vargas Santos, one of the commanders of the rebel army, is now at Curacoa directing the reorganiza- tion of the rebellion. He reports that ev- erything is going on satisfactorily.
 Despite his 75 years he will soon return to Colombia and fight
 According to further information Gen. Carlos Alban, Governor of Panama, and Gen Joaquin Velez, Governor of Bolivar, have had bitter quarrel over the policy to be pursued against the insurrection- ists. As result 1t is said that General Velez, who has been considered one of the governments best generals. has re- signed his post. General Alban has taken most of the soldiers from Cartagena and sent them to Panama, leaving the former port poorly protected.
