REBELS ACTIVE IN COLOMBIA.
REPORTS OF BATTLES RECEIVED BY
THE INSURGENT AGENTS HERE.

A budget of received yesterday
from various points in Colombia regarding the
fighting in that revolution ridden republic Both
sides claim Victories which at least proves that
the insurrectionists giving the government
considerably more trouble than official reports
indicate.
Arturo de Brigard, Colombian Consul General,
received a communication from General Jaime
Cordova Governor of the Department of Cauca.
He tells of a government victory at Puenta
Piedra over the rebel forces of General Barriga.
and also of the defeat of the insurgent leader.
General Marin La Piedras. In this engage
ment, General Cordova says. the revolutionsts
lost two hundred men.
General Eduardo Vasquez, of the government
army was also killed in this battle. The latter
was one of the wealthest and most influential
citizens of Antoquia. According to Official ad-
vices. the rebels suffered another defeat at EI
Helechal, Department of Santander. in which
one of their chiefs was killed and another taken
prisoner.
General 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
General Avelino Rosas for this purpose. The
Governor Of Cauca adds
In short time we shall have nearly twenty
thousand men under in this department.
The information that came to the local agents
OF the rebellion. however, gave an entirely diff
ferent aspect TO the state Of affairs. This news
tells of battle fought at Macueque, Depart
ment of Boyaca which lasted several days. and
! is the biggest reported thus far from the in
terror. The government division under General
Nova Vasquez, Governor OF Boyaca, to the
number of three thousand. attacked the strongly
intrenched force of one thousand rebels COM
manded by General Benito Hernandez with the
result that the former were repulsed with
| great loss to their ranks. Besides this, the IN
surgents secured ten pack mules, carrying
twenty thousand cartridges. The scene of this
| engagement is an excellent strategic point, and
| IT is said that IL will require an army of more
! than five thousand disodge the Liberals from
their stronghold 1t is not definitely known
| how many killed and wounded, but the
number is said TO have been large.
General Rafael Tribe Tribe, chief of the main
army of rebels. is said to be in Santander
with six thousand men. His plan is TO engage
the government force from the front, while Cen
eral Hernandez and another command under
General Poydoro Ardilla, from Ocana, attack
from the rear, thus practically surrounding the
principal detachment of the government. Cen
eral J1ribe-Uribe has lately been Joined by Gen
eral Pedro Rodriguez, who sailed from here
short time ago the steamer Maracafbo.

MORE LIGHTED STREET SIGNS.
THAT IN FRONT OF THE TRIB-
UNE BUILDING.

The illuminated street signs the electric light
pole IN front OF The Tribune Building have attract
ed much favorable comment that the Edison
Company has placed few similar signs poles
in Ffth-ave and other parts Of the city at It's
expense experiments Many citizens who have
observed the signs have expressed the hope that the
city authorities would authorize placing signs all
electric light poles at the street corners. II is de-
olared that such signs would go far aid strangers
In finding their way about the city, although there
not enough electric light poles street
to carry all the street signs that needed.
In contrast with the signs at Nassau and Spruce
SITS. the signs the electric light pole at Broad
way and Barclay st. have been harshly criticised
and condemned by many citizens. The latter have
been placed high up In the glare of the light
that they can be plainly at night only when
observer is AT n certain angle and at a certain
distance from tie pole. Even when the signs can
read night the eye is almost blinded by the
