AN OFFICIAL REPORT.
No Trouble Likely Between Colombia

and Ecuador.
Washington, Aug. 23.-The Colon
bian minister, DR.. Martinez Silva, has
received an official letter from the
minister of Colombia at Quito, which
reports an engagement near Fomaco,
In which force of Colombian revolu-
tionists were defeated and arms, am
munition and prisoners taken. The
letter also diseloses the satisfactory
condition of affairs between Ecuador
and Colombia and disposes of reports
that an armed invasion by Ecuadoran
troops was to be apprehended.
The minister at Quito does not refer
to any trouble with the government Of
Ecuador. He states that almost all
the revolutionary chiefs, who had fed
from Colombia and taken refuge in
Ecuador, had gone back to Colombia.
DR.. Silva considers this a confirmation
Of the report that a force from Ecua-
dor was about to invade Colombia and
fight a battle near Pasto Concerning
the engagement near Tomaco, the let
ter states that General Palasius, com
mandant in the city of Barbaucus,
which had been recovered by the gov
eminent, was in command of the gov
eminent forces.
