PLANS FOR IRRIGATION

passed by the last session of Congress, involves
an amount Of preparation before actual reclama

understood. The success Of irrigation depends
on the constant supply of water, and it is there
fore Of the greatest Importance that the avail
able water resources which are TO be drawn
upon should be carefully studied. For example.
one of the essential facts to he first ascertained

low water stages must be scrutinzed, for the
reason that they usually occur in the middle of

Another important fact TO be carefully ascer-
tanned IS the possibility OF increasing the
amount II low stages by inpounding the spring
and freshet waters. or portions of them. in great
storage reservoirs. and the location and cost

RENOLUTIONISTS OCCUPY CULEBRA.
DECISIVE BATTLE ON THE IsTHMUs En-
PECTED SHORTLY.

Kingston. Jamaica, Sept. 1O-The British
steamer William Clin reached here to-day from
Colon, Colombia. Her officers reported con-
sidera bic activity on both sides OF the isthrnus
when the vessel left Colon Monday. and that the
revolutionists had already occupied Culebra. on
the railroad between Panama and Colon, and
we're advancing in strength.
General Benjamin Herrera is said 10 be in
command of the revolutionary forces, which
seem to be concentrating at a point about mid
way between Panama and Colon There are
strong government forces at both ends Of the
railroad. and reinforcements are coming in
Breastworks are being erected at Colon and
Panama Owing 70 the fact that the govern
rnent does not know where TO expect an attack,
If keeps its soldiers moving along the forty
miles OF railroad
The revolutionists gained possession of Guile
bra without opposition and their possession of
that point has not been disturbed. The govern
ment is maintaining attitude of defence. and
a desperate engagement is expected shortly
Business on the isthmus is suspended and the
people are very fearful especially since the
revoIutionist victory at Aqua Dulce.
One Of the officers Of the William Cliff said
that he had been informed at Colon that the
Colombian Government realized the situation on
the isthmus to be serious. and that crisis was
hand.
When the William Cliff lett Colon the prevail
ing opinion on the isthmus was that the revo-
lutionsts would attack Panama before advanc-
ing upon Colon. because Of the support they
would get from their gunboats on the Pacihc
side Of the isthmus in an attack on the hrsl
named city The revolutionists have no gun
boats on the Atlantic side
1t is believed the revoluttonists Will push thelr
operations as quickly possible because OF the
problem which confronts General Herrera or
feeding the large government force which sur
rendered 10 him at Aqua Dulce, in addition 10
the other government prisoners he holds II is
believed that some of General Herreras pris-
oners will fight with his forces.

delay in the arrival at Panama Of the new gun

BAROUS NATURE OF THE WARFARE
Kingston. Jamaica, Sept 10-The German
steamer Valencia, from New-York, August %
tor Cape Haytien and other ports. which ar
rived here to-day from Santa Marta capital of
the Department of Magdalena. Colombia, brings
news OF victory at Santa Marta by the Colom-
olan revolutionists over the government forces
captain Gronmeyer of the Valencia says that
last Friday the revolutionists made a desperate
attack on the outskirts of Santa Marta The
government troops were overwhelmed and
forced to retreat. leaving behind them one hum
dred dead Immediately after the withdrawal
OF the government forces the rebels started 10
destroy the railroad tracks. They threw from
the rails several trains at various points, de-
molishng engines and cars. the latter being
chiefly fruit vans. Several lives were also lost
in these wrecks.
On Saturday the revolutionisIs occupied the
banana district of Senega where they con-
unued to wreck the railroad at the same time
keeping up their advance toward Santa Marta.
When the Valencia sailed from Santa Marta on
Monday the revolutiOnists so near the
town that Captain Gronmeyer could see the
flashes of their guns. Several buildings in Santa
Marta were then blazing, having been ignited by
the few troops left there to oppose the attack of
the revoutionists. The town at that time
expected momentarily to surrender.
Owing TO the total destruction of the railroad
the Valencia did not get her cargo Of fruit at.
Santa Marta. and because of the seriousness of
the situation the captain decided put into
Kingston for Instructions
Officers of the Valencia say that horrible
atrocities were committed during the fighting
ny the rebels. who chiefly used machetes. Al.
most all of the government troops killed were
found along the railroad track their bodies
ing terribly mutilated. They were partly COW
cred by branches of banana trees,
Santa Marta is entirely cut off from com
munlcatton with outside points, and the resi-
dents of the port have sent an appeal by sea to
Colon for protection. 1t is feared that the revo-
luuonists will sack Santa Marta when they
capture il The stores there are closed, and the
greatest terror prevails.
The attack Of the revolutonists entirely
unexpected. and owing to their superior num-
hers the resistance OF the government forces
was half hearted. Officers of the Valencia do
not think the Colombian Government can get
refnforcements into Santa Marta in time 70 save
