Kingston, Jamaica. September Io.-The
british steamer William Cliff reached here

reported considerable activity on both
s,des of the isthmus when the vessel left
Colon. Monday, and that the revolution

railroad between Panama and Colon and
were advancing in strength.
General Benjamin Herrera is said to

forces. which seem to be concentrating
AZ point about midway between Panama
and Colon. There are strong government
forces at both ends of the railroad and
endorsements are coming in. Breast
~o,ks are being erected at Colon and
Panama. Owing to the fact that the gov
eminent does not know where TO expect
an attack it keeps its soldiers moving

very fearful, especially since the revolu-

One a the officers of the William Cliff
said 10 a representative of the Associated
Press that he had been informed from a
reliable source at Colon that the Colombian
government realized the situation on the
isthmus to be serious and that a crisis
was at hand.
