GERMAN BOAT SINKS
 FIRIMINIST WARSHIP

sieged by the insurgent forces under Gen eral Herrera at Agua Dulce probably has been defeated.
 The government gunboats returned hero last night from an exploring expedition Officers of the expedition report having landed at Yeguala, where the iisurgent prisoners were captured, and 1t Is from these men that the news Of the govern ments defeat at Agua Dulce has been ob- tained.
 General Berti has been besieged since July 2s. The troops of his command must have suffered terribly during the last days of the siege and 1t is said they were compelled to eat horse flesh. Up to Au- gust 30 General Berti had not surrender ed but since that date he is believed either to have done SO or to have forced his way out of Agua Dulce General Bertis brave and heroic defense of Agua Dulce has been admired even by the in- surgents, as one of the most brilliant pages in the history of the present rev. olution.
 Early in August the port of Agua Dulce was captured by the insurgents and the government gunboat Boyaca, with rein foreements for General Berti, also fell into their hands. These facts. coupled with the scarcity of government troops at Panama and Coleman made it inpos- sible for General Sslazar governor of Panama. to render Berti assistance.
 In government circles however, the hope is still entertained that General Berti has forced his way out of the be- sieged town. but there is nothing to con firm this suggestion. If General Bert was defeated 1t is believed General Herra could have prolonged the insurreotion for few months.
