COLOMBIAN WAR RUMOR
REBELS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN
DEFEATED AT aqua DULCE.
Government Gunboat with 800 Men
Aboard Missing and Possibly
Wrecked or Captured.

PANAMA, Colombia, Aug. 4.-Telegraph-
ic communication with San Carries was re-
established this afternoon, and at p. m.
General Salazar received a telegram from
San Carlos saying that some revolutionary
officers belonging to the forces under Cen
eral Herrera had passed that town in
flight They reported the defeat of the
revolutionists at Aqua Dulce. This news
has not been confirmed. and details and
further information are awaited.
The United States cruiser Ranger is re-
ported TO have gone to Aqua Dulce to bring
the wounded back to Panama. Definite
news of the engagement is expected when
she returns.
The government gunboat Boyacao. which
is missing, left here last Tuesday with re-
Inducements for General Morales Bert,
who is located near the port Of Aqua
Dulce She was attacked by the revolu-
tionary fleet and obliged to retreat. Since
that time nothing has been heard OF the
BoyacaO, but being faster than the revo-
lutionary gunboat Padilla, she is believed
to have escaped. The BoyacaOs rudder
was recently found TO be in very bad order
and the repairs made TO IL were conducted
rapidly and not very thoroughly. General
Salazar. Governor of Panama, is Of opin-
ion that some accident has happened TO
the gunboat. which has left her helpless at
sea or stranded on the coast of some
island. More than 80 men are on board the
gunboat.
The government gunboat Chuchuito.
which was sent from here with ammuni-
ten for General Morales Berti could not
deliver her cargo because the port of Aqua
Dulce had been captured by the revolution
lists. Water communication between the
government troops at Aqua Dulce and Pan
anna is consequently interrupted.
a government officer who was captured
by the revolutionists in January of this
year during a previous battle at Aqua
Dulce. has made his escape from General
Herrera's camp and has reached Panama.
He reports that many revolutionists are
deserving. partly because they are forced
to fight against members OF their own DO
litical party, well as on account of the
heavy losses the reVolutionsts are said
TO have sustained every day since the be-
ginning of this battle.
General Salazar, military governor OF
Panama, said to-day that IL General
Herrera's forces were not defeated within
five days he would march with all the
forces he has in Panama 10 attack the
revolutionary leaders rearguard. General
SalaZar has received a telegram from the
Colombian minister OF asking II re-
Inducements are needed and SAYING that il
so he will send them Immediately

New SmOkeless Powder.

Tests have recently been made in
Colorado with a new smokeless pow
der termed jovite, for which great
advantages are claimed.
Two holes of the same character
and depth were driven in different
cross cuts. One was loaded with a
nine-ounce stick of ordinary 40 per
cent dynamite, and the other with
six ounces of jovite, The dynamite
was first fired, and the jovite about
two minutes later. The holes were
then inspected Both shots broke
about the same quantity of rock, but
while it was impossible to stay in the
drift where the dynamite was ex-
ploded, the only smoke in the jovite
drift came from the fuse and caused
no Inconvenience. That the smoke
came from the fuse was shown by
lighting the same length of fuse with
cap attached in another drift sim
ilarly connected without air.
