Il wish to call the attention of the

dition Of our station. The men and
horses have no dry places for shelter
whenever it rains. The feed for the
horses has to be covered over with
the rubber coats from the trucks
which have been provided for the men
to attend fires. During the last rain
the roof leaked SO badly that the hose
and horses We're wet for several days
and our sleeping room was a pond of
water. I should recommend that your
body do something with regard to this.
If we have to stay here any length of
time there will have to be a roof put
over the building. which in the condi.
ton 1t is in is very poor policy, as
there is no foundation to the building
and every day the old structure is
gradually sinking out of sight. l als.:
recommend that the council purchase
500 feet of hose. also a modern and
up-to-date hook and ladder truck, as
the Old one now in use has entirely
played out and is very unsafe to drive
to fires. The condition of hose wagon

A BATTLE is ON
ENGAGEMENT BEING WAGED AT
DuLoE, COLOMBIA.
HUNDREDS HAVE BEEN SLAIN
Revolutionary Forces Under General
Herrera Meet Government Troops
The Government Loss is Reported
as Light-RebeI Loss Heavy.

PANAMA, Columbia, Aug. 1.-THE
peace commissioners who left here
July 20 on the British steamer Cana
to visit the revolutionary General
Herrera. near Aqua Dulce, returned
to Panama at noon today. They in
formed the representative of the AS
sociated Press that they were unable
to fulfill their mission, because of a
severe engagement between the revol-
utionary and government forces has
been on since the 29th, when the
revolutionary forces attacked Aqua
Dulce.
At o'clock the best battalion of the
revolutionary forces attacked the gov
ernment entrenchment with fierce
courage. The slaughter of the revolu-
tionists is said to have been excessive
and barbarous.
That same afternoon a white flag
was raised in their camp and they
asked for an armistice during which
they could bury their dead. This was
granted. The losses of the rebels up
to Wednesday, July 80, were reported
at over 200, while the government
forces had eight men killed and eleven
wounded.
General Moreno, one of the peace
commissioners who returned today,
says the entertainments at Aqua Dulce
are masterpieces of military art.
At the expiration of the time of
armistice the engagement recon-
menced with the same fierceness.
Nine government battalions which
had not taken part in the fight were
still being held in reserve last night.
General Salazar, governor of Pan
ANA, has received a letter from Gov
ernor General Moarles Berti saying
he is very enthusiastic as to the out
come and hopes he will win a battle
that will decide the matter. General
Salazar, in turn, is doing everything
to help General Berti. At p. m.
today he dispatched further supplies
of provisions and ammunition for
Berti's army at Aqua Dulce.

The general market is anyway lo9zoc
higher unless in the case OF something
very inferior Bulls have not sold any TOO

something good the market Is nttie
lower. The demand for feeder bulls mas
been limited. Veal calves and stays pave
sold none too well. Stockers and feeders
have been strong all the week. and II any
thing are a little higher. Tidy cattle IN
particular are stronger and yearlings OF
good quality are selling considerably
higher than they were a week ago. Ihe
same is also true of short twos. West
ern range cattle have made up the bulk
Of the receipts this week, and some South
Dakota cattle sold at $3.50. Steers Of good
quality are probably 15c higher for the
week. and in some cases 25c higher. COWS
are also fully 15925c higher for the week,
and stockers and feeders are strong.
HOGSLThere was just fair run or
hogs, but as other markets were all quot
ed lower, prices took drop, amounting
to a good dime as compared with yester-
days general market. Trading was none
too active at the decline, but instead OF
improving as the morning advanced the
market seemed to weaken and a good

high as $7.65 was paid.

Government Fuel Oil Tests.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The bu-
reau of steam engineering of the
navy department, which has been ex-
perimenting at the Washington navy
yard for some time with fuel oil, has
found that the tests with the low
pressure air for spraying purposes
have been quite satisfactory. Many
complex problems, however, must be
solved before it will be possible to
determine to what extent fuel oil
can be used in the navy. If the con-
templated experiments with small tor
pedo boats are successful further ex-
periments will be made with a torpedo
destroyer, but beyond this no plans
have been made.

Lives of Passengers.

collision here between a passenger
train from Waukesha, known as the
"Scoot," and westbound freight
train, Dennis Connell, the engineer of
the passenger train, was instantly
killed and the fireman, Thomas Cham
berlain, badly injured. Several of the
passengers of the Waukesha train

none sustained injuries that are con-

The accident was caused by the
freight, which had orders to take the
siding at Elm Grove. Before it could
be backed up the "Scoot" hove in
sight. Engineer Connell reversed his
lever and applied the air brake, but
too late to avoid the crash. Connell
died at his post, sacrificing his life
to save his train.
