TROOPS MAKE A
 SERIOUS MISTAKE
FIRE ON FELLoW-soLDlERS, THINKING THEY WERE RENO. LUTIoNlsTs-EIeHTEEN MEN KILLED AND es WOUNDED.

New York. January 16.-News of a se- rious mistake in which a force of the governm ent troops fought another body of government soldiers thinking that it was composed of Colombian revolutionists has been brought to Colon, Colombia, by the Colombian warship, General Pinzon, cables the correspondent of the Herald at that place. The mistake happened in the vicinity of Dibullo, near Rio Hacha, and 1t resulted in eighteen men being killed and sixty-three wounded
 Captain Merritt of the General Pinzon said that the boat landed 400 men in Di- bullo to drive back the insurgents. The revolutionlsts retreated toward Rio Ha- cha when the government troops advaned. It was decided to divide the government force into two bodies in order to capture the rebels.
 One of the these m ct the rebels and af- ter a sharp engagement the insurgents retreated. The other body of government troops then came up, having heard the firing, and the mistake followed. Think ing that 1t was opposed by rebels, each force started firing. The fight was kept up for four hours when General Folia- co discovered the mistake and stopped the battle, which had been evenly con tested. The steamship Libertador. for merly the Ban High, which recently took the Mates expedition to- Venezuela from Martinique, will soon enter the service of the Colombian government.

Manners has been sending telegrams to Chicago and expects friends from that city to come here tomorrow to get him out of jail. Today a tele- gram was received for him from Chica- go signed Belle" and stating that the writer would join him tomorrow in this city. There Is much doubt here as to whether Manners Is really Kerns, in spite of similarities of the description.
 Affidavits were made today against Klein and West for robbing Manners of $2500 jewelry. Klein made long state ment in his cell to the effect that Man ners planned the theft with him and West "itH lhe unuerslahuihS lhdt ne Wouiu sue the hotel company. "Phony" jewelry he said had been placed in the trunk and the suit would be for the loss of genuine jewels.
 John Evans. of this city today identi- fled Klein as a man who had passed bad check on him. Klein and West were measured by the Bertillion system and had their pictures taken The police dc not expect to determine whether Manners is or is not Kern until his picture and his measurements reach here from New York. The police express the opinion that Manners is not Kern.
