Men Well Treated by Insurgents
After Capturc-Situation ut CO.
lon and Panama Serious.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-Mr. Ehr-
man, vice consul general at Panama,
advises the state department by cable
that Aqua Dulce has been surrendered
by the government forces. -Four rev.
olutionary war vessels are now in the
bay of Panama, and the revolutionists
are reported to be moving toward the
railroad
Mr.. Ehrman considers the situation
at Colon and at Panama serious.
The officials of the Colombian lega-
tion profess not to be seriously dis
turbed over the surrender of the gov
ernment forces at Aqua Dulce. The
number of government soldiers there is
estimated TO have been somewhat less
than 5000 men, and, while their loss
is admittedly a setback. Colombia s
representatives declare the effect will
be to stimulate the government to
greater activity to crush out the rebel
lion. The general understanding here
has been that the government had
about 1000 men under arms on the
isthmus. While this may be an over
estimate, legation officials say there
are sufficient men left to offer strong
resistance to any efforts the revolu-
tlonists may make to take the inter
oceanic railroad or the cities of Colon
and Panama. The revolutionists are
thought to be in the vicinity of those
places.
Since the capture by the insurgents
of the gunboat Boyaca the government

Pacific coast, though the Bogota. re-

RISKS FIREMEN TAKE.
The Reason Engineer Brown stuck
TO His Dangerous Post.

The risks that fircmen In big cities
take are an everlasting wonder, and
the story of Bill Brown, as told by
Cleveland Moffett in Careers of OAR
ing and Danger" shows that the en-
gincer's bravery is sometimes put to
tests as severe as those which the
hose man or the ladder man even has to
endure.
What happened was this: Engine %,
pumping her prettiest, stood at the cor
ner so near the drughouse that the
driver thought II wasn't safe for the
horses and led them away. That left
Brown alone, against the cheek OF the
fire, watching his boiler and keeping
his steam gauge at seventy-five.
AS the fire gained chunks of redhot
sandstone began to smash down on the
engine. Brown rnn his pressure up to
eighty and watched the door anxiously
where the four flremen from his squad
had gone into the furnace.
Then an explosion of chemicals in
the building sent q flame wide as n
house curling across the street, enwrap-
ping engine and man and setting fire
to the elevated railway station over
head. Bill Brown stood by his engine
with a sheet of fire above him. He
heard footsteps on the pavement and
voices that grew fainter crying. Run
for your livesw He was alone, and the
skin on his hands, face and neck was
blistered.
Brown knew why every one was run
ming. There would be another explo-
sion. 1t was tolerably certain that he
must die If he stayed. But his four
chums were In the fire and needed the
water. If he quit his engine, the water
would fail.
He stocked in coal and ran the gauge
up another notch. easing the running
parts with the oiler. He was Offering
his life for his friends.
In a few minutes the four flremen
came out of the building. Then Bill
Brown ran for his life with his COM
rades. A second or two later engine
20 was crushed by the falling walls.

Defense of Agua Dulce.

PANAMA, Colombia. Sept. 1O.-The
surrender to the Colombian insurgents
of the government general Morales
Berti and the troops of his command
at Aqua Dulce, which has previously
been reported and which was generally
believed to have taken place, has now

suit of the landing there of an eXpedi-
tion from thesovernment fleet of gun

at Aqua Dulce by the insurgents since
July 2S. only surrendered when his
cause was hopeless. d. In the act of sur
render the insurgent general Benjamin
Herrera declares he recognizes the alb
negation of General Berti and his men,
whom he succeeded in dominating be-
cause of the superiority of his forces
and the quantity of munitions of war
of all kinds at his disposition. He
promises to hold inviolate the lives and
honor of his prisoners, and he allows
General BERT to retain his sword as a
mark of honor in recognition of his
heroic defense of Aqua Dulce.
The surrendered generals and Off
GERS have been paroled ut Penonome
and Santiago de Veraguas. The act of
surrender also sets forth that in consld
Grafton of General Herrera's respect
for the bravery of the men who with
stood his siege they will not be COM

The Mirror In Photography.

Many amateurs in possession of a
fixed focus camera, says Photography,
have doubtless found difficulty in OBJ
tanning a photograph of some object in
a room through being too near to it.
This difficulty can often be overcome
by placing a large mirror in front of
the object and the camera in front of
the mirror. Avoid the camera being
reflected in the glass by standing lit
tie on one side.
