MAY ATTACK PANAMA
Surrender of Colombian Forces at
Aqua Dulce Causes Uneasiness.
RERTrs TROOPS STARVED OUT
Rebels Will Probably Locate Their
Camp Between Panama and Colon,
and 1t Is Believed a Big Battle Will
Take Place.

Take Place.
Panama, Colombia, Sept. TO- = 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 gener-
ally believed to have taken place, has
now been confirmed. This news reach
ed Panama through some former Con-
sentative prisoners of the insurgents,
who were liberated Monday at San Car
los as q result of the landing there of
an expedition from the government
feet Of gunboats.
General Berti, who had been besieged
at Aqua Dulce by the insurgents since
July %, only surrendered when his
cause was hopeless. Insurgent General
Herrera promises to hold inviolate the
lives and honor of &is prisoners, and
he allows General BERT to retain his
sword .EB a mark of honor in recogni-
ton q kss heroic defense of Aqua
Dulee. H%as surrendered generals and
officers 3bse been paroled at Penonome
and Santiago de Veraguas. The insur-
gent general says the necessities of
war compel him to keep them as pris-
oners, but that he may exchange them
for some of the thousands of Liberal
prisoners now in possession of the gov
eminent.
In the last arucle of the act of sur
render General Berti makes it known
that he only capimlated to the enemy
when compelled to do so by absolute
lack Of food of any kind for his men,
and the conviction that the government
could not send him timely help.
It is believed in government circles
that the surrender of General Berti at
Aqua Dulse simplifies the situation, for
General Salazar, governor of Panama,
! who can now devote the forces of ms
command to the defense Of Panama
and Colon. 1nat the national govern
ment has confidence in General Sala-
. Ear is proved by the fact that his ap-
pointment as supreme commander of
all the government forces on the ism
mus has been received by telegraph
from ROgota.
There is great uneasiness here now
that the details of the Aqua Dulce af-
fair have become known. The strong
entertainments which have been erect
ed in and around Panama are defend
ed by $500 men, and there are over
1000 government soldiers at Colon. A
dispatch was received yesterday from
the minister of war at Bogota, saying
that a large number of achievements
had left ROnda, on the Magdalena
river, for the isthmus, and 5000 more
men are expected to come in this week.
General Herrera is expected to
change his field of operations to the
isthmus and he will probably locate
his camp somewhere on the railroad
line between Panama and Colon. It is
believed that a big battle will take
place somewhere between these two
ports.

RETTINe AND pUELINe.
President HacIey Draws a Parallel
Between Them.

Between Them.
1t is customary to treat this habit Of
betting as if it were nothing but a
manifestation of the gambling spirit
the spirit which enjoys the excitement
connected with risk of any kind and
which takes pecuniary risks on cur
rent events for the sake Of such en-
jOyment. This accounts for part of
the practice, but not for the whole. If
betting on sports had been nothing
more than an indulgence of the pro-
pensity to gamble. it would probably
have been restricted long ago, but it
has another function and % very i'm
pOrtant one. 1t can be used as Il means
Of checking irresponsible talk. The
propensity of some people to brag and
buster makes them at times a public
nuisance. The meE in our colleges, es-
pecially the younger and more callow
ones, are no exception to this rule.
Under these circumstances the demand
that the bIustcrer shall back his words
by wager of money becomes means
of protection to those about him
against the unpleasant talk which is
otherwise 'dinned into their ears.
In this respect the practice Of bet
ting has u function not unlike that
which was exercised by the practice
of dueiing a century or two ago. In
generations past the blusterer was
compelled to make good his words by
the wager of his life. We have be-
come quieter in our temper at the be-
ginning of the twentieth century and
only demand that he shall wager his
money. But the principle is the same
in the two cases.
This can be used. to some extent, as
theoretical justification for the prac-
tice of betting. 1t is. however, far
more defensible as a theoretical view
than as a practical argument, for in
actual life betting fails to accomplish
! its object In this respect also the
parallel between betting aad duellnG

RIVER A STREAM OF FIRE
Interesting Sights From the Eruption
of Soufriere Volcano.

or Soufrlere Volcano.
Kingstown, Island of st. Vincent.
Sept. 9.-The sights in the Windward
district Of this island resulting from
the eruption of the Soufriere volcano
September are very interesting. The
Raabacca river even now is a stream
of fire a quarter of a mile wide. The
greater part of the Raabacca estate
is wrapped in vapor, and there are
mimic eruptions everywhere. The river
bed is continually throwing up col
umns and dense clouds of steam, mud
and pebbles. The land has spread
farther seward, and is changing con-
siderahly the appearance of the dis.
trict from what it was prior to Sep
TENDER 3. This was probably caused
by the ejecta that flowed down the
slopes filling the sea about the coast.
Fifty laboTers, deceived by the ap-
parent quietude of the volcano, were
working within the fire zone at the
extreme north of the island, when
they &sDely saw evidence of an ap-
proaehiRg disturbance of the noun
tain, but were unable to leave the
spot before electric flashes and an
OutpoUr of gases drove them to their
shelter, where they remained, at the
base of the mountain, throughout the
I terribbe night, while forked lightning
darted in all directions around them.
The men miraculously escaped IN
hurt and have arrived at Kingstown.
