BERTT'.S HEROIC OFFENCE.
SURRENDERED aqua DULCE. ONLY
WHEN HIS CAUSE WAS HOPELESS.

Panama Sept a-The surrender TO the Co
lomban insurgents Of the government General
Morales BERT and the troops of his command
at Aqua Dulce. which has previously been re-
ported and which generally believed to
have taken place. has now been confirmed.
This news reached Panama through some for
rner Conservative prisoners IF the insurgents.
nho were liberated yesterday at San Carlos
a result Of the landing there of expedition
from the government fleet OF gunboats.
General Bert Who had been beseged at Aqua
Dulce by the insurgents since July 2S, only
surrendered when his cause was hopeless. In
the act of surrender the insursent General Ben
jamin Herrera declares he recognizes the abne
cation Of General Berti and his men, whom he
succeeded in defeating because Of the
periority Of his forces and the quantity Of
munitions of war of all kinds at his disposition.
He promises 10 hold inviolate the lives and
honor Of his prisoners, and he allows General
Berti to retain his sword as mark of honor in
recognition of his heroic defence OF Aqua Dulce.
The surrendered generals and officers have been
paroled at Penonoms and Santiago de Feraguas.
The act OF surrender also sets forth that in CON
sideration of General Herrera's respect for the
bravery of the men who Eithstood his siege,
they will not he compelled personally sur
render their arms. The insurgent general de-
plores the fact that he is unable TO accord more
generous terms to General BERT and his men.
who well merit better treatment. He says that
the necessities OF war compel him to keep them
as prisoners but that he may exchange them for
some Of the thousands of Liberal prisoners now
in possession of the government.
In the last article Of the act of surrender
General Berti makes it known that he only
capitulated 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 aid

SURRENDER OF Aqua DULCE
CONFIRMED.

Washington, Sept 9.-Mr. Ehrn,an Vice-Con-
sui Gerera at Panama. advised the State De-
partment by BILE that Aqua Dulce has been
surrendered by the government forces
Four revolutionary war vessels are now in the
Bay of Panama, and the revolutionsts are re-
ported to be moving toward the railroad.
Mr. Ehrman considers the situation at Colon
and at Panama serious
The officials of the Colombian Legation pro
fess not TO be seriously alarmed over the sur
render of the government forces at Aqua Dulce.
The number of government soldiers there is es-
timated to have been somewhat less than three
thousand men, and. while their loss is admit
teddy q setback Colomhis's representatives de-
clare the effect will be to stimulate the govern
roent 10 greater activity to crush out the re-
bellion.
The general understanding here has been
that the government had about seven thousand
men under arms the isthmus. While TINS
may be an overestimate. legation officials say
there are sufficient men left to offer strong re-
sistance 10 any efforts the revolutionists may
make to take the interoceanic railroad or the
cities Of Colon or Panama.
Since the capture by the insurgents of the
e,,nboat Boyaca. the government is without
