NOT ALARMED AT SURRENDER
omeiaIs of Colombian Legation Min
imiEe the AGua Dulce
, -- Incident. f.---,-,

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The ohacials Of
the Colombian legation profess not to be
seriously alarmed at the surrender OF gov
ernment soldiers at Auga Dulce. The num-
Der Of government soldiers Is estimated
at less than 5000 and while their loss lie a
setback the Colombian representative says
it will cause greater activity to crush the
rebellion.
The understanding here is that the gov
ernment had 1000 men under arms on the
isthmus While this may be an under
estimate, legation officers say there are
enough men left to Offer strong resistance
to any efforts the revOlutionists may make.
The revolutionists are thought to be In
the vicinity Of Panama and Colon. Since
the capture by the insurgents Of the gun
boat Boyaca the government is without
naval representation on the Pacific coast
though Bogota, recently purchased In
the United States, is now on her way down
from Seattle. This vessel. the oflcials say.
will be more than a match for the whole
rebel fleet.
Nc adVices regarding the surrender Of the
government forces at Aqua Dulce have
reached the legation.
