OCCUPY CULEBRA.
Another Success Of Rebels is Re
ported.


Kingston. Jamaica. Sept. 1o.-The Brit
ish steamer William Cliff reached here
today from Colon. Colombia. Her off,
GERS reported considerable activity on
both sides of the isthmus hen the YES
sci left Colon Monday, and that the rev.
olutionists had already occupied Culebra
on the railroad between Panama and Co.
Ion, and were advancing in strength.
General Benjamin Herrera Is said to be
in command of the revolutionary forces,
which seem to be concentrating at point
about midway between Panama and CO.
Ion. There are strong Government forces
at both ends of the railroad and REIN
forcements are coming in. Breastworks
are being erected at Colon and Panama.
Owing to the fact that the Government
does not know where to expect an attack,
it keeps its soldiers moving along the
forty miles of railroad.
The revolutionists CARED possession of
Culebra without opposition and their pos
session of that point has not been dis
turbed. The Government Is maintaining
an attitude of defence, and a desperate
engagement Is expected shortly Bust
ness on the isthmus Is suspended and the
people are very fearful, especially since
the revolutionist victory at Aqua Dulce.
One of the officers of the William Gin
said to a representative of the ssociated
Press that he had information from a re-
liable source at Colon that the Colom-
bian Government realized the situation
on the isthmus to be serious and that
crisis was at hand.
When the William Cliff left Colon the
private opinion on the isthmus was that
the revolutionists would attack Panama
before advancing on Colon, because OF
the support they would get from their
gunboats on the Pacific side of the 18TH
mus in an attack on the first named city.
The revoIutionists have no gunboats on
the Atlantic side.
1t Is believed the revolutionists will
use their operations as quickly poss-
bic, because of the problem which con-
fronts General Herrera of provisioning
the large Government force which sur
rendered to him at Aqua Dulce, in addi-
ton to the other Government prisoners
he holds 1t. is believed that some OF
General Hef.sra's prisoners will fight
with his forces.
The Government Is said to be chatting
AT the delay in the arrival at Panama of
the new gunboat Bogota, recently pur-
chased at Seattle, Washington, by Senior
Concha. Colombian Minister at Wash
ineton. Lack of transportation facilities
for the Government is said to be largely
responsible for the present situation on
the isthmus.

MUST GIVE UP.
Operators Declare They Will Not Ar
bitrate the Differences.

D1trate the OlmerenceS.
New York. Sept. 1n-Mr. John Markle
the head of the firm of G. B. Markle and
Co, the largest Of the individual coal
operators in the anthracite neld. today
made a statement respecting the proposed
arbitration between the employers and
the employees.
There will be no arbitration" said Mr.
Markle, and no settlement of the coal
strike in any way. We have not forgot
ten our experiences on a former occasion
There had been in existence from 1895 an
agreement with the men in our employ
providing for the settlement, in an AMIGA
bile way of all differences that arose by
arbitration. This was the result of To-
cal strike in 1895. In 1897, notwithstand-
ing the existence of this contract for ar
bitration. the men deliberately broke their
agreement and went on strike which last
ed six months. Yet we re-established the
arbitration agreement after 1t was over
and went on. In 1897 there was a wide
spread strike in the Lehigh region, but
our men stood by their agreement and
never lost a days work. In 1900 Mr.. John
Mitchell appeared and began a campaign
on our property.
Our employees presented a list of griev-
apces and rreplied to them and suggested
that if our answers were not ga -.sfactory
they could demand arbitration under the
existing agreement. Mr.. Mitchell dis
tinctly opposed any arbitration, assert
ing that we were insincere. Father Phil
lips, a well known priest of Hazelton, of
his own volition, urged the men to abide
nv their compact and suggested Arch
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia as the third
arbitrator Mr. Mitchell opposed all Of
this. saving that II was blum. A meet
ing Of our employees was held to which
Mr. Mitchell came unsolicited and made a
speech He asked me publicly If I would
abide by the arbitratorS verdict. and

welt that Lyon should succeed himself

effect on the deliberations which failed

mony program. The action OF the COM

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 1o-The Ger

August % for Cape Haytien and other
ports) which arrived here today from
Santa Marital capital Of the department
of Magdaiena, Colombia, brings news
Of a victory at Santa Marta by the Co.
lombian revolutionists over the govern
ment forces.
Captain Gronmeyer of the Valencia says
that last Friday the revolutionists made
a desperate attack on the outskirts OF
Santa Marta. The government troops
were overwhelmed and forced>to retreat.
leaving behind them one hundred dead.
Immediately after the withdrawal OF the
government forces the rebels started to
destroy the railroad tracks. They de-
rallied several trains at various points.
demolishlng engines and cars. the latter
being chiefly fruit vans. Several lives
were lost in these wrecks.
Saturday the revolutionists occupied
the banana district of Senega, where
they continued to wreck the railroad at
the same time keeping up their advance
sailed for Santa Marta Monday the revo-
lutionists were SO near the town that
Captain Gronmeyer could see the flashes
of their guns.
Buildings Were Blazing.
Several buildings In Santa Marta were
then blazing, having been iguited by the
few troops left there to oppose the at
tack of the revolutionists. The town at
chat time was expected momentarily to
surrender. Owing to the total destruction
of the railroad the Valencia did not get
her cargo of fruit at Santa Marta and be-
the captain decided to put into Kingston
for instructions.
oficers Of the Valencia say that hor-
rit51e atrocities vera committed during
the fighting by the rebels, who chiefly
used machetes. Almost all Of the gov
eminent troops Killed were found along
the railroad tracks. their bodies being
terribly mutilated. They were partially
covered by branches of banana trees.
Santa Marta is entirely cut of from
communication with outside points and
the residents OF the port have sent an
appeal by sea to Colon for protection.
1t Is feared that the revolutionists will
sack Santa Marta when they capture 1t.
The stores there are closed and the
greatest terror prevails.
The attack of the revolutlonists was
entirely unexpected and, owing to their
superior numbers. the resistance of the
government forces was half-hearted. Off,
GERS of the Valencia do not think the
Colombian government can get rein
forcements into Santa Marta in time to
save the town.
