Battle Occurred Near Rio hacha
and Resulted in rs Killed
and 65 Wounded.

NEW YORK. Jan. l6-News Of a
serious mistake in which forces Of the

body Of government soldiers, thinking
that 1t was composed of Colombian
revolutionists. has been brought to Co.
lon, Colombia, by the Colombian war
ship General Pinzon. cables the corre-
spondept of the Herald At that place.
The mistake happened in the vicinity
Of Dibullo. near Rio Hacha, and L re-
suited in eighteen men being killed ond
siNty-three wounded,
Captain Merritt of the General Pin
2on, says that that vessel landed four
hundred men in Dibullo to drive back
the insurgents. The rey0lutiOnists re
treated toward Rio Hacha when the
government troops advanced. It was
decided to divide the government force
in two bodies in order to capture the
rebels, one of these met the rebels
and after a sharp engagement the in
surgents retreated The other body
of government troops then came up
having heard the firing and the mis-
take followed. Thinking tha, IL was
opposed by rebels, each force started
firing. The fight was kept up for four
hours when General Folco discovered
the mistake and stopped the battle
which had been evenly contested. The
steamship Liberatador, formerly the
Ban Righ, which recently took the
Matos expedition to Venezuela from
