Colombian government Forces Unable to
Hold Agsa Dnicess.
Panama, Colombia tsept ln-The
government General Morales Berti,
who has been besieged by the insurgent
forces under General Herrera at Aqua
Dulce, has probably been defeated.
The governm mt gunboats returned
here last night from an exploring expe-
dition. Officers from the expedition
report having landed at Yegula, where
the insurgent garrison was defeated
after slight skirmish. A few insur-
gent prisoners were captured and it is
from these men that the news of the
government defeat at Aqua Dulce has
been obtained.
General Berti has been besieged
since July %. The troops of his
command must have suffered terribly
from lack of supplies during the last
days of the seige, and it is said they
we're compelled to eat horse flesh. Up
to August 80 General Berti had not
surrendered, but since that date he is
believed to have either done so or to
have forced his way out of Aqua Dulce.

Killed One or More, Damaged Fort and
Shook Up Boston.
Boston, Sept. 10. One of the powder
magazines at old Fort Winthrop, on
Governors island, upper Boston har-
bor, blew up this evening with de-
tonation that was heard 20 miles away.
One man was killed and five others
were injured, all having flesh wounds,
and two are missing. The cause OF
the explosion is not known.
The force of the explosion was shown
by the fact that great granite blocks
were hurled into the air several
hundred yards, one of the largest com
ing down through the center of the
fort, making hole large enough to
drive team of horses through. All
over the island the effects of the ex-
plcsion are visible, while in East
Boston, South Boston and in the city
proper, the concussion was severe
enough to break windows and shake
buildings to their foundations.

STEAMER ON ROCKS
COTTAGE CITY GOES ASHORE NEAR
FORT WRANGEL.
Passengers All Rescued and Taken Back
to Skagway = One Hundred Tons of
Cargo Jettisoned-Large Quantities of
Canned Salmon Saved Steamer will
be Floated and Repaired.

Seattle, Sept. 1.-The steamer Cot
tage City, of the Pacific Coast steam
ship Company, went ashore at 1920
O'Clock Sunday night on Island Point,
Etelin island, Stickeen strait, 20 miles
south of Fort Wrangle. She now lies
so feet forward on the rocks. Fifty
feet of the keel are gone, and her fore
foot is dry at low water. The steamer
filled aft, and the hurricane deck, to
the top of the smoking room, is under
water at high tide. The vessel is we'll
sheltered, and it is believed bulkhead
can be built inside and the ship
floated. rhe $50 passengers of the
Cottage City were transferred to the
steamer Spokane. of the same COM
pany, which came along about three
hours after the accident, bound north.
The we're taken on to Skagway, and
will return south on the Spokane.
The Cottage City was bound for
Seattle when the accident occurred,
and was due to arrive here today.
Over 100 tons of cargo were jettisoned.
The remainder of the cargo, consisting
chiefly OF salmon, was transferred to
lighters and taken ashore. Details
of how the accident occurred are
lacking.
The Cottage City was commanded by
Captain David Wallace. She is a
wooden vessel, which probably accounts
for the fact that she did not break to
pieces on the rocks. From official re-
ports to the headquarters of the COM
pany here, it is said that there is no
doubt that the vessel will be floated
and repaired, unless storms of unusual
severity intervene.

: NO LIQUOR LICENSE FOR SAMOA.
United States Decides to Continue Ruling
of Navy Department.

United States Decides to Continue Ruling
of Navy Department.
Washington, Sept. 11.-The govern
ment has decided against the sale of
liquor of any description in our Samoan
possessions. Shortly after the tri-
partite agreement between England,
Germany and the United States for the
government of the Samoan islands was
made, and the assumption of control
of the American portion of the islands
by the navy, under which the govern
ment was placed, a license for the sale
of liquor at Tutuila was granted. Sub
sequently, upon the recommendation
of the naval governor, this license was
revoked, not, however, before the
United States vice consul at Apia, Mr..
Blackjack, had erected a hotel at
Tutuila, in which the sale of liquor
was carried on. When the license was
revoked, he lodged protest with the
navy department, asserting that the
prohibition Of the sale of liquor would
work financial injury to him, and
representing that it's sale would in no
wise corrupt the morals of the natives,
alleging that they were not addicted
to the use of intoxicants. 1t was
also represented to the department
that the sale of intoxicants was per-
mitted in the English and German
portions of the island.
After duly considering the matter,
the navy department has decided
against Vice Consul Blackjack, and
the action Of the naval governor in
revoking the license has been sus-
tanned.

ELECTION IN MAINE.

State Goes Republican by Plurality of
27,ooo-Socialists Gaining.
Portland, Me-, Sept. 9.-Maine rolled
up big plurality for the Republicans
in the election yesterday, it approxi-
mating $4,000. Complete returns
will be late, owing to the remoteness of
many towns. Figures from 24O cities
and towns give Hill. Republican, 4O,-
962; Gould, Democratic, 24,5S7.
The legislature, which is usually
strongly Republican, will have an un-
common number of Democratic men,
bers, some of the strongest Republican
towns of the state having elected repre-
sentatives of that party. The senate
will have one Democrat in 81 members.
In the First congressional district
Representative Amos J. Allen, Repub-
lican, was elected over DR.. S. O. Cor.
don, Democratic, and Fred E. R. Irish,
Socialist, with a plurality of about
$500.
An incident was the increase in the
Socialist vote of 20 two years ago to
800 this year in Portland alone. In
the Fourth district, owing to it's great
area, the returns will not be completed
until late tomorrow, but the estimate is
that Representative Powers, Republi-
can, has been reelected by plurality
of 1000 over Thomas White, Demo-
cratic. In the Third district Represen-
tative E. q. Burleigh got the prohibi-
zionist vote, and ran slightly ahead of
his ticket in defeating E. H. Henson,
Democratic. In the Second district
Representative G. A. Littlefeld had no
difficulty in defeating his Democratic
opponent, running we'll ahead of his
ticket.

SINKS A GUNBOAT.
Germany Takes Hand in Haytian Row
and Furnishes PiraticaI Act.

and Furnishes Piraticai Act.
Port au Prince, Hayti, Sept. 9.-The
German gunboat Panther arrived here
September and received instructions
from the German government to ecap-
ture the Firminist gunboat Crete-a-
Pierrot. She left Immediately for
Gonaives, the seat of the Firminist
government. The Panther found the
Crete-a-Pierrot in the harbor of Con-
alves and the commander of the German
gunboat informed Admiral Killick on
the Crete-a-Pierrot that he must remove
his crew and surrender his vessel in
five minutes. Admiral Killick asked
that this time be extended to Is min
utes.. The request was granted on the
condition that the guns and ammuni-
tlon on board the Crete-a-Pierrot should
be abandoned when her crew left her.
The crew of the Crete-a-Pirerot left that
vessel amid great disorder.
At the end of Is minutes, the PAN
ther sent a email boat carrying one
officer and 20 sailors who were to take
possession of the Firminist gunboat
When these men had arrived at q
point about 20 yards from the Crete
Pierrot, flames were seen to break out
on board of her. She had bee q fred
by her crew before they left her. The
Panther then fired on the Crete-a-
Pierrot until she was completely i'm
mersed. Thirty shots, all told, were
fired.
There is much feeling here against
the Firminists, and their cause is con-
sidered to be bad one. Soldiers are
leaving here to attack St. Marc. Port
au Prince is calm.

NO SLEEP FOR THEM.
Outbreak of Souffriere Caused an Exodus
of the Population.

OI tne POPulataOn.
St.. Thomas. D. W. l., Sept. g.
Advices from the island of St. Vincent
report that slight eruption of the
Souffriere volcano occurred at noon,
September 8. The outbreak was ac-
accompanied by rumblings, and caused
an exodus of the population from
Georgetown and Chateau Bellair. On
the 4th, at 7:30 in the morning, and
again at 10 o'clock last night, loud
noises were accompanied by electrical
discharges from La Souffriere, which
continued until O'Clock in the morn
ing, when a continuous roar began,
lasting until o'clock. This was fol-
loved by a murmuring sound, which
was heard until o'clock in the morn
ing. In short time the heavens were
obscured by dust or smoke, and the
scene was something fearful. Nobvdy
slept at all during the night.
No dust, the advices say, has yet fall
len at Kingstown or Georgetown, but
the atmosphere has hazy look. Dust
and pebbles fell at Barnellie at 4
O'Clock on the afternoon of Septebmer 6.
Reports from Chateau Bellair are to
the effect that there has been heavy
fall of sand there, and that the arrow
root crop has been destroyed. No
deaths have been reported.

FIRE ON AMERICANS
ELEVENTH INFANTRY LOSES ONE MAN
AND THREE WOUNDED.
Moros of Mindanao are Becoming Unruly
General Sumner Ordered to Interior
to Compel General Movement
Against Rebels Not Improbable - Our
Troops are Attacked Repeatedly.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-The war de-
partment has received cable dispatch
from General Chaffee dated at Manila,
stating that an attack was made on the
United States troops at Matiling Falls,
seven miles from Camp Wears, by
Moros on September 1. First Lieuten-
ant William M. Parker, Eleventh in
fantry, and two soldiers were wounded,
and one soldier killed. General Chaffee
also says:
"Have authorized Brigadier General
Samuel Sumner to move troops into
Macin country and exact promise of
good behavior in future from Dattos
and followers. Troops have been at
tackled IL times since May 2, with loss
to us of four killed and IL wounded.
We have remained all the time quiet,
seeking friendship, acting in self de-
Tense only"
The last part of General Chaffee's
dispatch evidently is intended to in
form the war department that the army
has been acting wholly upon the de-
fensive in the Moro county. His in
structions have been to do nothing
which would provoke a conflict with
the Moros, and the position of the war
department is that if there is a conflict
it must be justified by the aggressions
of the Moros.
Some time ago General Chaffee asked
for authority to attack the Moros i'm
mediately, but he was advised that the
department wished to avoid hostilities
if possible. At the same time it has
long been the belief of officials of the
department that an aggressive campaign
in Mindanao is inevitable, and it would
not be surprising if there should be a
forward movement of the United States
troops in short time.
