BERTI PROBABLY DEFEATED
Fears Entertained at Panama that
Herrera Was Successful at
Aqua DuIce.

PANAMA, Colombia, Sept THE gov
ernment general Morales Berti, who has
been beseiged by the insurgent forces under
General Herrera at Aqua Dulce, has prob
ably been defeated.
The government gunboats returned here
last night from an exploring expedition
ofncers Of the expedition report having
landed at Yeguata. where the insurgent
garrison was defeated after q slight skir-
mish. A few insurgent prisoners were cap
tured and 1t is from these men that the
news of the governments defeat at Aqua
Dulce has been obtained.
General Berti had been besieged since
July 2S. The troops Of his command must
have suffered terribly from lack Of sup
plies during the last days of the siege and
II is said they were compelled to eat horse
flesh. Up to August 80 General Bertl had
not surrendered, but since that date he is
believed either to have done so or to have
forced his way out Of Aqua Dulce. General
Bertrs brave and heroic defence Of Aqua
Dulce has been admired even by the In
surgents as one Of the most brilliant pages
in the history Of the present revolution.
EARLY in August the port of Aqua Dulce
was captured by the insurgents and the
government gunboat Boyaca, with rein
forcements for General perti. also fell into
their hands These facts, coupled with the
scarcity of government troops at Panama
and Colon, made II impossible for General
salazar. governor Of Panama, to render
Berti assistance. In government circles,
however the hope is still entertained that
General Berti has forced his way out Of the
besieged town. but there is nothing to con-
firm this suggestion. II General Berti
were defeated 1t is believed that General
Herrera could have prolonged the insur-
rection for a few months.
1t is understood here that the govern
ment will take no active steps against the
| insurgents at Aqua Duloe until the ar
rival here of the new Colombian war YES
sci Bogota. which has been purchased at
Seattle, Wash. by Senor Concha, the CO.
lombian minister at Washington. Panama
and Colon are both strongly protected.

GARDENER NOW SINGS PRAISE
Major who Reported water Cure Ar
rives 20 Declare that Philippines
Are FarinE Well.

MANILA, Sept captain J. ]. Peresh-
ing, who is in command of the American
force at Camp Wears, Mindanao. reports to
General Chaffee that several of the Moro
chiefs whose forces have attacked Amer
leans, have rejected all friendly overtures
and that he has been unable to reach any
understanding with them. The breaking
of negotiations with the Moros, Captain
Pereshing reports, will probably bring on
a crisis in the Moro situation. 1t is be-
lieved In Manila that a renewal Of Moro
attacks will result in retaliation by the
American force The military record
shows that since the Bayan fight last May
the Moros have made twelve attacks on
American soldiers. killing four Americans
and wounding twelve including one officer.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Major Cor
nelius Gardener. who reported that the
water cure and other forms OF torture were
used against the natives in the Philippines,
has arrived here on the transport Buford.
The report was made in December last
while the major was civil governor OF the
province Of Tayabas.
II do not know that l am to be called to
Washington" said Major Gardener. II
here at once"
1OuT say bubBebleu a Itpul-
ter, that every effort is being made to pre-
vent you from proving the truth Of your
report"
The major answered: II made my re-
port as l saw things and as l saw them to
be true, as a matter of duty and con-
scientiousness, and for the information Of
Governor Taft and the government. con-
sidered the report in the nature OF conf
Dental information and not for publica-
ton"
Had you any idea, major, that the docu-
ment might be used for political purposes ?"
the major was asked.
Politics! Politics! Why l have never
mixed in politics Of any sort. My politics
consists of the declaration Of independence
and the golden rule. The civil government
in the Philippines has had difficulties to
contend with, but they are now gradually
disappearing. I believe civil government
to be a success in the islands, and l be-
lieve the work done by the civil govern
ment in organizing provincial government
will stand as a monument to an honest and
able administration. The better classes
Of the natives-the educated classes-ap-
preciate the difficulties and approve Of the
efforts made by the commission"

GIVES BOSTON A SEVERE JAR
Powder Magazine EXpIOdes. Killing
One, woundinE others and Shak-
ing Earth for Miles.

BOSTON, Sept. 7.-one Of the powder
magazines at old Fort Winthrop on Gov
ernor's island, upper Boston harbor, blew up
this afternoon with a detonation that was
heard at points twenty miles away. The
cause Of the explosion is not known.
Albert H. Cotton, married OF Sommer-
VILE. who was killed, and FIVE injured were
brought to the city by the police boat. and
while It is believed that this is the extent
of the casualties 1t is possible that others
may be found suffering from the force Of
the concussion.
The injured are:
James Crowley, aged 21.
Christian Knudsen, aged 80.
Charles Flanagan, aged %.
DENIES J. Swanson, aged "a
Paul Barry, aged 26.
All have flesh wounds besides suffering
from shock
The missing are:
Joseph E. Wakefield of Maiden.
James Ryan of East Boston.
Negotiations have been pending sometime
for the release of the island by the gov
eminent to the city as a part Of the lat
ter's park system, and although a transfer
has not been completed, the guard over
the island has been somewhat relaxed OF
late, and as a result numerous clubs and
pleasure parties have made use Of IT, es-
pecially on Sundays. The government's S
only representative there being an or
dnance sergeant, who is to maintain a
watch over the entire island. There are
several old ramshackle buildings at the
south end of the island, but the fort itself,
only little being visible above ground, is
OF stone, some of the granite blocks being
OF immense size; some of these blocks were
hurled 100 yards, while one of the largest
was sent through the air and came down
through the citadel. making a hole large
enough to drive team OF horses through.
All over the island the effects Of the ex.
polision are visible, while in East Boston
AMI South Boston and the city proper the
conclusion was sufficient to break win
doRs.
The powder explosion consisted Of about
sir tons and was stored in one of the mum,
her of casemates built under the ground
around the citadel other casemates were
empty. Each Of these apartments was
built with granite walls twenty-five feet
thick and covered with earth and masonry
to the depth Of thirty-fve feet.
At first 1t was supposed that bonfires on
the island caused the explosion, but later
the police learned 1t was impossible for
the nre to reach the magazine from the
OF tside and they decided the cause is un-
explainable During the afternoon there
w're several hundred visitors on the island
an many were close to the magazine Many
wpre thrown to the ground by the con-
crssion. That all Of them were not killed
Ia considered almost miraculous. Sergeant
Thomas Shaw, in charge of the premises,
