MAY IMIORT COAL
II Situation Demands It Dealers Will Re-.
sort 10 Nnch Means

Il is the general opinion that the
coal situation has now reached the
stage when some definite move must be
made. II is reported that dealers are
importing coal from Wales. and If the
strike is not settled by September 15,
as many think II will, the big dealers
will then purchase foreign coal
When e. II. Warner. of the Charles
Warner Company. was seen today, he
said:
I'VE have not considered that move
vet If coal were imported here It
would be necessary TO purchase from
five TO eight Thousand tons TO load a
ship. and then it would have to be land
ed at Philadelphia and brought to this
city on lighters. At New York the price
would be about SS75 a ton, and by the
time the material we're shipped TO this
city It wuld cost much more. We have
done away with our facilities for get
ting coal by boat, and all our supply
comes by rail- / don't think people
would want it. anyway"

ANOTHER BATTLE
IN COLOMBIA
Rebels Win in Desperate At
tack on Santa Marta
COMMIT AWFUL ATROCITIES
Government Troops We're Forced to
Retreat and Leave 100 Dead
BehiOd Them
COMMIT AWFUL ATROCITIES

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 1.-THE
German steamer Valencia. which ar
rived here yesterday from Santa Marta,
capital OF the department Of Magda-
lena, Colombia, brings news Of a vic
tory at Santa Marta by the Colombian
revolutionists over the government
forces. Captain Gronmeyer, of the
Valencia, says that last Friday the rev.
olutionists made a desperate attack on
the outskirts of Santa Marta. The gov
ernment troops were overwhelmed and
forced to retreat, leaving behind them
100 dead. Immediately after the with
drawal Of the government forces the
rebels started to destroy the railroad
tracks. They derailed several trains
at various points, demolishing engines
and cars, the latter being chiefly fruit
vans Several lives were also lost in
these wrecks.
On Saturday the. revolutionists occu-
pied the banana district of Senega,
where they continued 10 wreck the rail-
road, at the same time keeping up their
advance toward Santa Marta When
the Valencia sailed from Santa Marta
on Monday the revolutionists were so
near the town that Captain Gronmeyer
could see the flashes of their guns.
Several buildings in Santa Marta were
then blazing, having been ignited by
the few troops left there to oppose the
attack of the revolutionists. The town
at that time was expected momentarily
to surrender. Officers Of the Valencia
say that horrible atrocities were COM
mitted during the fighting by the reb-
els, who chiefly used machetes. AL
most all of the government troops
killed were found along the railroad
tracks, their bodies being horribly mu-
tilated. They were partially covered by
branches of banana trees.
The British steamer William Cliff
reached here yesterday from Colon, Co
lombia. Her officers reported consid-
erable activity on both sides Of the
isthmus when the vessel left Colon on
Monday, and that the revolutionists
had already occupied Culebra, on the
ram oaA btAMtNu uudlIu anu AOlOu
and were advancing in strength
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 sol
diers moving along the 40 miles of rail-
road The government is maintaining
an attitude Of defense, and a desperate
engagement is expected shortly. Busi-
ness on the isthmus is suspended and
the people are very fearful, especially
since the revolutionist victory at Aguf
Dulce.
One OF the officers Of the William
Cliff said that he had been informed
from a reliable source at Colon that
the Colombian government realized tn,
situation on the isthmus to be serious
and that a crisis was at hand Tn,
prevailing opinion is that the revolu-
tionists will attack Panama before ad
vancing upon Colon, because OF tn,
support they would get from their gun.

VOICES REOM THE MIAES
Double Quartet From WilkeSbarrc SiDgs
on the Street

Nine coal miners from Wilkesbarre,
eight of whom are fine singers, arrived
in Wilmington this morning and de-
lighted people who were on Market
street by well-rendered selections.
They will remain for about three days.
Their purpose in coming to Whining
ton is to collect money to aid the coal
strikers. The first selection was rem
dered on the pavement in front Of the
City Hall.
A large crowd collected, attracted by
the singing and the queer garb of the
singers. They wore overalls and jump
ers and caps on which were attached
the regulation miners lamp. The
mems hands showed that they were
used to hard work. The liberal dona
tions made showed that the people Of
Wilmington are in sympathy with the
strikers. The men will sing on the
streets at night.
