 Confirmed In Washington.
 Washington, October 2S.-Confirmation of the news of the surrender of General Uribe-Urise was contained in the follow ing dispatch received at the Colombian legation here tonight:
 Panama, October 8.--Uribe- Uribe and Castillo, another revolutionary general, surrendered at La Cienaga with large quantity of arms and ammunition"
 The legation officials declare that with the surrender of Uribe-Uribe the life of the rebellion in the interior of Colombia has received its death blow. and that the complete pacifcation of that portion of the country must inevitably follow. He was, they say, the acknowledged leader against the government and by his action in raising and equipping troops and securing assistance from the outside, has kept the revolution going for sev- eral years. General be-Uribe's move ments have taken him in various portions of the interior of Colombia, his early op- erations being in the state of Jolima, later in the state of Sant Ander and finally in the state of Magdalena. In the state of Sant Ander at the head of an army of over 10000 men, he seriously menaced the capital Bogota, until he was defeated by a superior government force on the 26th of May, 1900, when the casualties numbered about 5000 men in all. It has been repeatedly asserted by the officials here that General Uribe- Uribe received substantial aid from the government of Venezuela, he having vis- ited Caracas and had frequent interviews with President Castro. Last year he visited the United States and for time was in correspondence with the officials of the legation, with view of reaching honorable terms of equalization, but the efforts in that direction were without substantial result, and General Uribe- JJribe returned to Colombia and again took up arms against the government.
 General Castillo, who surrendered with Uribe- Uribe, is about 50 years of age and previous to joinng forces with Uribe- tribe was a guerrilla general who gave the government a great deal of trouble.
