STRAIT A REVOLT.
Revolutionary Forces in Colombia
Begin Operations.

Revolutionary Forces in Colombia
Begin Operations.
Panama, Oct Eft is known here
that a revolutionary force consisting
OF about seventy men, landed on or
about Oct IL at Catalina, the port at
the mouth of the Calovebora, on the
Atlantic coast of Colombia, and after
having travelled certain distance into
the interior, returned to the coast and
marched toward Penonome.
This expedition, according to in.
formation in the hands OF Gov
Obaldia. is under the leadership of
Federico Barrera, Lugo and Juan
Antonio Caicedo. Barrera was one OF
the Liberal revolutionists who took
part In the capture of Colon in 1901;
Lugo was one of the military chiefs in
the Domingo Diaz expedition of 1901,
which was defeated by forces under
the late Gen. Carlos Alban after con-
siderable fighting along the railroad
between here and Colon. Nothing is
known of Caicedo.
Rebels Disappointed.
1t is believed that the revolutionists
were expecting achievements, but
that they were disappointed In find
ing them and consequently returned
to the coast The telegraph lines on
the isthmus are working well and the
government has been able to follow
all the movements of the enemy.
Government forces under Mai. Tas-
con have sailed on the transport
Twenty-First of November, formerly

The enemy has had to travel through
a rough and wild country, and it is not
believed that they will be able to
stand before the well disciplined
troops under Maj. Tascon. Little i'm.
portaRce Is attached TO the movement.
Liberals Oppose It.
This outbreak does not appear to
have occurred with the Endorsement OF
Liberals in Panama, several OF whom
have protested against it. and have
offered their services to Gov. Obaldia.
Advices received by the governor
from the departments Of Cauca and
Bolivar state that Generals Diaz,
MorSun and Buendia and other prom.
inent Liberal leaders purposed start.
Ing a revolutionary movement but
were arrested before they were able
to do so.
For some weeks past there have
been rumors from more or less relia-
bic quarters Of an approaching revo-
iutionary movement in Colombia.
The political horizon of the country is
clouGed and there are many signs OF
unrest arising probably from the dis
cussion and opposition to the canal
project and approaching presidential
campaign and the heavy deficit in the
treasury.
