COLOMBIA ONCE
MORE IN GRASP
OF REVOLUTION
TWO CITIES KNOWN TO BE IN
REBEL HANDS
GENERAL UPRISING AGAINST
REYES is REPORTED
Gunboat Seen Approaching carta-
gena, but No Details of Situa-
ton There Have Been
Received
tBy Associated Press.l

= HiOLON, July IA revolution has bro
ken out in the republic of Colombia
against the government of Presi-
dent Rafael Reyes, who is now in Lon
don. This news was brought into Co
lon by the British steamer Median,
just arrived from Savaniia.
Barranquilla and its seaport. Sa-
vanilla, 1T miles away are in the hands
of the revolutionists.
1t is reported here that the town of
Santa Marta also has fallen to the
rebels, but the Median brings no con-
flrmation of this.
The trouble began Sunday at Bar
ranquilla and ended in the speedy over
throw of the governmental authorities
at that point. There was little resist
ance. Two hundred men, armed with
rifles, then marched down to Savanilla
and took that port without firing shot.
Only one prisoner was taken, the cap
tai of the port and he was sent back
to Barranquilla.
Gunboat Off cartagena
A Colombian gunboat was seen Mon
day night approaching Cartagena, but
no news OF what has occurred at that
city has reached Colon.
When the Median left the Colombian
coast 1t was rumored that an American
warship was expected momentarlly at
one of the coast ports. Persons well
versed in Colombian politics are OF the
opinion that this movement is the be-
ginning of a fusion Of all political par
ties against the Reyes government.
There is no direct telegraphic COM
munication between Colon and the At
lantic coast of Colombia. All kilograms
4 from the Atlantic side have to go first
to Bogota, the capital. 1t is conse-
quently subjected to government CEN
sorship.
Advices from Bogota later declare
that General Perdomo will leave
Honda tomorrow with six steamers,
having on board 60O0 men and 20 pieces
of artillery. The objective point of the
troops is Barranquilla.
Cen. Rafael Reyes has been president
of Colombia since January, 1905, and
his present term does not expire until
1914.
In November, 1908. the state of Pan
ANA, then an integral part of Colombia,
proclaimed it's independence, which was
speedily recognized by the United
states. Shortly after this step treaty
tfoviding for the construction of the
Panama canal was signed by the United
States and the new republic
News reports from the republic have
indicated that the old bitterness of the
loss of Panama still lives This was the
situation when President Reyes sud-
denly left for London June 10. 1t was
given out that Reyes left for the pur-
pose Of taking a much needed rest and
vacation, but his sudden departure was
generally interpreted as a flight, and
revolutionary disturbances were looked
for.

FALSE WITNESS
IS PUNISHED
Girl Whom Sentenced Woman Ac-
cused a Suicide and Hus-
band Driven from His
Home
(By Associated Press.)

ROME, July 7.-Signora Puccini, wife
anne Butterfly" and other operas, was
sentenced today to five months i'm
prisonment and a fine of $120, in ad-
dition to costs and damages, the lat
ter to be fixed by separate court.
Some months ago, Signora Puccini
accused her husband and a maid in her
employ of having improper relations.
The girl protested her innocence and
subsequently committed suicide. An
autopsy proved the charges againt the
girl were baseless.
The accusation of the wife, however,
resulted in a separation and quickly
after this, the mother of the girl in
stituted suit against Signora Puccini.
