KINGSTON, Jamaica. Bept. 10. The
Dermaii ittimtr Valencia, from New York
August S3, for Cape Haytlen and other
porta, which arrived here today from Santa
Mart a, capital of the Department of Mag
dalene, Colombia, brings news of a victory
At Banta Marta by the Colombian revolu
tionist! over the government troops.
Captain Gronemeyer of Valencia aays
that last Friday the revolutionists made a
desperate attack on the outskirts of Banta
Marta. The government forces withdrew,
leaving 100 dead, the rebels then starting
to destroy the railroad tracks. They de
railed several trains at various points, de
mollshlng engines snd cars the latter being
principally fruit vans. Today the revolu
tionists occupied the banana district of
Senega, where they tried to wreck the rail
road, at the same time advancing toward
Eanta Marta.
When Valencia sailed Monday the revo
lutionists were so near the town that Cap
tain Gronemeyer could ses the flashes of
their guns. Several buildings In Santa
Marta were then ablase, having been fired
by the evacuating troops. The town was
expected to surrender shortly. Valencia
usually gets its cargo of fruit at Santa
Marta.
Outrages by Rebels.
Officers of Valencia say horrible outrages
were committed during the fighting by the
rebels, who used chiefly machetes. All the
government troopa were found along the
railroad tracks, their bodlea being terribly
mutilated. They were covered by branches
of banana trees. Santa Marta Is entirely
cut oft from communication with outside
points and the residents ot the port have
sent an appeal by sea to Colon for pro
tection. It Is feared the revolutionists
will sack Banta Marta when they capture
the town.
The attack of the revolutlonlsta was en
tirely unexpected and owing to their supe
rior numbers the resistance of the govern
ment troops was half-hearted. The officers
of Valencia do not think the government can
get reinforcements Into the town In time
to aavs It
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 10. The Brit
ish ateamer William Cliff reachsd here to
day frtim .Colen.- Its-officers reported con
siderable activity on both aides of the Isth
mus, which the vessel left Monday, and
that the revolutlonlsta bsd occupied Cule
bra and were advancing In atrength.
Concentrating the Troops.
General Benjamin Htfrera la said to be
In command of the revolutionary forces,
which seem to be concentrating at a point
midway between Panama and Colon. There
are atrong government forcea at each end
of the railroad. Owing to the fact that the
government doea not know where to ex
pect an attack it keeps the soldiers moving
along the forty miles of railroad. The rev
olutlonlsta gained possession of Culebra
without opposition. The government I
maintaining an attitude of defense, and a
desperate engagement Is expected shortly.
Business on the Isthmus Is suspended.
One of the officers of William Cliff said
to a representative of the Associated Press
that ha had been Informed by a reliable
person at Colon that the government con
sidered the situation serious snd that a
crisis was at hand. When William Cliff
left the prevailing opinion was that the
revolutlonlsta would attack Panama first,
because of the support tbey would get from
their gunboata on the Pacific aide in an at
tack on the first named city. The revo
lutlonlsta have no gunboata oa the Atlantic
side.
Will Push Their Work,
It la believed tha revolutlonlsta will push
their operations as qulokly as possible, be
cause of the problem of provisioning the
large government force that surrendered to
General Herrera recently. It la thought
that aome of General Herrera'a prisoners
will fight with his forcea.
The government la said to be chafing -at
the delay at arriving In Panama ot the
sew gunboat Bogota, recently purchased
at Seattle, Wash., by Minister Concha.
Lack of transportation facilities for the
government Is said to be largely respon
sible for , the present situation on the
Isthmus.
PANAMA. Sept. 10. The censorship
maintained by the Colombian government
over press matters makes It Impossible to
cable many details concerning the surren
der of Ague Dulce, where the government
forcea under General Morales Brrtl re
cently surrendered to the Insurgents.
The Insurgents toqk possession of Agua
Pulce In January of this year, after hav-
' !ng defeated the government forces under
Oenertl Castro, who managed to retreat
with nearly 400 men and reach Panama
General Bertl waa sent to recover the
place. When he arrived there he found
that the strong forces under Oeneral Her
rera had retired from Agua Dulce, which la
altuated between two big rivers, the Santa
1 Maria and the Nats, and General Bertl en
tered and took possession of the town.
The Insurgent gunboat Padllla captured
the port ot Agua Dulce, severing General
Bertl's communication with Panama by
aea and the alege of Agua Dulca waa begun
ITALY TO STAMP OUT DUELLING
Army Officers Will Be Seriously Pas
Ished for Following- the
Code.
MILAN, Sept. 10. As the result of a duel
fought hers several days ago between two
captalna of the Sixth regiment, the Italian
authorlt'ea seem to be determined to stamp
out duelling. The challenger has been ex
pelled from the army, and bis sntagonlst
has been sent to 3. fortress. The most
striking features are other punitive meas
ures taken. A colonel of the BlX'teth regi
ment baa been suspended, a lieutenant col
onel has been imprisoned for fifteen days
and two major grnerala have been given
ten days imprlaonmsnt Former captains
who acted aa aeconds have beso aent to a

RUSSIA STAYS IN MANCHURIA
ahjeeta ot tha tsar Evidently la
tend to Held What They
Have.
PEKIN, Sept 10. According to advices
received here from Manchuria the Rus
sians are making no visible preparations
to withdraw from the military occupation
of the southeast portion of the province
of 8hln King, aa was stipulated should be
done within six months ot the signing of
the treaty. Russian troops and emigrants
are reported to be In Manchuria In large
numbers, but none are leaving.
TIEN TSIN, Sept. 10. Colonel Byron
Kopp, director of the Manchurlan railway,
General Baranoft, acting govenor, and 4ther
acting Russian officers In Manchuria have
gone to Pekln In connection with the with
drawal of the Russian forcea from Man
churia and th -toratlon of the railway.
WASHING', '.--.ot. 10. While Mr.
Laessar'a notice . Intention of the
Russian governmeb. fy. -oel forelgnera
from Manchuria has ' . " n formally
brought to the attention a. 'te de
partment, it can be predicted iv ,ee
ent, at least, our government will on
this matter as one Involving Russia,' tJlna
and England and one in which It Is not
directly cencerned. There are no Amer
icans In that aectlon of China and It it
should appear that thera are some Amer
ican prospectors in that country It Is not
probable the decree would be enforced in
their case. While general In terms the
decree really Is aimed at the British and
marks a determination on the part of Rus
sia to retain the control ot customs In
Manchuria In its own hands, while nom
inally recognising Chinese sovereignty.
The British customs employes referred
to are British by nativity, but are actually
in the employ of the Chinese government
and it may be that Russia will Insist that
the question raised by Mr. Laessar'a orders
concerns only Russia and China. It Is Im
probable that the British government will
take this view of the matter, and It Is fully
expected the British minister at Pekln will
call on the Chinese government to retain
these British customs officiate, despite the
Russian order. '

CARNEGIE'S GIFTS ARE LAUDED
Declared to Be of More BeneBt to the
World Than Rhodes'
Brqncst.
t
BELFAST, Sept. 10-The seventy-second
annual meeting of tha British Association
tor the Advancement ot Science commenced
here tonight. The attendance was larger
than at any former gathering of the asso
ciation, with the exception of that of 1901
at Glasgow. The address of James R. De
war referred to the recent munificent bene
factions to science and education and es
pecially to tbe glfta of Andrew Carnegie
and the late Cecil Rhodea. He said he
thought the means chosen by Mr. Rhodes
were not the most effective which could
have been selected, but that It muet be
remembered that Mr. Rhodes' alms were
political as well as educational.
"He bad a noble and worthy ambition to
promote the enduring friendship of the
great English speaking communities of the
world." said Prof. Dewar, "snd he wss
probably Influenced by the hope that a
large Influx ot strangers would brosden
Oxford's notions."
Referring to Mr. Carnegie's endowment
of Scottish universities and the founding of
an educational institution at Washington
be said were a more direct benefit to edu
cation than the benefits from Mr. Rhodes'
founding cf scholarships. Prof. Dcwar
said that the founding of the institution at
Washington meant a benefit for the old
world as well as to the new.
Reviewing the meager contributions to
the Royal Institution of Great Britain dur
ing the past century rtof. Dewar reached
the conclueion that wl hout such endow
ments as Mr. Carnegie n tbe outlook for
disinterested research w is rather dark.
Tbe Carnegie Institute, he said, could dis
pose In one year of as much money aa the
Royal institution bad expended In a cen
tury in its purely scientific work and It
would be interesting to note how far the
output of high class scientific work cor
responds to the hundredfold application of
money to ita production.
Speaking on the subject of applied chem
istry. Prof. Dewar made a scathing criti
cism of "the deplorable backwardness" of
Great Britain In thla field aa compared
to foreign countries. Taking Germany as
an example, the professor declared that
notwithstanding tho Immense range of
chemical aclencea the United Kingdom bad
once been Interested In, Germany em
ployed a chemical staff three times as large
and aa superior In training aa It was su
perior numerically. He said tbe Germans
had a monopoly which enabled them to
exact tribute from tbe rest of the world.
, Prof. Dewar said it was the failure of
schools to turn out and manufacturers to
demand properly trained men which ex
plained Great Brltain'a loss of valuable
Industries and the country's precarious hold
upon others.
"To my mind." eald he, "the really ap
palling thing la not that the Germana
have seised upon thla or other Industries,
but that the German population has reached
a point of general training and specialised
equipment which It will take ua two gene
rations of bard and Intelligently directed
educational work to attain.
ASK FOR A FOREST RESERVE
Wyoming People Hopejby that Means
to Pnt a Stop to. Forest
Fires. ' I
(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. (Special Tele
gram.') The general land office today re
ceived a numerously signed petition from
citizens of Fremont county. Wyoming, ask
ing for the creation of a forest reservo
embracing 550,000 acres along the conti
nental divide south of the Shoshone In
dian reservation and west and southwest
of Lander. It Is within this srea that the
most disastrous forest fire in the his
tory of Wyoming has been raging for two
or three weeks and, although the depart
ment baa put forth every effort, it has
been unable to extinguish It. The people
have asked for the creation of this reserve
in the belief that by no other means can
these fires be prevented or controlled.
Once the reserve is created it will be sup
plied with an adequate force of super
visors . and rangers constsntly on the
ground. Now there Is difficulty In gettiug
men to the scene of the fire. The depart
ment will at once send representatives to
Investigate and report on the advisability
of withdrawing these lands with a view to
ultimate creation of the reserve. In view
of the fact that the major portion of the
tract Is mountsinous and heavily timbered,
the ultimate creation of the reserve eeems
assured.

Present Executive and Two Who Ira Will
ing to Fill tha Plaoa Are Present.
SPEAKING IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY
Attendance the Largest of Any Day
In to Date and the Weather
Renders It Possible for
People to Be Happy.
HASTINGS, Neb.. 8ept. 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Governor's day at Camp Sherman
wss a glorious success, as the weather waa
favorable, a large crowd was in attendance
and the speakers were tn good voice and
In good humor. The program began at 10
o'clock with a concert by Bond'a military
band, which was followed by excellent ad
dressee from Hon. E. A. Gilbert and Hon.
E. O. McGilton. Both were frequently ap
plauded. At 2:80 the gubernatorial party
waa escorted to the camp grounds by Sen
ator Dietrich, Mayor Miles, i H. Fleming.
L. J. Capps and other distinguished citi
xens. The speakers were welcomed to Camp
Sherman by Commander 8teele and Mar'.
Howe. Senator Dietrich was accorded thu
honor of presiding over the meeting.
The first speaker Introduced was J. It.
Mickey, republican candidate for governor.
Mr. Mickey began by taking the old soldiers
bark to the old days of '61 and '62. Hi
agreed with General Sherman that war is
hell, and especially when there waa ao
many hardships to endure as there was dur
ing the civil war. He gave statistics ot
the great loss of life during the war. The
Second Wisconsin regiment headed the list
with the greatest number of soldiers killed
and wounded. These statistics be compared
with foreign battlea and showed that tho
percentage of loss there was small com
pared with Gettysburg and other big battles
during the civil war. He called attention
to the fact that 98 per cent of the union
soldiers were of the laboring class, and
then bs paid the farmers and day laborers
a high compliment. The war la over and It
haa brought a united country, a country
stronger and better. It bas made the north
and south all one and caused the blue and
the gray to love the Stars and Stripes for
ever. Thompson Follows Mickey.
W. H. Thompson, the fusion candidate for
governor, followed Mr. Mickey, and began
his address by telling a story Illustrating
the point that the man who speaks last has
the advantage. Then he began to get se
rtoua and eulogized the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic. His defini
tion of patriotism was that of home love.
It Is the foundation and inspiration of all
that Is good and just. It was the spirit ot
patriotism that brought the first settlers
on Plymouth Rock. It waa this spirit that
caused the thirteen colontea to brefk away
from English rule and It was this spirit
that brought free speech and a frte press.
He reviewed the atruggle betwen Lin
coln and Stephen A. Douglas and tild how,
after the battle waa over, Douglas walked
up to President Lincoln and sail: "You
are my president and my love for patriot
Ism la atronger than ever. I offer you my
aervlcea."
Here he eulogized Abraham Linnoln and
pointed with pride to tbe tact taat Ne
braska's stat capital la named after thla
great statesman. Nebraska Is the center of
the United Statea and the United lltates is
the center of the world of Intelligence.
Savage Gets Into Tight Place.
Governor Savage thanked Senator Diet
rich for making the Introductory state
ment that he la not as Savage as he looks
and then he said that while politics was
barred from these meetings, yet It waa
the best place he knew for a candidate to
go vote hunting. He denied the statement
made by Thompson to tbe effect that the
last speaker would always tell the biggest
lie, and attempted to prove It by Baying
that Mr. Thompson knows what he raid in
that respect was anything but true. He
told a couple of Jokes which caught tbe
orowd, but the best one was when be said
that "thla is Qovernore' day and we have
with us a past, present," and turning
toward' the chair supposed to be occupied
by Mr. Mickey, be was about to say future
governor, but the place waa occupied by
Mr. Thompson, and when Mr. Savage rea
lized thia position be came to a dead stop,
while the crowd howled and cheered.
State Superintendent Fowler waa also
present and. being called for. delivered a
most pleasing address, In which he ad
vocated the Importance of the school
teachers and school children attending dis
trict and state reunions ot the Grand
Army of tbe Republic. It waa hla opinion
that they would learn more about tbe his
tory of the wsr and get better Ideas of
what war meant by attending reunlona of
thla kind than they could get In any other
way.
