ISMS CRISIS
UR AT HMD
• *
ALL THE GOVERNMENT FORCES
AND REVOLUTIONISTS ALL
ON THE MOVE.
BREASTWORKS ARE THROWN
Business on Both Sides of the Isthmus
is at a Standstill—Government
Thinks Situation a Serious
One.
| Kingston. Jamaica, September 11.—
The British steamer William Cliff
reached here today from Colon, Col
ombia. Her officers reported consid
erable activity on both sides of the
isthmus when the vessel left Colon
Monday, and that the revolutionists
had already occupied Culebra, on the
raiiroad between Panama and Colon,
and were advancing in strength.
General Benjamin Herrera is said
to be in command of the revolution
ary forces, which seem to be concen
trating at a point about midway be
tween Panama and Colon. Tnere are
strong government forces at both
ends of the railroad, and reinforce
ments are coming in. Breastworks
are being erected at Colon and Pana
ma. Owing to the fact that the gov
ernment does not know where to ex
pect. an attack, it keeps its soldiers
moving along tne sO miles of railroad
The revolutionists ga.ned possession
ol Culebra without opposition and
their possession of that point has not
been u slurbed. Tne government is
maintain.ng an attitude of defense,
and a desperate engagement is ex
pected shortly. Business on the isth
mus Is suspended and the people are
very feanul, especially since the rev
olutionist victory at Agua Dulce.
One of the officers of the William
Cliff said to a representative of the
Associated Press xna! he had been
informed from a reliable source at
Colon, that the Colombian government
rcauzed the situation on —e isthmus
to be serious and that a crisis was at
hand.
When tne William Cliff lett Colon
the prevailing opinion on the isth
mus was that the revolutionists would
attack Panama before advancing on
Colon because of t.ie support they
would get from their gunboats on the
Pacific side of the isthmus in an at
tack on the first named city. The
revolutionists have no gunboats on
the Atlantic side.
It is believed the revolutionists will
push their operations as quickly as
possible because of tne problem which
confronts General Herrera of provis
ioning the large government force
which surrendered to him at Agua
Dulce, in addition to the other gov
ernment prisoners he holds, it is be
lieved that some of General Herrera’s
prisoners will fight with his forces.
The government is said to be chaf
ing at the delay in the arrival at Pan
ama of the new gunboat Bogota, re
cently purchased at Seattle, Wash.,
Gy Sonar Concha, Colombian minister
at Washington.
Lack of transportation facilities for
die government Is said to be largely
responsible for the present situation
on the isthmus.
The Pinson at Colon.
Colon, Colombia, heptemoer 11.—
The government gunboat General Pin
son arrived here this morning from
Cartagena. She brought eighty mules.
Government forces have defeated a
detachment of revolutionists at Pen
on, on the Magdalena river. It is
now hoped that the reinforcements
destined for the isthmus will be en
abled to reach here without undue
loss of time. The government crui
ser Cartagena Is still at Cartagena.
Two government commissioners left
here for Savanilla for the purpose of
impressing upon the governor of the
department of Bolivar the immediate
necessity for additional reinforce
ments on the isthmus.

CHARGES AGAINST A WOMAN.

• efiloh tonight. Rabbi. Friedman, of
Tampa, who is now in the city, will
occupy the pulpit.
This will be the first time services
have been held in the Jewish syna

to the fact that they have had no
rabbi, but recently the congregation
held a meeting and reorganized and
steps were taken to select a perma
nent rabbi.
No choice has yet been made, how
ever, but it is generally thought that
Rabbi Friedman will be elected to
the place. The services tonight will
begin at 8 o’clock.
