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.

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. ■ ONE KILLED, ANOTntK HURT.
