A Washington dispatch of the 13th instant says: The Colombian Minister at Washington has received a telegram from Bogota announcing that the rebels of Barranquilla, persisting in their determination to ascend the Magdalena river, have been completely routed at Calamar. Their fleet of sixteen vessels sustained considerable damage through the explosion of one laden with ammunition. Almost all of the Revolutionary leaders are supposed to be killed or seriously wounded. It is believed the explosion was caused by a shell from the Government troops.
