Intelligence from Panama.
PANAMA. Nov. 26, 1919.
Arrirais from the Atlantic and Cab fania-C roOd-
ing the CITY, &c. &c.
Our town at this moment presents busy, bust
ling scene-the passengers by the California hsv-
Irg sooner left, than we are well nigh inundated
by swarm of emIgrants from the Atlantic side.
Fortunately for the large number now here, and on
the road, the place is comparatively healthy
but most unfortunately for nine-tenths of them,
opportunity favors their progress beyond the walls
Of the town. Already there about eight hun
dred waiting, and some six seven hundred more
on the isthmus, all in high expectations OF speedy
exit but am wofully mistaken if over one thou
sand at least, will not curse the hour when they
| left their homes.
There is not the least possible chance for more
than five hundred Of this number to get Il passage
up. The California and two small sailing vessels
are all that are now, arelikely TO be, put up for
San Francisco.
have only time to say these few words, which
trust will be received AS a friendly caution to
those about leaving. Ii will be impossible to Pic
ture the extent OF misery aud disappointment that
must inevitably follow this great Influx.
