The detention of passengers at Panama. through
the officers and agents Of the American Steam Com
psny was very emphatically exposed and denounced,
by large meeting of Americans at that place on the
the 2oth ultmo. They attribute TO their deceptive
conduct, the death Of many enterprising men who
have found grave in Panama, by having TO wait for
passage which had been promised them months in
advance of their embarkaion. In addition they de-
nounced the swindiing process Of these agents. ef-
fected by misrepresentation, causing passengers in
some instances to pay as high $500 for ticket,
Or take their chance in a crowded and unseaworthy
sail vessel. The American Consul has to receive
large share in these accusations of swindling.
