We have Panama papers to the 22d of August
The Panama Star OF the 9th has the follow
ing Information relative 10 affairs In New Gre
NADIA.
We have adsices from Bogota and Carthage
ma, which represent that an actual revolution has
broken out in the first med place--the capital
Of the republic--and that every thing is IN dis
order there We can learn no particulars, how
ever, to how the fight stands; whether the
" Rnjos" or Red RepuD licans--the government
party---or the Liberal CONSERVATIVES" are in
the ascendant
Previous to the utbreak at Bogo a. however,
we are Informed that decree was issued by the
government TO the effect that the forced contri-
button" Of which we have before made mention,
shall be levied only upon the Conservatives and
that the friends of the government party shall be
entirely exempted The consequence u.s. that
while this decree has had the effect Of complete
ly crushing the disturbances in the provinces of
Popayan, Buenaventura, &c, by causing the
Conservatives to abandon their principles and
join the Rojo" party, it has had different effect
in Carthagena, in which nelghborhood, it is said,
the people are much ncensed, and are making
extensive arrangements for revolt. BY the next
English steamer at Chaores, we may look for
important advces from the Atlantic side of this
republic.
Gen Herrera, the newly appointed governor
Of this province, is at Cartago-but we can't tell
our readers exactly where Carriage is.
BY our previous adgices from Panama, we
were informed of serious disturbance among
the passengers on board the steamer Com
Stockton, lying at Taboga. some of them having
gone so far as to destroy the rigging of the
vessel, and prevent the crew from dscharging
the cargo The sequel is thus detailed in the
Panama Star of August 8
Capt Acklev called upon Mr.. Consul Cor
wine for his official interference, and that gen.
tleman addressed note in reply which was read
to the passengers, and which had the effect Of
quoting them that day.
Next morning, however, "wednesday upon
the crew resuming their labor Of hosting out
the Goals, the passengers again nterfered and
made them desiSt Upon these facts being CON-
municated to Mr. Corwine, he applied to Gov.
Daz for sufficient military force to repair to
Taboga, ard arrest the mutineers
The governor very readily called out the
troops, and offered to put himself at their head,
but his generous offer was declined, because
Mr. Corwine did not think his personal services
necessary. Capt. Mckinney was then deputized
by Mr.. c. to act for him, in conjunction with the
troops, which were to be taken down on the
steamer Taboga. BY fortunate mishap, the
soldiers did not embark, however, and Captain
Mckinney started down, accompanied only by
the captain Of the port, and the official inter
prefer going on board the Stockton, Captain
Mex. showed his authority for acting as consul,
and then caused to be arrested several of the
ringleaders of the mutiny. who were at once
removed from the ship and taken ashore, but
upon proper explanations We're afterwards re-
leased. In the meantime, order being restored
and the passengers becoming fully satisfied
that they were pursuing course which was
not only placing themselves in the wrong, but
was calculated still further to enbarrass all the
means that were being taken for their relief
agreed to desist from further opposition, and
to allow the repairs of the vessel to go on with
out further delay, and so all is now quiet, and
in day or two, the vessel will be beached,
when it will be ascertained what is the extent
of her injuries.
The steam ship Sarah Sands arrived at Pana-
ma on the 18th August and was advertised TO
leave for Liverpool on the 23d of that month
touching at Callao, Valparaiso and Rio Janeiro
The Panama Herald says that when the rail
road is in operation to Gatune, which was ex-
pected to be accomplished by the LIST of Septem-
Der, the time of travel across the sthmus will be
reduced to twenty hours.
The Panama Star of the 9Th thus chronicles
an arrest of suspected robbers =
Our city was again thrown into state of ex-
element last Tuesday morning, by rumors which
gained currency, that's train of English treasure
that left here early that day was to be attacked
and robbed, six or seven miles distant from the
city. So much Importance was attached 10 the
report that those having charge of the safe tran
sit of the treasure called upon Governor Diaz
for detachment of soldiers, TO hasten to the
of the train, and escort it to Cruces which
request Governor d.. with his usual prompt |
tude, instantly complied with, and issued the or
ders for the necessary number of soldiers, who,
within few minutes after receiving them, were
on the road, fully armed and equipped, ready to
act in any emergency.
Early in the afternoon, Information was
brought into town, that six or eight persons had |
been fpprehended on the road, who were sus-
pected of having planned the robbery of the
train, and who were only prevented from carry
ing out their views by the sudden and unexpect- |
ed appearance on the ground Of their captors.-
Toward night TIE whole party were marched
into town and confined to the city prison. There
were six white men, Americ IN and Irish-one
NllAt UsONt VI tuis OF lhilpitllNB tOufi-
try, and one or two negroes. The names Of the
first six are recorded as WIN. T. White, late
harkeeper at the Western Hotel, James Martin, |
James Byrne, James Brubb, and VIM. Harris, |
runners of the Mansion House, and b. w. Rob |
inson, who is part proprietor of coffee stand in
the portico of the Panama Exchange, and who
formerly kept one of the halfway houses on the
Cruces road
These men had committed no act of robbery |
upon the train, but the Star says that subse-
quent to their arrest evidence sufficient had |
been obtained to convict several of them Of
various robberies and other crimes, which will
subject them to from fourteen to eighteen years
service in the chain gangs of Carthagena.
