troops insulting foreigners and attempt
ing to plumber one ortwo oftheir houses.
Most tortunoly allwere of one mind and
the combined British and American
forces with the volunteers, succeeded
in driving away tho Imperial troops. and
ultimately arrangements were mado
blythe consular authorities and the chief
OF the Imperial troops, that tho latter
should remove his encampment to fur
ther distance and tits to be hoped all fu-
turo aggression will be avertcd.
In this short fight ono English and one
American sailor were killed aud Is per-
sons wounded, among them two of the
jealous body Of volunteers. The local
papers gives full details Of tho collision.
