| of the Chepo district arrived in that city with
the intelligence that o BARREN Indian had COM
| municated to the Chepo people that body of
| eleven foreigners had been deyoured by wild
| beasts while attempting to cross the country
| from the Atlantic to the Pacific!
/ The Clepo Indians reported that the natives

other government would hold them responsible

dams, he came to Panama to declare their limo
4 cence and to learn from the Governor what
measures he would take in relation to them,
The Star adds: &c This report leads us to fear
now that the whole of Strains party has been
destroyed land we have but little hope left for
the safety of any of them. The report that
eleven-just one half of the party-had been
destroyed by wild beasts, leads to suppose that
eleven of the original party having been picked
off singly by disease, privation, or treachery,
the remaining eleven, in a state of exhaustion
were annihilated at one swoop by unfriendly
Indians 1t is horrible conclusion to arrive
:. at-but we can come to no other"
