various parties. All expeditioniss bad to pay $40

They left in great confusion, leaving almost all
their ammunition, medicine chest and surgical in
stru ments, sc, behind.
As the commanding officer of the government
had orders given to take prisoner as it was lni-
possible to identify any of the dead Americans
The Walker party, when passing the Transit to-
wards San Juan del Sur presented the most lamen-
table sight-seyeral wounded, all of them inrags,
and extremely dirty; some even without boots and
hats They were very low spirited, and excited
against the Leon party for having abandoned them.
They confessed having lost IA men, and among
them three of their principal officers and that they
did not expect such furious and brave resistance.
The stomihg of house, they say, was indeed great
feat and they acknowledged having far moderated
the people they thought to meet. They say that
Col. Walker was not in the eight, and therefore
could not have been killed
The Leonese, under Madrigil and M,nder, went
towards the Costa Riea boundaries, and took tor
this purpose about 20 mules from the transporta-
ton contractor of the Accessory Transit company.

SAKE, the poet, best describes the feelings" Of
this suffering country, when he says;
Fat men, infatuate, face the stagnant air,
In rash essay to cool their inward glowing,
While With each stroke, in dolorous despair,
They feel the fever growing.
The lean, the lathy, find fate as hard,
For, all a-dry, they burn like any finder
Beneath the solar blaze, till withered, charred,
And crisped away to cinder.
En- stoics now, are in the melting mood,
And vestal cheeks are most unseemly ford
The very zone that girts the frigid prude,
Is now intensely torrd.
The dogs lie telling in the deepest shade
The pigs are all avalon in the cutters,
And not household creatuTe-cat or maid
Bot querulously mutters.
q 'Tis dreadful, dreadful hot" cxclaims each one
Unto his sweating. sweltering roasting neighbor,
Then mops his brows, and sighs rs be had done,
A quite Hercuiean labor. srga
And friends who pass each other In the town,
Say no good morrows when they come together,
But only mutter, with dismal frown,
''what horrid, horrid weather"
