THE AFFRAY ON THE IsrHM;s-AMERIcANs ROBBED
AND MuRDERED.-A terrible riot took place recently
at Panama, between Americans, passengers on the
steamer Illinois, and Others and the natives, half
breeds and negroes. The difficulty originated in
dispute between passenger and native about
some change for water melon. Some twenty or
thirty Americans were killed, and many wounded.
Some of the natives were also killed, but not as
many as would have been, had the passengers been
we'll armed. The Americans, men and women, were
robbed by the natives to the amount of some thirty
Or forty thousand dollars. The police of the place
pretended to be cndeavoring to quell the riot, but
their efforts were of no avail. This affair will no
doubt be thoroughly investigated by our govern
ment. We nerer heur Of such infamous outrages
being perpetrated ON British suIjtcts Let our gov
eminent see to it that the guilty wretches-who
have dared to lay violent hands on American cti-
zens-are brought to condign punishment; and, if
necessary, let the whole race of vermin in human
shape, in that locality, be exterminated The very
name of 1merican citizen should be rendered ter
ror to such wretches.
