The Panameao Of the 18th December con-
tains some interesting news about the con,
dition of affairs in and about Nicaragua We
translate the following:
Gen. Garrera has started from Guatemala
with 1000 men, to attack Walker. Gen.
Lopez has Quilted Honduras with troops for
the same destination. In the State of San
Salvador the officials are actively engaged
in raising recruits to 90 to the aid of the peo-
pie of Nicaragua in their conflict. In Costa
tica the Government has made general ap-
peal to arms, for the purpose OF lending a
helping hand to the natives of Nicaragua
against Walker and Kinney.
The situation of Nicaragua is becoming
worse and worse. Since Walker landed at
San Juan he has done nothing but impose
contributions, imprisoning even the Amer
can Consul because he refused to pay. On
his arrival at Granada, Walker levied con.
trbution of $4,000, and seized upon mer,
chandise, jewelry, and everything that he
could find, to satisfy his troops. The lady
Nicho Chamorro was violated, and maltreat-
ed in the most horrible manner, in the pro-
cess of taking some rings from her, and the
death Of the good lady was the consequence
of these brutalities. The violences commit
ted by these children of hell are innumerable
They did not even respect an unfortunate
infant of five years, which was struck dead
by them.
You already know, perhaps, of the treaty
between the two illustrious generals as they
are called, and to which Corral placed his
name, as man who had the choice of giving
his purse or his life. Walker said to HIM
"Come and sign. If you do not obey will
order twenty fathers of families, now my
prisoners, to be shot" And to give proof
of his resolution he had the unfortunate
Majorga shot. The latter died like good
Christian, but calling down vengeance upon
his assassins
