The trial Of VIM. Williams at Panama 70
the murder Of Capt. Junius Otis Of Boston

The Panama Star says most horrid and
cold blooded murder was committed on board
the train coming from Aspinwall to Panama,
on the 2lst of June. There were some 500
passengers from the Northern Light on the
train, one Of whom named VIM. Williams was
rather inebriated, when near Watachin, Will
liams went out on the platform and kicked
one of the brakesmen merely for fun, as he
says. Another of the passengers, Capt Juui-
as OTIS attempted to reason with him for so
doing, stating such conduct was likely to in
voye the passengers in difficulty. few
words passed between them when Williams
drew out a dirk and stabbed the unfortunate
Otis in the right breast from the effects of
which he died in about fifteen minutes. The
passengers were disposed to lynch the mur-
derer immediately but they were prevailed
upon by the conductor Mr.. Lee, to deliver
him up to the authorities ON arrival at Paua-

800 or 600 strong, and reached San Juan
where they laid down their arms before the
authorities of State.
Gen. Vedourri commander of the Govern
ment forces in the North returned to Valpa-
raise on the 9th, and was received with great
enthusiasm, The troops are also returning
home but the war footing Of the army has not
yet been reduced,
number of political prisoners have been
tried by court martials and sentenced to
DEATH but in all cases the Government has
commuted punishment to imprisonment or
banishmcnt from the country. This lenient
policy on the part of the Executive has done
much to increase its popularity. There is
some prospect Of the army being employed in
reducing the Indians of the Arauoanian Ter
ritory and the press generally approves Of
the project, but as yet the Government has
to the matter.
Congress was to meet on the first of June
and the Message Of President Monti was
looked forward TO with great interest The

was proclaimed ends same day, but the Pres

ierrcd on him until the end of the year.
Rumors Of certain changes in the Cabinet
are current, but in the best informed circles
they meet with little crdt.
The long pending difficulties between Gen.
Urguizapresident of the confederation and the
Government Of Buenos Ayres, seem likely to
result in war. Urguiza reckons on the sup
sort Of Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay and is
determined to compel Buenos Ayres TO join
the confe leracy.

Echinigue and others.
The revolution in ECUADOR under General
Morgan, has become quite interesting. The
regular troops are giving over to the insur-
gents, and the defeat Of the Government was
considered certain. Guayaqul was still
blocsaded by the Peruvian fleet.
