The Panama Star gives the following
account of the loss of the Cass-Herran
treaty:
at appears that the treaty reached
Carthagena too late for the regular mail,
and was sent through by special courier,
but suffering the fate to which the paltry
document was entitled, it was lost in the
Magdalena river.
Of course another treaty cannot be sent
out in time for confirmation by the pres
ent Senate, and the matter must remain
over for another year.
The best thing that can now be done is
to let the whole matter of reclamations
drop altogether. 1t will be more credita-
bic and more satisfactory than repeating
the farce already enacted at Washington,
in reference thereto"

Orleans. We copy few items.

One of these soon gave out and the
otherthree, after suffering incredible hard
ships, made their way to settlement on
the Mohaye. Their names are W. Cole
