of the L. s. Squadron, and Capt Miller, Of IL. NJ. 8
| ship Clio:
AZ is well known the guards furnished to the Eng
| lsh and French Consulates Of this place by Capt.
Miller have been in the habit of challenging persons In
the streets in front Of and beyond said COnsuates,
irrespective Of the character and nationality Of those
| challenged This, as may readily be supposed, pro-
duced good deal of ill-feeling among the foreign
residents more especially the Americans, who question
the right of British guard TO hail them in the public
streets of Panama. beyond the precincts OF the Con-
sulates for whose protection they bad as was alleged
| been specially furnished.
On Saturday 10Th inst, the day OF the arrival OF the
United States flagship Lancaster, the Consul OF that
nation in this port laid before Flag Officer Montgomery

| can citizen, and employee of the Panama Railroad
Company, complaining of the manner in which he and
other employees of that Company had been moested

commanding the Chriqui expedition, were passing by

were hailed by the sentnels in front OF the Consulate
on the opposite side of the street. to which they made
no reply and upon their attempting to pass they were
stopped by the sentry who presented his bayOnet at
| them. Lieut.. Fitzhugh then asked the sentry by
| whose authority he was stopped, and the sentry
replied that his orders were 10 all per
sons to answer him in passing After being detained
for some lme the sergeant Of me guard Went az the
request of Lieut. Fzhugh, for the Lieutenant of the
guard, and on his return gave orders 10 have both
| gentlemen detained prisoners, and to shoot them
down if they attempted 10 escape. On the arrival OF
the Lieutenant of the Guard they released. The
next day Sunday Lieut.. Fitzhugh, through his com
