that IL was impossible for us TO meet them again.
the enemy had on the Juanambu nearly 700 men,
the same which were completely routed. At the
" Arboles' we nearly fell III with them; but the
moment they saw US they escaped suddenly. We
reached "l0s Arboles on the 18th of July, at b
O'Clock in the morning, after having Travelled during

Alter this, Miguel Quiiano, coBmanderin-chief.a at

interview took place at bridge "QmIcaee on The

recognized by the Government of Mosquerai the

10Th of July their forces advanced as fur as the
village of Dolores" two leagues distant IRON
Los Arboles," where we We're. On the 9th, %Sth,
and 18th the enemy proceeded toward us slowly.
ON the morning of the 30th they occupied hill near
"Los Arboles, and our forces were situated on a
hight below the hill, where parapet had been
made. Our distance then from the enemy was
only about hall mile because 1t was our object 10
make them descend TO our position, to which Ell
feet several skirmishes were presented. At last
we succeeded ia bringing them down from the hlll,
and on the 3lst at O'Clock In the morning, battle
began, and the enemy attacked us with great pluck
ct first; and soon alter, Major Juan Mlramon fell
down being very seriously wounded III the heAdj
and Young officer, ATistides Hacera (ony IA years
of agel was killed. At about eleven clock we eX-
pcnepced a very hard time, as the enemy had per-
fectly tanked our left size, and intended 10 90 as
much with our right. We were fired at almost in
every direction until three o'clock in the af-
ternoon, when the enemy beng convinced
of the impOssibihty to break through our
left flank with their night, they decided TO
retreat and then our forces attacked with great
Vlgor, leaving many OF them dead on the held, as
also their chei, jose Perez. This occurrence Gre
ated great confusion among them, and consequently
they were entirely defeated. This battle, III which
the enemy lost l37 dead, about 2OO wounded, and
more than l5O which were taken pTlsoners ehGed al
o'clock in the AFTERNOON Our loss was as follows:
Is dead, and 90 wounded. At Los Arboles the en-
envy attacked us with 300 men, and the force with
which we resisted and defeated them only amounted
10 700.
AT about O clock, while fighting, the brave Lieut..
Azael Cardenas that great friend of ours, was
wounded over his left eye in the forehead and died
four hours after. When we had returned 10 our
Qurters, / went by tie side of our friend and re-
manned with him until hali-past D p. NJ, when we
were ordered TO proceed 70 Dolores. was very
sorry not to have left Azael in his gave but duty
called me, my company was to follow In search OF
the enemy. So
In order to reach Popayan as soon as possible, we
continued travelling Gay and night, and on the 9th
of August, at O'Clock III the morning, we arrived
nj farm which Lies 800 yards from the city, aud on
the 9th we got 10 Belen," chapel, situated on a
hight. On the night Of the Sa we entered Popayan,
breaking through the houses IN order 10 reach the H.
trenchments which the enemy had built. On the 9Th
we fought the whole day within the city, and pushed
them in such manner that on the 10Th, at clock
in the afternoon, they surrendered. We made them
nearly all prisoners. We have taken all their arms,
and the number OF the dead has been small.
When we expected that Major Miramon should
recover, we have news Of his death al Dolores.
From The Panama Star and Herald Oct4.
A TEMPEST IN A TEAPUT.-Panama was again on
the eve of a revolution Monday night last but as
usual the excitement Gained down without any seri-
Gus damage being done.
1t appears that the Governor Of the State had
ordered the soldiers from Rio Hache, about $50 in
number, to lay down their arms, fearing trouble be
tween the mand Of the natives OF Panama. Thi:
the Rio Aacheros refused 70 do, and the result Wal
that the Governor obliged TO call out the militia
TO carry out bis orders, giving the soldiers until
O'Clock on Tuesday morning to obey. During Mon
day night sentInels were placed at the different
corners of the streets and pcket-guards throughout
the city.
The former were composed Of the Zousve regi.
meDt aud, appears from what we can learn, were
annoyed good deal by some of the Rio Hacheros
firing at them when on guard. One Of them was
wounded in the leg Immediately after mailing a
pssser-by, and q woman and child were also
wounded by balls intended for some one else.
Considerable firing was kept up during the night
and many innocent people narrowly escaped being
shot. We hear also OF several complaints against
the sentinels who, 1t Is said instead Of giving time
for a response, fired individuals Immediately after
hailing them, and then ran away, deserving their
posts. 1t is remarked, too, by persons who were in
the street, that the officers were not 10 DO seen, and
the men consequently were allowed to act pretty
much az they pleased.
Sneh conduct and mismanagement tended to keep
the entire population in state of alarm until about
SOeOck Oh Tuesday morning, when the Governor
and Senor Vieco who appears TO have been in com.
mand Of the Rio Haeheros, came to an amicable un-
deTasnding, the latter agreeing 10 dsar the soldiers
and the former promising TO pay them two mouths
back wages each and deiFay their expenses TO their
homes, and we learn he is now merely waiting the
services of q vessel 10 send them of
