/ PANAMA, Oct o. 1865
The military expedition mentioned in my last as
having started for ChriQui has already gained an
important victory on the way. The expedition left
here on the night Of the 10TH under command OF the
President, General Correoso On the goth It called at
the Department OF Los Santos, and there found that
! on the 10th the conservative party pronounced
| against the government and placed ndefonso Mon
/ teza in charge as Project Of the Department and
Daniel Velarde as COMMANDMENTS Chief Of the forces
| which numbered upwards Of one hundred men.
Correoso ascertained at Guarare that these
| people intended marching on Panama and cap
| turing 1t as soon as news would reach them
that the expedition had left here for Chrlqui He
/ once therefore landed his men and marched on La
villa. the headquarters Of the enemy where he gave
them battle and defeated them, completely routing
| the entire force.
Correoso's loss consists In two persons slightly
| wounded. The conservatives lost Ia killed the fol-
| lowing:-
