Montijo arrived in port from Chriqu and of course
everybody was on the Qti ufpe to hear the news,
but the authorities were determined to head
them of, and sent as large q military force
as they could raise to prevent any communication
between the shore and the vessel until they first got
posted The mails were seized from the purser and
the owner OF the vessel, Mr.. Henry Schuber, who

captain and purser placed in charge Of an

remained in charge of a guard until an order was
sent for Its removal The object OF this attention to
Mr.. schuber was, presume, to prevent him from
circulating any news he might have received from
Chiriqui unfavorable to the government Well, when
the news came to be known II decidedly I'M
favorable. The commissioners who, as mentioned
in previous letter, had sent treat for peace
were ANONYMOUSLY snubbed and refused permission
to land at Chirlqui. They consequently came back
on the steamer Their report is that the Chiricanos
have refused to acknowledge the provisional gov
