The Revolution SuccessfuI-slRning the
Treaty OF Poaoe.
The New York Tribune's correspondent, writing
from Panama. July 20, says:-
The revolution has succeeded. Might has
overcome right. The conservative party Of this
State, although in the majority, has yielded
before few adventurers and a handful of men.
The $50 men who left here under command OF
General Ponce, the newly.proclaimed Provi-
sional President, have suddenly been trans.
formed into heroes aud cOnquerots. Not shot
was fred nor drop OF blood split.
The story OF this boodless expedition is soon
told. As informed you IN my last, Gen. Ponce,
with his 150 men, after landing at Guerrero, had
marched on 10 Las Tablas and Los Santos. Re-
cruits he could not obtain. The villages, as was
to be expected, were totally deserted. Hence
he halted for several days at Los santos to take
observations and to consider what was to be
done. That he meant to take Santiago was
evident, or hoW else could the revolution sue
Ceed? he must put down Guerrero. But 1t was
known that the letter would resist, that he had
q large force already collected, and an enemy
must not be despised, 1t Is reported that Ponce,
after having set out for Santiago, returned
Tor fear OF an ambu- cade and defeat. Soon,
however, the truth began to leak out. A major
ity of the we'll todo citizens OF Santiago were
opposed to resistance, they ciamored for peace
upon any terms. They had but few men, they
had no general nor military officers, arms and
munitions were inadequate 10 supply even the
few recruits that had been hurredlY got to-
geher. Ponce, they said, had landed with
800 men, headed by military officers; he would
collect 200 more and what urged they, could
Guerrero do with such overwhelming forces' If
he resisted and was overcome no terms could be
expected, but If peace were signed and the
people submitted without opposiuon, some con-
cession could be obaned from Ponce. They
proposed. therefore, to send comm isslouers to
treat with Ponce to effect peace upon any
terms. These counse,s ultimately prevailed.
Guerrero was compelled to submit, his own
party was divided and hence his case was hope
less, Commissioners were at once sent out to
sign treaty. Ponce was only too glad to oo'ain
so cheap triumph. He had expected trouble,
and with many misgivings had lett for the int.
rior. Before learning how matters really stood
at Santiago, he had sent to Panama tor REIN
forcements. The news OF the Treaty and the
order for reinforcements were received here on
the same day.
The terms of peace are as follows:-Flrst, the
Provisional Government will proclaim q gen eral
amnesty to all who took any part against the
Government created on the 9th OF July. Second,
the Provisional Government recognizes all acts
OF the authorities previously existing, where
they are iu harmony with the Constitution and
the laws. Third, all those who are embraced in
the amnesty shall lay do Hn Their arms, to be
delivered to q commissioner who shall be ap-
pointed tor that purpose A similar convention
has been agreed upon with the Project of the
Department of Chiriqui. 1t is expected that
General Ponce will return to Panama within ten
days.
