KINGSTON, JAMAICA, May 25.-The
Hsralds special correspondent in Pan
ana, writing under date of the 2lst
inst, sends the following intelligence:
I'm the llth inst. a conference was held
between President Correozo and officers
sd the rebel leader, General Herrea,
a1d friends. Herrea presented a doc.
unent demanding the resignation o1
Correozo, re.arrangement Of the State
government, reduction Of army, and
guarantee that all the expenses shall be
pEd by the State treasury, and the re-
tu'n of the steamers Montijo and Ocho
to Hermons, the owner, on the basis
guaranteed by the Consular Body and
government. In reply to these de,
minds, President Correozo refused to
resign, but promised general amnesty if
tie insurgents would lay down their
ans, and agreed to pay the expenses
o the steamer Montijo from the time OF
her seizure. He declared ifthese terms
we're refused the rebels might land their
frees three miles from Panama and
gve notice Of the time and place where
tle battle could be fought, but that no
fghting should take place within the
city.
Following this interview, on the
right of the 18th inst. the steamer
Iontijo, with $50 passengers on board,
anchored off Panama, and on the 10th
;ast. landed force at Paitalla, three
niles south of the city. At first it was
hoIght bloody struggle was immi-
tent, but fortunately the danger was
averted through the interference Of
foreign Consuls. Correozo and Here
rea, who were interviewed by them,
were induced to sign articles OF peace.
The terms have not been published
officially, but it is understood that Cor
reozo comedies the revolutionists prlvl-
liges of minor Government appoint
ments, and the State pays the expenses
of the revolution in the case Of the
steamer Montijo. 1t was also agreed
that the revolutionists should disarm
and disband. Both parties are dissatis-
fled with this arrangement, and more
trouble is anticipated. The rebels claim
that they are entitled. to belligerent
rights, and assert that under Article VI
of the Columbian Constitution they
were justified in seizing the steamer
Montijo. The American Consul denies
these rights and calls the act political.
The question has been referred to Wash
