SsTt 2ih.-Early this morning the Benfcia's
forces AT me railroad depot, reinforced by ons
hoWltZtr from the ship, were transferred from
there by water TO the citv, aud marched up
from the landing past the L. y COnsul's hOass
To the Plaza. where they occupied the ~Cahu-
DO" (tOwn hall) This force was composed of
ninety-One officers and men and two twelve
pound hOwitzers, and were sent there at the
request of Neira and some Of the Americans ia
Town TO protect American residents and their
property IN the city. The force at the depot
was reinforced in the afternoon by another
company of sailors from the Pensacola.
During the next few days there was desultory
nrlng all day, and some sharp firing az night
Several parties we're Killed and wounded on
each side, but as the fighting is chiefly from
houses, both parties keeping inside aud using
windows and loop holes, a large amount OF
powder and ball is wasted. At night there /,
generally an attack by the outside party, and As
regularly a repulse.
ARRIVAL OF CoRREOso.
Attempts aremade at peace, but they DO not
amount TO anything On the 30th September
Gen. COrreOsO arrived by steamer from Central
America. He left the steamer at TahOga. and
landed in small boat outside OF the city du-
ring the night and took command. His head

headquarters ere long.
Here is the statement of his claims He was
president, and at the expiration OF his term two
years. be was reelected The constitution doe.
not allow the third term principle aud Neira
was elected president, with the understanding
that be should resign after three months, while
COTreosO was elected first deSi gnadO, lyice pres
ident.) At the proper time, however, Neira
was not IN the humOr for resigning; he preferred
TO remain where he was. This brought on the
last revolution. CorreOsO was absent az the
time, and Neira got back by unconstitutional
means. COrreosO claims that when Nera was
driven out, he, according 10 the constitution.
became president, and claims to be 80 anti the
end Of Neiras term.
ON the LIST Of October Neira visited the Pen
sacOla to protest about any people except
women ard children being allowed inside OF oar
lines at the railroad depot, but as none had been
allowed, II was clear that he went aboard for
the moral effect of Z salute of seventeen guns,
which had TO be given as long as he was the
only president in the city to be recognized. He
mas also asked TO have powder maya zine out
side, that he cannot protect, guarded by our
men, saying 1t had in il some powder belonging
TO foreigners. OF course this was not agreed 20.
BOTH PARTIES TRUST ADMIRAL Amy.
On the 4th Of October, early in the morning.
he fired house just outside OF his lines, and
which the rebels used cover. He then
applied TO the commander of the Benicia's men
at the Cabido to assist in putting out this fire
He was told that If he would arrange for a truce
and stop firing his request would be compiled
WITH but he would not agree TO that, and wrote TO
Admiral Almy tor men and a hand engine the
admiral sent them, but it was evident that Neira
only wanted to show our men in his lines during
the firing, TO make the outsiders think we had
espoused his cause; there was no place to get
water, and hand pump cOuld not have Pat tue
IRE out; the building was isolated; there was no
danger to the city, and Neira had set Gre 70 it
himself, so the men returned without giving
him that satisfaction, and in the Afternoon Az
miral Almy having il presented to hlul that the
presence OF our men fuside the city gave mora!
support to the inside party, had them withdrawn
and sent back aboard the Bsnicia. Since then
nothing new has happened except night attack
by CorTeOsO by water, but il was failure on ac-
count of the tide being too low to get his boat
over the rocks TO the walls. Thus everything
stands up to october 9th: neither party have
gained anything; some powder sent % the rebels
IN flour barrels was discovered and seized at the
railroad depot, but steamer came in aud
landed ammunition and supplies at a small bav
west OF Panama. The insdes are expecting a
steamer, too, but it has not arrived vet The
Benicia's men will probably go ashore again
soon, but TO the railroad depot instead OF the
town. A rumOr says that the foreign consuls
are getting up petition to the admiral TO have
us back in town, but do not know it there il
any truth in II.
Oct. 6, p. m.-News Just received that General
Correcso has Withdrawn his forces, and HOSTILE
ties have ceased for how long no one knows but
ior a few days any way. The rebels have gone
BACK into the country where they came from.
