The British steamer the Bolivar ar
rived to day. bringing from cores
ponden. of the Associated Press,
dated Panama. September :: The
ends of the Aspinwall and Jamaica
cable were recovered in mid-ocean,
August %. in 100 fathoms, and
buoyed. No further communIcation
has been received since that date.
Since The departure OF the steam
si,ir Rising Sun on the 10Th uitlmo'
for New York, Panama has been the
scene of intense political excitement
and further b,oodshed. For many
wears past, society here has not been
in q condition so unsettled and I'M
satisfactory as at present. \ com
plete want of confidence and ieeiihS
OF insecurity preva,!es the entire
community. and runlors OF expected
outbreaks and fresh revolutions are
never wanting. On the afternoon OF
! the 18th ultimo one of the most DIS
| graceful acts Of bloodshed ever known
to Panama occurred, by which two,
among the most respectable citizens
of Colombia were hurled into eter-
nity The victims were Colonel U.s.
cateSui and Senior Manuel de Jesus
| Bermudes. Tie facts are as follows:
Colonel Uscategui for years past had
been for wears past had been COM
| napder of the national troops sta
toned on the Isthmus for the protec-
| ton of the transit of property. Du-
ring the State revolution on the 9th
Of April lasa he called out his troops
and took an active part IN protecting
the life of the deposed President OF
the State of Panama. General Nelra,
although as commander of the natio-
nal forces sent here in accordance
with the existing treaties with the
United States for special national
purposes, he had no right whatever
to do so. Again, on tie 9TH of May,
he led ont his forces against the re-
evolutionary party and defeated them;
and was the cause of the recall and
reinstatement of President Neira,
who meantime had been banished.
After the events of the 9TH of May a
GOODNESS sprung up between Uscate
rrli and the reinstated Government OF
Neira. and the latter had sufficient
proof of the Colonels disatfectlon and
and his collision with the opposition
party to feel himself justified IN IS
suing an order for his arrest. Accor-
dinghy at 3 o'clock on the afternoon
: in question an order was issued by
Executive to arrest Ustategul and
place him in confinement. An houl
or two later, as the unfortunate mar
was sitting in front of the GRAND
Hotel. a squad Of police armed will
rifles appeared and informed hin
that he was prisoner. Uscategu
: entered the hotel, drew his revolver
and said he would not allow himself
to be degraded by such an insult as
TO be carried to prison by squad Of
common police, but would wil]ingl,
!: give himself into the custody OF any
respec.able citizen, naming several
then present. An order was theI
eiyen to take him at all hazards, ano
the police fired q volley into the
hotel at their victim, one shot taxing
, effect in his arm, and another enter
ing and passing completely through
the body of Manuel de Bermudes, al
innocent spectator, killing HIM al
