Bogota, seeing the State of Panama was
not likely to vote as he wanted in the
election for President of the Republic,
took the plan of throwing military OBJ
stacle in the way, as there is in Panama
m additional force, which had been Sc
duced from its allegiance. A General,
Camargo, was appointed Commander-in-
Chief of the Atlantic States, and the
other day made his appearance in Pana-
ma to communicate his orders to the
national force stationed here. The State
Government, suspccting that his errand
was to overthrow the present authorities,
and so secure tho vote of the State for
Senor Parrn, the Bogota Government
candidate, arrested the General before
he was formally recognized by the troops
Whether the Bogota Government will
resent this bold measure, remains to be
seen. Meanwhile, it is doubtful whether
there will be peace or war. The United
States steamer Ossipee is ut Aspinwall.
The Government of State having no
money, it has informed merchants TINT
it will be necessary to double the amount
of taxes they pay, and have given them
certain number of days to pay up.
Business is SO dull, That merchants find
it difficult to pay the expenses.
