away from home several months, during
which time they never saw familiar face,
can imagine the reception we gave them,
the questions which were asked and as
readily answered, and the hours given up
to visiting the first few days after they ar
rived. Mr.. Bourne has already taken the
position of general freight agent at this
place, and Mr.. f. d. yelling of North
Bennington, takes the same position at
Panama, vice T. d. Dole, who goes home
by the steamer to-day. Mr.. Bateman fills
the same position hero he did in Vermont,
an engineer, and those that have ridden be-
hind the Mountain Boy, when controlled
by him, know that he is equal to the emer-
gency. .... .,,. ..s..
POLITICAL MATTERS
for the past few days have, been rather ex-
citing in their nature, and the long looked
for revolution has come, nobody injured,
not gun fired, and those who week ago
were in office have been elected and some
of them now ianguish in durance vile.

came over from Panama and visited Reaf
Admiral Mullaney 0p his flag ship Worces-
ter, Rumor has it that the visit of the
president was to receive notice from the
Admiral that the United States government
had given HIM orders to officially notify
the authorities of the state of Panama that
If it again became necessary to land Ameri-
can forces for the purpose of protecting;
the transit of the Is,hmus that they would
| be maintained here. Such a notice is what
is needed and it would not be strange flour
government should yet be obliged TO do SO.
Nearly every year they are compelled to
keep one or two vessels here or at Panama,
for several months, as in this country
revolution is liable to occur at any day,
and without the protection afforded by
war vessels there is no knowing what might
be the result. -. ....,-.,.., "a
On leaving the, ship the, president received
a salute of nineteen guns, and those who
say they. know, aver that the visit was ex-
tremely cordial on both sides.
Monday, the 10th, the steamship Henry
Chaupcey arrived from Savanilla.. As pas

and fifty national troops, under command
of General Santa Domingo Villa and Gene

Panama. When X was known the nation.

j was at a red heat, and everybody (nearly)
predicted that serious fight would occur
when they arrived at Panama, which has
been in open hostility to the national gov
ernment Al one O'Clock the, troops left
for Panama, where they arrived at four,
but found no hostile forces drawn UP to
meet them. One battalion was Immediately
sent out, who took possession Of the gov
eminent barracks and other buildings,
while the other remained on one of the
docks until Tuesday morning, when Gene
raj Carmargo dispatched note to Presi.
dent Arosemena, informing him he had
been sent to maintain the authority of the
national government, and directing him to
give up his position before twelve O'Clock
. to whoever he might appoint. President
Arosemena could not see il in that light
: Twice before has he been elected to the po
, sltion of president of the state-once he
, filled the position for four days, and once
: he had got as far as the doors of the gov
eminent building to take his seat, wher
his entrance was opposed by soldiers, ant
he did not have an opportunity to ever
, take the oath. This Ohe third time hat
begun to look favorable for him-he helt
3 the Office ten days, and wanted to hold il
: longer. So he returned an answer ssyinl
t that he could not comply with Genera
Carmargo's polite request The general
who does not believe in mincng matters
at once sent a. body of tro0ps, arrested tn,
president, locked him up, and, along with
him, for the purpose of keeping him com
pany, four more, Wis, ex-Presdent Miro
, who had just retired from that Office ant

I Bermudez, secretary of state, and on,
E more. A provisional government wal
G formed, and Senior ]. Azipura announced

of our cities) was removed an,
G a new one appointed in his place, who viii
: give satisfaction to ALL One of his frs
t official acts was to draw a warrant for tn
e pay of the policemen. The tax collecto

Q with him went general Of the state force
e under the old regime. He was educate,

the first chance went back on his old frlen,
d by siding with the state, and now as pay

Mr. Cervarra, the present secretary o
