Ao"u " TUG ponce, and minute inquiry had
been secretly instituted. Yesterday the ter
ants of the suspected house, which Is situated
on the Hue Des Aristod, were surprised by
q, ,ne sudden eruption of strong body of po-
ice. Three men, supposed to be Nihilists-
iVanhoH, fiovowltz and another, name I'M
known-were found In one of the rooms sur

captured and taken off to the depot before
they had time to attempt resistance. A
number OF papers are said to have been
seized on the premises. Among them were

ADvIcEs FROM PANAMA.
New York, May 26th.-Advices from
Panama to the 18th say Recent kilograms
| from the interior announce the fusion in one
body. to be known hereafter as Union Lib
eral." of all the factions of the Liberal party
| In the republic. A manifesto has been issued,
| signed by seven of the leaders of these fac
tions, burying out of sight all former differ
encss and enmity, on basis of agreement
which is to form political creed of the new
Ukion, and combining their forces in support
of candidate named by the Government.
Dr. Saldna's election may be regarded as GER
tain, and neither politically nor By revolu-
tionary force will it be opposed. In the State
of Panama this intelligence is regarded by the
friends of Pablo Arosemena as securing his
election to the Presidency of the State.
| Murders are frequent on the Isthmus OF
Panama, some of them being committed uu-
der circum stances of peculiar atroeiby. In
thirty days we have had ten murders and
one suicide. Life is insecure. Police vigil
lance is deplorably slack, and justice halts in
the punishment of crime. We require the
stern action of the Vigilance Committee of
early California days.
Some excitement exists in Bogota over the
| terms of the protocol to the treaty of 1916,
between Colombia and the United States.
recently signed by Sapt0 Domingo ' la and
| Mr.. Evarts in New York. 1t is said to cede
to the United States privileges which are un-
acceptable to the Colombian Congress, in the
matter of building forts, the establishing of
naval stations on the IsthInus, and the pas.
sage Of American ships of war through the
canal, etc. Our information ON the subject
here is still unreliable, but it seems that the
President is disposed to make many eonces-
sions to the United States and yield to Amer
lean influence in the matter of the canal in q
way quite exasperating to the majority in
Congress, who are decided partisans of De
Lesseps.
In the canal matter all is quiet. Surveys
are being prosecuted slowly, but the absence
of NJ. B!anchet, the moving spirit in the en-
terprise, has thrown damper on the energy
and spirit with which operations were for
merly pushed. Quantities OF material con-
stantly arrive, also machinery, etc. as well as
labor from Carthagena, Port Limon and
Jamaica, and as soon as the working plans
are ready the men and tools will be on the
ground. There is q total lack of enthusiasm
concerning the affair, and those people who
are always quick to take impressions from
what they see on the surface of such enter
prises are much disguised with the economi-
cal Frenchmen. They admit that if it were
only Yankee company that had undertaken
the job much more would already have been
accomplished, more money spent and five
times the amount of work accomplished.
