BENJAMIN ROBINSON,
Another Shock Mt Panama.

New YORK, Septembe 9.-The Central
& South American telegraph company
have received a dispatch from their general
manager at Panama, stating that there was
another short but sharp shock this morn
ing at 5 o'clock. For the past two
nights half of the population of Panama
have slept in or walked about the square.
Many families are camped on the plains,
and few dare sleep in high buildings or
narrow streets. Much sickness from
fright and exposure is expected.
Traffic on the Panama railroad is suspend
ed, as the bridges are out of line. Baraco
bridge is safe but its approaches are sunk
and the masonry cracked or fallen.
The freight houses at Colorado are
damaged. 1t is expected that traffic may
be resumed on the 18th. The island of
Tobaga suffered considerable shock this
morning. Towns are all reported as badly
damaged. The long dormant volcanoes of
Chiriqui are reputed to be inactive erup-
