in this city yesterday from Panama. He
said things in Panama are in a most ex-
citing condition. Yellow fever is raging
in its dead-best form. Men are dying off
by wholesale, and those who are alive and
well are running a revolution without
head or tail to it, and killing each other off
like wind. The French want to get the
Isthmus into their power. and no n
doubts but they will succeed. It is ex-
pected the tri-color flag will be run up in
q few days at the farthest, and the French
protectorate be declared. The people
want to separate their State from the
United States State of Colombia. and are
only too glad to encourage the plans Of
the French. PIN pronounces the canal
impossible, but speaks lightly OF the
French pluck in removing obstacles.
