Colon was seized to-day at Aspinwall
by rev0lutionists, who demanded the
delivery OF the shipments of arms on

superintendent of the Pacific Mail
Co., was first arrested, and later the
captain and purher of the steamer
were placed under arrest on board.
subsequently Captain Dowell, of the
Pacific Mail Co.; DR.. Wright, United
States consul; and q lieutenant of the
American man-of-war, Galena, were
arrested and marched off to the caur-
tel. They were released at 6 O'clock
on condition that the arms should be
delivered and the delivery is now
going on. American and English
war ships did nothing to protect for
eign interests because the revolution

their interference by force. Ameri-
cans are indignant at the insults to
their flag and outrage to their persons

perience. says Boston paper. who
can to-day testify that none OF those
years have rought to him such un-
precedented surprises both painfVl
and pleasurable. as the last. In con-
sequence of the absence Of five prom
inent teeth that he had made
for himself q rubber plate with fivv
artificial teeth attached and which
worked to satisfaction. On retiring
late one night In November he forgot
to remove them from bis mouth, ~

in the morning he felt that dawntng

tacle, the tumbler Of water, neither
was it clinging firmly to his upper
Jaw. At the same anxious moment
he experienced something of chok-
ing sensation in the region
Of his throat, and calling his
wife asked her to examine the
locality, which she did, and to her
surprise, behell the retreating form
of that selfsame plate. which had
vainly tried to ut itself to tho cavity
of the throat, but in so doing had
lodged Just too low for her grasp. He
proceeded at once to his physician.
and underweuta series Ofattempts to
extract it, which were unsuccessful.
He was then taken to the Massa-
chusetts general hospital, whore sll
efforts to extract the teeth proved
also of no avail. Meantime, the plate
worked slowly down toward the
stomach. The patient was confined
to his house about ten days and soon
recovered his usual strength and
spirits and went on his way
without experiencing any fur
ther trouble from the accident
Various were the opinions Of the
medical world In regard to what
would be. the fnal upshot Of the
matter. One doctor said Blood
poisoning must tollow." Another
said: "The rubber will digest; tho
teeth thus set free you will lid youl-
self of, and all may be we'll" But,
to say the least, the patients state OF
mind was but little eased by any
diagnosis pronounced upon the case
by men who thought they knew all
about 1t. However, after three
months, the teeth finally emerged In

they left tho dentists hands.

the General in q better condition than
the day before. He does not speak of

DR.. Douglas remains at the house

retired ca ~ in the evening. He has
not slept Ia three nights and was
nearly worn out, The difficulty Sun.
day night was the result of exuda-
tfons from the membranes of the
throat and ntse increased by nervous
apprehension that rendered the mus
cfes of the throat more rigid and less
easy to manage. These exudations,
which accompany oancerous diseases
at certain stages, were less copious
to-day and In consequence the pa
tient was quieter. The csncer at the
end of the tongue Is not yet active,
and the trouble q few days past was
the result not so much OF the devel-
opment OF disease as q consequence
Of the lower vitality of the patient.
Should General Grants demise soon
occur it will be because of failing
strength and want of vitality to with
stand the disea>e as it now Is, rather
than from the disease itself.
Midnight.-General Grant has been
sleeping nearly all the time since 8
o'clock. He has just taken nourish-
ment we'll and appears to be easy.
His pulse is the same and bis breath
