PANAMA, March ).
Mail advices from Carthagenia state that
mach anxiety reigns there, as an attack is
momentarily expected. The people fear a
revival of the scene of 1876, when the war of
races was inaugurated. and only stopped
when crushed out by superior force. The
American and American vice consuls have
asked for ships of war to be sent, and proba-
bly, they have already arrived. The belief is
current that directly the rebels feel certain of
their position on the Atlantic coast they will
come towards Colin and pescibly take poses

foreigners is with the revolutionary party.
The village of Buena Vesta.a few miles from
Colon. and on the canal route, was burned
down on the night of the 18th, only eight
houses being left standing. The loss falls
heavily on the inhabitants, who are principal

was the work of an incendiary. Crime is
rapidly increasing on the Isthmus. Murders
and robberies are of almost daily occurrence

AFTER MANY YEARS.
A Remorse.Stricken Murderess Makes
a Confession.
BosroN. March 5.

BosToN, March 5.
Thirty yrs. since, Mrs. Abigail Gardner was
convicted of the murder of her husband in
Hi ingbam and was sentenced to life imprison-
ment. although at the time of her trial no
one could satisfactorily answer for the motive
that prompted her to the deed, and she re-
fused either to acknowledge or account for it.
The conviction gained ground that she was
largely influenced by animal passions and
baser instincts, which made her restless
under the family ties which prevented the
exercise of her own free will.
Mrs Gardner is now Il years old and an
inmate of the State house of correction in
New Bedford. A few days ago she sent for
Rev. Mr. Coe, chaplain of the prison, and to
him made a full confession that she poisoned
her husband with arsenic. As to the motive,
she could account for none, but simply reiter-
ated that demon seemed to urge her on till
murder was committed. He was kind man
and she never could complain of his treat
ment to her. Mrs. Gardner is overwhelmed
with remorse for her act.
