Jcwed aud Commander Gala have
informed the navy department that
the American forces were withdrawn
from Panama yesterday because of
promises made by the rebel Aizpuru
that he would not interfere with

Panama, via Galveston, April ~
There Is no doubt in the public mind
here but that the safety of the city is
due TO the prompt action of Com
mandcr McCalla in taking charge at
the time when formidable barricades
were Mag erected aud preparations
on large scale were going onto de-
tcnd the city against the national
troops when they should arrive. Be-
cause of these preparations, no doubt
exists but that an immense loss of life
and property would have taken place
The moral effect of the occupation by
the United States troops has been
very great. Not shot has been
heard IN the city since they withdrew
but order and legitimate authority il
not yet lc-cstablishcd, and any fur
ther withdrawal might produce con
sequences which are not calculable.
