owing TO the stringent orders regulating ad-
mission to the various arsenals and dock

nation. No secret IS made IL St. Peters

have been uassiu9 or the Sayahhs line for
weeks, or that komJroE acted on nsttGc-

ALARM OF BRITISH MERCHANTS.
British merchants are keenly alive to the
danger that the carrying trade may be
transferred from England to some other
country, the United States being the most
feared in this respect, as the result of a pro-
tracted war with so strong nation as Rus
STA. They have organized a movement,
having for its object the influencing of the
Cabinet to undertake the issuing of war
rates that would prevent the wholesale
transfer of British vessels to people of
neutral nations and in this way carry on a
war without serious detriment to England's
greatest commercial interests.

AT PANAMA.
All the U. S. troops have been with
drawn from Panama. There will be serious
trouble on the arrival of the Colombian
troops General Aizpuru has proposed to
the commander of the United States forces
to withdraw his troops to the station of the
Panama Railway Company, guaranteeing
the security of the city. Aizpuru, however,
we'll disposed, will not be able to prevent
the destruction of property and life. Bar
ricades are being erected in the streets, and
sand-bag defenses are being constructed
on the balcony of the barracks. This shows
that the insurgents are determined to fight
in the town.
