PEACE AT PANAMA.
American Officers and the Consular
Corps Settle all Difficulties.

A special dispatch from Panama says:
Peace at last dawns on the Isthmus. Gov
eminent troops from Cauca, 800 strong, I'M
der command of General Reyes, arrived here
yesterday A conference was held to-day
between General Aizpuru the rebel leader,
Admiral Jouett and General Reyes, Of
the Colombian troops, at Commander
.dcCalla's headquarters. General Reyes
demanded that General Aizpuru should
surrender Internationally. Commander Nc
Gala declared that he would occupy the city
again if the latter attempted to fight in the
streets, and furthermore stated that he had
made preparations for moving his forces
against the rebel leader. At this Aiz-
puru became frightened, as he did not dare
TO meet the Colombian troops outside on the
savannah. He finally consented 10 surrender
II granted pardon for political offences.
At meeting of the consus yesterday af-
ternoon with General AiZpurU, the latter said
that while he did not entirely accept the tt
ties conferred upon Colonel Montoya land
Colonel Reyes, he was willing to dsbanl his
forces, deliver up their arms, and retire to
private life upon these conditions:
First-He would resign to any one wh)
could constitutionaly claim power
Second-Pardon for political offences as
such, but prosecution and punishment of all
Offenders against the common law in Panama,
Colon, and elsewhere on the Isthmus.
The commissioners carried these terms
to the national commander, who refused to
listen to any terms.
The final meeting of the consular corps, in
conjunction with Admiral Jouett, Comman-
der McCalla, and the contending powers took
place this afternoon, and the best possible
solution of the present political difficulties
was arranged. Aizpuru surrenders uncon-
ditionally, and together with his fol.
lowers will retire from the city. Accord
ing to the treaty agreed upon, which is
to be signed tomorrow, the city, with
all the revolutionary armament, will be deiiv-
cred over to the government troops under
command of Colonel Reyes, as som ms they
enter the city, Colonel Montoya will then
assume the civil and military govern
orship of Panama until the reorganiza' ion
of the state government All pol, cal
offenders will receive full pardon excepting
those implicated in the recent burning of
Colon. These latter will be apprehended and
tried as criminals
According to the above terms Aizpuru sur
rendered, the Colombian troops occupied the
city, and peace was once more established.

superseded by Mr. Jordan. 1t is
months job, and is done by three men
in this instance by Mr.. Whitney, who rep
resents Secretary Manning. and is an old

outgoing treasurer, and Mr. Smith. who sees
that all is right on behalf of tn new treasurer
There are also lahorers who handle the bags.
In all about 100 persons are engaged on the
count.
During Mr. Spinners time there were two
counts to see how 1t was inside the vaults
Once five cents was founl which seemed TO
belong to the venerable treasurer, and he was
so much richer after the money was paid
over TO him. On another occasion as much
as ten cents was found to be wanting, which
was Immediately paid ill., and neither the
old treasurer nor the country suffered a loss,
The cash that has been counted and is yet
to be counted consists of >9OO,OJJ in silver
dollars and Sj,5O0,0OO in gold coin, in all
nearly 800 tons in weight. In additi n there
are about Sl75, 900 0OJ in paper, most of the

was time when each bag was dumped and
each piece of money handled AMI counted.
When the present count began limited NAM
Der of bags were emptied and the coin counted,
but that was suspended and the plan of weigh
ing each bag adopted. The scale for this of
course is exact IN its working the very slight
est variation being detected. The bags are
brought from their resting places in the
vaults by men, who find it no easy work, kept
up for hours together in an atmosphere that
is almost sitting. When they have got
through they can say what few mortals can.

money! AS the bags are placed on the sale

a reporter will be to make a soda water
rise in stocks at the New York Exchange,
but in London and ON the continental courses
it will be just the reverse; vigorous break
will take place in consolS renteS and Russians,
which will drag down AmeriC al and other
securities with them. Lower prices in Lon
don will naturally produce lower prices here
in sympathy during the sh, OK Am RIGA will
soon, however, absorb her good properties at
the reduced prices but leave the poorer ones
for European permanent holding. After
American capitalists have bought up the best
American stocks in the London market at
panic prices, a basis will then be established
for substantial advance ON this side An
Anglo-RusSian war means war to the knife
and will he of long duration, and after its
first shock, as above stated, is over, American
securities will become appreciated largely
over those of all Others, owing to the absolute
certainty that this country cannot possibly
be dragged into the European complications,
