PANAMA, April 2s, via Galveston.-Cambil Cam
bina, messenger of the Diplomatic Corp, of Bogota.
arrived at Panama this morning with the National
troops who consist chiefly of volunteers from Cauca
under command of Montoya, who has sent Azpuru
notice to leave the city in forty hours. Aiz-
puru now says hs will fight II he does not evacu-
ate the city the National troops will try to dslodge
him, and, unless the United States troops interfere,
the city will stand poor chance. IL Aizpuru re-
mains in the city the strug le will be indefinitely
prolonged.
There is no doubt in the public mind here but that
the safety of the city is due TO the prompt action of
Commander McCalla in taking charge of the place
at time when formidable barricades were being
erected, and preparations OH large scale were go
ing on to resist the National troops when.they ar
rived. Becauseof these preparations no doubt exists
but that immense loss of life and property would
have taken PLACE The moral effect OF the ece sb gpa
has been heard i'll the city since they withdrew, but
order and legitimate authority have not yet been
reestablished and any further withdrawal at pres
ent would be fatal mistake, the consequences or
which are not calcuable.

MEETING OF CONsULs.
PANAMA, April %, via Galveston.-The detach-
ments of marines from the United States steamers
Tennessee, Galena, Alliance and Swatara returned
to their respective ships at Colon yesterday.
Two Hotchkiss guns and one Calling battery are
encamped with the troops just outside the
city, They all await the attempt of tho
National forces to land at the Pacific
Mail Company's pier Their landing at
that pier will be resisted. There was strong
guard at the pier last night. Two companies guard
the railway approach at night and Gordon OF
twenty sentinels guard the terminus at the Pacific
Mail dock. The National troops are within two
days march of Carthagena and news of an attack
upon that city may be expected any day.
Upon entering Panama on April "a Commander
McCalla issued a small Ay-sheet in the
French, Spanish and English languages,
giving his reasons for entering the city.
He directed that all the bars and drinking places
be cesed and stated that no armed ferce would be
allowed to enter the city, and that the United
States forces would do police duty. Tho

over to General Aizpnru upon ms signing
treaty that no sgtnS 5a5rSadesb sbonS T9ud take

alists will undoubtedly try to dislodge him, and
unless the United States forces interfere the city
will stand poor chance: If ,Aizpuru remains IN
the city the matter will be indefinitely prolonged.
The French Consul, Armando, published letter
to-day denying that he has telegraphed to ms
C;oyenment protesting against the action of the
American forces on the lsthmus.
Al O'clock this afternoon the various Consuls
held q meeting with Aizpuru, who undertook TO
give up the city to the Government troops upon
their arrival but yet be shows signs of carrying
out this undertaking. The rebels still occnpy the

fuses to vacate the city, he can only be,dislodged
by an attack by the Government troops.
