PLucKY SAN SALVADOR.
An American Vessel In Duress Un-
der Threat of Confiscation.

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE Herald's
San Salvador cable says the general agent of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
yesterday inquired of the Sa,vadorean min
lister Of commerce the cause of the recent
seizure of the steamer City Of Panama, to
which the latter replied that the vessel had
left La Union without the requite permit
from the authorities of the port. This led to
the suing of the steamer and in consequence
she has been declared confisc ated. The min
lister said that the government was car
rying out In this matter the same doctrines
Wau9 sSe ~ eSa States have applied IN
rebel squadron. The City Of Panama still
remains at La Libertad under government
orders not to leave until the matter Is settled.
The order is accompanied by a threat, in
which the government declares that II its or
ders are disregarded the vessel will be forci-
bly, seized. The captain Of the steamer
could easily sail away with his vessel IL he
chose, but an utter disregard Of the govern
ment order would imperil the company,s
emala and Nicaragua.
