fighting with the bravest.
Every possible effort has been made !
by the foreign Consuls here to pre-
vent disastrous conflict in the streets |
of the city, but they have not been sue
cessful.
General Herrera, commander in chief
of the revolutionists, is still at Corozal,
but IL is believed he will soon join his
forces now in action. If he does so, the
attacks will undoubtedly be more Wig
orous. and the fighting more general,
with disastrous results to the city prop
er.
Panama's streets are almost deserted.
Stray bullets are constantly dropping
in the streets, and several persons have
been struck by them.
Railroad traffic has been interrupt
ed. This mornings train from Colon
bringing passengers for New York, had
great difficulty in passing under the
bridge on account of the risk from bull
lets and shells. Passengers had to lie
fiat on the car floors TO avoid the bull
lets.
The Pacific Steam Navigation Com
panys steamer Guatemala, which ar
rived this morning with several pas
sengerS for New York, and the French
steamer was unable to make a landing
because of the firing in the neighbor-
hood of the wharf at the old station of
the Panama Railroad.
Today's fighting followed an indecis-
i've battle which lasted most of yester-
day afternoon at La Boca, between the
regulars and rebels, who were landed
/ from warships in possession of the rev.
/ olutionists.
/ The fighting was hard, but both sides
/ maintained their positions last night.
/ The rebels held several points on the

cept the Federal troops coming from
| Colon, numbering $50, under General
Sarria.
All business places in Panama are
closed up. Provisions and other neces-
saries of life are growing scarcer and
are hard to get at high prices.
| Public excitement is intense. Many
families residing in unprotected locali-
ties have taken refuge in the Grand
Central Hotel for safety in case of an
outbreak of trouble in the city.
At the request of the foreign Consuls
all foreigners here have placed their ma
tional flags over their business houses
and dwellings. The resulting display OF
bunting gives the city a gay appear
ance. The Government has issued q
decree calling to arms all Colombian
citizens between the ages of eighteen
and sixty years. All public employees
not complying with the decree will be
heavily fined.
No American war vessel is at Pana-
ma or Colon.
1t is impossible to foretell what will
be the outcome of the present fighting
or the end of the struggle. Reinforce
ments expected by the Government
have not yet arrived.
The gunboat Boyaca is supposed to be
still outside of Buena Ventura.
