OF the contendng forces and arranged for
an armistice OF twenty-four hours and the
surrender in the mean time of the revolu-
tionary forces on terms satisfactory to
both parties. However, within four or
five hours from the commencement of
the armistice the terms were broken and
fighting continued all Wednesday night.
The next day the revolutionary forces
surrendered and quiet was restored.
Mr.. Gudger states that the slaughter
during these days has been great He
passed over the battlefield on Wednesday
and saw dead in heaps all along the road
size and many were reported in the bush
where he could not see them. 1t has been
estimated that more than so per cent of
the revolutionary forces were either
killed or wounded From what Mr. Gud-
ger saw he had no doubt that this esti-
mate is approximately correct. When one
considers that the fight was brother
against brother father against son, he
can have some idea Of what it was. No
one, however, who has not experience in
this line can estimate properly what
those in Panama have gone through dur
ing these troublesome days.
Mr.. Gudger was glad to report that
general amnesty has been given to all
revolutionists and that order is being
rapidly restored. After the fight at
Corozal Generals Losado and Guerrero
deserted the city and took refuge on the
English ship. One matter, however, is
painful and that is the disposition of the
dead. few of whom were cared for by
friends in the city. some taken care of
by the revolutionists. But the majority
were cremated on the battlefield

MYSTERY IN THE HAMLET CASE
Disposition of the Charges stiIi an
OEciaI Secret.

OGciaI Secret.
Early in July charges were filed in the
Postofhce Department against George B.
Hamlet. of Maryland. postoftice inspec-
tor. with Headquarters in Baltimore. The
charges were in substance that Hamlet
had without authority, obtained transport
tation for a m.mber or members Of firm
OF builders engaged in the erection of a
house for Hamlet in Prince George Coun-
tv Nd. The charges were investigated
with the result that a statement was
given out to the effect that Hamlet had
been dismissed. the dismissal to take eff
feet the LIST of August.
But Hamlet. who was chief postoffice
inspector under ex-Postmaster General
Gary and afterward reduced to field in
spector. it seems. had strong political
backing in the person of Representative
Mudd of Maryland and instead Of being
removed from the public service on August
I he secured a stay of proceedings. In
other words. was granted additional time
in which to make another statement He
has made his additional statement, which,
IL is said, does not disprove the original
charge.
mn it now appears that Hamlet is still
in the service, dlthuuSH hV''i III NSSiot"H'
Postmaster General Bristow will not deny
or affirm that this is fact. The latter
politely but positively refused to discuss
the case. He says he may give out state
ment when Postmaster General Smith re-
turns, but until then he can say nothing
II is really a remarkable case, as none
OF the officials of the Postofiice Department
reems TO know whether or not Hamlet is
still in the service Hamlet. it is said, is
very useful to the Republicans in the
Fourth Maryland Congressional district.
and this may explain why the case has
been hung up.
