HAVE REACHED AGREEMENT I

New York, July 27.-A dispatch to the Herald from Panama says
 "A treaty of peace between the govern ment and the revolutionsts has been signed.
 This action followed directly after the most desperate battle of the entire revolu- ton, in which the losses on each isde were heavy.
 Owing, it is believed, to some misun- derstanding of the terms of the armistice brought about by the American, English and French Consuls, the insurgents sud- denly renewed their attacks upon the sub urbs of Panama. The fighting lasted eleven hours, with the exception of only few minutes interval, and was very heavy from start to finish.
 "The rebel troops made charge after charge upon the trenches of the govern ment forces, pushing forward with remark able bravery and with a recklessness ap- preaching closely to madness.
 Every assault was repulsed with ter- rible loss of life. but the rebels were un- daunted, and with extraordinary courage and renewed vigor repeated the attacks again and again.
 "These desperate assaults were kept up all night long and were met with equally brave resistance by the regulars. In one of the entrenchments defended by detach- ment composed almost entirely of young men from this city, nearly every one of the defenders was killed or badly wounded.
 Forced to Retreat
 Tt was o'clock Thursday morning when the revolutionists were finally compelled to give up their attacks and forced to retreat 10 the positions they held when the armis-- tlce was declared. The tide of battle was turned against them by the arrival of an express train from Colon of 800 fresh troops To reinforce the Government. These gave the regulars the advantage, and the rebels retired after eleven hours of such fierce nght1ng as the isthmus never saw before
 The appearance of the battle-ground after the cessation of hostilities can be bet ter imagined than described. Dead and oylng men were lying all along the Gale donia road, beyond the railroad bridge for nall male sometimes scattered few feet apart, and more often in heaps hacked closely together
 How many were killed during the night is not yet known but the number will reach into the hundreds The exact loss may never be known for many of the wounded men crawled into out of the way thickets and those who died in the bushes may not all be found, being recorded sim ply as missing
 Red Cross Corps
 "As quickly as possible the Red Cross corps aided by the ambulance corps of the British cruiser Leander, began gathering up and attending to the wounded.
 Some of the wounded were taken to the Red Cross hospital, already crowded with patients from the previous battles. Others were carried to the Panama Canal Com pany's hospital where they were cared for by all available surgeons.
 Sailors from the Leander were also sent out to pick up the dead. Carload after cartload of corpses was gathered together and cremated.
 'Dr Carl Hendoza, Secretary General of the revolutionary forces, went to the old station of the Panama Railway under a flag of truce at noon. He met there Gen. eral Alban, Governor of Panama, and dis cussed with him terms of a treaty of peace between the hostile forces.
 Agreement Reached
 "An agreement was reached after a long conference, and the treaty was drawn up and signed by General Alban on behalf of the government, and Dr. Hendoza and Petisario Perras, as representatives of the revolutionistS. Under the terms of the treaty the surrender of the insurgents is complete. They agree to deliver up all arms, ammunition and ships in their pos session.
 "The government grants full amnesty to all the revolutionists and the officers are permitted to retain their swords.
 Foreigners who may have fought under the insurgents ranks are to be allowed to return to their homes.
 "All political prisoners held in Panama have been released.
 Excitement In the city is already grad ually subsiding and there is general rejoic- ing that the fighting has ended without the threa tened bombardment of Panama"
