ANOTHER FIGHT EMMINETN

Proceedings.

Colon, Nov. 26.-Yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock the schooner Clapet and
a railroad barge returned to Panama

several hundred men, Gen. Alban left
Panama by train for Empire station

pose is to surprise and rout them.
The train bearing the troops was held
up just before it arrived at Colobra
station, owing to the liberals opening
fire on Adams advance guard. AL
ban disembarked his men from the
train which returned to Panama. The
fighting at Culebra lasted from 4:40
until p. NJ.
The government troops advanced
and fought stubbornly all along the
railroad line until the station was
reached. The liberals retreated slow
Iy, Adams men following them until
the latter reached Matachin station.
Here Alban met and conferred with
Captain Perry of the Iowa, who was
returning from Colon on an armored
train.
1t is understood Perry will not al
low the railroad to transport troops,
consequently Alban was forced to
push ahead on foot. Between Guile
bra and Empire over $50 killed and
wounded men could be seen along the
track. No proper Red Cross organi-
cation exists and the wounded lack
care. The liberals at Colon declare a
majority of the men killed on the line
were conservative troops.

very heavy losses on both sides.
