Fortifying at Panama.

Breastworks are being erected in
the public thoroughfareS of Panama.
The townsfolk in the vicinity of these
are hastily removing to safer places.
All persons known to be Liberals are
arrested on sight. The government
has declared it's intention to contest
every inch of ground if an entrance
to the city is effected. 1t is reported
that some 70 who were wounded were
landed on the island of Taboga, facing
Panama harbor, to avoid creating
alarm in Panama. Taboga is about
eight miles from Panama The gov
eminent is very anxious that marines
should be landed from the United
States battleship Iowa, but Captain
Perry, her commander, has not COM
piled with this request.
The Boyaca has returned to Panama
q second time with General Alban and
q few men The government claims
to have effected landing at ChOrrera,
routing the enemy, recovering all the
prisoners previously reported taken
with the exception of two. Among the
number recovered, according to the
government version, is the alcalde OF
Taboga.
The Liberal version of the incident
Is that the alcalde was afraid to fight
and when captured offered Domingo
Diaz, the Liberal leader, $1,000 if he
would release him, that the offer was
accepted and that the alcalde was al
lowed to go after giving his word OF
honor not to attempt to escape. The
Liberals also assert that General Al
ban effected a landing at Chorrera
after the Liberals had withdrawn to
join the Liberal forces marching to
the Empire station.

Holland almost all the vegetable and

dogs; the same animals carry the

He has long been necessity upon
the farm. Ia addition to being q pro-

capacities which render his services
invaluable. On hearing n word from
his master he will bound off into the
pasture and drive the COWS TO the

pulls the latch string at a big gate,
which is arranged to spring open, and
