els were steadily advancing on the

owing to the bungling attempts to
mount heavy guns on board her. The

citing for the purchase of the West
Indian and Pacific company's steamer

sui at Colon has entered a protest
against Jamaicans being compelled
by the Colombian government to fight
against the rebels. The passengers of

success seem better than ever since

eminent force and one Of the latter
was afterwards found shot IN the alb
