new tetanus treatment has come into
vogue In New York. Instead Of boring a
small hole in the skull and inserting the anti

Panama, July 92--The sea fight off Panama
between the Columbia. gunboats Chucuito
and Clapet and the insurgent gunboats
Padilla and Darien was quite serious affair.
The Chucuito and the Clapet took up posi-
ton on one side Of Flamineo island. and the
insurgent boats were ten miles distant on the
other side. The fight was opened by a shot
from the Clapet's nine-pound stern chaser
over the island: !. This was replied to by the
Darien and a great deal Of iron fell on the
island and was gathered up by the natives
and sold to the junk man. After the battle
the casualties were found to be as follows:
First, no one Of the ships was hit, but George

finger burned by the premature discharge
Of a cannon cracker. F. x. Y. Bombino y
sandoval Maria had his toe so badly jammed
by dropping nine-pound shot on 1t that he
was obliged to leave the ship and go home.

,feated. though they claim not. Each side

sells, but It is hardly thought here that the
affair will 60 to this extreme.
