mander of that district and the COVER
nor of Panama, was killed during the
fighting.
The revolutionary feet consisted of
the steamers Padilla, Darien and Gaitan.
They sought to force a landing off
Saoana. The government ships we're
the CHILEAN line steamer Lautaro, the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company's
steamer Chicuito and the Panama Canal
Company's steamer Doyaca.
Many Of the men on board the govern
ment ship Lautaro were killed.
The slow movements of the Padilla,
which were noticeable from the shore,
lead to the belief that she has been dam
aged.
The U. S. cruiser Philadelphia was
close to the scene Of action, but main
tanned a neutral attitude. She will pre-
vent bombsrdment Of Panama. The
rebel vessels vanished on the arrival of
government warships.

A Peace Agreement Possible.

Beers here have practically decided to
waive the question of independence In
their endeaVor to secure peace to south
Africa, gEest gloom has pervaded their

The promise OF Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain, 10 the House OF Com
mous last night. that there would be NO
con6scation of Boer property, that
amnesty would be extended and politi-
cal rights restored, seems to reduce the
question to a point where an agree
ment is possible. The one stumbling
block is General De Wet and other

for independence. The Beers here
admit that but for them peace would
be only q matter OF negotiation.
