 Last Night and Transacted Business.


 The board of warden and burgesses held an adjourned meeting last eyen- ing in the assessors room ill the town hall building. The members of the board present were Burgesses Rams low, Freeman, Smith, Westbrook, Mills and Kenney. In absence of War den Schaffer Senior Burgess Smith presided. The first matter to require the attention of the board was in re- lation to fhe electric light on Lewis street, which was ordered changed from its present situation to a place near the residence of Mir Sullivan on Lewis street. The petitioners for the light were present last evening. Bur gess Mills stated that he had talked the matter over with MT Phillips of the Electric Light Go and his opinion was that as the borough had no money with which to put another arc light on that street he thought that by put ting an incandescent lamp at each place it would settle the difficulty. BurgesseS RanSlow and Westbrook stated that they looked over the ground and their opinion was that the light was all right where it is. On motion of uBrgess Mills the board voted to rescind the vote taken at the last meet ing ordering the light changed, and then passed the following vote: ''Voted, That the Electric Light Go discontinue the arc light on Scott street and sub- stitute two fifty-candle incandescent lamps, one to be placed where the arc light now is and the other near the residences of AIessrs Burke and Sulli- van" George F. Lilley presented r11a fo, 4o Iao s,, his new block. The board voted to ap- prove the plans.

THE EPANAMA BATTLE.
Exchange of Prisoners Re-
 sponsible For Disaster.
ALBAN'S SUCCESSOR IS APPOINTED.
Capture of Panama by Revolutions ists COnsidered Impossible Be- cause of the Large Govern
 ment Force There.

PANAMA. Colombia, Jan 22.-The exchange of prisoners was responsible for Mondays disaster to the govern ment From the former the revolution ists heard of the plans of the govern ment. The Lautaro had no steam when she was attacked by the Padilla. This was due to her circulating water pump being out of order.
 The Padilla, which had been painted white recently so as to deceive the government officers as to her identity, advanced unrecognized to spot about 300 meters from tine Lautaro She then began firing at the Lautaro. The posi- ton of the latter prevented her from using her two big guns mounted for ward but she returned the Padilla'S fire with her small after guns. Her gunner, however, was the first man killed, and the foreign crew of the Lautaro refused to obey orders.
 General Alban, who displayed daring courage, was shot on the steamers deck.
 The death of General Alban is an irreparable loss not only to the isth- mus, but to the entire republic of CO lombia. In the field he was an active and fearless foe. In victory he was nagnaninous almost to a fault. This is the tribute paid the late Colombian general by the press of the isthmus. He was a man whose praises were sung even by his enemies.
 The surgeon and hospital corps of the United States cruiser Philadelphia, at Panama, were busy Monday render ing medical aid to the men wounded i'll the engagement. The Philadelphia is the only man-of-war at the isthmus.
 The Colombian government is mak- ing every possible preparation both here and at Panama to repulse the land attack by the insurgents, which is momentarily expected. There are nearly ,000 government troops at Pan l anna, under the command of General Garcia.
 ] General Garcia, veteran officer, has been appointed military commander of ] the district in succession to General l Alban Senor Arjona is the civil gov ernor.
 l The capture of Panama by the revo- lutionists is considered impossible ow- i ing to the number of government troops here.
 The reyolutionists are reported to be at Los Llanos, eight miles from Pana- ma.
 A spy sent by the revolutionary gen eral Belisario Porras was captured here Monday. Papers were found up- on him which compromise certain in- l portant Liberals.
 The government has issued decree conferring honors upon General Car l los Alban, who was killed in Mondays ! fighting in the bay.
