HERRERA ISSUES NOTE.
Says the Liberals Will Wage War to
 the Bitter End.

Panama, Feb. S.-Generl Herrera has address d note to the American. French. British and German Consuls here. Tn 1t. General Herrera claimed. among other things that the Government of Sepor Marroquin, the President of Colombia. was not lawful and that. therefore. the rebels, although deploring the bloody rc- suits of the war. would fight to the end for the ultimate success of the liberal principles.
 General Herrera proposes that the Con- suls addf essed ask their respective Gov- e, rments to declare the line of the Pan- anna Colombia railroad to be neutral ground. on which the Government should not build entrenchments or the Liberals attack, and that only police force be left to guard the line.
 General Herrera said he proposed, if possible. to compel the Government to attack the L Lberal forces. and the Lb. erals had strong fleet and army. pro- vided with cannon, etc. General Herrera also declared in his note that the Lib- erals considered the capture of Panama and Colon to be absolutely necessary for the development of their military plans; that they would act to obtain such re. suits and that in due time they would notify Consuls of such proposed action. allowing twenty-four hours for foreign CTS tO tdhe TeIuEe Ut d plhCS oA edtStys to be agreed upon with the Consuis, and that the point so selected would not be fired upon.
 In Government circles here 1t is be lieved that General Herrera wants to gain time, for the Government cannot accept the terms he offered. When the expected achievements arrive on the isthmus from Puerto Colombia. the Gov. ernment will begin an energetic and &C., tive campaign against the Liberals. Pan- anna and Colon are now garrisoned by 2,000 men. General Castro has 1,50o vete> rans under his command. giving a total of $500. The most sanguine Liberals do not claim that General Herrera has over l50O men.
 Governor Oranja said at the conference of the Consuls, that the Consuis could not correspond with the Liberals that even If they were belligerents, the Con- suls would have to have the permission of the Colombian Government to commu- nicate with them. General Arjona then demanded that the Consuls send their an- swers to General Herrera to him, prom ising to forward them to the Liberal General by messenger. To this the Con- suls agreed.
