the box and then at the color of

the color she likes best-it's usually

the perfume happens to please her,

and the box, she says without more

REBEL FLEET GAINS A DECIDED VIC
TORY.
GENERAL ALBAN KILLED AND ONE OF HIS
STEAMERS SET ON FIRE AND SUNK.

Panama. Jan. 20.-A naval battle. which be-
gan at o'clock this morning took place in the
harbor of Panama. The revolutionary fleet
sisted of the steamers PadiIla. Darien and
Gaitan. They tried to force landing off Sa-
bana. The government ships the Chilian
Line steamer Lautaro (seized by General AL
ban) and the Pacific Steam Navigation Com
pany's steamer Chicuito chartered by General
Alban). The result disastrous to the gov
ernment fleet. General Aban killed and the
Lautaro was set fire and sunk, many being
killed on board of her. The rebel steamer Dari-
en- is reported in sinking condition. 1t is said
that the crew of the Lautaro rebelled.
The revolutionary gunboat Padilla surprised
the Lautaro at the opening of the fight this
morning, and began shooting at close range.
Many men on board the Lautaro killed.
The vessel was fire.
The revolutionary gunboat Darien later
seen approaching the United States cruiser
Philadelphia in the harbor, probably for the
purpose Of a conference. The firing then ceased.
The crew of the Philadelphia assisted to put out
the fire on board the Lautaro. 1t was rumored
here on shore that the firing of the Lautaro was
a result of treason.
The government gunboat Boyaca moored to
the dock here after the fight. She brings troops
from Chriqui. She reports that the revolution
ary steamers Padilla, Darien and Gaitan drew
off when they became aware of her presence.
The Boyaca took part in the engagement.
The slow movements of the Padila led to the
belief that she damaged
General Carlos Alban, who killed, the
military commander of this district and the
Governor of Panama. His death is deeply de-
plored for General Alban was loved by his SOL
ders and enjoyed the esteem of the community
1t is asserted that the death of the Colom-
bian leader may have the effect of bringing to
the government side large numbers Of men anx-
ious to avenge his loss
Some of the men killed board the Lautaro
have been brought ashore, where they are being
buried
The Lautaro recently arrived at Panama from
the island of Naos.
The guns at Las Bovedas also fired at the
rebel ships.
The government forces are throwing up in
trenchments.
The United States cruiser Philadelphia was
close to the scene Of the fighting.

GERMANS EXPECT SOMETHING BIG
MUCH SPECULATION REGARDING THE TRIP
OF BALI.IN AND WIEGAND.

Berlin. Jan. 20.-An official statement issued
by the Hamburg American Line sets forth that
Herr Ballin, a director of the line and Dr.
Wiegand Of the North German Lloyd Steamship
Company will proceed to New-York, there to
continue the conferences begun in Cologne and
London for the regulation of North Atlantic
traffic.
The impression prevails among the officials Of
the German steamship lines that something very
big in the steamship world is about to happen.
They seem. however. to know as little of what
this may be as do outsiders.
When questioned concerning the possible
amalgamaton of German steamship lines with
American and British lines, Herren Ballin and
Wiegand have clearly and positively said the
pending negotiations did not remotely contem-
Mate any merging of the German lines with for
eign lines in the sense that German stockhold-
ers would surrender their control.
The talk for months past of American in
vasion and the absorption of German lines by
the Morgan corporation has made German
shareholders suspicious and curious about the
conferences to be held in NewYork, so that
Herren Ballin and Wiegand, while keeping their
own counsel as to the particular objects they
have in view, have nevertheless assured the
German shareholders that the autonomy of the
German steamship companies will be preserved

quently be modified Gable dispatches the

changed.

ter TO the launching. in which he would
naturally attend the dinners given at that city
by Prince Henry and the Mayor of New-York.

Henry would journey to Washington together.
