LYING IN WAIT.
Rebel Gunboat Padilla More than a
Match for the Marmaduke.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-Oficers Of
the steamer Acapulco. which has arrived
here from southern ports, say they saw
the Colombian revolutionist gunboat
Padilla at point about twenty miles be-
low Punta Arenas. Costa Rica, hove to,
and apparently lying in wait for the
steamer Poas, which was some time ago
purchased from Costa Ricans by the
Colombian government for use as a war
ship. The Poas is reported to be vessel
o; about 100 tons register, but is not
armed. She was expected to go TO Pana-
ma to be furnished with quick-firing guns.
Like the officers of the City of Sydney,
which arrived here a week ago, the Off
GERS of the Acapulco have a high opinion
of the gunboat Padilla and express the
opinion that she is more than a match for
the government gunboat now on the way
to Panama from this port.

This eagerness with which the prospective

warm interest taken in the casual woman

of the decree that there shall be more re-

whole ninety and nine that have been good
all the time and are already safe.
