appeal was made to the governor and
the soldiers were promptly organized
into police patrol and scattered about
the city. They acted as such until a
compromise was reached and the blue
coats again resumed their saunterings.

PANAMA CLIMATE.
The climate of Panama is not espe-
cially healthful, but it is not so bad
as it's reputation would lead one to be-

There is a constant stream of travel
through Panama en- route to the west
coast of South America, between South
America and the United States and
Europe. Several lines of steamers
handle this traffic and the register of

There is more drinking in Panama
among those who have the price than
in any place on the two continents, and
the newcomer who attempts to keep the
pace with the seasoned veterans will
rue the day. The Panama man will
tell you that more men have died from
too much drinking in Panama than
ever died of the fever, and from what
one sees this is not difficult to be-
lieye.
