 Consequently MT. Powell secured a guard of sixty men from the United States cruiser Colombia and informed the government that 1t was the intention of the German consul and himself to bring Herr Wormans family into the city, and asked the government that its troops not fire upon this party, while it was on it's mission. He said that if fired upon they would protect themselves. As soon as the guard passed outside the city they were covered by the guns of the Co., lombia. No attack was made and the Norman family and their belongings were brought back here in safety.
 All the houses outside the city walls have been pillaged. The insurgents are desperate and are destroying foreign porperty wherever they find it. Mir Powell has received urgent appeals to protect foreign property against this pill Rging and the Colombia may be com pelled to land marines to do so.
 The firing around the city continues. The, situation is serious. the prices of provisions are very high and the poor are suffering from want of food.
