n, 1871, Morgan and his men depart
ed, carrying with them 175 pack ami
mails laden with spoils, and 600 pris-
oners devoted TO slavery or death in
default of ransom. The Spanlards had
looked forward to the departure of the
pirates as some alienation OF their
misery, thinking they might at least
die unmolested upon the ruins of their
homes. When they learned that even
that poor consolation was denied them,
wall of agony arose, so piercing, so
heartbroken, that even the pirates were
moved 10 a semblanee Of pity; all but
their leader.
The pirates marched away, dragging
the wretched Spaniards with them. A
Cruces number of the captives were
ransomed the remainder were taken
to Portobello, where all ransom was
refused Many of the unfortunates es-
capped eventually, for trouble broke out
among their captors and Morgan, with
his English supporters, stole away with
the greater part of the booty and set

the State of Texas and the rebellious

The history of Panama is one long
record # conquests and revolutions.
In 1917 the Spaniards went in search
of Panama, which they had heard the
Indians mention frequently. They ex-
pected to see city of gorgeous pal
aces, with roofs and pillars of solid
gold. They found little fishing vii
lage, a cluster of palm-thatched huts
under the tropical sky, on the broad,
white beach of the Pacific. They
learned then that Panama, in the In
dian language, signifies place where
many fish are taken.' But the dusky
hosts had strings of fine pearls, and in

life of buecaueer. He had run away
from home in his youth and, shipping
under a cruel master, had been sold
into slavery in foreign port. When
he reganed liberty rage and bitter
ness filed his heart and revenge was
the animus which led to his becoming
tile captain of pirate fleet Finally,
emboldened by the unbroken success
of the daring forays which had rem
dered his name the terror of the Span
ish coast. the British buccaneer deter
mined to descend upon the strong city
of Panama and put 1t to sack and
ransom. Twelve hundred men, Eli
glish, French and Dutch, agreed to
follow him, and he led them across the
isthmus.
On the ninth day of their weary
march the freebooters, from the lofty
height which is still known as El
Cerro de los Buccaneers, they deserted
the shining steeples of Panama and
the wide eXpanse of the Pacific. The
gaunt crew, who during the march

had fed on leather in the absence Of
embraced one another and finally lay
down to sleep While they slept, the
people of Panama were in a panic
The churches We're filled with women
and children, who, huddled close to the
altars and sacred images, wept and
prayed; while through the liyelong
night the tramp of feet, the rattle and
clang of arms and armor, resounded
mingled with the neghing of horses
and the believing of the wild oxen
which We're to be used against the en-
envy on the morrow. All too soon the
day dawned upon the city. The pi-
rates rose refreshed and, forming
themselves into companies, advanced
upon the town, sworn neither TO give
nor receive quarter. The Spanish
forces, consisting of 400 horse, 2,400
foot and 1000 wild oxen, advanced to
meet them. The oxen proved unruly
and did more injury to their allies
than to the enemy; the plain upon
which they mnneuvered was soft and
full of holes, which crippled the move
ments of the cavalry; in short, the bat
tie lasted but two hours, when the
Spaniards fed and Morgan led his
men through the gates OF Panama.
Then indeed 1t was woe to the van
quished Men and women were re-
morselessly tortured to force them to
reveal the whereabouts of their and
their neighbors' treasure. Even ten
der children We're not spared. Late in
the afternoon of that dreadful day Il
fire broke out, and despite every eff
fort TO stay it the city was consumed.
The pirates forced their wretched pris-
oners into the smouldering ruins to res
cue the precious metals they might
contain, driving them back IL they
came forth empty handed, and greet
ing with ribald jeers and laughter the
anguished cries of the scorched and
manned wretehes.
For four weeks the buccaneers re
mained encamped around what had

sail In the dead of night, leaving his
Dutch and French companies to con-
sole one another.
Great was the wrath of Spain at the
tragedy of Panama. 1t was ordered
that the city be rebuilt Immediately
and so strongly fortified as 10 be inn
pregnable. The site chosen was a lit
tie peninsula at the base Of the hill OF
Ancon, about two leagues from the old
city. Its walls were of massive gran
tie, from twenty to forty feet high and
over ten feet thick. Upon them strong
ly fortified watch-towers were place d
at intervals of 200 or 300 feet The
city was divided from the mainland hy
deep moat, and entrance was gained
through three massive gates. So great
was the cost of these magnificent for
titicationS that the Spanish council,
when called upon to audit the accounts,
grimly inquired whether the new city
of Panama was girt by walls of silver
or gold
SO through the shifting fortunes of
two centuries the new city of Panama
has lived and thrived.

The city Of Panama is the capital of
