Newport Arrives From Panama

The Pacific Maj liner Newport Cap
tain Russell. arrived early yesterday
morning from Panama and way ports
with - passengers. 764 tons of cargo
and treasure valued at $93, ,23I. The
bulk of the treasure was from the But
ters mines III Salvador.
Those on board the Newport learned
little at Corinto OF the progress of the
revolution. They heard of the death
OF Groce and Cannon. but learned no
particulars All along the coast there
was expressed the hope that Uncle
Sam would make good job of the
Central American house cleaning and
not overlook President Cabrera of Qua
temaIa while he is swinging the big
stick.
The Newport encountered some very
heavy weather the last two days of
the voyage. The storms that have
swept this part of the coast were felt
far to the south and stirred up fear
full swell through which the Newport
wa allowed with the abandon of an ir-
responsible tub.
The Newport's passengers included
Miss II. Van Worst Miss X. Crane
