as the forecasted defeat of the Arosmena party at the national election on July II IS agreed. It is believed the govern ment will strongly resist being dispos- sessed.
 Later advices to the state department stated that the Americans were wounded in an attack by the Panama police, prob ably caused by the latter's over-zealous- ness and that while accounts of the af- fray are confused. there is no evidence indicating that men committed any act warranting the use of firearms by tn. police. It is the inflexible rule of the commanders of American soldiers and sailors who are given shore leave, or liberty in Latin-American ports, to deny them the right to carry any weapons, SO that in an affray they rely entirely upon their fists for protection.
 Panama, July 1.-The report of seri- ous brawl between the Panama polio. and number of United States marines while the Americans were celebrating the Fourth of July last night is confirmed

 York Dies Suddenly at Hotel

New York, July 5.-George R. Malby, congressman from the Twenty-sixth congressional district of New York state, was found dead tonight in a room which he engaged last night at Murray Hill hotel. According to the scoroner's physician, death was due to heart trouble and hardening of the arteries

AMERICAN SOLDIERS HAVE
 FIGHT WITH PANAMA POLICE

Washington, July Maj. Smedley D.. Butler, commanding the marines at Camp Elliott, Panama City. has reported that eight soldiers of the Tenth infantry. two marines and one civilian were seriously wounded yesterday in a fight with Pan anna citizens. He reports two of the in- fantrynlen will die.
 Major General Wood. chief of staff, has sent a telegram to the commander of the Tenth infantry requesting full re- port on the incident immediately.
 Officials suspect that what was at first believed to be nothing more than the ordinary brawls peculiar to the segre- gated district in Panama may actually enlarge into serious foundation. They fear it may be connected with the po- htical situation there. Adherents of the Porras cause have all along insisted tha. the Panama police were bitterly hostile to all Americans and resentful of the presence of American commossioners at the recent election to insure fair deal- tngs.
 It has been alleged that American sail ors have uniformly been treated with the greatest harshness by the police when they dropped out of ship Officers care. Two or three years ago several were mur= dered while other officers were injured by the police for which the Panama gov ernnent was obliged to pay a round in dennity.
 With reports now due from the Ameri- can legation at Panama and the com mandinx officer of marines, officials hers at the state department expect to be in possession of all the racts required for their guidance within day or two.
 The elections just concluded in Panama though purely municipal in nature have resuIted in a demonstration of such over whalming support of the Porras candidacy
