A dispatch to I the Herald from Panama says: I A treaty of peace between the govern- ment and the revolutionists has been Commission Has Decided to Send Na signed. This action followed directly j tlve-s to American Colleges, after the most desperate battle of the j entire revolution. In w hich the losses I EERKELEY, Cat, July 27. The Phll- on each side were very heavy. Owing, it Is believed, to some misunderstand ing of the terms cf the armistice brought about by the American.

These des perate assaults were kept up all night long, and were met with equally brave resistance by the regulars. In one of the intrenchments defended by a de tachment composed almost entirely of young men from this city, nearly every one of the defenders was killed or badly wounded. It was t o'clock Thursday morning when the revolutionists were finally compelled to give up their attacks, and forced to retreat to the positions they held when the armistice was declared. The tide of battle was turned against them by the arrival on an express train from Colon of 800 fresh troops to rein force th-; government. These gave the regulars the advantage and the rebels retired Rfter eleven hours of such fierce fighting as the Isthmus ny-er saw be fore. The appearance of the battleground after the cessation of hostilities can bettor be Imagined than .. described. LM&PEKRINS' THE ORIGINAL WORCESTERSHIRE Beware of Imitations V.

This In Itself indicates the extreme care with which the railroad I officials are proceeding In the matter.

The Island of Culm Is the haven of My which they have in view, nml Indiuvnu uts for them to go there are not wauling. The amount of Spanish money which I lit circulation In Chinatown Is proof of ihe succens of the Chinamen who have re cently returned from the Island.
