COLOMBIA. Moleuchely Suicide by Drowning—Failure of Gold Hunters—Trouble Expected in Magda- jena—The Cuban Flag—Extensive Robbery en Shipboard—Adairs in the Interior. PANAMA, August 25, 1969, ‘The steamer Alaska, from New York, arrived at Aspinwall on the afternoun of the 19th inet, Her passengers left Panama for San Erancisco on the afternoon of the 20th, on the steamer Colorado, The Alaska will reach New York probably two days be- hind time, being detained since the 23d awaiting the arrival of the steamer Sacramento from San Fran- cisco, Which only reached Panama yesterday after- noon, too late to send the passengers to Aspinwall that day. Just before reaching San José a passen- ger named Frank Ward jumpea overboard about four o'clock in the afternoon and was drowned. The unfortunate man was well known in San Francisco and New York, and was a Cali- fornia forty-niner, at which period I recollect him well as one of the leading men of San Francisco, He was formerly of the frm of Ward & Smith, and, 1 beiteve, was. ason of Mr, Ward, of Prime, Ward & King, bankera, of New York. Some years ago he attempted to b'ow his brains out with a pistoi, but recovered, witu the loss of an eye, He was a secoud cabin passenger, but, owing to his former high standing, Was admitted into the first cabin, where he lived ireely and ran up 80 heavy a wine bill that the storekeeper presenied it to him alter leaving Acapulco, and which, being unable to pay, mortified im go that he settled the account by drowning him- self, Ward was a son-in-law of Wililam B. Astor, of Rew York. 1p bis day he was one of the wealthiest, ost liberal and fastest men in San Francisco. He aranabous mifty-turee years ol age at the time of his Another Cocos Island gold-hunting expedition has returned unsuccessful. The Hawaiin schooner Eme- lune, which left here some time since im quest of the treasure, turned up yesterday minus the gold. We are now awaiting the result of the Costa Rica expe- arracie which will, probably, set the affair forever at res News having been received here of a contemplated revolution in the State of Magdalena, eighty of the National troop were yesterday shipped from Panama via Agpinwall on the Royal West india steamer for Santa Martha. Senor Valiente, a Cuban Commissioner to South America, arrived here recently and displayed the Nag of the Cuban republic from the balcony of the Grand Hotel. ‘there are several Cuban patriots in town at present, and some of them go to New York on the present steamer to push their cause in the United states. They are the same reported in my Jast as having leit Cuba in asmall boat, who were picked up at sca and taken to Kingston, Jamaica, whence they found their way to Panama by steamer. A aaring robbery was cominitted on the steamer Guatemala on her last trip from Panama to Central America. A Jarge quantity of specie from England ‘Was shipped by that vessel for Guatemala, among which was a box containing about $13,000 in Eng- iign sovereigns. There being no strong room on board the specie was stowed away in one of the Biaierooms, as is customary. Two days after leaving Panama it Was noticed that some of the slats on the staieroom door had been removed, and on examina- tion it turned out that the box of gold was missing, 4 further search discovered about o,000 of the lost treasure stowed away in some part of the engine room, but ho further clue has yet been had to the remainder. The assistant engineer aud second omcer have been arrested and are now undergoing examination before the authorities of this y, but it is scarcely likely tt suMicient evidence Will be adduced to prove them guilty, Dates from Bogota are to the 29th of July. Pollti- cal excitement pending the Presidential election runs bigh, aud trouble is anticly before the ections are over. Inthe State of Magdalena dif- ficulty between the government and State had alveady commences, and 8 number of the national troops stationed in Panama have been sent to Santa Martha on that account. An itaiian named Nicholas Doruado was brutally murdered in Cali, State of Cauca, on the 1st inst., by a mob of natives. No arrests were made, though the murder was committed in broad day in the public square, and the murderers are known to the authorities, Since my last the weather has changed, and we have had several goiid tropical showers, which have tended to cool the atmosphere cousiderably, and which will undoubted.y be attenaed with satisfac- tory sanitary results, While business has been quite stagnant we have not been wanting in festivities. SALVADOR. Anniversary CelebrationsImporte aud Ex- ports, ‘The flestas commenced in San Salvador on the 27th duly and were very largely attended by people from all parts of the country. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. During the three months ending June 80 the im- ports irom the ports of La Union, La Libertad and Acajuua have been $1,005,897 and the exports $510,008, showing, difference of $486,899 in favor of imports; but this includes $266,124 in com imported from Europe. The returns for the nine months of the fiscal year ending June 30 show a difference of $1,251,052" in favor of exporte, GUATEMALA. Defeat of the Insurgent Chief Cruz—Commer- cial News. On the 6th of July Serapio Cruz, the leader of the insurgents, again attempted an invasion of Guate- mais, having organized forces on the frontier after his defeat Jast May. The government had sent out forces to pursue Cruz, who, at last accounts, was retreating over the froutier to the neighboring State of Chiapas. The official returns of the exports of Guatemala for 1865 have been published. They show an increase ever 1867 of $275,196, and amonnt to upwards of $2,000,000—a very respectable showing for that State. PERU. Independence of Cuban Recognized by Peru, PANAMA, August 25, 1869, ‘The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer Panama, from Valparaiso dd August, and Callao 14th, arrived in this harbor-on the 20th inst. Her cargo for New York consists of eighty-one bales goat skins, 145 ceroons bark and four packages sundries. In addition to your regular correspondence from Callao I find a decree, issued just prior to the sailing of tne steamer, by President Balta, recognizing the independence of Guba, which I translate below:— DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
