After they had been made prisoners and while on their way to the gunboat General Pinzen fired | many shots at Porto Bello. On arriving on board the gunboat Murphy learned that no Joss than fifty shots had been fired at Porto Bello. He also says that from the gunboat | one or two of tho largest houses of the place could be plainly seen to have been wrecked. Mondey, when General Pinzon went ashore, he wald the town was evacuated. Not @ single liberal was to be seen, all having fled when the gunboat arrived. Mur- phy said explosive bullets were used by the liberals, as one bullet brought on board General Pinzon was subsequently exploded while Murphy was handing it over to the officers of the gunboat Marletta when Gen- eral Pinzon returned to Colon. It was ru- mored this morning that the government troops had been driven back over the Bar- bacoa bridge, but the rumor turned out to be incorrect.
