In the adjoining room, just out of sight of his wife, her aged husband wav found, himself near death. Con- scious that something had happened, he was feebly calling his wife an striving to move himself into a posi- tion from which he could see her chair. It ia thought that the wife died Saturday night. The lamp on the e beside her was turned low and the oii was burned to the last drop.

Althowrh life went very hard with the gray jaired couple, nobody heard Tom complain. His wife was 54 years old, but very feeble.

DIED ON SHIP'S DECK Ofa Bullet Wound--Battle Drawn at Knd--Death of Government Com- mander Is Most Important Result so Far of Attack on Panama, Panama, Colombia, Jan. 27.--Mak- ing their long expected attack on Panama from the sea on Monday morning, the Colombian Liberals, or revolutionists, precipitated within 'of the citizens a naval greater than Panama has seen in many years. They set om fire and sunk the Lautaro, a government ship, and one of their vessels, the Darien, was beached. There was a heavy loss in killed and: wounded, especially on the government side. Sailors from the United States cruiser Philadelphia rescued many of the wounded. More far reaching in effect even than the naval fight is expected to be the death of General Alban, Mil- itary and Civil Governor of Panama and the northern cowst of Colombia and practically dictator in his dis- trict. He was killed leading his men in rsom on the steamer Lautaro, which only a few days ago he seized from a Chillan company. Standing om the quarter deck, encouraging his men after the ship was afire, he was struck by a bullec from a rebel guu- boat. He diea quickly, and not long afterward his menu were in full re- treat from tne burning ship. She was deserted by her crew within an hour after they tost the inspiration of General Alban"s leadership. Previous efforts of the insurgents to gain control of the Isthmus of Panuma had been made on land. Learuing tnat the latest expedition, commanded by General Herrera, who was defeatea here last year, would attack by sea, General Alba clxar- tered two steamers and seized the Lautaro to reped the invasion. Slipping into Punama Bay at 6 o"Cloeck in the morning, the revolu- tionary vessels the Almirante Padilla, formerly a Salvadorean gunboat ; the Darien and the Gaitan, practically surprised the Lautaro, the largest of the Government ships. The Pa- dia, which has an excellent equip- ment of rap! © guns, went close to the, Lautaro, and before that ship could make effective reply to the first fire killed or wounded scores of the Lautaro"s crew. The Darien and Gaitan started in the direction of a Jong Government sea wharl, near the city. - With the Boyaca, which had been chartered from the Panama Cana 'company, absent getting troops ata Chiriqui, the only other Govoern- ment vessel effective was the Chi- culto, which had been chartered from the Pacific Steam Navigation Com- pany. The Chicuito attempted to cut off the Darien and Gaitan, and the Pa- dilla sent three shots from her heaviest guns at the Chicuito. This vessel replied with rapid fire guns, aod the Padilla moved away a jittle. Moving off, 'the Padilla got within range of the gums of Las Bovedas, a fortress, and several shots fell close to the ship. So far as could be seen, there was no evidence that this vessel was struck, except that she moved slowly after the exchange with the Chicuito. There was a great deal of manoeuvring, without any damage being done. Fire appeared fn the Lauttaro about ten o'clock, br-one hour before General Alban was killed on her decks. The vessel was practically deserted afterward, and by 12 0'clock many of her dead were being buried in) Panama The fire strength rapidly, az within hour after the General's death drove the last faithful ones off the ship. It was rumored here that the Lautaro was fired as the result of treachery. Shooting ceased about ihe time the fire gained sway ove e Lautaro, and the revolutionist ship Darien then steamed close to the United States ship sh talk nn American pallors were by that time busy row- ing to the Lautaro and taking off the wounded and fucitives from the fire. The men from the United States ship next endeavored to extinguish the fire on the Lautaro, but failed. The Darien, it seems, asked for aid, ag.ehe later went ashore. About two o'clock, despite all efforts to save her, the Lautaro sank.
