[XXVI-64] By Juan P. Jaen, president of the superior court. Id. Jan. 2, 1884.
[XXVI-65] Cervera had likewise claimed immunity from prosecution, as a senator elect.
[XXVI-66] Correoso stated in the Pan. Star and Herald of July 12th that Ruiz' government had been upset 'á punta de sable' by Porto, whose authority sprang from the condescension of Ibañez in recognizing as authentic a telegram received that morning by Porto. He repeats the charge in his Sucesos de Pan., 7. The fact was that Ibañez' brigade was by the telegram incorporated with the 3d division, and thus came to be under the control of Porto, who was chief of staff of that division. Pan., Cronista, July 9 to Aug. 2, Aug. 13, 1884.
[XXVI-67] In Coclé, Chiriquí, and Panamá. Gaceta de Pan., Oct. 15, 1884; Cent. Am. Miscel., no. 2.
[XXVI-68] The Morro was a British boat, which the rebels seized in the night from the 14th to the 15th, and then went on her alongside the Alajuela, which was a Costa Rica vessel, seized her, and proceeded to sea, leaving the Morro behind.

[XXVI-70] The assembly, being notified that the legally constituted authorities were now recognized, passed a vote of thanks to Cervera, his secretaries, Victor Dubarry and J. F. Ucrós, and Gen. C. A. Gónima, for their successful efforts for peace. La Estrella de Pan., Nov. 6, 13, 1884; Pan. Star and Herald, Nov. 6, 1884; Pan. Cronista, Nov. 8, 1884.

Id., July 30, Oct. 18, 1884; La Estrella de Pan., Sept. 4, 1884.
[XXVI-72] Gónima telegraphed Nuñez at Bogotá, on the 30th of Sept., the day before the assembly met, that it would call a convention, and adds that, thanks to the patriotic efforts of Cervera, 'Lambert no será presidente. Sus indicaciones oidas.' Bogotá, Diario Ofic., Oct. 8, 1884; Bogotá, La Luz, Oct. 8, 1884. Lambert, on the 12th of November, in an address to the Colombian people, protested against the unjustifiable interference of the federal govt in the internal affairs of Panamá, by which he had been prevented from assuming the chief magistracy he had been chosen to by the suffrages of his fellow-citizens. At the same time he made known his intention to cause no disturbance, but to remain peaceably in private life. La Estrella de Pan., Oct. 30, Nov. 20, 1884.
