Panama pictures; nature and life in the land of the great canal . A PICTURES. their guns cheerfully, in readiness for theemergency of war, which was rumored allaround as being imminent with the out-witted Colombians, and their vauntedallies, the San Bias Indians, whose com-bined strength was computed at somethinglike forty-five thousand men in all.
