Lautaro Battles Padilla in Panama Revolution Clash
In Panama on January 22 a prisoner exchange preceded a naval duel as the Lautaro, with a faulty circulating pump and no steam, faced the Padilla near a 300 meter distance. The Padilla, recently painted white to mislead guards, engaged with surprise fire while Lautaro's gun crew fought back with smaller arms. The Lautaro suffered the first casualty as its gunner fell, and General Alban was killed aboard during the fight. General Garcia was named military commander, and Senor Arjona became civil governor. Government troops reportedly reinforced Panama, making capture unlikely. Reports from New York indicate Alban died during the engagement and that Arjona signed a dispatch confirming defense plans. Revolutionary leader Herrera told U.S. cruiser Philadelphia’s Captain Mead he aimed to block the Colombia government’s Jan Faro steamer from aiding the Liberals, and the rebels claimed 17 wounded with several dead on both sides.
