This really threw me because I was thinking 1800s and wondering what the hell was with all the modernity and the references to telephones!This story was written back in the last century around the time of the US invasion of Panama.

Good point. Kids born after 1990 probably immediately think of the 1900s when they hear the phrase "the last century." I wonder what the cut-off birth year is for the 1800s to be the first thing to come to mind upon hearing that phrase. I'll do some informal interviewing on this question.
