VERY LATE FROM THE PAcIFIc.-A .
correspondent, under date of Panama, May
29th. informs us that war had been de-
clared by Peru against Bolivia, and that
the rebellion in the province of Paste,
lone OF the Southern provinces of New j
Granada,) had broken out afresh. To {
add to the troubles of the times, the small
pox was raging there, and also in the {
i,sthmus. to an alarming extent. The
dates from Payta were to May 5th, and
from Bueneventura to the 18th.
We have Panama paper of the last
mentioned date, bat it contains no news of
Importance. 1t appears that the Paste
rebellion was occasioned by decree of
June 5, 1889, suppressing the converts.
1t was headed by Noguera, who, after
being defeated, was pardoned together
with his followers, by decree of goth
March, l840,-at the same time surren-
derlng their arms to the disposal of the
government What were the circum-
stances which led to a renewal of the |
rebellion, we are not informed. Journal
and Gazette.
TASTING BY GALVANISM.-We do not |
know In what better phrase to express the !
curious process discovered by Professor
Jccobi, of ST. Petersburgh, Russia, fine
specimen of which may be seen at DR..
Chilton's, in Broadway. 1t is a large
medallion of Franklin, in copper, made
by the deposition Of the metal from So
luton, under galvanic influence. The
medallion is Of course perfect fac-simile
of the mould, or cast. in which it was
made. The various uses to which this
discovery may be applied are innumera-
bic, and of high importance IN the arts
and in mechanically. YSpec.
GREAT STORM AT HAvANA-On the
goth and both May, Havana & the coun-
try in the interior were visited by tre-
mendous storm. The rain fell 10 inces-
SAINT torrents. All the small streams were
swelled to rivers-many plantations were
damaged-one village of poor people was
nearly destroyed, and it was supposed
several lives were lost.
: IMPORTANT LETTER OF GENERAL
: HARRIsoN.-For some time search has
t been industriouslv made by Judge Berri-
e en-, of Georgia, for letter he received in
0 1886, from Gen Harrison. Il has, for
D tunately, been found on the files of the
: Milledgevile Journal. The following is

S Il do not think that Congress can
f abolish, or in any manner interfere with
e slavery, as it exists in the States, but upon

It slavery in the District of Columbia, with

Il and Maryland and the people of the Dis
