LATEST FROM PERU.
Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commerce.
LIMA, March 18th, 1912.

Our markets in bad state; and any improve
must depend mainly the political state of the
country, which we are sorry to say has experienced
anything but Improvement since our last auvices.-
The Bovians still occupy the Southern part ofPeru
and the Peruvans must have, by this time, fully 5000
men concentrating Cuzco, to commence active
operations the rains over in the Cord
leras We fear they will be again leieated, and the
consequences if SO, will be and distressing
Things too, have gone with northern neigh
bors and the Peruvian Minister, who had asked his
pass, or and left Quito, has arrived here. The
Ecuatorian government has named one to come here
and reopen negotiations Still, Gen. Flores pacific
intentions ale much doubted, and it is believed he
means sooner or later to invade Peru, and finger
awhile her richer resources. Northern army ofob-
servaon is consequently being formed, to resist the
aggression feared from that quarter. This extraodi
nary demand on the resources and population of the
country, is runous; and until have peace and
order good can be expected.
In such state of affairs it is almost superfuous to
talk of business prices being almost nominal as re-
CARDS sales The stock Of grey goods is heavy, and
as prices giving way somewhat in Valparaiso, we
fear we shall also have to come down here.

THIN WE'D MONT AMI TIDCTNTA

These now the only ships remaining on the
stocks at Charlestown-and we hope they will not long
be suffered to remain in their present easy positions
but that they will be withdrawn from their hiding
places and sent abroad to perform the services for
which they were originally built. Both of these ships
have been on the stocks for twenty years-and,
during that time, must necessarily have suffered more
or less decay. They are, moreover, of ancient model
clumsy and heavy in the extreme-and probably
prove but dull sailors-and, in time when speed
would be required to capture enemy, any common
sailing vessel would run them ehull down" in short
time. Each being 100 gun Ships more, the i'm
mense weight Of their required ornaments, added to
their poorness of model, and great size will render
them unhandy, and unfit them for very active SER
vice. What propose, then, is to have them cut
down to moderate size entirely remodeled, and to
have new timbers where old ones are defective-and
launched, rugged and manned, and sent abroad as
perfect models of American naval architecture. Too
much credit cannot be awarded to the present Secre
tary of the Navy for the activity and energy he has
shown in his present suation-and when we contrast
this activity with the sothfulness and nattention Of
his Loco Foco predecessors, we behold, as it were
new and bright era dawn upon the heretofore ne
elected NAVY We hope the Secretary will continue
he has begun-and have all the ships rotting on
the Stocks promptly repaired and launched into their
native element. We pray he will not forget
chancs of the North, but give them the opportunity
of soon finishing the VERMONT and VIRGINIA. Ano-
Their subject, too in which we of the North are all
would press upon the attention of the Government.
1t is the building at our Navy Yard, of STEAM FRI
GATES, and the establishment at the same spot of a
NATIONAL FOUNDRY, for manufacturing steam ma
chinery and other implements of war; There is, at
this present moment, lying unapproprated in the
Charlestown Navy Yard, timber enough to complete
three four largest class vessels-and why not
it in constructing some steam frigates' Now that
steam is taking its precedence on the ocean, we shall
want steam vessels of war--and, as we have often
reiterated, there is place in the United States so
admirably, so beautifully adapted for the building of
such vessels, our Navy Yard at Charlestown. Let
the VERMONT and VIRGINIA be launched--let the
foundry be established-and then devote the four
stocks of the Navy Yard to the construction of
of-war steamers. 1t would be difficult to assign a
reason why our mechanics of the North, as sklful
any in the world, should not have share of Govern
ment employment-and will guarantee the faith
full performance of any work they may undertake
We earnestly entreat the notice of the Secretary to
this subject-and ask the attention of merchants
and all others interested therein, that they may make
move in this matter, and see if objects desirable
cannot be accomplished.

The approach of the earthquake was indicated in
Port au Prince by great heat and heavy clouds that
covered the neigbborng hills and followed the direc-
ton Of the southwest to the northeast.
The vessels at anchor, some of the sailors report,
experienced the shock before they the houses ag

from the West.
There were two shocks at Port au Prince very dis

with the affrghted population.
On the night of the 7th, and also on the Sth, 9Th
and 10TH the shocks were repeated.
ST. Marc-A letter from this town says that the
earthquake was felt there with violence. Many hous-
es were seriously damaged, and destroyed, but
no loss of life is mentioned.
At Gonaires the shocks were yet more serious
The greater part of the houses were overthrown.
fire broke out at the time, and there was not
drop of water in town All the houses that were not
burnt suffered from the earthquake. II was In the
streets that the writer of the letter giving this account
was inditing it. The Church. the Prison, the Palals
National the Treasury and the Arsenal were all de-
stroyed.
This letter concludes at 8 A. M. by saying:

great commotion. At present. we are Ignorant OF the
number of persons killed wounded All the prison.

Monday, the 9th, destroyed the powder magazine,
