Gen. FLORES is at the head of an expedition which
has gone from Chill to revolutionize Ecuador, and
that he has from 1000 to $500 men, and steamer
with eight guns, besides several sailing vessels. 1t

officers accompany him.
The New York Commercial Advertiser says it is
charged that Peru was secretly favoring the exped-

MURDER AND ROBBERY BY GILLIAN coNvIcTs

Valparaiso papers to the 18th February contain
Shaking intelligence from the Straits Of Magellan
Near the close Of December mqtiny occurred at
theChilian penal colony planted at Fort Bulnes,
and which, including the garrison with the prison
efs, contained population of between six and seven
hundred persons MUNoz GAMERo, the Gov
of the colony escaped with his fe company with
the priest and few more the other side Of the Straits
There they wandered about for many days, living on
shell6sh and suffering every hardship, but were at
length compelled by want to return to the colony In
stead Of being treated with compassion they met the most
merciless cruelty and the Governor murdered in
most brutal manner.
Whilst the Governor was wandering in distress, the
barque Floridd American vessel chartered by the
Gillian Government arrived at the colony and i'm
mediateiy seized Her owner, Mr.. SHAW, Of New Or
leans who was on board shot without any provoca-
tion and the captain was spared only that he might nav
gate the vessel About the same time British vessel,
the Eza Cornish anchored at the colony on her way from
Valparaiso for England having board besides her cargo
nearly hundred thousand dollars in treasure She too was
seized and paged and the captain the mate and own
ers shot, having first been put in irons. After
the Governor returned had been murdered these mis-
creants set sail from the colony having put death dur
ing the mutiny some twelve fifteen persons
The Of these outrages having reached Valparaiso
the British Admiral dispatched steamer, the Vrago
and the frgate The capture the mutneers, all Of
whom are now in the hands of the British Gillian
authorities
1t is stated that the rebels as soon as they had en-
barked board the ships seized by them at the colony
discovered that the leader, CAMBIAso had contrved
plan of getting rid Of the greater part of them for the
purpose of having fewer persons among whom to divide
the plumber They accordingly resolved to be be-
forehand with the chiefs of the praca party and formed
conspiracy to seize them they should leave
the Straits on their way to Monteydeo. The plot Of
Cambaso was to induce great portion Of the party
embark in boat under pretext and then sink
the boat More than forty persons had embarked in the
boat, but, the design being suspected the boat was
searched and the suspicion confirmed This prodac
ed reaction; counter conspiracy formed and,
under the lead Of the pilot of the Florida and sergeant
of the troops who had been stationed at the Straits the
exploit proceeded Cambiaso was left in chains at Chloe
Gold dust of the value of 600 discovered it being
the greater part of that which the rebels found board
the British brig Eliza Cornish There also recovered
5000 hard dollars, and $500 in silver bars.

1t is quite unayailing for the advocates of Free
Trade any longer to call in question the fact that
the tariff of 1916 has completely falsifed the pre-
dictions of its authors These men assured us that
it was made for the benefit Of the American farmers
Its practical operation has been for the benefit of
foreign laborers. We may import foreign manufac-
lures, foreign Injuries and foreign superfuities
much as we please, but Europe will take nothing
but hard cash for them, except on extreme COM
pulsion. Famine alone rendered -four and corn
more acceptable to Great Britain than gold and sill
for short time The famine over, she calls for
gold again, and she gets it. Let our Legislators
look to it, and estimate how long it will be before
the cheap labor of Europe, encouraged by an anti
American tariff in America, will break down the
manufacturing enterprise of our country, and drain
it of the metal which constitutes the basis of its mo-
notary system.--Boston Courier
