The grand flourish of proclamatons and official bul-
letins-the pomp and parsie which preceded the de-
parture Of President Eeheneque for the seat Of war
led the people TO hope that he had gone forth either 10
speedy victory or defeat and that instead OF acting On
The defensive he had determined TO stake all . do
cisive engagement. But unfortunately. we had put
too much confidence in Peruvian vslor-hsd even
presumed TO look upon the miserable squad Of SOL
;srs headed bv the President, efficient military
force for the suppression Of instruction. The pro-
ss ~ events for the last six weeks has utterly fas
s. svsrv such suggestion. Official dispatches are
ac;ved in this city almost daily from the army, but
,bev reject no credi, on the Government Officers a.

IT, fo,ish boast OF the President, that where danger
sx;s.ed there lie would be found, appears morc
r;d;cnIous from the known fact that having sougnt
and found his enemy he has not ventureu 70 cfis ms

An express arrived from the Government camp On
the 23d bringing dates TO the 18th inst Ecnene@ae
was awaiting an attack from Castillo, having sa'isnea
himself that scarcity OF provisions IN .ne
battle. II is reported that 500 Of Castlas men hae
taken possession of Pampas taking prisoners two o.
fcers who mad remained behind unwen. Inc two
armies sre only thirteen leagues apart Casula is ~
ILcuchaca with four battsllcns.
A private letter struggled forth from Echeneques
srmv and which has been shown us, says that the
vslorous President is alternately advancing anu re-
firing fsr the avowed purpose Of Turing Casta from
bis present impregnsble position; but more IMAM
likely he wishes to famlarize himself with wen
executed retrograde maneuvers, ss he VIII prop.
ably be compelled to adopt them ere long tor personal

admitted in the reports but in all prooa-
hilitv he is much better of IN reality. Aspy was
SD nv Echenequea few days since, from whom u
S"s haen escertained that Casua was about To move
unon Colca, only few miles distant RON the camp
We sincerely hope tha, henceforth Castillo will act

TREASURE ForSD.-It has been limited to us that
two Americans who are engaged in making repairs
and alterations upon the premises OF NJ in this
city, have possessed themselves OF large amount OF
treasure. found imbedded under solid wall of ma
sopry The prize consists of three large earhen crooks
of gold and silver coin of old date. together yh
several valuable gold vases of beautiful workman
ship. In one of these latter q piece of parchment
was found, inclosed in u covering of wax, covered
with cyphercal writing, which probably explains the
ret of the treasure Ii bears the date OF 1908 aud
is sealed with curious coat of arms, consisting of
crocodile rampant and fving monkey about to drop
upon his crocodIleship We have only been able ID
gather the above in roundabout way, the lucky fell
lows not wishing the matter to leak out until they
had made still further explorations on the premises:
The amount already recovered Is said TO be upward
of $50. OOO but probably this is far below the real
value.
Some thirty prisoners were brought down from lea
on the steamer, of whom, an Austrian, succeeded
in slowing himself away beyond reach of his keepers
Dilgent search made for the man, but without
success
We learn that horrible murder committed on
the night Of the 2ith. The particulars, however,
have not yet been communicated to US.
RuMoRED CAPTURE or THE PREsrDEST.-Just as
we 90 to press rumor is in circulation to the effect
that general engagement had taken place between
the Government army and the Revouonists, result
ing in the total discontinue of the former and tho
capture Of Echeneque. Possibly IL may be true, al
though we do not credit the rumor.
