The Volcanoes Threatening Ecuador.
GUAYAQUu, July 25.-We are all frightened
over the predictions OF the German sayant who
declares that this year we shall experience the
greatest earthquakes that have ever been known.
These predictions are believed by great many,
particularly as we have every now and then
good shaking. On the 21st instant we had
quite severe shock of earthquake here,
which was felt as far as Paita and
Callao. Two days afterwards a shower of
ashes fell over this city, which it is believed
proceed from the old volcano Pichinchi, the
mountain on which the city of Quito is situated.
The volcanoes of Pichinchi and Cotopaxi are at
present in state of activity, which leads to all
kinds of apprehensions. The Tumbes petroleum
wells are doing well; they produce at present
,rollp oil Tbn
ton has declared the country in a state of war;
it has given the Executive full power to act just
as he pleases General Garcia Morenois is despot
of the worst character, and the power conferred
on him will be used to the very best advantage
to crafty his thirst for blood.

La PAZ, June 2S.-ln consequence of the Sc

them to obedience With this exception peace
