Interesting Reports from the Banks or
the ANA xon Rivcr-Missionary ExpIora-
tion and Clerical Hints for Material
Progress.
A correspondent OF the Concrete OF Lima, dating
at Huanaco after complaining that the 5000 soles
given by the Peruvian government to the German
colony at Pozuzo to aid In constructing the road
between that place and Huancabamba had been
squandered, goes on to give some information
about the missionaries and Indian tribes In that
region. The more interesting points read as fol-
lows:-

in their travels arrived the 25th OF July last at
O point called Yunga-ro- -yacu, met with a party OF
Cachsivos Indians TO whom they gave lesson in

vos killing and making. prisoners OF some OF the

pirates OF the ucuyaii, had several Killed. In a
village belonging to the Schipivos the Fathers
found monstrous idol OF wood, figuring an enor-
nous monkey, the purpose of which, they were
told. was TO keep watcn over the women.
Ii is recommended that the Peruvian govern
ment should furnish these missionaries with
breechloaders for the protection OF the Fathers In
the navigation OF the rivers and against the wild
beasts that abound there, and that the populations
living ON the banks OF the Ucuyali should have a
direct relation with the authorities at Huanuco.

certain additional privileges, while the State will
buy the coal OF such mines In preference at the
current market prices.
