Peru and Panama To BE Connected bY
The Electric Wire-Popular Progress
by encouragement OF science.
LIMA, Peru. NOV. 81, 1873.
On the 18th inst. were opened the bids, or,
should say the only offer, for the submarine cable
from Payta to Panama, made by the Telegraph
Maintenance Company, OF London, and the docu-
ment was instantly approved and endorsed by the
Minister OF Public Works. The bases on which all
proposals were to be made have already been COM
municated to the HERALD The Telegraph Main
tenance Company refuses the guarantee author
lied by Congress on the estimated cost OF the
work, and merely stipuates for the exclusive
privilege OF fixing high tariff for the transmission
OF messages. But. taking into consideration the
risky nature OF the enterprise, the contractors are
certainly entitled to generous profit. The cable
VIII be at once prepared and laid before Is months
have elapsed from the date OF the acceptance OF
the contract.
Peru will now have to use her diplomatic innu-
ence with the United States OF Colombia and Ecua-
dor to obtain for the builders of the line the mo-
nopoy stipulated Tor. Once that the wire Is sue
cessully submerged the electric communication
between Lima and Panama Will be complete. tue
been extensively employed ior four years past.
But still greater accommodation will, it is hoped,
be soon offered TO the general community.
ANOTHER MONOPOLY
has beon requested by another English company,
to extend a cable rom Pisco to Caldera in Chile,
on conditions that in nowise draw funds from the
Lima with Panama and that reaching from the Pc
ruvan metropolis TO Psco, a port to the south,
distant about 15O miles, and the land wire from
Caldera to Santiago de Chile, Valparaiso and Pan
anna Will be placed on speaking terms.
No danger OF interruption is anticipated from
the quiet waters OF the inshore Pacific, and II the
Atlantic VIII only be tranquil our news from Eu-
rope and the United States Will be received with
but few hours delay.

correspondent, writing from La Paz, Bolivia,
under date OF the 10th or this month, informs us
that Congress about to adjourn after an inter-
esting session or 80 days. during which time very
important measures nave been adopted for the
material progress OF the country. The principal
subjects for consideration submitted to the AS
sembiy turned on financial matters, and President
Ballivian, whose health, by the way, was steadily
mending, had experienced the satisfaction OF
gaining his point relative to the issue OF SUFFICIENT
portion OF the loan OF 1872 noated in part in Eu-
sweeping reforms were sanctioned; a reduction OF
salaries and pensions, two items always extrava-
gantly liberal IN Bolivia and the establishment or
certain internal 1mposts, greatly needed, hgure
among the foremost.
AMERICAN INDUSTRY AND PROGRESS
Americans may congra uate themselves that the
works initiated by their countryman Colonel
George Il. Church, in building the railway around
the falls or the MADEIRA are TO be completed under
the sanction OF Congress. The Executive Is au-
thorized to aid the undertaking with all the means
at It's disposal and guaranteeing with further
funds the loan raised for the express purpose or
carrying out the enterprise, it is considered that
the monetary difficulties or the question Will be
comparatively small.
No later intelligence has been received relative
to the whereabouts or health OF Mr.. A. ID. Piper,
plan or coloniZng the valuable tract OF territory on
the rivers Benz and Purus, granted to him with
that object by the Bolivian government. The peti-
tion OF his devoted vile. with which the readers OF

LIMA, Nov. 81, 1879
We have not yet learned what the outside world
mas had to say regarding the butchery OF the un-
fortunates who were found on board the steamer
Virginus when she fell into the hands OF those
most accomplished descendants OF Torquemada
and Alva; but the cry of vengeance that went up
from this old Spanish capital when the dreadful
story was told would certainly have astonished
the dons and inquisitors who once held full
power in
THE CITY OF THE THREE KINGS.
To Its credit be IL stated, the organ OF the Holy
Church In Lima was among the first to bitterly
condemn the cowardly crime; and the other jour-
nails, more or less influential, united with La
.Soctedad in exhorting the government to convoke
q Congress, to be composed OF representatives
from the American republican states, TO
take sucn measures armed or pacific, as might
be found necessary to guarantee the independence
OF the struggling patriots Of Cuba. These earnest
appeals Immediately produced their erect. The

The news that the Virginius had been for

to the United States in the port of Bahia Honda,
sixty miles west Of Havana, according to the
arrangement between Secretary Fish and Min
lister Polo, reached here to-day.
AMERICAN AND CUBAN FEELING
It has caused feeling of jubiation among
the Americans, but the Cubans resident here
do not share it.

The officers Of the navy who are ashore do
not think that the difficulty is ended. They
look forward to cruise in squadron in Cuban
waters during the next few months.
the Virginius-The Captives Doubtless
Released.
WASHINGTON, Dec. II, 1878.
The news of the surrender of the virginius
was communicated to this government this
afternoon by Admiral Polo, who was advised
Shereof by Captain General Jovellar.
THE cApT1vEs RELEASED.
No information has been received tonight
concerning the Virginius survivors at Santiago
de Cuba, but no doubt exists that they were
delivered up to our authorities yesterday.
1t would take some time for news to reach
Hayana from Santiago de Cuba and this, it
is considered, accounts for the fact that the in
Negligence of their release has not been COM
municated to the government.
ADMIRAL SCOTS REPORT.
The following despatch was received to-
night by Secretary Robeson:-
KEY WEST, Dec IT, 1873.
Hon. GEORGE M. RoDEsoN, Secretary of the
Navy
The Virginius was promptly put into our
hands yesterday at the appointed time. Your
orders will be carried into effect with all
despatch. Further information will be tele-
graphed tomorrow.
G. II. SCOTT,
Rear Admiral, Commanding.
HOW BAHIA HONDA WAS SELECTED.
This government insisted that the virginius
should be given into it's possession at Cuban
port and the Spanish authorities decided,
under all the circumstances, that Bahia Honda
was the most suitable place at which the sur
render could be made.
Particulars Of the Surrender Received ut
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec II, 1873. z
The Department of State has received in
formation that the Virginius was released yes
terday morning (the 16th), at nine o'clock,
and sailed from Bahia Honda at four O. clock
in the afternoon.
Cause OF the Delay in Communica ating
the Fact or the Surrender.
WASHINGTON, Dec IT, 1873.
No doubt exists in official quarters of the
delivery of the Virginius and the surviving
passengers and crew to the United States
naval vessel, although neither the Secretary
of State nor Secretary of the Navy, up to noon
to-day, has received confrmatory dispatches.
The absence of telegraphic communication
between Bahia Honda and Key West accounts
for the delay of such intelligence, which will
come from the latter place, it is anticipated,
during to-day.
