CHILL.


The principal news from Chill relates TO the ter
rble norther which took place there on the o5tn
OF May last, at Valparaiso, by when many lives
were lost and vessels wrecked. Nothing could
withstand the awful sea that was up by the
violence OF the wind. Boats were knocked abou c
and upset like cockleshels.
The Chiian man OF war yuldirrle did not get up
steam in time and broke from her moorings, and
drove down uDen the men-ol-war Thalaba and Es-
meralda, causing to both vessels great damage in
their lore paris.
Tue Esmer aida, threatening to upset, her chains
were let go, ana after drifting aDont the harbor
and damaglng several other vessels was finally
run ashore to prevent her from sinking.

THE PANAMA DIFFICULTY SETTLED.
GENERAL CAMARoo TO BE RELEAsEp-PEAcE
SECURED.
senor Antonio NJ Pradilla, who arrived in this
city by the steamship Colon from Aspinwall, has
communicated the following intelligence to a
HERALD reporter.
IL Will be remembered that short time ago the
Governor Of Panama took upon himself the
responsibility OF arrestlng General Camargo, who
had been sent from Bogota BY the President OF
the United States OF Colombia to take charge OF
the national troops in that State. This was such
bold and Revolutionary proceeding that nothing
short OF open civil war was anticipated as
result, The close business connection between
New York and Panama and the number or Amer
leans residing there make the interest felt here
In the course Or public events on the Isthmus
more keen than In the case OF any other Spanish
American Republic except, perhaps, Mexico. The
outbreak OF revolution in Panama would innict
serious loss on many American houses, and
therefore the news IRON that quarter has
been looked for with some anxiety since
the first rumors OF revolutionary compli-
cations reached here. In order to avert
the danger OF civil war, the general government
determined to adopt cOnciliatory policy, aud to
that end appointed two "Peace Commissloners,-
General Sagar, late Minister OF Colombia TO
Washington, and Senior Esguerra, secretary OF
the treasury. these gentlemen proceeded to
Panama and at once entered into negotiations
with the refractory state authorities, and nave at
last succeeded IN assuring the continuance OF
peace. The terms are that General Camargo shalt
be released, and that action egardIng the ar
bltrary ana revolutionary proceedings OF the Gov
ernor shall be left TO tue supreme Court OF the
United states OF Colombia. Tnls uoes imply
the impeachment OF the Governor out ne Is still
liable TO punishment II the judicial authority
should so decide. TINS information senior Pradllia
had from one OF the Peace commissioners, who is
personal friend OF MS. and VINO travelled with
hlm from Bogota to Panama. This settles the an
nculy ana averts the danger OF threatened revo-
luton.
The origin OF the difficulty was division In the
fourteen years. The choice or tue party was
DIVIDED between two candidates Tor the Presl-
dency oil the Republic. Rafael Nunez and AqullIa

toward the END OF TINS year, ana the prooaO ity Is
