SOUTH AMERICA.
The Chili-PeruvIan War.

PANAMA, December 2}.-In an en-
gagement at Tarapaca, between $500
Chilians and 5000 Peruvians, under
Buendin, the former were forced TO re-
tire after losing 1000 men killed, seven
cannon and three mitralleuse. The Pc
ruyian loss was 600. Gen. Montro has
taken President PardO's place as
Director OF War and the President has
returned to Lima where a dictator is
spoken Of, the failure OF the war being
charged TO incapacity and want OF pa
triotism OF Prado. Montro has in africa
1900 men, while the Chilians have in
Taraposo something over $1,000 men.
africa is blockaded, and Iquique is gar
risOned by few Chilian marines. The
transportation OF more supplies or rein
forcements for the Peruyians in the
South is impossible. Lima is well de-
Tended and both that city and CallaO are
guarded in anticipation OF an early at
tack by the Chilians. Many Peruvians
admit that the Chilians are too many for
them and are beginning to talk OF peace.

under the sales a decline Of 10 2t per

vailed at the close.

that Judge Harlan has rendered deci-
sion in the case OF the Columbus, Chi
cago and Indiana Central Railroad Com
pany against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in which he fixes the amount
due the plaintiff at 5000 900. This de-
cision is not unlikely To have effect OF
a still further advancing price, particu-
larly as il is well understood that the
PENNSYLVANIA people have become pos
sessed OF the bulk of the stock. A WASH

The new combination method of oper-

attracting unusual attention in financial
circles, by reason OF its remarkable success.
A customer in Providence invested nine
times, and made over 5000 in three
months, by using from $50 to $500 capital.
BY this system, orders from thousands of
customers, in various sums, are pooled into
one immense capital and operated as
mighty whole, thus giving to each share
holder all the advantages of vast capital and
shrewdest skill. Profits are divided every
thirty days Any amount from $40 to
$75, 900 can be used in Messrs. Lawrence &
Co.'S combinations with equal proportion
ate success. $l5 will make $75 profit in the
month. $500 will return $1,000 or per
cent. on the stock, and so on as the market
varies. The new circular gives 1.-TWO un-
erring rules for success, and shows how any
one can operate profitably. Mailed free.
