War and Earthquakes in South America
PANAMA, Nov. "a Lima correspon-
dent of the Star and Herald says Com
mander Lynch continues his raid through
the delenseless northern towns and val
leys of Peru. The damage done is i'm
mcnse and the people are panic stricken.
All have gone to towns in the Cordilleras
and on the other slope where il is hardly
possible the ChiliaDs will care to pene-
traie. Blackmail has been extensively
levied by commander Lynch and all who
have been requisItioned and have paid
up have had their property destroyed.
The raiders were camped in the vicinity
of Moscan Plantation in the Chiloma
Valley. owned by Senior ORDERLY, secre-
tary of the government, three days ago,
but were ordered. ON receipt of a mes
sage from the project, of the department
Senior Soloman, under flag of truce, TO
hold meeting with Lynch to discuss
matters. Lynch had demanded the pay
ment of $4,000 war contributions i'm
posed by him upon Trugo
and the vale, and he would then re-efn-
bark his troops. The Peruvian
Project communicates with Dictator
AOAAO Az AAoSA aNtAOno, d
dispatch from the American Minister,
b. V. Kaufman, who said it is import
ant to all that the committee of Peru
vians should come resolved and fully
prepared to pay all war contributions
which, with perfect right, has been inl-
posed by the CHILEAN commander on the
Town and valley of Trujillo. Purillo
answered: We pay our ransom with
lead alone. All you have to do is to de-
fend yourself ut all hazards and damage
the invader as much as possible. 1t is
absolutely necessary that the same
should not occur there as in the rest of
the north. and that the enemy should
pay something for invading.
The dispatch of consul Kaufman will
be sent to the American Legation. in Or
der that it and his government may ap-
preciate it as it deserves to be appreci-
ated The term eperfect right is
applied to the CHILEAN depredations,
which have no equal in the usages of
other nations. This dispatch from the
dictator pretends to all attempts at ar
rangements.
A sklrmish recently took place near
Neoqueza, between 400 Peruv ;ans and
SOC Chilians, resulting in the defeat of
the latter. ifs'f"G4 81 tfiaD'

1t some satifaction to the Peruvians
that while their coast is being plundered
the Araucarian Indians are reaping q
similar harvest in the south of the Chill
ians, and driving off the herds, destroy
ing the villages and killing the inhabit
ants Ill Angal.
A sharp earthquake was experienced
here and in Callao on the 10Th, at 8 :25
p. m. The shock lasted about eighteen
seconds. No damage was done. The
previous deviltry of tidal wave may
have again swept into Arc bay and de
stroyed the CHILEAN transports at anchor
there
A large torpedo was sent off in Gallon
Bay in the hope of destroying some o.
the CHILEAN vessels; it held three tons o.
powder. When it exploded it threw VI
great bodies of water, and shook thu
| whole of the country. The CHILEAN flee
was made aware of the danger, and gave
| the torpedo a wide berth.
Following the CHILEAN forces are one
hundred of the Chinese lately employed

| pleted the work of rapine and plundel
begun by the invaders.
