Determined TO Capture Lima.
PANAMA, August 20.-Advices from the
South state that the Chilians appear more
determined than ever to capture Lima, and
have gathered o force OF 80, 1000 men about
the city, which they propose to increase to
$4,000. The garrison consists of ten thou
sand effective men. 1t is claimed that the
Chilians have sixty thousand men in the
northern department of Peru, destroying
plantations and sacking defenseless towns.
The exports Of Chill during the past
four months are largely in excess of the
imports, and two million dollars more
than during the same period last year.
silver Certificates.
WASHINGTON, August 20.-The constant
desire on the part Of the public for one and
two dollar bills, has raised a dis
cnssion as to the propriety Of an amend
ment to the act authorizing the issue of
ten dollar silver certificates, SO as to allow
their issue in ones, twos, and fives. 1t has
been claimed that this would supply the
demand for small bills, and at the same
time utilize silver, or tokens representing
it, leaving the SAM on deposit in the
vaults of the Treasury, where it would
never suffer loss by abrasion. Inquiry at
the Treasury Department ELECTS the fact
that the officials think that such a move
would be very disastrous. They would
rather see the present certificates abolished
than to be reinforced by smaller denomi-
nations Of silver. The Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury gave it as his opinion TO-
day that If the smaller denominations of
silver certificates were issued, it might re-
suli in in reducing the Treasury to a silver
basis.
A Letter TO the Chinese Minister.
New YORK, August 20.--It is under
stood that a letter has been addressed by

lister, informing him if satisfactory proof
can be furnished to the President by the
Government Of China, that if no discrimi-
mating duties Of tonnage or imports are
imposed or levied in ports of China upon
any vessels belonging wholly to citizens of
the United States, that then the foreign
discriminating duties of tonnage and i'm
port within the United States will be sus-
pended or discontinued, SO far as respects
the vessels Of China, and the produce man
ufacturers or merchandise imported into
the United States from China or from any
other foreign country. As it will require
many months before such assurances as are
requisite, could be given, the government
has no alternative but to fix the duties
fixed by law.
