 LIMA, Peru, July 6.-The United States steamers Alaska and Adams are in Callao The former has just returned from Mollendo, where she left General Adams, who proceeded to La Paz. MT. Christiancy, our minister here, also returned by her. She also brought as passenger the French consul at Tacua, who confirms in all the horrors the atrocities committed in that city and vicinity. Only one street escaped the sack, and this good for tune it owed to the circumstance that General Baquedano had his headquarters in 1t. Hun dreds of wounded and prisoners were slaugh- tered in cold blood. Not one wounded ally was found alive on the field on the day suc- ceeding the battle Women and girls of the tenderest age were violated and many killed. The farms in the vicinity and the1r lnhaolt- ants shared common fate with the town All who have been able to do so have em1grated. Every day six, eight or ten murders are con- mitted, while the bodies of the victims are allowed to remain unburied until their re- moval becomes matter of necessity. Africa suffered even more severely than Tacua. All the houses are either totally partially de- stroyed Out of the l, 800 defenders only 600 survive Those of the 1 200 who did not fall in the fight were subsequently massacred Tn cold blood. It is an authenticated fact that forty-nine soldiers who had thrown away their arms and taken refuge in the United States commercial agency, over which the flag was flying, were taken out and butchered in the street. The right of asylum in a com mercial agency may not exist, 1t IS true, but no one will deny, I believe, that the flag which was flying, and which was not touched,

Death From Hyorophobis-A Little
 Girls Terrible SuTerings.
 LANCASTER, Aug IA horrible death from hydrophobia occurred in this city about 9 o'clock Monday evening. The victim was an eight year old girl, daughter of John Booth, living at No. 512 Poplar street. She was bitten on Saturday, June F, while going to farmers residence, near the city limits, for milk for her parents. Although the owner of the dog observed that he ate meat and drank water on the day he bit the child, yet his conduct was rather singular in other re- spects, and on the following day he tore loose, ran to neighbours and died The little girl was treated by physician at once, and apart from suffering good deal of pain from the wound, which was on the wrist, she did not complain Last Sunday morning she was found lying in an entry asleep and with a raging fever. The fever remained unbroken until Monday morning, when she ran into the entry gave a terrible scream and fell over insensible. Soon after this she began bark ing like dog and bit at every object near her. When they attempted to give her med icine she bit at the spoon, and although three experienced physicians were summoned they failed to relieve her. The waving of a handkerchief or the sight of water threw her into violent spasms; but during the in tervals between the spasms she was fully con- scious, recognizing every one about her, and saving that she knew mad dog had bitten her, She died in great agony.

Wealthy Brokers Held for Trial.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Police Justice Duffy this afternoon rendered his decision in the case of Lawrence R. Jerome, jr., son of Law renee Jerome, Edward M Patchel and Will liam McGibbon, the bRkers who were charged with feloniously appropriating $S7, 900 worth of securities which were lost in Wall street on July Sth by messenger boy of the firm of Brayton, Ives & Go. The examination room was crowded by bankers and brokers prominent among whom was Mir Leonard Jerome. Justice Duffy, after reciting the evidence in the case, the finding of the securities by the telegraph boy who unwittingly delivered them to Jerome, think ing he was the owner, and the subsequent detention of the stocks by Jerome, Patchen that Brayton, Ives & Co. were the owners, said: eI deem it opposed to public policy to hold that the finder or receiver of anything lost can keep it until liberal reward is of fered. Honesty suggests an opposite course. If drunkenness were to be considered an ex cuse for crime I would discharge Jerome, but the law holds that drunkenness is no excuse for an illegal act. The prisoners should at once have returned the securities to Brayton, Ives & Co. and relieved the firm of the dis tress and anxiety under which they suffered. Taking the evidence and arguments into con- sideration believe there is probable cause to hold the accused to await the action of the grand jury" Bail was fixed at $2, 900. Ex- Congressman Morgan Jones became Jerome's surety. Mr. Patcheu and McGibbons also furnished bail. Justice Duffy's decision ere ated considerable comment in financial cir cles.
