special has definite knowledge that Tilden has b
no means given up Presidential aspirations, buI
on the contrary, he is as s~anguine as ever. 1
fact, be has always been an optimist. He ia
made most of his money by picking up decayin
enterprises in which other men had lost faith
and this characteristic is most marked IN hin

disease OF the kidneys. He does a tremendou
amount of work, and uses stimulants freely. Ii
exercises daily on horseback, but is always close
~ followed by an attendant, for his friends feat
be will some day fall from his horse IN a fit o
Weakness. His most trusted friends are Henri
Watterson, Andrew B. Green and Abram 5
Hewitt, with whom he has become reconciled anC
is on intimate terms. No doubt New York will
send a Tilden delegation to Cincinnati.

In political circles here by the receipt, to-day, of

CHICAGO, May 8.-The Journals New York
special says The Star and Herald of Panama
has a protest of citizens of the United States
temporarily residing in Peru against the excuses
of Chileans. They say the orders given by the
Government of Chile to it's fleet are to burn and
destroy every port on the coast of Peru. We
have before us a terrible example of the barbar-
Gus mode Of warfare OF the Chileans in the
sacking and burning of Pisagua, and more re-
Gently of Molendo, Isla de Lobas and Eten. where
most unparalleled crimes and indignities have
been committed, together with wanton and cruel
destruction of foreign property. Our country
men in those places have suffered to an immense
amount. At Tombes, Talara, Isla de Lobas,
Eten, &c, the whole property plundered or des-
troyed has been that of our citizens or citizens of
other neutral nations. Should the design of the
Chileans be permitted to be carried out almost
every such resident will be reduced to restitution =.
The war, as carried on By the Chilean fleet, has
been but marauding attacks of pirates and buc-
cancers, while the groans of the sick, supplica-
tions of women ard the walls of children are the
only resisting force. Plumber, confagration,
murder, violation and utter ruin and disaster
have accompanied their footsteps.
New YORK, May GA cable dispatch to the
Tribune says The Tories assert that Austria de-

mand was made, but a suggestion from Vienna
that an explanation would be accepted elected a
courteous but firm declaration that the English
Government intended to hold Austria to a strict
compliance with the treaty of Berlin, and will
require the ultimate evacuation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
