Plundering the Country, Levying Con-
tributions and Committing Frightful Ex-
cesses--A Horde OF Coolies Following tn Q
Invaders and Continuing the Work of
Rapine and Plumber.
PANAMA, Nov. 6.-The Lima correspond
emit of the Star and Herald says: Com
mander Lynch continues; his raid through
the defenseless northern towns and valleys
of Peru. The damage, done is immense.
The people are panic stricken. All able have
gone to the towns in tho Cordillera on the
other slope, where it is hardly possible the
Chilians will care to penetrate. Blackmail
has been extensively levied by Lynch, and
all who have been requisitioned and have
not paid up have had their property de-
stroyed. Raiders arrived in the vicinity of
the Nassau plantation, in the Chicama val
ley, owned by Senior Orbayozo, secretary of
the government, three days ago, but halted
on receipt of message from the prefect of
the department., Senior Solomon, under flag
of truce, in which he proposed to
hold a meeting with Lynch to discuss
the matter. Lynch had demanded payment
of $3.50, 900 war contributions imposed by
would then reembark his troops. The Per-
| vivian project communicated with the dicta-
tor Plerrello for instructions and fetched q
dispatch from the American minister, Kuff-
man, who said: SIT is now important to all
that the committee of Peruvians should
come resolved and prepared to pay the way
contributions which, with perfect right, has
been imposed by the Gillian commander
on the town and valley of Truyillo." Pier
relic answered.: "We pay our ransom with
lead alone. All you have to do is to defend
yourself at all hazards and damage the in
| vador as much as possible. It is absolutely
necessary that the game should not seem
there as in the rest of the north, and that
the enemy should pay for invading" The
dispatch of consul Huffman will be sent tc
the American legation in order and this
government may appreciate it as it deserves
to be appreciated. The term of piracy il
rightly applied to the Gillian depredations
which have no eqnal in the usuages of other
nations" This dispatch from the dictator
pat an end to all attempts at arrangement
A skirmish recently took place near Moqur-
"a, between 400 Peruvians and 800 Chilians
resulting in defeat of the latter. Some ar
tilery was captured. A force 1000 strong

They have cattle on the island. During two
days they were shipping plumber from the
North to transports which left for the South
apparently with full cargoes.
Tide correspondent adds: 1t is some salts
faction to the Persians that while thei
coast is being plundered the Aroucarinal
Indians are reaping similar harvest in th'
south of Chill, and driving off herds, destroy
ing villages and killing the Inhabitants.
