IMPORTATION or AMERICAN CATTLE.

lister of agriculture, received yesterday large
and influential deputation representing towns
in England containing ton million people, the
object of which was ito protest against re-
strictions of the food supply" Lord Carling-
ford stated that the decrease in tho importa-
tion of American cattle was due to the fact
that better prices could be obtained in Amer

system of compulsory slaughter of the ami

TERRIBLE SOUTH AMERICAN EARTHQUAKE
PANAMA, Juno IA, VIA GALvEsToN--The
Panama star aud Herald says the earthquake
in Ecuador on May 10 was felt intensely in
some parts of the interior. There was great
alarm at Quito, where the people, fearing
cataclysm, encamped in the streets. In La
tacunga, which is subject to earthquakes and
was utterly destroyed by one last century,
the shock was very severe, overthrowing
several houses, while those remaining
threaten to fall any moment. The villages
in the vicinity are almost completely de-
stroyed. On the arrival of the diligence at
Latacunga the mules were taken out and the
vehicle pulled through the streets by men
lest the rumbling should shake down the
houses. Cotopaxti is in active eruption, and
the people in the vicinity are terrified at the
probable repetition of the catastrophe of
March, 1867.
