CINCINNATI, April 4.-The News
Journal has an interview with l.. A
Phillips, member Of the jury who
tried Berner, and who has been &C.
cused of going to ST. Louis to escape
mob violence. Phillips said he was in
st. Louis in pursuance of a plan
made before the Berner trial began
and remained in Cincinnati without
molestation; that he was at the Mu,
sic hall meeting the night the riot be.
gan, and remained there until Sunday
night. He says the first ballot cast
by the jury showed seven for acquit-
tai. He was for murder in the second
degree. The second ballot was eleven
for manslaughter and one for murder
in the first degree.
He yielded at last because of sick
ness in his family. and because he
was told he would be kept there

SOUTH AMERICA,


PANAMA, April 4.-The Peruvian
minister for foreign affairs, replying
to the protest of England against the
clause in the treaty OF pace between
Chilli and Peru, ceding nitrate and
guano beds to Chill, which England
claimed were guaranteed for the pay
ment of the Peruvian debt, he says,
in substance, that Peru, when nego-
tlating the treaty. acted IN virtue of
the right she possessed FOR self-gov-
eminent, and right acknowledged
from the moment of her in pendence by
all nations ; and she cannot consent
to any foreign interference without
wounding her rights as a sovereign
and jropard.zlng those prerogatives
which she has always respected in
other nations. Therefore, she has not
consulted, nor does she consider her
self Obliged TO consult with them re-
garding her trFaties, lest she might
endanger the basis of her own proper
existence. The debts originated from
loans affected with private parties, re-
garding whose nationality the gov
eminent never thought proper to in
quire, as those debts have never as
sumed an international character.
Although they NAV now be partly
held in English hands, yet at
any time they may be transferred to
persons of any other nationality. Peru
ows nothing to England, asa govern
ment or state, and consequently the
loans referred to cannot be made a
subject of diplomatic interference. 1t
is matter of public noteriety that
for years past, the mortgaged property
has not been in possession of Peru,
yet during that time ca1goes of nitrat e
and guano from that property have
been sold in foreign ports without any
protection on the part of the nations
now making protest, although Peru
sought to embargo these cargoes
abroad. If, after tie war, Peru found
herself obliged to sacrifice the property
so mortgaged, she has so proceeded for
her own servation, which is the
first and most imperative duty of the
state.

The Laws Revenge.

CINCINNATI. April 4.-The first
sentencing of prisoners since the riots
took place to-day in Judge Johnston's
court. Belle Osborn, colored, was con-
victed of shooting with intent to kill,
and received seven years. She begged
most piteously when sentence was
announced, and the judge began to
say, as this was a woman he would
modify the sentence, when the prose-
cutor enterposed a vigorous protest,
saying this woman has been before the
criminal courts again and again, and
something must be done to relieve the
courts, if for no other purpose. The
judge then permitted the sentence to
remain. The only other case whose
crime was homicide, was that of John
Murtah, who pleaded guilty to man.
slaughter. 1t appeared he struck a
man with his fist. The plea was &C
copied and he was given five years.

1t RACES With Unexampled Fury in the
Caro1inas.
RALEIGH, N. c., April 4.-For three
days and nights the most destructive
fires ever known have been devastat-
ing the southern borders of this state,
extending into six or seven counties,
in which vast forests of long leaf pine
have been attacked. These form the
chief source of our timber supply.
The high winds first famed the flames
into fury, and now hundreds Of thou
sands of trees have burned, while some
of the largest turpeDtine orchards
in the state are ruined. Many farm
houses have also been burned. The
people are bravery fighting the fire
and number of towns have narrowly
| escaped destruction. AT Manly, on the
Raleigh 81 Augusta railway, a number
| of houses were burned, and large
stores of lumber and railroad stills OF
the line of the road were destroyed. A
dozen turpentine distilleries have beer
wiped out, and the country is IL
great stretches but blackened wilder
ness. The extent of the disaster i
not yet known. Many families hav
been made homeless by the fire, which
has swept fifty miles in one direction
and thirty in another, few places, i
is reported, escaping. The confiagra
ton was caused by burning brush
from which the high wind drove tn
sparks into the turpentine woods
The flames have now extended far int
South Carolina on the line of tn
Charlotte, Columbia 81 Augusta raj
road, and trains have been runnin
through miles of fire, and dwelling
and barns have been burned every
where in that direction. AS far q
known. no lives have been lost.
