SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-The CHron-
1cte Will say tomorrow: The cruiser San
francisco is lying at Mare Island, ready
to sail at a moments notice. as soon
as orders are received from Washington.
and these are expected to arrive at any
moment. The vessel has been pro-
ylsioned and equipped with arms and
ammunition TO the fullest capacity.
These extreme preparations about
settle where the cruiser is going. The
provisions are sufficient to last for many
months, even if unable to obtain supplies
from shore. There is no country in the
world at present from which any diff
cultles In obtaining fresh provisions
might be expected, except in Chile.
The additional fact that the cruiser is
carrying all the powder and ball possible
shows conclusively that it is TO leave for
Its destination with every preparation for
war.

The Temple of Incas.

A correspondent writes from Peru to
The Germania that the remains of a
temple, dating back from the period of
the Incas, have been discovered while
clearing the ground for small place on
one of the aff1uents of the upper Mara
non, in the great plain which lies at the
foot of the eastern Cordilleras. There
was an inclosing wall of great extent,
fully eighty inches thick, the inclosure
within being divided by other walls into
halls and smaller chambers. The plan
and the painted inscriptions resemble
what has been found in other places as
certained to be ancient Peruvian tenn
Piles.
Hence it is inferred that this also was
similar temple. Several buildings of
this kind have been found scattered over
Peru. The Spaniards demolished them
and floods bearing quantities of sand
from the Cordilleras covered over the
remains, to be succeeded later by a
growth of shrubs, and even trees, quite
hiding from view the masonry under
meath. The Peruvian government has
been moved by this recent discovery. and
some regular excavations will be under
taken on sites where temples and even
towns are known to have existed prior
to the conquest.
