the coast can be protected against the
rebel navy. He has at last accomplished
his task. General Jose Francisco Coma

San Diego letter of February 9th says:
Everything is at skies and sevens here.
Great insecurity is felt by everyone. Co
guile and Serena have succumbed to the
revolutionists, and now the inhabitants of
those places are lending the rebels all aid
IN their power. The sailors and mariners
from the men-of-war Huascar and ANA
zona landed at Taltal, and, aided by the
populace, drove the Government officials
out and took complete possession OF both
places.
AT Piesagua the same result is reported.
The steamers Cachapoal, Aconragua,
Llnlarl, Atata and Amazonas, belonging
to the South America Steamship Com
pany, have been captured, armed and
pressed into the revolutionary party.
The Cachapoal was sent to Pisagua, and
there opened fire on the Government
forces, and during the combat the rebels
destroyed $50, 600 rounds of cartridges and
captured fifty-three prisoners within
four hours after the siege commenced
along the coast.

Exchange Telegraph Company from
Chile says information received from
official sources shows the Chilean insur-
gents are short of ammunition, and they
therefore refrain from making an attack
upon the Capital, where the troops are
well armed and are prepared to make a
defense. President Balmaceda's parti-
sans are of the opinion that. a vigorous
effort upon the part of the Government
troops will quell the rebellion.

LIVE STOCK INTERESTS.

Raising live stock is one of the most important industries in Arizona. It is now fully time that there was a more complete and perfect union in che action of our cattlemen. At last they seem to be waking up and are moving in dead earnest. The cattle association formed the other day at Tucson is one of, if not the most i'm portant of any ever entered into, in the Territory. Cattle laws can be en- acted by the coming Legislature which will be great improvement upon those now in force. Owners and non- owners of cattle, both can be bettered in their relations, one to the other. With such union of action, the cat tie trail across the Colorado Valley, into the western portion of California, can be opened so that not on y feeders, but also fat cattle can be driven in safety to their destination. When $4 per head can be saved, and with 50 per cent. less loss, t will pay our stock dealers to drive, rather than ship by the railroads. It is probably that when the trail is opened, the railroad company vii! get its ears and eyes opened and see that it is, CT will be for their interest to. make rates SC that it can control this immense busi- ness, which legitimately belongs to it, The Vaiis and Langs have demonstra- ted the fact that the trail is a grand success, even without a ferry or any more wells, The large drives now being gathered up, will advertise this fact still Letter.
