Programme for the Future-Mis-
fortunes of War.
PANAMA, Oct. 16.-The latest from
Lima concerning the captured prov
inces held by Chill is that Sonora Rosa
~Vayan, the widow of Correa, and many
of the principal ladies of Lima have de-
terminej to raise funds for the ransom
of the Peruvian provinces that were
taken by Chilli in the late international
war. Gillian advices say the different
political parties that initiated the revo-
luton are making draft of the pro-
gramme that is to be observed by the
new administration, and that they
will all sign, obligating them
selves to respect it, no matter who
gains the presidential election. This
programme does not tend to provide a
new system of administration; it merely
establishes thesgeneral principles that,
based on liberty, are to be observed by
the new political organization, and these
principals are: The right of suffrage,
punishment of any government official
who should interfere in the elections.
absolute independence of the three
chief authorities of the nation, SubmiS-
sion of the resolutions of the chambers,
responsibility of the presidents and their
ministers, reduction of the ordinary eX-
penseS, amortization of the foreign
debt. conversion of the national paper
currency into metallic currency, reduc-
ton of the army, augmentation of the
fleet, suppression Of unnecessary EN-
pigments, steady development of rail-
roads, amicable relations with all other
nations, Limitation of the diplomatic
service and establishment of CONNER
cial treaties with different nations.
Reports received at 1quique from the
South state that large number of
executions have occurred in Santiago
and Valparaiso in the last few weeks.
The victims were parties who had been
particularly active in their opposition
to the revolutiOnists, but none of them
were persons of any special promi-
nence. Vicuna, who was elected presi-
dent in the southern districts two
the representative of Balmaceda, is now
in CallaO.
Commercial affairs in Iquique and in
all other ports In the northern part of
Chila are in peculiar condition at the
present time. During the revolution
the ports in tie South of Chilli were
closed against those in the North, and
no produce of any kind was received
here from the South. Consequently large
cargoes, principally of flour and hay,
were imported here from San Francisco
and other foreign ports. More of these
articles were received here than could
be consumed at the time, and merchants
in Iquique, Antofogasta and other North
ern ports now have large stocks on
hand, which they are unable to dispose
of. In the last few weeks home prod
ucts have been coming in from the
Southern ports, and have found ready
sale, owing to their cheapaesS. and the
merchants here will doubtless suffer
heavy losses on their imported stocks.
American flour, which was imported
at greet expense, sold few mouths ago
for over $50 per sack, and now it cannot
be sold here for s.. American hay,
which was Imported, at an expense of
$40 a ton, is now replaced by Chiiian
hay, which sells at from Sc to IS ton.
There are some cargoes still on the way
from foreign countries, and some mer-
chants here have been forced to cable
the consignors, asking upon what
terms they will take back the goods now
in stock here.
