Fight on Peru.

SAN Francisco, Nov. "a firm OF Brit-
ish shipping agents here If said 20 have

porting that an engagement IL in progress
between British and japanese and German
warships on Yauyas, Peru. II is reported
that rumors OF the earlier engagement be-
tween the British and German squadrons
OFF Corone are confirmed.
An exhaustive inquiry among shipping
agents and all those who probably would

OF Yauyas. which strangely enough is
eighty miles inland.
