League Meeting,* to be field in England
and Scotland -Victor lingo's Appeal.
PARIS, Feb: 16. -Messrs. -Parnell and
O'Kelly have been busy all day receiving
French journalists. They have had long
interviews with MM. Veuillot, Clemenceau
and the celebrated per portraiturist of the
Figaro, " Ignotus." Mr. O'Kelly assures
me to -night that ever since the Land
Leaguers have been in Paris they have
been followed. day and night by Gov -
eminent detectives.. Mr. Parnell tele-
graphed to Dublin to -day to Contradict
the statement of - a London press
agency to the effect that the members
of tire Land League in Paris assert
- • that the agraria.0 outrageson Ireland were
annual comuiittoI by the Fenian -party to
iltural the cousti utional agitation organized by
tile Land Beague, and tha-t the revolver
carried by Michael Davitt was to protect
-him against a possible Fenian atta,ek. No
member of the Land League executive has
made any .such statements. Messrs. Par-
nell and O'Kelly leave for Londoe in the
morning-, to oppose tire .Coercion bill in
committee in the House of Commons.
At the dinner which he gave to Mr. Par-
nell to-uight Victor Hugo pledged himself
to write an appeal to the world in favor of
-Ireland similar to that which be published
in favor of Poland. It will i robably appear
next week.
Losnoas, Feb. 16. -At -a meeting of the

evening about 6 o'clock C. Kihgster, aged
60, a.worthy and respectable farmer, living
about four miles from here, in the heat of
passion brought on by one of the
many quarrels between himself and wife,
shot her and afterward.; shothlinself. She
lived about two hours, but he expired at
once. It seems they have not been living
in harmony for sometime, and it is sup-
posed it was through a disagreement and
trouble over a will that he bed recently
made that resulted in his temper getting
the better of him, and of his conon;qing

PANAMA, FCb. 12. -Passengers from the
South Pacific state that on January 13th,
at 4 o'clock a. m. the Chilians, wider cover
of a fog, surprised the Peruvians. They
first attacked the Peruvian centre with the
bayonet. • The Perm iau right wing retired
disordered to Chotillos. The left wing held
its ground until outflanked by the third
Chiliad) column, through which the Peruv-
ians were compelled to cut their way out to
unite with the portion of the reserves occu-
pying a strong position behind earthworks
four miles from Chorines. This position
was soon captured. It only remained for
the battle of Miraflores to temove the last
barrier to Lima. The defenders of Mira-
flcites numbered/ four thousand regulars
and Six thousand young business men and
property owners of Lima. They made a
brave stand for five bouts, but were finally
cutto pieces. Miraflores and Chorines and
Larranes Were burned. Pierola, com-
mander and president of Peru, fled with an
escort, and is now in the interior. He gave
orders that if any Peruvian officers in corn -
:mend of the ships desired to save them by
flight they were privileged to do go. 'None
made the atternpt, and on the surrender of
Lima, the ships were blown up with con-
siderable loss, it -is. said, to the invaders,
General La Cetera; commanding the Pern-
vian -reserve, was . aecused sof -treason and
cowardice, andlorced to take 3;e111.1ge inthe
