MURDER OF 2000 CHINESE IN PERU.
The Star and Herald , of Panama, saya that a war of races has broken out in the Valley of Canate, in Peru, where more than 2000 Chinamen were barbarously murdered by Negroes and Choloso. On one plantation GOO inoffensive men were murdered in cold blood, and all the canefields, sugar-houses, machinery, &c., were burned, and property to the value of millions have been wrecked. The Arancanian Indians are now on the war-path. They engaged a squadron of Chilian cavalry, and twelve troopers were killed. The crops have been burned, the cattle driven off, men, women, and children killed, and all the revolting savagery of Indian warfare indulged in.
