FRoM COLOMBIA. Extract Of letter
from Guayaouil, dated June "a, 1928, recelv-
ed in this town. AT
aWar appears still very probable with
Peru. but the poverty Of both countries al
fords some hope that it may he avoided.
Want of means now alone prevents the Co.
lombians from invading Peru. Gen: Flores
is daily expected here, and he will soon
march 10 the frontiers. The forces on the
frontiers of Peru and Colombia are nearly
equal, hut suppose the troops of the latter !
are much the best disciplined. AS the Peru |
vians are superior at sea Guayaquil will !
probably be blockaded. The Peruvian !
fleet was pl eparing for sea at Callao by last
accounts. If war takes place it will not last
long. One campaign will settle all differ
ences. What force does not accomplish
will he effected by bribery. There will
probably be revolution in Peru in favor of
Gen. Boivar's party, if the country is invad-
ed by Colomhians - Gazette.
