Why Spain Makes war ON Chill.
The quarrel between Spain and Chill is e

The quarrel between Spain and Chill Is eX-
planned by the NevYork Commercial Aduer-
tiser as follows: s4:
A brief glance at Che rise and progress Of
this struggle will enable us to more clearly
comprehend the present situation. In the
month of March, 1864, the Peruvian Govern
ment became involved with Spain in regard
to certain questions arising out of claims Of
Spanish residents against Peru. A local dis
pute had arisen at6Talambo between some
Peruvian land owners and Spanish colonists,
in which two persohs were killed and four
wounded. The Peruvian Courts at once pro.
ceeded to investigate the matter, but the
Spanish Government evidently in search Of a
pretext, interfered in the case while the in
vestieation was going On, and ultimately sez.
ed Chincha Island. ,Insolent demands were
acceded to by the Government but the indig.
nant people overthrew the Government, and
when the new President did not act with suf-
fcient celebrity in wiping out the disgrace, they
overthrew him too, and elected to power the
present incumbent; who signalized bis advent
by declaring war forthwith against the inva-
der and joining in analliance with Chilli The
latter had early in the controversy shown
strong sympathy for Peru, allowing, among
other acts the Peruvian war ships to receive
coal and enlist men in ValparaisoI while coal
was refused to the Spanish vessels, because it
had been declared contraband of war.
The Spaniards were, therefore, indignant
at the Chilans, andsas soon as the PeruVians
had acquiesced in their urgent demands, they
turned their attention to the former, expect
ing that they would aknuckle under" without
ceremony. On the Eth of September, 1865,
Admiral Pareja dispatched long communi-
cation from on board his flagship to the Chill.
ian Minister, in which he complained of the
partiality in the matter of supplying coal to
the Peruvians, and further, that insulting
cries and threats against Spain were permit
ted with impunity, in front of the residence
in Valparaiso, Of theSpanish Legation. Ad-
miral Pareja then proceeded to say that un-
less the Chilians apologized for these acts,
and 'one of the forts of the republic sa-
luted the Spanish ensign with q salvo of
twenty-one guns" var at once would be de-
clared. The hig gh-spirited Chilians at once
spurned these insolent demands and forth
with proceeded withsgreat enthusiasm to pre-
pare for struggle with Spain. Though a
blockade was Immediately established, Ad-
miral Pareja was utterly unable to make it
effective; end finally, when squad of daring
Chlian sailors captured the Covadonga, ne
was so mortified and chagrined that he ended
his life with Deripger.

For himself, if he had the power, the first
thing he would do would be to seize the New
York Neaos and other kindred sheets, which
are moving the south so dangerously with an
idea of their own position and right. Troops
must be kept in all the principal roi IT'S in the
South for some time to come. This will be
necessaryto repress the turbulence of class
Of the South very dangerous to all weH dis
posed persons, and also to protect the rights
of the freedmen, who are looked upon with
deep hatred by a very large proportion OF
the people.
