respectable person has voted and from the further fact that
of all those entitled vote not in 500 has done So
The Administration Of Prado unpopular, not much
bis own account-for believe that he means we-ss on
that Of bis Cabinet which is miserable affair. The
election Of President proceeds without opposition, because
The opposing candidates Col. Bats and Gen. Vargas

1he Castle Of Caao and the former sent into Boya on
exile with some 20 others leading men IN the country
There is 70 be no Vice President elected 1t is also
asserted that steps have been taken 70 arrest Gen. Castillo
1he General is however, in the hands Of his OVID people
and force that Prado can send Will be able 70 arrest
him His province has notified the rest Of Peru that they
@ take part in the present elections because they are
Illegal and that they win recognize the results Of them
This IL bold stand, which has significance that Col.
Prado well understands that IT, that he will have 70 meet
Gen. Castillo in the field rsk by the way IL Is very IN

The proposition made by the English and French Minis

10 smash up their old fashioned ships and forts The
whole aeet will leave the Pacific for me Atlantic and
sufficiently protected by the forts when are now IN tho

with the Spanisrds Prado will no doubt make capital
out Of this and seek If possible TO regain MS popularity
by another victory over the Spaniards.
