ON SANTIAGO CORRESPONDENCE.

SANTIAGO, Nov. 10, 1895.
In my last letter from this capital gave various
sons for discreding any and all reports indicating an
early termination Of the In the Pacific on tho basis
of English and french mediation. II is now quite GER
tain that no aaius,mcn. Of the difficulties between Spain
and the allied republics will be effected soon, IL at
ALL without renewal OF hos;ilties Senior Pacheco the
Peruvian Minister of Foreign Relations who arrived
here some timc since prevent the Chile government
from accepting French aud English mediation, has
turned Peru evidently satisfied with the result of his
efforts: and we now hear Of willingness on the
part of this administration TO settle with SPAN by me-
collation. There is little doubt but for the decided
stand taken BY Peru against such peace is proposed
by France and England Chile would have been induced
n withdraw from the alliance. The objections TO such
step on the part Of Chile embraced a declara-
ton that Peru and the other republics OF
the alliance would not only regard the pro-
posed peace being dishonorabls TO Chile as a
nation but violation Of her faith with her sister States
II was under those circumstances that the radical men,
bers Of the Chile Congress made strong but unsuc-
csssful effort to effect in the government change Of
men on policy calculated to the harmony for
merry existing between the and the people
After several days discussion they defeated by
Of thirtytwo against twelve The subject however,
is not yet settled 10 the general satisfaction.
THE AIlEam PLAN or OPERATIONS
10 he nauguraied involved In the same uncertainty
that chsracterzes the designs Of the Spanards Prepa
rs,ons being made board tho ships or the allied
squadron for early departure from Valparaiso but In
what direction one eau tell The condition Of tine
squadron Ne still uncompmcntary 70 tho naval enter
prise OF the alliance and unfortunately does not
courage many saneuine expectations. There Ia sur
prsing lack Of discipline among the ships and the
scarcity Of seamen s cvil felt be
than the ineisency Of the and many OF the on
now on duty. The ships dirty the crews are
idle and the whole squadron swings anchor in the
hsror OF Valparaiso, with less activity and regard for
naval excellence than should characterize war
In time OF peace These evils patent even 10 civil
ans who visit the ships and subject OF wonder 10 the
officers Of foreign men ofwar 10 the bay.
