General Ramon Castillo.
General Castillo, whose death was recently
announced In our paper, was one OF the most
celebrated statesmen OF South America. He
was born on the 3lst of August, 1897 at Yaya-
paca, on the frontier of Bolivia. When the war
OF independence broke out Castillo was a cap
tain In the Spanish army. He at once Joined
his countrymen, and greatly distinguished him
self under General San Martin In the establish
ment of Peruvian freedom. In 1890 he began to
& take an setive part In the politics Of his
1884. betrayed his country to santa
Cruz, the President of Bolivia. Still greater
distinctions he won when he raised, in 1874, the
standard of the Constitution against the Dicta-
tor VIvanco. In this latter contest he met with
complete success in consequence of which he
was in l845 elected President. The six years OF
his administration were the happiest which
Peru had yet seen. They passed without an
attempt at an insurrection. and many impor-
tant reforms were carried through. The negroes
received equality of rights, the Indians were
freed from oppressive burdens, capital punish
ment was abolished, and freedom of the press
secured. In 1854, Castillo headed an tnsurrectlon
against his successor Echenique, and drove
him from power. In 1853 he was reelected
President, and again introduced many import
ant reforms In 1851. he unsuoessfully endea-
vored TO annex Bolivia When the French in
vaded Mexico, Castillo denounced them in a
violent manifesto, and offered to Juarez m en
and money. In 1855 Castillo was arrested by
President Pezet, as involved in conspiracy, and
sent into exile. In 1867, he put himself at the
Head OF an insurrection against the administra-
tion of Governor Prado, and he seemed to have
prospects of entire success, when he suddenly
diedi in consequence of too great fatigue. On
learning the news of his death, men OF all
parties, the President of the Republic included
expressed the greatest grief at the loss which
the Republic had suffered by his death. Castillo
is one of the last of the representative men who
planned and carried through the independence
OF South America.
