The efforts OF DR.. Ureta, who has presented him
self as q civil candidate for the next Presidency In
opposition to Pardo and all comers are unceasing.
and begin TO produce some effect For many years
Dr. ureta has been occupying the highly important
post Of Attorney General OF the republic such mas
been his ability and application in the discharge OF
the duties of this once that administra'
tions differing radically in political opinions nave
found IL advantageous retain his services ana no
holds an enviable reputation Tor iePai iearhins'
But at the time he has never lost an oppor'u-
nifty to use all the power AZ Ills GULL
mand in defeating the claims OF ioreign-
ers against the nation. even III many
cases where the government, unable to
endorse the apparent injustice Of his reasoning, has
been Obliged - listen the request and indemnify
the injured party. Such proceeding while IN sub.
ordinate position does not argue well for his posi-
bic conduct II elevated to the Presidency more es
peciay at time when Peru has larger number OF
foreigners within her limits than at any previous
period, and when every day the interests Of those
foreigners In the country increasing in value and
Importance desperate effort is beng made by his
supporters to enlist the sympatnies and powerful
aid of the Church party; but that organization skill
fully directed, is apparently waiting to dis.
cover the candidate most liberal In offers
OF recipIocatlon before entering into the
conflict. Ureta was Secretary OF State under Grand
Marshal Castillo when that old warrior issued the
decree emancparng all Peruvian slaves. This is
paraded before the people as evidence OF the
broad republican principles held by the Attorney
General; but unfortunately, the pecuniary history
OF that otherwise laudable transaction Is too recent
70 admit OF any very gushing enthusiasm. In the
meantime Mr.. Pardo, who really resembles an
American rather than Peruvian politician. Is unre.
uniting In his campaigning labOrs. From nearly oil
81 the most p0pul0us and important sections OF the
republic he has received promises Of support
aud adhesion. and his friends In Lima are
sturdy in their asseverations that victory already
has selected his banner as on airy domicile.
The nUte unpeasantness that took place In the Bay
Of Callao on the morning OF the 18th instant, and
ALLUDED to in my last correspondence has proved TO
be much more serious affair than at first gen.
orally supposed. The facts OF the case are these
At about two O'Clock on that morning a shore boat
was observed by the lookout on the tron-ca frgate
lndependencia cruising between her and the monitor
Huascar. 1t had been whispered Tor some days pre-
vlousy that preparations on foot for an at.
tempt to seize the last-named vessel, and with this
element OF strength secure the remainder OF the
Peruvian navy and proclaim revolution in ia
yor OF Prado, now eXiled In Chile. But the
scheme appeared SO preposlerously absurd anu the
probabilities Of success desperate that the rumor
was treated as an inenectual hoax However, when
the commander OF the Independence was notified
Of the presence OF the strange boat at that I'M
usual hour, he Immediately ordered the barge to be
manned and sent in pursuit Of the suspicious craft
This was no sooner commanded than effected; the
boat was lowered and pushed out rapidly toward
the stranger. On halling the latter the only re.
spouse given was pistol shot, which severely
wounded one OF the men In the barge,
and IN the confusion gave the pursued
some moments OF advantage. These were well en-
pioyed the iugltives reached the SIDE Of the Ameri

navy, and hs associates persons OF the class.
Although Peru mas been the unfortunate scene u |
many attempts at revolt, II Is universally admitted
that such haic-bralned, rid culous PROJECT has
ever been put In execution In the recollection OF the
Oldest inhabitant II has been proved tnat there
no connivance with the plan On the part OF |

OF eleven men, armed with reyoyers attempting 10

Pardo, now IN Chile. has no more IDEA OF again

more than satisfied with his last ex perence. IL

Cured, since the universal condemnation Of the
attempt OF the principle by the people and press

OF the steadfastness Of Peru in her desire for per-
feet peace alleged by perez's trends that he
is insane, and indeed, this would appear TO be the
only charitable solution To be admitted OF 10y The
aGair. All excitement concerning IL has died away.

Regarding the result OF the peace conference at
Washington public opinion here Is ve,y much
divided. Ii - more than probable, as am assured
by those IN the confidence of the guvernmt mt, that
the armIstice VIII be accepted and VIII subslst, but
that no denn1tive peace Will be made between the
Powers represented ia the conference. The reason
for this determination In the Peruvian case IS that
should peace be preached spain would certainly IN
sist upon the payment OF the claims ned by her sub
iects against Peru OF the primary spuIations.
These Claims, for the most part, date back to The
time OF the war for Independence, when many
spaniards thought proper TO leave then property,
when Ny remaining ana obeyIng the laws OF The
conguerers no danger would have been run. And
tnese claims amount TO more Than 400, 900, 0oU
