LIMA, August 20, 1873.
The famous case of the Peruvian ship Maria Luz,
which met with such inhOspitable treatment at
the hands Of the Japanese authorities on account
Of her cargo OF Chinese coolies, Is again before the
public, but now in highly satisfactory light Re-
cent dispatches from Captain Garcia y Garcia,
the Peruvian Plenipotentiary to His Majesty Of
JeddO inform this government OF the important
fact that the
.r FINAL PROTOCOL OF ADJUSTMENT
was signed on the 10th OF July last by which the
two Interested parties s0lemnly agree to refer the
differences to the arbitration OF the Car OF all the
Russias, and 1t is understood that this potentate
authorized. in measure, the use OF his
august name. According to the diplomatic
notes which have been exchanged and
the conferences which have been held be-
tween WOOjenO, Minister Tor Forein Affairs for
Japan and Captain Garcia. the imperial govern
ment has emphatically declared that no insult was
intended TO the dignity OF Peru, and consequently
the question Is reduced to mere settlement OF the
pecuniary liability OF the Empire to the aggrieved
Peruvian mariners. This termination OF the deli
cate mission entrusted to the charge or Captain
Garcia Is highly appauded here, and In Jeddo many
compllmented him on the success achieved. II it
Is honorable for Peru that such happy solution
OF the ENHANCEMENT has been arrived at, 1t Is
equally gratify ing to witness the rare example OF
an Eastern empire adjusting such difficulties by
following the dictates OF reason without having
the guns OF the enemy shOtted and ready for the
energetic interference hitherto almost always
employed.
The members OF
THE PERUVIAN LEGATION
have received the most distinguished attentions
from the Mikado and his Court-banquets, excur-
sions and hundred other civillties were show
cred upon them. Up to the burning Of the grand
palace their life was one continued round Of fest
vities, but that unfortunate event not only ser-
ousy interered with the negotiations but put
sudden stop to all amusements. Nevertheless
am assured by some Of the attaches, who have re-
turned, that the life Of diplomat in Japan, Ordi-
narily speaking is excessively dull, and only is
existence tolerable to those residents more &C
lively engaged in mercantile pursuits.
Captain Garcia should now be on his road
TO PEKN
where he is to negotiate with the Prince Kung. the
Chinese Tallyrand. In return for the guarantees
which Peru now offers for the proper treatment of
the Cinnamon arriving at her shores and her
promise to repatriate them when their term of
service may have expired, Captain Garcia Will
solicit from China the privilege OF engaging labor
ers in her northern ports, where the men are Jar
murderers and lepers now brought out by the cOole
ships Ii Is not generally believed, however, that
the request will be granted.
THIS TRAFFIC. IN COOLIES
although Indispensable for the proper develop
has many and grave defects. Cruelty and force
figure prominently among these faults; but II the

enough common sense not to injure their own
- DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED orFIcER
The Republic has met with severe loss in the
fearful death OF Colonel Batasar La Tore, the Pre-
feet OF CuZcO. This gallant gentleman, one OF the
most accomplished offcers In the service OF Peru.
pasrioticaly undertook to lead,an expedition into
de bios on the Atlantic slope OF the AIDES, hoping
not only to gain a knowledge OF this hitherto un.
explored district, hut 70 instil some notions of
civilization among the canntbals After q series Of
exciting adventures the prospect appeared bright
the words OF peace. suddenly, however, the un-
for .unate party were lured into an ambuscade and
La Tore fell pierced by thlrty-three arrows, his
secretary and surgeon perishing at his side The
remainder or the expedition escaped. profound
impression has been caused by thus sad event, and
visit the Indians with the summary punishment
they deserve. ,.f
The attempt made by Commander Bedoya to
disturb the public peace at AyacuChO signallv
tailed. The rebels counted without their host;
stead Of receiving the sympathy and support Of the
people they were met on every side with open re-
slstance and repulse. The Protects OF the different
adjoining departments fastened with their troops
and national guards to hem In the insurgents the
division despatched from Lima cut of retreat to
the coast, and the last advlces BedOya, with his
few followers, twO-thirds of the original number
having deserted the failing cause, was hastily fall
ing back TO the mountains, where he hoped to be
enabled to find refuge and from whence his men
might disperse In safety.
INDUSTRIAL INCREASE.
AS proof OF the steadily increasing prosperity
OF Peru the following official statement may be
cited :-During the first six months OF the present
year the receipts from the different custom houses
amounted to the sum of 4,l4O,O 600 soils IA sol is
about ninty-fve cents Of an American gold dOllar),
an increase OF nearly twenty per cent over the
important establishments organized by President
Balta, such as the National Agricultural Institute,
the Cbancay Railway, the government printing
ONCE naval factories, &C., steady though not very
large revenue is received, while, at the same tlme
the benefits derived from these institutions by the
public are immense.
The people in Iquque, and the saltpetre produc-
ing province of Tarapaca, are fmanlestlng consd
cradle discomfort as the time approaches for the
enforcement OF the law establishing restriction
the expectation OF nitrate, lull reports OF which
have already been sent to the HERALD. The whole !
secret OF this disapprobation lies In the aversion
with which Chile views the measure, since up to
the present the Valparaiso merchants have had a
monopoly OF this valuable trafiic, and now Peru
vans will be enabled to gain some advantage from
their own product. No serious trouble Is appre-
hended.
The revolt in the Province Of Ayacucho against
the existing government has been completely sup
pressed, and peace reigns throughout the entire
Republic. The failure 20 place the entire amount
OF the late loan on the markets OF Europe, and the
scarcity OF money throughout the Republic con-
tinues to have most depressing effect on busi-
ness OF every Kind
FINANCE
The latest advices from Europe were that about |
f10 OF the loan had been taken at sixty per
cent, but this sum is too small to have any power
in relieving the present monetary pressure.
EXPORT DUTIES.
without being violent, the resistance OF the
Province OF Tarapaca TO the proposed estanco or
monopoly OF the expectation OF nitrate OF soda has
proved to be so influential tnat the government
has determined to reconsider the matter, and, 1t
Is currently reported, proposes to observe a mas
tery Inactivity until the next session OF Congress,
In July, 1874. Recently two commissioners were |
despatched to lquique the centre OF the saltpetre
producing section. TO inaugurate the estdnco,
which, IN virtue Of the provisions OF the law,
should go into effect from the 1st OF september
next. The gentlemen were received with such |
unequivocal marks OF hostility that one ol them
returned Immediately to Lima and laid before the
President the facts OF the case that 1t was hazard
