EXPLORATION OF THE UPPER AMAZON.

LIMA. PERU, Oct 13 1874.
Admiral Tucker, now in New York preparing the
maps OF his extended explorations Of the Upper
Amazon, arrived within o comparatively short
distance, on those unknown rivers, OF the Peruvian
fort OF Chanchamayo.
THE PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED,
as proposed by President Pardo's government,
was to determine the easiest means Of commune
cation between the projected terminus OF the
great Transandine Railway, more popularly
known as the "Oroya" and the headwaters OF the
Peruvian afluents of the Amazon. This was in
part calculated by Admiral Tucker but for more
perfect knowledge OF the savage regions lying be-
tween the point reached by the Admirals party
and the fort new expedition has been
organized by the government to carefully explore
the rivers Parena, ChanchamayO and Tambo. The
expedition Is composed OF an engineer OF the Re-
public, Mr. Wertheman, Major Rivera, ten rine-
men, and sufficient number OF bOatmen, chain
bearers, &c.
The party will "take to the water,n literally
speaking, IN the primitive canoes employed IN tnat
far section OF the Republic at the fort OF Cnancha
mayo, or San Ramon, as 1t is sometimes called !;
Will descend the river to the confluence OF the
Ucayan runs IN Q broad and navigable stream to
1quit0s where II joins the South American Father
OF Waters, the great Amazon.
THE MAIN OBJECT
OF the exploration Is to discover whether Il NAV
be possible to bring small steamers from IquitOs
to the junction formed BY the river Parena with the
river Tambo, fifteen miles east from the Fort San
Ramon, thus connecting, although in an indirect
manner by water, the outlying districts OF the
Republic with her frontier on Brazil.

THE GERKAN DIPLOMATIC QUARREL.

WASHINGTON. D. c. Nov. O. 1874.
Baron schl0zer Denies the Arrest at
Bismarck's Order of Won Arnim's
Under Secretary in St. louisa Silly
Canard.
Baron Schlozer, the German Minister explicitly
and unequivocaly denies that there is the slight
est foundation for the statement published to-day,
to the erect that young German, formerly Under
Secretary OF Count Won Arnim, had been arrested
In this country at the instlgation OF Prince Bis
marck, and while denying tn toto the allusion to
the Legation declares that nothing could be more
absurd than the published canard. It was sug.
gested that probably the report had Its origin for
eject on the elections, though the Baron could
mot understand which political party would be
benefited by it. The counterpart to such
nonsense, the Baron thinks would be
the publication In Europe tomorrow that
the President, through the State Department. had
ordered all the foreign bound steamers sailing
from New York on Saturday last not to land pas
sengers on arriving out, but to return to New
York. 80 that the nameless young German, myste-
riously arrested by order Of Prince Bismarck ana
with the Baron's connivance In st. Louis, and
who deposited the important papers with name

required to deliver himself to Mr.. Lanergan on
board the nameless steamer on some nameless
day, but before Congress meets in December.
