NEE YoRE, July 7,-Nsws from Lima
under date Of June l5ih 10 to the effect
that the conference between the Peruvian
Minister for Foreign ARlirs and the
American representative, Mr.. ohristiaucy,
bad not then terminated. A press agent
at Lima ssys: Although the indications
made by the Department Ofsta's at Wsth.
ington with reference to the recognitionO Of
the provisional government OF Peru by
the United States are certainly borne out
by the condition Of atf irs here, there has
been no official determination, much to
the disappointment Of all concerned. The
other foreign representatives having an
inkliDg Of what 10 going on await the re-
suit oi their American colleague'a initia'
tive, and should the recognition be re-
solved upon by Mr.. ohristispcy, full
power TO 10 determine having been
conferred upon him, the rsmain,
ing foreign legations would quickly f,llow
the example given. The moral effect OF
such action would be immense, and would
really be oi greater benefit to Peru, 10 the
way Of consolidating the government and
