"What is the truth" asked the reporter, with
regard TO the statements made in certain papers as
to the massacre by the Chians of the Italians Eng
lish and French who in the Peruvian Army at
the battles of Chorillos and Mirahorcsp
"This statement is wholly false. The fact is that
there were very few foreigners in the Peruvian
Army and il is clear that the Cbilians could not
have massacred people who were not there. he
lieve there were few Italians in the Peruvian
Army and it is only natural To suppose that they
were killed as their fcllow-soldiers The Eng
lsh French and Italian Ministers at Santiago have
never been informed Of any such occurrence. 1t is
all an invention the part OF the Peruvans III ran

"Not al ALL Up 10 the time Of the sailing OF the
last steamer no conference looking toward an ar
ranccmcnt of the terms of peace had taken
