LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,

LIMA, PERU, SEPT. IA, 1881.
Hon. James g. Blaine, Secretary of State,
Sir-I acknowledge the receipt of your
dispatch, No., dated August 4, 1881, in re-
lation to certain alleged claims upon
the government of Peru as to cOchet claims
of this legations. as nothing but vague and
sweeping statements better adapted to anv
judicial or quasi judicial action
have been favored with two very extra
ordinary letters and some printed documents
emanating from Mr.. J. Shepherd to which
reply BY this mall asking for specific state
ments as to the origin, character and extent
of the claims and proofs in support of it,
In the Landeau case the proofs are suf-
ficient and the condition in which the Peru
Wan government have left the complainant
forms just ground for the decided appeal to
their justice shall follow the directions in
your dispatch and interpose in behalf of this
and all other American claims if any negotia.
ton takes place between Peru and Chill
which involves the loss of territory / shall
take special care that this claim and the at
titude of the United States in respect to it
be officially made known to the proper au-
thorities of both governments. beg leave
to call your special attention to the extracts
given as an enclosure to this form. OF the
letter of Mr.. J. X. Shepherd to me. dated
Aug. 10, 1881, need not say that if any
such arrangement was in fact made, that it
would seem proper that should be officially
notified of it. As vet have not received
from your department any telegram what
| ever. nor any instructions except in your No
:, which certainly do not touch the very
strong points rep orted to me by Mr.. Shep-
herd. As at present advised have no faith
whatever, IN the Peruvian Company" not
much in Mr.. j. X. Shepherd. and am wholly
in the dark as to the honesty or dishonesty of
the Cochet claim. If half his statement is
true and the United States assume charge of
the claim,we should own Peru by a mortgage
which can never be paid

The correspondence between Mr.
Blaine and Mr.. Christiapcy puts an end to
the silly and malicious story that Mr..
Blaine's official dispatch of May 9th to
Mr.. Christaincy did not contain the first
paragraph as recently quoted. Some pa
pers that lose no opportunity to malign
Mr.. Blaine represented him as having
forged it. But Mr.. Christiancy upon being
interrogated by Mr.. Blaine answers that
he had not seen the statement imputed TO
him (Christiancy), that it was entire
" unauthorized by him, and that
he has not the slightest doubt that the
paragraph in question was contained in
his letter Of instructions. As to the state
ment about Mr.. Christiancy's recognition
of the Calderon government, Mr.. Blaine
states that Mr. Christiancy never had any
instructions to recognize the Calderon
government except upon certain con
ditions, the fulfiiment Of which by Peru
was left to be determined by Christiancy.
That Mr.. Christiancy did recognize
the Calderon government is shown be-
yond dispute by the publication Of his
letter in which he officially expressed such
recognition. The publication Of the cor
respondence between Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Christiancy. and the official letter Of the
latter recognizing Calderon, ends n batch
r 81 e., lt mt ont n the
papers to injure the retiring Secretary of
State. 1t is by no means the first attempt
made to destroy Mr.. Blaine's reputation,
and we presume it will not be the last.
though he has now become but private
citizen.

THE VIENNA CALAMITY.
The MisapprehensiOns Regarding the
Escape of the Audience.

VIENNA, Dec. II.
The official report of the board of works of
the Ring theatre disaster says the chief en-
gineer asked two policemen at the main en-
trance of the Ring theatre whether anybody vas
Within and received the reply that the whole
audience left safely. This statement was
apparently confirmed by the fact that no per-
sons were seen near the entrance of the
building. The fire brigade subsequently en-
tered the galleries, but the air was suffocat-
ing, and it was impossible to penetrate the
passages, as the torches went out for want
of oxygen, and the firemen were unable to
breathe. The report expresses the convic-
tion that the audience died speedily from
suffocation.
A correct list of the victims of the Ring
Theatre fire has been issued by the police.
The total number was 794; only l44 have
been identified.

with what show of reason can England be
required to allow the highway between two
