Peruvian Matters,

WASHINGTON, December 17.-Ssnor FL
more. Peruvian Minister here, has received
cable advices from Lima, informing him
that ex-Dictator Pierola left Peru about ten
days ago and that he had relinquished all
claims 10 the Presidency of that country
No mention was made in the des-
patch concerning Pierola's destination, but
there is, he says, every reason to believe
that he is going to- Europe. Respecting
Pierola's alleged claims to the Presidency
of Peru, Senior Gilmore says that he doubts
whether Pierola ever seriously en-
tertained any such claims, as it is
not in Pierola's nature to submit to consti-
tutional restrictions. Besides, he says the
people of Peru, as shown in their meetings
in various provinces favoring constitutional
government OF Calderon. left the ex- Dictator
no other alternative than that of leaving
Peru. Pierola's most intimate friends,
Senior Elmore asserts, advised him to
take this patriotic step, when they,
as all Peruyians, become convinced
that the United States had decided
to assist Psru in establishing
the constitutional government aud that
Chilli, by series of hostilities against
President Calderon, which eliminated in
his arrest, was endeavoring to prevent the
establishment of the constitutional
government in that country.
