The lieutenant says: "Tbe death of Gar.

! great deal OF interest aud sympathy is mani
tested by the Russians. Last evening saw
Tomsk newspa ger, which said an allowance

The Peruvia n-ChtIe Maiter-Missing Let
ters Found.
WASHINGTON, March 17th.-The Secretary
of State reports to Congress that he has found
letter relating to the Peruvian Chilean
| matter from Horace N. Fisher to Seward
November IL, 1873. As relating to the sams
| subject the Secretary transmits copy of
| letter of the Sth inst from Horace N bisher,
with which he sent hither copies of two Of the
papers heretofore reported as missing, name
ly, his letters Of July 13 and IA, 1879, report
| ing the course Of events on the Pacific coast.
| l. will be observed that Fisher is not able to
! reproduce his letter of November, 1879,
having retained no copy thereof, but the orig.
| inal lettsr having been found, as explained
| above, the series Of Fishers letters is now
! complete. The Secretary of State also trans
mits, as coming apparently within the pur'
| view of the Senate resolution, a personal
note of the ChileSn Minister, Martinez, to
the late Assistant Secretary of State, dated
| November %, 1881. This paper seems to
have been overlooked by the clerks who col
| lected the correspondence previously submit
| ted. It is now laid before the President for
| transmission to the Senate, in order that the
| response of the Department of State to the
resolution Of December 18Th may be as COM
| plete as possible. A renewed and exhaustive
examination of the files has failed to show
| that any other pertinent papers had been re-
ceived prior to the date of the last
transmission, January 24ih, or to dis
cover any missing papers save the
letter from Fisher of November Z, 1879.
| Fishers first letter to Mr.. Seward dated off
| Guayaqui, July 13, 1879, relates to the ship
ment from New York of a torpedo boat for
the Peruvian navy, invoiced '' q launch for
the guano company at Callao. Fishers Sec
ond communication is merely detailed ac-
count of the situation as he found it upon
arriving at the Gusysquil fisheries. A letter
dated Lima, Chile, November z, 1879, and
addressed to Seward. says: 1.-The Governor
of this province has just shown me dis
patch Of Senior Santa Maria, Prime Minister
of Chile. This dispatch confirms officially
the successful landing of the Chilean
army at Possaguinian, Peru, and the
operations there. By last weeks mail l wrote
my old General, A. d. McCook, at the army
headquarters, explaining my views, and max.
| ing some important suggestions l requested
| him to confer with General Garfield, and
then, il they both approved the suggestion,
| to present the same to his friends, the Presi
| dent and General Sherman, and also to Sec
retary Eyarts. If you show General McCook
! this letter, and ask him, he will undoubtedly
show you it. The views there given are con-
! firmed even more strongly. and had 1 time
before the mail close L would send you copy
| Of it for your information. In my Judgment
the crisis of the war is close at hand, aud the
| opportunity alluded to in my letter to Cen
| eral McCook should be carefully considered
| Martinez, in his letter to HIT under date
| of Legation of Chile, Washington, November
%, 1881, says: l forgot yesterday to tell
| you what one of my friends in New York had
communicated to me. He tells me that Mr.
| Adams, Minister of the United States TO
| Bolivia, had given out that he carried in
| structions of great severity against Chile,
and that he hated Chat country. He added
| that in his opinion Chile should rot ask for
any other territorial annex alton in the desert
| than as far as the twenty third degree, and
| that it was necessary to have the guauo and
saltpeter worked by AN American company.
