A SAVIOR FOUND FOR PERU
his Sad But Patriotic Appeal to the Peo-
ple-EcuadOr ieted-smalI-POx in
Colombia.

PANAMA, October 25.-The news from
Peru is unsatisfactory. The Monteneros
continue their raids on friend and foe, and
the Chilians continue to capture them and
70 hang and shoot them by dozens. The
so-called leading politicians hang back, and
Gareia Calderon, who, through the inter
cession OF Mr.. Logan, has had opportunity
70 sign peace, now refuses to concede the
Chilisn demands, which have Of late been
wonderfully moderated. The Gillian offer
to assume the settlement of all foreign
claims has brought into the field q host of
claimants. DecYfus s. Co. figure at the
head OF the list. The condition Of affairs
has at length brought to the front a man
who will speak the truth.
Iglisias, formerly the Minister of War of
PierOla, then captured by the Chilians. then
released on parole, which he broke, and
lately commander in the North, has called
congress OF the seven Northern depart
mentsi In order to determine II peace should
be made. In proclamation he has issued
be urges the necessity for peace, and con-
cludes by one Of the most piteous, though
trutnlul statements any public man has ever
naQ yet 10 make to his fellow countIymen.
After describing at length the course he
has pursued and the events which have
brought about the ruin OF the country, he
says:
"Under the present circumstances all
who wish to impose their idea on the cOun-
Try 0y force are traitors, as are also those
misery to preserve criminal power in
order to continue their horrible
work OF inspiring party hatreds and
keeping In power at the expense
o. the b'ood Of the people. Let US sincerely
aud truly be united for once. Let us throw
aside miserable party passion and endeayor
TO save our country from a common danger.
Ine public men Of Peru have brought about
her ruin by constantly deceiving the
public. A so-called honor is spoken
OF which impedes any peaceable
arrangement by ceding territory, and in
order not to cede that piece of territory,
which represents q handful Of gold, the
source OF all our past corruption, we allow
the enemy's flag to hy from Tumbez on the
north to the Loa on the south, our homes to
be burned, our hearths deseerated, our tenn
pies profaned, and our mothers, daughters
and sisters 10 be insulted In order to
sustain this false honor. The Chilian at last
IS allowed to fall unsvenged upon our de-
fenseless brethren, and by this false honor
the widows and orphans of those who died
honorably In the field and who are now de-
are allowed to beg a livelihood from his
charity. All, you Cabinet warriors, you tsr-
room patriots, you hatehers of vile in
trtgues, you towards a thousand times over
who have produced this national disaster"
These expressions coming from such a
distinguished source will be greeted with
storm of disapprobation by the political
traders.
The Bolivian Congress is split in two fac
tlons by the same political maneuVering.
Two Executives have been formed, each
headed by Vice President, in the absence
Of the President, and as the matter has to
be settled by Congress the members are
amusing themselves by abusing one an
other. Campico has an army with him, and
will probably return to La Paz and again
take charge of the Presidency.
Buslnefs along the Peruvian coast is dull
in the extreme. The cochfneal mine in Chilli
cOu tinues to yield wOndrous returns.
Il. NJ. s. Rocket arrived on the 22d from
Acapulco. The United States steamer
Saratoga has sailed for Newport. The
Iroquois will not come to the isthmus. The
damage to the Panama Railroad by the
earthquake is estimated at eighty thousand
dollars.
The revolution in Ecuador is ended.
The Star and Herald publishes news from
Bogots that on the 9th instant there were
five hundred cases of smallpox in the
hospital, and that the disease prevailed
throughout the Atlantic States OF Colombia,
