GILLIAN PAPERS OK PRESIDENT ARTHUR'S POLICY.
PANAMA, Dec. 23.-There Is no doubt that P.croia
Will not return to Peru and his partiSans are so in
cenSed that many or them have gone over to the
other leaders.
The Pierola committee met and discussed Piero-
las telegram from New York to the effect that he
would not return, and finally determined to do
nothing, although several were in favor or APP
pointing IgleSfaS in his place. The conferences
with the Secretary OF State in Washington and
President Arthurs message must have convinced
Plerola that he had little chance Of receiving
s1stance. and so he gave the matter up and re-
fused to visit Peru under the circumstances.
Minister Logan continues to work ON behalf OF
peace. All his actions are known to be extra
Official, but their effects are more evident tia
have been those OF all the other ministers COM
bined.
Gillian papers publish President Arthurs COM
menfS on the war, and neutralS consider that his
declarations will have pacfying effect, and thai
the ChlianS will work more energetically in the
direction OF peace. Plerola may De considered as
having lost all political influence, and not to be
dangerous on an enemy OF peace. MOnterOs offer
to cede Tacna and africa to Bolivia, If the latter
will remain faithful to the alliance, Is laughed at
by Chilians and regarded with disgust by Peru
vians. The propositions will never be carried into
effect.
