feru and Bolivia F,nd Things Getting Too
Quiet Down There.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-South American
diplomats in Washington are much inter-
ested In the press reports that Bolivia has
presented an ultimatuEl to Peru which
tbs latter has rejected, and that Bolivia
md Ecuador have formed an alliance
with tho prospect of making war Oh Peru.
Peru's former strength has disappeared
since her war with Chile. Tho Chileans
took all the Peruvian warships, and It is
believed that one old transport is all that
remains of the Peruvian navy. The army
Is said to number about 4 OOJ men. Bolivia
has no navy. and her army Is said to be
about the same as that Of Peru. She Is.
entirely inland since the war with Chile,
when Chilo took possession of those
provinces which had formed Bolivia's
coast line.
Ecuador is said to be in good fighting
trim, as she has just emerged from a revo-
luton and all her people are in arms. But
her navy is insignificant, her only good
warshIp having bccn sold to Japan some
months ago. IL looks, therefore, to those
conversant with the situation that these
three crippled countries would not en-
gage In very formidable war. They can.
not fight by sea, and there are great
stretches Of desolate and mountainous
country between them. Chile is in no
way interested in the trouble. Tho last
war appears to Eave established her firm.

SPRINGFIELD, Ius.. July 12.-Governor
Altgeld had u narrow escape from death
or serious injury yesterday. He had Just
mounted a spirited horse preparatory to
going to Camp Lincoln to review the
Second regiment when the onimal began
to rear in a dangerous manner. The gov
ernor thrust spurs into the animal with
considerable -igor, and it reared up to
such height that it lost its balance and
fell over backwards.
The governor, who is an expert horse
man, slipped out of the saddle and sprang
to one side just in time to avoid being
crushed. A cavalry troop was waiting to
escort him to the camp, and several of
the men started to his assistance, but the
governor declined to take any other
horse and regaining his seat when
the horse was captured subdued it after
a severe struggle and proceeded to camp.
