URUGUAT,s ISsURRECT1oN ENDED
Government and Insurgents Have Ratified
Terms OF Peace.

According to a cablegram received by Thorn
Us A. Eddy of Flint, Eddy g. Co.. 90 Broad
street, Consul for Uruguay in this city. peace
has been declared between the Government Of
Uruguay and the insurgents. and has been rau.
fed by Congress.
A speedy termination, to the troubles in Uru.
quay was to have been expected after he as
sassination Of President Idiarte Borda on Aug.
go last. The Instruction began about eighteen
months ago, soon after President Borda's election
and was due to arbitrary acts Of misgov.
eminent on his part, according to the leaders
OF the insurgents. When overturcs toward
reconciliation were made by a Government
commission shortly before President Borda's
death. they fell through, as the first demand
Of the insurgents was that the President should
resign. He felt strong enough then to refuse,
and to try TO suppress his opponents by force.
His disappearance made it possible to renew
the negotiations. The late President. though
elected rs a colorado was a compromise
candidate, unpopular in his own party, as well
as disliked by the "blancos," his opponents.
The opposition to his government was in great
part personal matter. SO that the commissions
which have been trying to arrange a settle
mcnt since his death have found IL possible to
smooth over party differences for a time at
least. The terms of the qualification have not
yet been cabled.
