AN INCIDENT WITH PERU CLOSED.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT CALLS FOR THE REsIG
NATION or THE CONSULAR AGENT WHO
ALLEGED ILL~TREATMENT.

Washington Dec 2.-Sccretary Sherman has
closed the case Of Emilio Clark consular agent at
Pura, Peru. which attracted much attention some
months ago. by calling for the resignation Of
Clark. On April q. Clark was ousted from the
quarters used as the United Staes consular office.
1t was said ct the time that the consulate had
been sacked. the house plundered and indig-
nifty put this Government through its repre-
sentative. Tho State Department promptly called
Mr.. Clark for particulars. which he said he
would furnish. The Peruvian Minister. Sefor
Eguiguren, put different phase on the matter by
submitting a sta tement that Clark was in arrears
TO a considerable amour; on rent for tie building.
that only the lower portion used for consular
purposes. although he had placed the United
States coat-of- arms all the doors of the house,
thus using the American emblem for ienobe pur-
poses The courts had given regular decree against
Clark, II said. directing him to vacate the
premises for non-payment of rent. and In pursu-
ance OF this decree he was elected.
Secretary Sherman waited until recently for Mr.
Ciark's statement, and as this vas not furnished
after five months he directed Mr.. Dudley. the
Minister at Lima. to call on Clark for his resigna-
ton unless the proofs of the alleged sacking were
given. Mr.. Dudley evidently had not received the
proofs for he has informed the State Department
that ne called on Mr.. Clark for his resignation.
