PERU STRENGTHENING HER NAVY.
Has She Designs Against These
United States:

NEW YORK, August Lon the Pana-
| ma Liner Advance. which reached this
port to-day was Commodore Carlos Fer
ryros. of the Peruvian navy. who is en-
route for Paris, for the purpose, II Is said,
of purchasing warships for the Peruvian
navy.
Rumors had been current in Panama
prior to July 2ist. those on the Advance
said, when Commodore Ferryros arrived
there on the steamer Santiago from Cal
lao, concerning a strong agitation
throughout Peru against the United
States, owing TO differences between the
two countries existing since 1885. There
was. therefore, some significance in the
utterances Of President Pierola at the
opening Of the Peruvian Congress at Lima
last Thursday. During his address Presi-
dent Pierola said that the national life of
Peru was calm and prosperous, and that
the foreign relations OF the government
were friendly, with the solitary exception
of an issue raised between Peru and the
United States, dating from 1885. With
respect to this, President Pierola added
that Peru had been compelled to accept
arbitration. under somewhat vexatious
conditions, in order to avoid rupture,
and that negotiations were still proceed
ing with the United States respecting
a modification of tariffs.
During the height OF the anti-United
States feeling in Peru there was consid-
erable talk about North America being
unable to protect the Pacific coast-line on
account of the Spanish war, and that
Peruvian demonstration thereabouts
might compel the United States to modify
her demands. 1t was also hinted that
secret agents had been sent TO Europe
for the purchase OF warships, and that
an important move might be made at an
early day.
These rumors were partially confirmed
by Commodore Ferryro's admission that
he was on his way to Paris, and that the
object OF his mission to Europe was the
purchase Of warships for the Peruvian
Government No little excitement was
caused in Central America when the
information that Peru was taking steps
to strengthen her navy became known.
