PERUVIAN WAR IN PACIFIC.
UNCLE SAM MAY HAVE NEW FIGHT
ON HIS HANDS.

The south American Country Nettled
Over BEING Compelled to Accept
Arbitration of the Dispute of 1888
Under what She Considers Vexa-
tious COndItiOns-COmm Fer
rios OF the Peruvian Navy En-
Route to Europe TO Purchase War
ships.
New York, Aug. lon the Panama
liner Advance, which reached this port
to-day, was Commodore Carlos Ferrios of
the Peruvian navy, who is en- route to
Paris, for the purpose, 1t Is said, of pur-
chasing warships for the Peruvian navy.
Rumors had been current in Panama
prior TO July 81 those on the Advance
said, when Commodore Ferrios arrived
there on the steamer Santiago from Cali
lao, concerning 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
President Pierola said the national life
OF Peru was calm and prosperous and
that the foreign relations of the govern
ment were friendly, with the solitary ex-
cepton of an issue raised between Peru
and the United States, dating from 1885.
with respect TO this President Plerola
adds that Peru had been compelled to ac-
cept arbitration under somewhat vexa-
tious conditions in order to avoid a rup-
ture and that negotiations were still pro-
ceeding with the United States respecting
a modification OF tariffs
During the height of the anti-United
States feeling in Peru there was consid-
eroble talk about North America being
unable to protect It's 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 war vessels and that an important
move might be made at an early day.
These rumors were partially confirmed
by Commodore Ferries admission that he
was on his way to Paris and that the OBJ
iect Of his mission 10 Europe was to pur-
chase warships for the Peruvian govern-
ment.
No little excitement was caused in Gen.
tral America when the information that
Peru was taking steps to strengthen her
navy became known.

ARMrNG OF AcurNALDo A MISTAKE.
Fearing Annexation He Now Openly
Opposes Americans.


London, Aug "A dispatch to the Times
from Cavite, dated July 26. says; 1T is
becoming more apparent daily that there
are serious complications abroad. The
Americans never made greater mistake
than in bringing Aguinaldo aud the in
surgent leaders here and giving them
arms and ammunitlons for free use from
the Cavite arsenal
"Aguihaldo. fearing annexation by the
Americans, openly opposes them.
''EIther he has been corrupted by some
foreign power or he has a false notion
of the strength of the Philippine revolu-
tionaries, falling to recognize that their
recent successes are due 10 the concen-
tratlon of Spanish strength at Manila.
consequent upon the presence of the
Americans. Although he admits no for
eign recognition, he talks of his govern
ment and dictates to the American au-
thorities In absurdly inflated tones. He
has compelled the natives of the south
ern approaches 10 Manila to register their
bullocks, ponies and conveyanoes in
structlng the owners not to supply them
10 the Americans for transportation with
out his sanction.
Brig. Gen. Anderson promptly adopted
firm measures, warning Aguinaldo that
force would be used to impress the means
of transport which were ultimately forth
coming. Aguinaldo's attitude makes fu-
ture operations against Manila problema-
tic.
In my opinion, with the aid of the fleet
the city might already have been Ameri-
can. Nothing but the complications with
the natives prevented an advance Now
the violent rains have set in, making
camp and field operations tedious and
threatening the health of the men.
II am convinced that the Philippines
will never capture Manila unaided and
that If the Americans withdraw, the fate
of the natives under Spanish rule would
be worsce than before. There would be
constant lighting and trade extension
would be impossible"
