JOHN CELESTIN LANDREAU SEEK
ING HALF OF sI5,OoO,OoO.
His Brother the Original Discoverer
of Valuable Deposits of GuanO on
the Peruvian Sea Coast.

WASHINGTON, May 1-Messrs. Egbert
Jameson, Dudley and Michener and Robert
Christy, as attorneys for John Celestin
Landreau, have filed with the secretary of
state petition against the government of
Peru, claiming a one-half interest in the
reward, amounting to s15OOO,O0O, promised
by that government to his brother ]. Theo-
phile Landreau, the original discoverer of
valuable deposits of guano upon its sea-
coast and Literal islands in 1865. The
Peruvian government obligated itself by
contract with the brothers TO pay an
amount equal to per cent. of the value of
the guano discoveries so made, not. how
ever. to operate upon more than the first
100000 tons. This contract was the result
of a concession made by the Landreaus at
the solicitation of Peru, their claim orig
inally basing itself upon a public law of
Peru, which gave to the discOverer a one
third part of all property discovered be-
longing To Peru and not previously known
to ii.
The claim is presented by John Celestin
Landreau as a naturalized citizen OF the
United States. and sets forth that for
many years and repeatedly his claim has
been brought TO the attention of Peru by
the nlted states ministers 10 tnat COuE-
try, and in various other ways has been
diligently pressed, and yet no part of this
claim has been paid to him. nor has any
tender OF settlement been made TO him.
Ii is recited that as early as Feb. 70. 1880
upon the petition OF the said John Celestin
Landreau. and after a full investigation by
the proper committee. the House of Repre-
sentatives passed a resolution requesting
the President TO take steps in accordance
with international law 10 secure final
settlement and adjustment Of this same
claim against the government OF Peru.
The proceeds of the gUanO discovered by
the Landreaus, il is declared, restored the
waning national credit OF Peru. and en-
abled her 10 make extensive governmental
improvements. The series OF denials of
justice by Peru TO the claimants Landreau
are set forth specifically In their petition.
such denials OF recognition or relief by
the judicial branches OF the government
and disregard and evasions OF solemn OBJ
legations incurred by the government on
the part OF its executive and legislative
branches.
The principal obstacles TO the prosecution
OF the claims thus far has been the denial
by Peru OF the genuineness of Landreau's
American naturalization.
