Peruvian Affairs Are Better

Lima, Peru, January 2.--As a result of the various measures undertaken to rem edy the impoverished condition of the Peruvian government. the situation has improved considerably. The country's financial position previously involved was made more difficult by the European war until it became so serious that the government could not afford to pay the salaries of diplomatic representatives, and even the legation at Washington was closed. In the last 15 months, however, the government has taken energetic measures, resulting in the cancellation of debts amounting to nearly S,O00,000 sols (about $4000,O00). Customhouse receipts have increased largely.
