temporarily suspended. duo to an cpl
demic which is prevalent there. but It is
expected that the sanitary restrictions

ships will call at that port again. Our

Panama Railroad Company. the United

La Prerso, referring to the attempted
occupation by a detachment Of Ecua-
dorian troops of the mouth of the Qua
saga River. as reported by the Project
Of Loreto, says that the Ecuadorians did
as a matter OF fact get to the mouth Of
said river. but were compelled to with
draw by the Peruvian Commissary of
the Pastaza River that the matter Is a
serious one, as Z means an incursion Of
Ecuadorian troops into a zone neutral
lied by n diplomatic agreement of
"statu Quo," which provided that said
zone should remain neutral and free
from military occupation by either of
the two countries. and that II Is evident
that the Ecuadorian Government has
overstepped such international agree
ment entered into precisely to prevent a
clash OF the armed forces OF both Ecua-
dor and Peru by sending a detachment
OF troops and special agents to establish
commissaries or military garrisons with

which may easily provoke a fatal con-
fiict. Tho Government Is called upon to
study carefully the question and to in
vito Ecuador to replace the position of
the eastern frontier within the explicit
conditions agreed upon in the ''statu
quo" convention OF 1910.
An Iouitos despatch reported the ar
rival there of. Capt. Sanchez Cerro, chief
OF the Pastaza garrison, who stated that
the reported attempt to establish a garri-
son OF Ecuadorian troops at the mouth
of the Guasaga River was OF no impor-
lance. As soon as the Ecuadorian troops
made their appearance and received his
request that they withdraw this was ac-
ceded TO by Capt. Bonilla, chief of the
Ecuadorian detachment, who had pro-
ceeded in n similar manner on another
occasion on the River Curaray.
Peru Picks French Airpianea.
La Prenso in a recent issue says: LAS
may be gathered from the following Of
| fetal Information which we have re-
ceived from the Ministry of Foreign Az
fairs. a new French military mission and
a number OF military airplanes will ar
rive soon in Lima.
I'VE have been informed that the
| French Aviation Mission. whose four
ney TO Chile was announced recently by
the papers. is, above all. commercial in
| nature. Its main object is TO make
known in Argentina. Paraguay, Cru-
quay and Chile, during a simple tour.
the Importance OF the machines which
have been offered to tho several Govern
ments of South America.
IF the schedule OF such mission does
not include Peru this is because It's Jour-
| ney here has been considered unneces-
sary. The approaching arrival of the
French Military instruction Mission and
| the supplying OF the Peruvian Ministry
OF war with French military aviation
machines, contracts for both OF which

that Peru had already made her choice
without Its having been necessary 10

According TO a Santiago despatch OF
recent date. Ell Dtdrio Nustrudo reports
that the French Minister has sent a
note to the Chancellor asking for orders

Ell TEMPO, Lima, has given consider
| able prominence to an article published

ported TO have occurred between the
Holy See and Peru regarding the eccle-

The statement contained in the afore-
said article. which asserts that as the
| Papal Nuncio TO Chile has very effi-
| GENTLY supported Chilean interests at
the Vatican. the position OF Mgr.
Lorenzo Lauri, tho Papal delegate In
Lima, has become very difficult, has
been utterly denied by Haid Mgr. Lauri
in a letter wherein tkS churchman re-
| ferred 10 quotes, in support OF his de-
NAL another article published by the
official organ of the Vatican. loser

| This second article. after referring "a
