Peruvian consul in Iquique obliged the

between the two countries have ceased.
Much irritation has been caused in

said the minister. "Chile made a war of
conquest against Peru and Bolivia in
1875, having accumulated, during pre-
vious wears, considerable ornaments for
this purpose. Chile thus took possession
Of the rich saltpetre province OF Tara
paca, belonging to Peru and wrested from
Bolivia all her coast, converting that ma
ton into an inland country. Moreover,
Chile took possession of the Peruvian
provinces of Tacna and africa. According
to the treaty of peace, which Chile inn
posed on Peru, these two provinces were
to decide their nationality by means of
a plebiscite to be held in 1894. Chile,
moreover. took possession of the Peru
Wan province of Tarata, not mentioned
in the treaty of peace. Chile has never
complied honorably with her agreement
for a plehiscite. All of the diplomatic
documents show that Chile intends only
to extend and strengthen her conquest.
This refusal of Chile TO comply with
the terms of the treaty and the violence
committed against the Peruvians who
live in the territory occupied by Chile
have been the cause of separate crises in
the relations of the two nations. Peru
withdrew her legation for the first time
from Chile in 1901 and after having re-
established it in 1905, withdrew it again
in 1910, when the Chilean authorities
closed the schools, print shops and
churches of ther Peruvians in Chile and
expelled from the country all Peruvians
whose influence would contribute to the
maintenance of the Peruvian national
spirit, which, however, these violent
means failed to extinguish
