Yanez gave a dinner last night in
the small ballroom of the New Will
lard Hotel, which was attended by
many American and foreign diplo-
mats and others.
DR.. Yanez proposed two toasts.
The first was:
"A few days ago at brilliant
social affair we gathered - celebrate
- the centenary of Ayacucho the in
dependence of Peru. Today it is
VeneZuela's turn to render her hon.
age to the great battle, for in Ayacu-
cho eliminated the glory OF Bolivar
and the greatness of Sucre. her two
most illustrious sons. This tribute
from two grateful countries does not
restrict the significance of Ayacucho,
for on that heroic day Colombians
and Argentines shed their blood also
And II may be said that the Ninth Of
December was the great day of Span
ish America, for in the capitulation
of Ayacucho, the mother country,
touched by the magnanimity of Sucre,
reco gniZed forever the independence
of her colonies.
Great Historical Event.
"At the end of 100 years. a pan
American continental solidarity has
developed to broaden still more the
significance of the great historical
event. The honorable Secretary of
State and the illustrious press OF the
United States have rendered to
Ayacucho on this hundredth anniver-
sary. honors which bear witness to
the sentiments of this great nation
and prove that not only the interests.
but also the glories of America are
common to all Americans Now.
when representatives of other nations
OF the earth join us of America in
this commemoration, Ayacucho ac-
quires its full historical meaning, for
II permits men of different parts Of
the world to thrill with the same
emotion and render, in Bolivar and
Sucre. homage to liberty. Permit me,
then, interpreting these sentiments.
to propose a toast: To the liberia
tors"
The second toast was:
i wish to express to you now my
gratitude for the honor of your pres
ence and further. to invite you. in the
name of President Gomez of Vene-
Zuela, to join in a toast to the hon
orable President of the United States
and to the honorable chiefs of State
OF the other countries so worthily
represented mere.
Secretary of State Charles Hughes,
responding, said: at is gratifying
to have the opportunity to join in
this commemoration of the victory
Of Ayacucho and to pay tribute to
the illustrious heroes who thus
achieved the final triumph in the
cause of liberty in this hemisphere.
We had the privilege of celebrating
with the Ambassador of Peru this
decisive victory won upon her soil,
but we detract nothing from Peru's
share in the glory of that event when
we recognize our obligations to the
most distinguished sons of Venezuela
whose infieNible purposes and heroic
sacrihces made secure the freedom
and independence not only of the
country of their birth. but of all the
reonles of South America. We cele-
brate the victors of Ayacucho; we
DO honor to Bolivar and Sucre and
10 all who fought in the same cause
There was a common sacrifice and a
common triumph. May the memory
of this community of endeavor and
aspiration afford the assurance of an
unbroken amiry which shall bind the
republics of this hemisphere in the
fruitful labors OF peace.
Permit me to give you the toast
of the President of Venezuela"
