Mr. Hovey to Mr. Seward
No. 100]
Legation of the United States, Lima,
Peru,
November 14, 1867.
Sir: Since my last despatch, No. 98, dated 28th ultimo, several unimportant outbreaks, in favor of the rebellion, have occurred in different portions of the republic.
As yet, Colonel Prado has not succeeded in conveying his siege trains to the camp of his army, one league from Arequipa. The combat, about to commence near that city, will, no doubt, be the decisive one, and my confidence still continues in the success of the government arms.
I have the honor to be, with great respect, your obedient servant,
ALVIN P. HOVEY.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
