Speoial Correspondence af The Chicago Tridune, Lasta, Poru, Septomber, 1873, + I havs often written you of TIE COOLIE LABOR on tho varlous sugar-estates and plantations up snd down tho const, and of tho cruel way in which the Coolies are tronted, You may have Boon & montion of the tragedy on the San Pedro, B miles from Callao; and, as no pariicnlars of tho affalr have boen givon, I thought I would writo thom to you, that you might seo for your- eolf what a grave mistako the Porusians (and tho California planters as wetl) arc making in dealing with this Cbineso clemont in so sevoro a manuer, sud in oxciting tho smouldering hate of tho Mulnys and Coolies, Many a plantor bns toll mo that he lived in such fear of theso (reachorous Coolios that lho dared not slacp on hls plantation al night without a doublo guard, And they cannot, por- haps, blamo thoss poor wrotches, sinco thoy are Kidurppod and betrayod on board the Poruvinn trading-vessols, confined in poor quarlors, half- starvod, and beaton, and thon, on lsuding, driven liko sheop out to n plantation, worked worso than elaves, and treated with gross in- Justice. The olantation of San F'edro is one of tho largost on tho const, and I havo ofton riddon out on horsoback to enjoy its hospitalities, A Chi- naman waltor at tho table committed somo blun- dor, and was struck across tho mouth by his mastor, 80 as to bring blood. This a Coolio never forgets. At night, armod with s common bread-kuife, our Coolio penetrated to tho inner bod-chamber, where slept the family, and MUNDERED BEVEN PERSONS | ent tho throats of tho entire family : tho mastor who had struck bum, his master's wife, hor aged mother, and four dofensoless little childron! In the morning thoy were found welteriug in thelr blood, aud thoe public indiguation reached almost o8 groat & height in Lima and Callao as whon tho infurinted Cholo populaco stabbed the mur- derer of Balto, their lato Prosident, and in cups, and hands hollowed out, drauk his blood, Noth- ng would quiet the fury of (he people, and tho Coolle was talen to o publio plaza (or squara), tiod to nn iron post with iron chaing, saturated with oil, and DURNED ALIVE nt his iron pillar. This was doue in open day, in full viow of the entiro populaco not only, but beforo as many of the Coolics of tho adjolning sugnr-gstato as could bo driven or induced to sttend. The samo day, at an_odjoining olive- plantation, the mojor-dono_(ar stowsrd) was murdered by a Coolie by having his throat eut &t a beating he had ordored given to tho Coolio, his scrvant. This Covlio was also taken, esturafed with turpontine, and burned alive, fastencd to an iron etake; and, at the timo of the steamer's leaving, the whole Coolio tribo are up in y ALMOST OPEN BEBELLION. It is considored decidedly dunfistflus to ride out to theso plautations just at the presont time, aud our dolightful morning-rides aro greatly curtaled in consequence. Tho Coolies are dreadfully entaged and excited, and it is feared that thoy will rito in open rovolt. 'Chey might masuscre ovory white porson, for thoro arc #o many thousands of thew &t work on tho calates that, If they dhould riso, they nould carry evory- thing beforo them. Au armed forco from Lima hus gono down to the plantation of San Pedro, but the troublo ia by no meaus over. ‘Those Coolics mako splondid sorvants, if kindly snd humanely treated, and are not used to firearms. Theycan be inatantly subdued by tho wight of firearms, but thoy aro docp and kreachiorous, and, if arousod, their weapons aro always razors and knivos, ground to a feartul sharpness. Iam sure I would not choosa the osition of cither mnaster or overscor on ono of Ehens ostates, although the Coolies bocomo very tractable and attached to some of thoir ownors, But the danger from an uprising of these people scoms at present to bo throatening. e We are tormonted just now in the outskiris of Lima and Callso by BANDS OF RODDERS AND BRIGANDS, whostop people and take from them their valo- ables. ‘Ll is done in broad day. They come, in companics of ten or twelve,on horssbaok, to some corner-grocery or liquor-atoro (callod pulperia) in the suburbs, and, ontering suddenly, overpower the propriotors, help thomsolvos to whatevor they moy chooso, break open the money-drawers, and, in soveral instances, compel the stora-keoper to give over all tho monoy ho may Lave savod. In one instanco thoy found & padre, or priest, just coming from bin church. Thoy surrounded aud carriod him into his own Louss, next door, and compolled him to give up sil bis own, and the church's funds as well, 6,000 soles ho had hiddon in & bag, Thoy work 80 in_concert, and 8o quiokly, that, ‘bofore the poor, sleopy coladore (policomat)hiad arrived on the spot, they have mounted and arc sway. All the celadores carry a loaded gun in- steadofa club, and they hayo roceived ofiicial or- dors to flre upon thoso bands of marauders whor- ever they may come upon them. This may havo the effcct of Lroaking up tho gangs, as thoy will blustor and torrify with drawn swords, but are efraid of guns and pistols, The main drive be~ tiween Callao and Lima has been infested with thom, uo that tho ladics and obildren no longer daroe drivo out on the Lima road for pleasure. BOME AMUSING INOIDENTS sre related about their oxploits, In one in- stance, thoy tied an old Poruvian duenna to her easy-chair, and wedged o comota (aweet potato) botween hor teoth, daring her to take it out or malke avy outery, and, whilo one stood over hor with o drawa sword, the rost, in broad daylight, woro counting over tho little hoard of soica she bad tied up in mnold stocking. And all this with doors and windows apon, people constantly presing, somo of tho robhera actually ninilng and one standing In his shirt-slesven in the fron door, bare of hend and emoking, while anothor stood beforo the old dame to obatruct the view of any oue lookiug in upon hor. The neighbora thought she had some company, and so natural- 1y did tho robbors carry out thoe plan that they encaped with tho plunder. ‘Il fact is, the cela- dores, or police, aro perfoct. cowards, and dare not attack or arrest one of thoso brigands, Some of tho pooplo deolaro that thedo robbers snd coladoros are in league.

I would mob ‘beliove it posnible but that I havo seon it repeat- edly and succossfully tried.

But, {ustond of settling into our favorito chair forour uaual cosy talk, each one commonced an uneasy porambulation, according to his or her fancy. No ene said anything.

T roplaced it hurriedly with a groan, intended to carry to tholinteners a sufliclent amount of sur- priso, indignation, and regret. The Don took ono more turn around tho room, and stood gloomily beforoe the fire-placo. *!

Not oven tho recollec- tion of sll tho cords of wood ho had split af- forded me the slightest foundation for bulmvlnfi that the misanthropio look which now dawne on his conntonance betokened a willingness on his part to renow any part of his former experi- onces. Now, to bo suro, the Don, incased in & volvet smoking-jacket and embroidered slippors, didn't oxactly look like & being to be_dispatcued on such an errond, But the necossity was dire.
