It is said that the president was to have been enticed on board a Peru- vian battleship lying in the harbor of €allao, under the pretext of at- tending & banquet, and, once he was on board, the ship was to have put to sea and he was to have been dropped overboard. When the time for the banquet arrived the president delegated another government official to go in his place and the plot failed. A few days later he was scheduled PRESIDENT OF PERU OUTWITS PLOTTERS Hated by Political Foes, He Lives by Constant Bat- tle of Wits. to make a trip to the interior to in- spect a new rail line just completed and about to be opened.
