To the Editors of the "Nacional"

With reference to the letter of the Peruvian Consul in Macao alluding to the great mortality of Chinese Emigrants sent to Peru in sailing vessels and suggesting that steamers ought henceforth to be employed, I beg by your leave to say that the Directors of the "Pacific Mail Steamship Company" and of the "Steam Company in the Pacific" have made the necessary arrangements for bringing Coolies as third-class passengers via San Francisco and Panama to Callao.

The time from China to Callao would be reduced from 90 to 55 days, and the cost, including their keep during the passage, would be from $110 to $120 per head, according to their number.

The Coolies would be transhipped from one steamer to another in San Francisco and Panama without necessarily being disembarked anywhere, and on arrival at Callao, the Company would put them on a Ponton for 15 or 20 days if required.

The advantages that would result in substituting steamers for sailing vessels in the transport of Chinese have not been exaggerated by the Peruvian Consul. The Chinese will arrive here in a state of perfect good health.
