LIMA,

26th January, 1907.

Sir:-

I have the honour to report that the establish-

ment of a direct steamship service between Callao

and Japan has been in active and successful operation

for some two years past, serving principally for the

transportation to Peru of Chinese coolies to work

under contract on the sugar estates.

These vessels touch at Hongkong and have lately

brought to this Coast an apparently very undesirable

class of destitute Hindoo immigrants who are or

pretend to be unable to furnish any intelligible

account of themselves.

Some twenty-five of these men recently landed

at Callao and are causing no little trouble to His

Majesty's Acting Consul General, Mr. G.G.Wilson.

Mr. Dalman, British Vice-Consul at Salaverry,

telegraphed

Sir F. Grey, Bart., M.P.
