Rivera’s successor, Lope de Ulloa, had to encounter a daring adversary in the _Toqui_ Lientur, who was invariably successful in his encounters with the Spaniards, till, worn out by age and fatigues, he resigned his command, in 1625, to Putapichion, who pursued a like daring course. The war continued, with occasional successes on either side, for many years longer. A new governor was appointed to _Chili_ in the person of _Don_ Francisco Laso, who, having failed to obtain peace, carried on hostilities continuously, until at length, in 1632, Putapichion was slain in battle. Laso had greatly at heart the fulfilment of the promise which he had made to his King of putting an end to the war. From his talents and experience no one was more capable of doing so; but he had to do with an invincible people. Their love of their country has probably never been exceeded, and was so strong that life had no charm for them beyond the limits of _Araucania_. All prisoners were after a time deported by Laso to _Peru_. When they came in sight of land they threw themselves overboard, in the hope of swimming ashore, and many succeeded in this manner in effecting their escape. Even from _Callao_ many escaped, following, with incredible fatigue, the immense line of coast which separated them from their native country. [Sidenote: 1641.] The court of Spain, owing to the long duration of the war and the great losses on their side, declined to retain Laso any longer in command, and appointed as his successor _Don_ Francisco Zuniga, to whom was reserved the honour of concluding peace. Zuniga arrived in _Chili_ in 1630, and sought a personal conference with Lincopichion, the _Toqui_ of the Araucanians. On the 6th of January of the following year a solemn treaty was concluded, putting a period to a war which had lasted for ninety years. The Marquis de Baydes was attended by ten thousand persons to the village of _Quillin_ in _Puren_, the place fixed for the ratification; whilst Lincopichion came at the head of four hereditary _Toquis_ and a large number of _Ulmenes_. The ratification was celebrated by a three days’ festival on either side, all prisoners being released. [Sidenote: 1643.]
