[12] These abuses of the Upland Indians are constantly being carried
out. Whilst this book was in press accounts were received of
systematic ill-treatment, murder, and slavery of the natives in the
Montaña of Cuzco and elsewhere, published in _El Comercio_ of Lima
under date of June and July, 1912. These districts are by no means
remote from centres of government.
[13] The ignorance or hypocrisy of the Peruvian Legation in this
connection was fully brought forward in _Truth_.
