Revolution Prevents Landing in Ecuador

WHILE the steamship “Chile” was lying off the coast at Guayaquil, Ecuador, January 15, Brother Spicer mailed a letter from which we learn that on account of the revolution just broken out there he was unable to land. Their ship on the way down the coast was ordered into Manta, where one thousand soldiers were taken on board. Yellow fever was also doing its deadly work at Guayaquil. Brother Spicer was thus compelled to take boat for Peru as quickly as possible, without meeting Elder J. W. Westphal in Ecuador, as planned. This will be a great disappointment to our brethren in Ecuador, as it was to the visiting brethren, but was unavoidable because of the uprising. A cable tells of Brother Spicer’s safe arrival at Lima, Peru.
