To meet this great debt Don Domingo Elias says that

unequal and that the supply is only sufficient for
about eight years. Don Domingo is the for
loading guano and has therefore, right To give
opinion upon this subject. To this letter the i1cnt
replied through the channel, in short letter,
charging Don Domingo with personal object in making
such statements, and saying that he was interested
in the recovery of certain claim against the govern
ment. This brought oat another letter from pom DO
mngo, in which he openly charged the President and his
cabinet with being prvy to certain discre1able trans
actions in regard to claims and aading CONVEX aons
that had taken place between them.
1t is here necessary to observe that the
ing Of the 18th, when the British mail steamer
should have sailed at s o'clock 1t did leave until
seven and that just previous TO her sailing Don Do
mingo brought board number of copies OF the
Concrete containing this letter for The purpose Of having

board the steamer and despatch informing the govern
of it back from Pata the port The
steamer touched at; the consequence of which that
The Congress then in sion voted susncu
sion of the constitution, invested the President with
extraordinary powers and Don domingo found himself
in jail for treason in attempting njure the credit
Of the State. The affair created great excitement in
Lima, and the papers since have eemed with let
tiers for and against Elias. From what be judged
by the press the government party terribly put

one hundred millions in IL rute between the parties.
iLerc Is doubt that Elias in making public his state

also undenablc that there has been Of
