FROM SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA.


FROM SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA.
Venczuela.-This country was sill being des-
lated by civil war, Joined 10 the ravages Of the ty
phus and yellow feycrs. The revolutions which
have never ceased 10 disturb Venezuela from the
time that Leocadio Guzman excited the populace
against the men of worth, continued presenting an
alienation of triumphs and defeats, which leave
in suspense the fate OF society. The brothers Mon
agas, absolute governors OF Venezuela, have sue
ceeded in reducing their adversaries in Valencia
and in the valleys OF Aragua; still the insurgents
maintained themselves ia Cumana, and in the is
land of Margareta Their defeats were attributed
TO a want of unanimity, which has neutralized
their efforts from the beginning. From their not
working in accord, the heads Of movement, which
appears lawful one have, in the most deplorable
manner, compromised the success of the good
cause OF the conservative party, since the govern
ment OF Venezuela not only wants credit and
moral power in the interior, but il also maintains
its connection with foreign nations in the worst
condition The whole diplomatic corps has had to
protest against its violcnces and arbitrarlcs. But
in Venezuela, elsewhere, timidity and INDIGESTION
are accustomed TO attend on the good cause, while
the bad cause has no scrupc in awaiting itself of
brute force, and in recurring 10 the attempts that
occurred in 1918, When General President Mona
gas directed horde of assassns against Congress-
New GreEada.--The Peruvian minister, Senior
Paz Sedan had left Bogota, after having regulated
the question pending between Peru and New
tory on the banks ofthe Amazon. There are good
news from the gold mines in the neighborhood OF
Chondales, large Jumps of gold have been received
and very nne specimens OF quartz.
Peru and B0livia.-Since the military occu-
ton OF the port of Cobija by the Peruvians, there
has not occurred any warike move TO complicate
affairs. The belligerents had limited themselves
TO sending troops to the frontier, each army num-
bering four thousand men, President Bolzu had
established his quarters at Vrachia
Guatemala. dates from Guatemala are to
the 22d Of July. The Gacaa contains all the doe
uments relative to the persecution the enemy
and 10 the second defeat which they suffered on
the 18th of July, on the aid of Atulaoa General
Garcia Granados who commanded in The action
was promoted 10 the rank Of brgadier Of infantry.
Notwithstanding these triumphs, General Car
rera had resolved 10 order the evacuation Of
the Hondurian territory, and even 10 concentrate
his troops towards Guatemala, contenting hinlself
with leaving battalion in the department of Chi

san salvador and Honduras. dates from
San Salvador 10 the 9th Of August The Ga
eeta publishes the treaty between the United States
and the republic OF Salvador. The journals con-
tain nothing 10 the state Of affairs in Honduras
There had arrived al San Salvador Honduran
commissioner, Don Eusebio Reana, who, in his
presentation speech stated that only vague and
nnfoundcd run,ors had thrown the two States in
discord. II is 10 be presumed that his mission
turns principally on the mode of regulating the
difficulties by means of a mediator.
The government Of San Salvador, which, on
sending Senior Zadivar to Guatemala, appeared to
believe that the disagreement between both States,
(San Salvador and Honduras) was not TO be at
iribmted TO vague aud unfonnded rumors, officially
facilitated the government of Guatemala, in very
expressive terms, on the happy issue Of the cam
pagn. Senior Zaldivar, on accompanying this
ieicitaion with note, expressed himself in very
rcsoue manner stating that the shortness OF time
did MOI permit his government to concur in d.
rect manner in the defence Of the republic.
Although The sanguinary turn which some ques-
tons have taken is TO be lamcnted, there does not
fail 10 result some good from certain misfortunes.
One OF these benefits is freedom in international
relations Ii is always very deplorabe, but some
times very useful, that the sword cut the Gordian
knots of policy
The dates from Nicaragua are not so late as
those we had previously received.
The Head Of J0aquin.--The head of Joa-
quin Muriaiia, says the San Francisco Herald, the
robbcr Of Calaveras, now being exhibited in this

fed by several. II is the impression of ex-Sena

ports the immigration numerous and generally
very healthy. There is greater amount of stock
coming across this year than any previous one,
and is better suited 10 this market. The grass
was poor all the way through, and ON Mary's river
not spear was visible. All the travel thus far
has been on the north side of the river in conse-
quence of the opposite side being yet wet and
miry. The mosquitoes were tormenting in the ex-
IRENE. The Indians were not very troublesome,
although they had stopped ono wagon on the sum-
init, and after shooting the mules attached to il
proceeded TO rob il ofits contents. A woman and
her child sat in the wagon nj the time, the men
having left her but few moments previous TO
