In tOurshing state, and the State debt is now so

The Spanish American Alliance question seems f.
attract very little attention in this country proba
bly, on account of the doubts entertained of its hn
ing carried into effect. Still less do they seem, in
clined for confederation of the five republics mon
the grounds that Salvador and Costa Rica, the two
pest Governments and most thriving States, would
be compelled to impoverish themselves in order IN
support their lazy and thrftless neghbors of Nic.r
aqua and Honduras.
The Government of Salvador is devotinp its at
tention to the roads and bridges throughout the
State. This is good move, and will reward the
attention given them, particularly in a country Gle
Salvador, which presents every element necessary
for developing its resources. excepting capita land
and labor reasonable, and the people docie and vii
ling to work. What more is wanting exoentino

Coffee planting on a grand scale is GOING on IN
the departments OF Sonsonate and Santa Ara The
number of trees planted in these places Is comnuted
at 3,0OO0O0 This is owing to the interest taken by
the Government in this product, and also To tbt
fact that Salvador is, without doubt blessed wifi
the most liberal and best regulated Government il
Spanish America.
COSTA RIGA.
The Cronico de Costa RIGA SAYS the Republic O
Costa Rica is following its steady course of pro
gress. Justly Judging that want of proper road
and the bad state of those already in use is great
drawback for a country where agriculture is the
principal source of commerce, the attention of the
Government and private capitalists has been direct
ed to the subject and the advantages are beginning
to be felt.
Col Don Francisco Alvarado, who abandoned Cas-
tlo Viejo to the flbusters, without making any
resistance whatever, has been sentenced to the de
graduation OF four years confinement in the port o.
Moln. The sentence has not been confirmed by the
Superior Court.
The new coffee crop was just coming in: it is re-
ported to be below an average in quantity There
is some for sale in the market; and as most of the
crop is already engaged the prices still continue
very high. Some of last years crop has been sold
at 80 to S9.75. Business is reported dull in Pun
ia Arenas.
JAMAICA.
We have dates from Kingston Jamaica, to the
goth of February.
The new African Slave trade contracts of France
excited the ire and openly avowed hosities of the
Jamaica press.
The Kingston Morning journal says The truth
is as far as Jamaica is concerned there is want OF
labor. and immigration is necessary; but we desire
no quasi slave trade, no following in the footsteps
OF despotie sovereign, to obtain stolen labor from
Africa. immigration to this Island must be free
and voluntary such as prevails at the Mauritius
The same paper adds: Unless due attention i;
paid TO lmmlgration-the only means by which the
population can be improved-we must not expect
the prospects of Jamaica ever to progress much be
yond what they are at present.
