CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA.
From our Special Correspondent

There have been good many deaths within the lsst
week or two from fever which is called BY a variety
Of ran rs: some OF them have g yellOwish tiDge.
Amorg the recent victims to the disease, uhsever It
Is, is Mr.. Charles Howard, lately officer the
steamship Moses Taylor, think. He csus down on
the last New.York steamer TO take position in the
employ of the Steamship Company on this side, but
died within a week after reschDg Panama. was not
acquainted with Mr.. Howard but hear him spoken
Of in the warmtst terms by those who did know him,
az one whose esrly death vii be mourned by large
circle Of friends.
The steamer New Granada arrived in this port
the 2lst of jan bringing dates from Valparaiso up to
the st ult, and from Csllso TO the llth.
Chill still continues in state Of political ferment,
and is probable that the difficulties, Of which gave
you bssfy sketch in my last, were but Introductory
TO troubles cf far ore grave and serious character
Some of the parties arrested at Santiago have been
subjected to fine of thoussnd dollNs, and others
who were regarded as implicated 70 less extent, have
been let off with the moderate of eight hundred.
Martial law s still the order of exercises and the press
throughout the State seems to be entirely subservent
to the exiting Government. Busines. is slmos. at
stantstili in Valparaiso.
The troubles at Lima and Csllso seem no nearer
=
To be sure sort of calm followed the outbreak, but
is such calm accustomed to regard a. the
foreruDner of tempest-an unnatural quiet which
cannot last
Thus far these revolution ,ry demonstrations have
been made by a certain clsss, the artisans and their
only p1ofessed object has been the protection Of their
craft by preventing the importation of articles manu-
factured in foreign country but tue impression seems
to prevail with those who have been accustomed 10
watch the progress Of these soc al earthquakes, If
msy be ellow ed the expression, that there is moving
power and motive yet to be developed, and this opo
ion would seem to be sustained by the alarm which the
outbreak evidently cau,ed the authorities, and their
subseeuert course in regard to it, They seem atad
to attempt any decisive measure in order to que the
disturbance at once and efectualy, which would
scarcely be the Gaze If it were nothing more than
party Of citizens camorbg for what they pleased
to contider their rights.
On the 6th ult., proclamation was issued warning
the rioters of the consequences ot any further inter
ference with the railway and telegraph but 20 far
from producing any salutsry results, the authorities
were de6ed and they commenced tearing up the track
of the road and cutting the wires Of the telegraph
While the PROCLAMATION being read, end the au-
tbortes appear to have been fairy cowed. AL thi,
looks though the resurrection Vas far more general
than was at first supposed and It is even reported
that the Government troops tnctured with the rev.
olutionary spirit and only waltz for come one to
give the lead, to 90 over peu mel, TO the popular
aide. What the final resut of all this will be esnnot,
of course undertake 10 Oretell but time will show,
and the next steamer will doubtless bring some IL
ters sting particulars.
The Callao correspondent Of The Panama .S!av
gives tie particulars of the arrest, in Calao OF
former resident Of this city, Mr. Colas G. Monsaloe,
by order of the Government. From his account |
should Judge it TO ave been pretty high-hsnded a..
fair a. NJ. MonsaCe is an adopted citizen Of the
United St&te and been sresled and has now been
in confinement for some line without known upon
what chsrge lie is detained, of what crime he is
cused. This is in dinc conflict with the constitution
Of Peru, which provides that "any person arrested
shall be furnished with copy Of the charges male
" se anst him" but the acton, rather iHtction Of
our Government in her foreign affairs Of late mas been
such as to rather encourage just such outrages. We
talk large Of what We going TO DO in this and that
case, but unefs our Washington Cireumlocutiop OF
fee finds beyond question that the affair IS going to
be popular in every respect, and in every caity il
ends il talk and these Insignificant Ii lie powers are
encomsged by such u TO think they can act
with perfect impurity.
Possibly, il appearances seem TO promise that il
would be popular to notice this outrage upon Mr.. Mon
soloe-whch by the way is a ttrong-r case than that
of NJ. Ko.zt. :or. if recollect right he hai simply
declared his intentions to become citizen whereas
M NJ. has been already admitted TO all the rights Ut
ciiizenship--somethrg may be dose to remird the
ert at and reIful of Peru that there is email
country lying TO the north called the Upitei States
which would be pleased if the aforesaid Peru would
cor desceId TO treat her citizens who may have the
misfortune to lsId upou peIuv soi in the pursuit
Of their lawful eAlngs, with tribe more courtesy
But unless vas very certain tba. it would he popular
to demand 81 explanation in the case an afr,i Mr.
NJ. will have precious little ressoD TO copgraula'e him
self upon his acquired citizenship.
