CONDITION OF THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTH AMERICAN STATES.
Civil war is again on tho increase in the
Central and South American States. The war
between the Argentine Republic, Brazil and
Uruguay on the one hand, and Paraguay on
the other is progressing and assuming dimen.
siOns for exceeding previous petty conflicts.
In San Salvador, the instruction excited by
tho exiled President, Barrios, against
tho actual Government has been, con-
trary to the general expectation, entirely
crushed, and it was expected that Barrios him
self hid fall into the hands Of his opponents
and BE- shot. In Hsyti, the Instruction against
the administration Of President Jefinard seems
likewise to be near its close. In Honduras, the
insurrectonary outbreak has not yet been
quellcd. In Peru. the Government has gained
some important advantages over the insurgents,
but it ia still far from having restored peace.
No less deplorable than the continuance OF
the most wanton and unjusti6ed insurrcctionary
outbreaks in Latin America, il tho unsettled
opinion Of tho pross concerning this lawlessness
In reading the papers of South America we arc
astonished at the readiness with which the ap-
peal by dissatisfied parties TO the arbitrament
Of the sword is justified. There Ia not yet that
respect for the verdict Of the popular
vote and for the existing law which
has recently procured for our own
Republic larger share Of admiration from the
civilized world than has ever before been ac-
corded TO q republican form Of government. In
Peru. the Government, by It's timid submission
to the insolent and humiliating demands Of
Spain, has naturally produced great indigna-
ton at home, as well as among the progressive
party in the other States, and this indignation
has appeared TO tho malcontents sufficient cause
civil war, and weaken still moro its power Of
resistance to European aggressions.
The wanton invasion of the Argentine terri.
tory by the army Of Paraguay has naturally
united all the citizens, however differing in
their views on the Uruguayan war, for com.
mon and enthusiastic defense of the national
honor. Even on this war We find conflicting
views in the press Of the other South American
States.
This anarchy ofpublic opinion and the weak.
ness resulting therefrom is eagerly made use of
by Spain, which, after extorting millions of dol.
lars from Peru for not preventing the murder of
Spaniard at not, is now trying the same OK.
pertinent with Chill. Itspretexts for indemnif-
cation are equally "a weighty as those used with
regard to Peru. An order of the Gillian Gov.
eminent enforcing neutrality in tho war between
Peru and Spain and q non.suppression Of o
Gillian paper which had grossly abused the
Spaniards. were tho principal counts. The
CHILEAN papers talk bravely Of tho unanimous
determination Of the people to fight the Span.
iards rather than to disgrace themselves by
cowardly submission, but many suspect the
Government of an intention TO follow the
example of Peru and buy off the danger of war
by the payment Of the demanded indemnifi-
cation.
Still, the beginning Of q new and better era in

in the future. In most Of the States, popula-
ton, trade and general prosperity arc rapidly
increasing, Notwithstanding the continuance Of
internal divisions and disturbances. Chill and
the Argentine Republic, especially, are
on the road to become powerful ma
TONS Both are already deriving the greatest
benefits from foreign immigration, tho construc-
ton of railroads and the development Of their
resources. The idea of closer union between
the Republic is making visible progress The
reception of the news of the downfall Of our
Rebellion has produced wonderful influence.
Everywhere it was greeted with outbursts Of
unbounded enthusiasm, and 1t was celebrated
as fatal blow struck TO the pretensions Of Eu.
rope with regard TO this continent.
