LIMA, Nov. o. 1885, =
Troubles stin sexist in the political horizon. Peu
never win be perfectly tranquil secure from rdvo
buttons until the Chincha Islands ana the otper de-
posits OF guano are completely exhausted That
wealth the point at which all the factioas men OF
this republic aim. The readers OF the H<RALD have
been already informed that serious nzsunderstand
ing had sprung up between the President, Balta and
the first Vice President Herencis Zevallos. Afew
days since this affair took veD disagreeable turn.
IT appears that Zevalloa/ was anxious TO
press one Of his schemes through Congress,
and calling on Balta desired the cooperation
OF the latter and the exer0n Of all OF his influence
to erect the desired end. Balta was thunderstruck
at this performance, and in very unequivocal Ian
guage told Colonel Zevallos that the administration
was perfectly aware of the conspracies on foot and
cognizant Of the active part taken In them BY the
first Vice President but that it would be well to re-
member that he (Balta) was noted as o man OF some
determination ana his decision was already formed
to shoot the first man he should discover in rebel
lion Zevallos replied that in such case the fate OF
the President would not long be delayed after the
fall Of the consprator, and left the palace impressed
1t Is said, with conviction OF the danger oi the
enterprise
This little incident has widened the breach between
the two parties, and there some who prognosti-
to judge by the usual state OF affairs in Peru IL Is
nearly time to be on the Qt UDe for another revolt
ton, but large number Of the best men In the
country have full confidence in Bata and are posi-
tive that revolt succeed against him. 1t GER
tanly would be an event sincerely to be deplored aS
the present administration has committed less blum
ders ana done good in the short period OF It's
existence than any other recorded In Peruvian
annals.
Congress is still busy with the budget and con-
sumo whole days over the discussion OF unimportant
points. the sessions have been extended for f1ty
days and it is thought that all business OF moment
can be concluded before that time NO Iurther
measures have been taken towards the people In
jured by the earthquake and 1t appears that those
unfortunates can take better care OF themselves
alone than with the aid Of the Peruvian legislators.
A very large collection was made in England on
their behalf and we are yet waiting to hear the re-
suit OF the subscription initiated in New York, but
OF which the final returns have not as yet been Ior-
warded TO Peru.
An interesting discussion has recently taken place
concerning the nterment OF Protestant foreigners IN
this country. An EngLshman died in Irujillo III
1887. and not being Catholic was denied burial IN
the only cemetery in the place in accordance with
the Catholic doctrine Of consecrated ground. me

the friends OF the deceased. One Of these protested

Bishop OF Truiillo made Q report on the
matter asserting with great bitterness the
Church should be treated In like manner. The gov
eminent. however did not enter fully into the cruel
ideas OF the bishop and demanded the opinion OF the
Attorney General This officer, after carefully re-
viewing the Subject, remarked that while it would
not be prudent to oppose the preJudces OF the lgno-
existing orders issued by the Pope, yet 1t is the duty
Of the government to establish respectable cemete-
ries in all large towns where any foreigner may be
assured Of decent burial. The government accepted

The supply Of guano at the Chincha Islands is be-
coming painfully reduced. 1t is estimated that

Guilty IS experienced In loading. The government
has ordered the guano companies to export consid-
erably from the deposits at the Guanape Islands, on
the northern coast. These islands. together with
United States by Mr.. Webster, when secretary OF
State, but afterwards restored to their rightful
owners, contain very large amount OF the fertilizer,
but OF a quality decidedly Inferior to that OF the
Chlnchas The company consigning to the United
States had this Northern guano analysed In New
York; and while that from the Chinchas sells ut
sixty dollars gold, per ton the Northern was found
TO be worth only about forty-four dollars. Ii has
also been ordered that ships loading ut the Guahape
Islands shall clear at Payta, instead OF making the
long return TO Calao; and already steps are being
taken TO facilitate the despatch OF vessels a. the
former port. The merchants in C2llao, though
grumbling at the change, arc making arrangements
to establish agencies al Payta, and It viii become

II seems that Peru viii never be free from caami-
ties. IN several parts OF the country but more es-
peciay In Lima and Cailao the smallpox Is raging
severely and the government have found IL necessary
to despatch physicians TO the aced districts remote
FROM the capital The presence OF this disease Is due.
