Prospects of a Revolution In Peru-War

The correspondent of the New York tribune
writing from Lima, Peru, July IA, says
The prospects of revolution are very dim.

Some anxiety exists as to the choice of

Balta can manage to satisfy public opinion, his
path will be very clear; but, on the contrary, If
persons are appointed who do not enjoy the
public confidence, trouble Will ensue; Toe war

Many years back, in the remote provinces
and departments, a system of vassalage has
been adopted by the large planters and land
owners, and the Indians, uneducated and timid
have always, until recently, bowed meekly to
the yoke. But in 1867 great rising of the chOLOS
Iot place, and for some months war of castles,
the most terrible of all conflicts was greatly

mediately did all In their power TO do away
with the most grievous of the existing abuses,
and the society referred to improved the occa-
sion by converting this temporary advantage
into lasting one.
The laws passed in favor of the Indians we're
translated into the language of the interested
parties and distributed among them; the exist
ence and aim of the AssC clation werelmade gene-
rally known; and now we have the satisfaction
of learning that nearly all of the grievances
have been abolished, and the status of the de-
SceDdRnts of the Incas greatly improved. The
condition of affairs between Cnili and this
country is not comfortable as might be de.
sired, but IL is believed that no serious difficulty
Will ensue. and the republics will maintain the
same peaceful relations as before. All the
trouble arises from the natural indignation
expressed by Peru concerning the Chilian-
Spanish arrangement in London.
