LATER NEWS BY STEAMER,

d. The following is the news in detail brought by
the steamer Arizona, which arrived at New
York yesterday, with Aspinwau advices to
July 17:-
The New NIosoucra Conspiracy.
The Panama Star and Herald contains the fol
lowing
Early yesterday morning, 9th instant, Senor
Holguin of Bogota, who arrived here few days
ago per steamer Seine from Santa Martha, and
Senior Veljarano, of the Cauca who came here
by the steamer Talca on the 18th ult, were
placed under arrest by order of President Cor
reoso-Colonel Forero and Major Vegal, COM
manding the national troops stationed here,
executing the order-and confined in la CdrceL
publiod in Plaza Chiriqui. The gentlemen named
were, we understand, on their way South, and
intended leaving per steamer Bogota to-day.
The gentlemen were suspected of having in
their possession political documents relating
chiefly to the late elections which they were
commissioned by the conservative party to carry
to General Mosquera, now in Peru The per-
sonal baggage of Senior Holguin was taken from
the Grand Hotel yesterday and searched, and
the documents referred to found therein. Senor
Holguin was formerly editor of the La PrenSd
of Bogota, and was member of the late Con-
gress.
Subsequent information is to the effect that
DIR. Holguin was the bearer of certain documents
of great political import to General Mosquera
and to the President of a foreign Government,
the object of which was to upset the present
national administration, place General Mosquera
at the head of affairs, and tpSe fdcto prevent the
declare who has been the lawfully elected Presi-
dent for the next constitutional term.
The papers speak of the policy to be esta-
blished through General Mosquera, embracing a
ConCOrddt with the Pope, the return OF the eXiled
nuns to the converts, the annulment of the laws
for the sale of church property, etc. But there
is another charge of a still more serious charac-
ter, the request made to the President of a
foreign republic to furnish General Mosquera
with the pecuniary and other means to facilitate
his operations, the parties making the request
giving that high functionary the assurance that
they speak in the name of the national party,
composed of the great majority of the people,
whose representative man is General Mosquera
and are possessed of all the elements required to
accomplish the object in view.
Affairs in Chilli.
Advices from Valparaiso to June II report that
the merchants and other prominent citizens of
that city have united to found college to be
called the "American Institute" The capital is
half million of dollars, in shares of $3.50 each,
payable in five per cent. dividends. Nearly all
the required capital has been subscribed and
plans are called for.
From the Auracanian frontier the news con-
tinues to be most unsatisfactory. The Indians
have reopened hostilities, and are making raids
on the outlying settlements. 1t is said that on
the river Cantin there has been a meeting of
'Caciques' or Chiefs, at which it was resolved
to reconquer Malleco or to die.
Affairs In Peru.
Throughout the southern districts of Peru
pletely disappeared, and business is gradually
resuming its unwonted activity.
The railway company between Lima and
Pisco Cone hundred miles) is organized, the sur
vey is finished, and as the line is nearly u dead
level all the way, and rails and other material
already under way, the line will soon be COM
pleted.
The project of the Government for colonizing
the AmaZones region has not been successful.
Only one family, that of Colonel Calvo, number
ing ten persons in ALL have come forward to be
the pioneers in that wild but traditonally fertile
and wealthy region. Mr.. Nystrom, the Govern
ment engineer and with the late expedition to
Chaushamayo under Colonel Pereira, in his re-
port recently sent in to the Government makes
the following observations with respect to emil
grafton thither-
sit must be noted that in every settled country the
most prosperous and populous colonies are those
rivers and that the junction OF two rivers is
still preferable is the case in settlements Of
the United States of America On the strength of
such experience | therefore propose that the new
colonies be established the peninsula between the
rivers Urubamba and Tambo this being a tract of
minerals, and believe the best adapted for agricu-
tura purposes throughout Peru. All natures gifts
are contained in this peninsula; it is the centre of
Peru, and the most considerable rivers of the re-
public unite in its vicinity viz, the river Apurmac
rising in the lagoon Velafro in the department of
two hundred miles in length to its Junction"
