Via KINGSTON, JAM, Feb. 6, 1871. .
THE UNITED STATES OF COLOMBIA.
BY the last mail we have dates from Bogota
to the 18th Of January, and regret to state that!
another revelation has been inaugurated
in the United States of Colombia. A.
party in the State of Boyaca has
arisen against Perez. Martial law has
been proclaimed in three departments and the
insurgents are preparing to invade Tunja, tha
capital. Perez is organizing his forces and isl
preparing for vigorous defence and promises
a stout resistance. II is generally Supposed
however, that the rebels will succeed in over,
powering the forces of the legitimate govern.
ment. The Mosquera party is known to bs
implicated in this movement, and the proba,
blities are that il will spread to the other
States until the whole country is again inJ
volved in civil war, which will only end when
Mosquera is once more placed in power.
We have again suffered from very heavy
freshct The track Of the Panama Railroad
has once more been submerged, so that ALI
traffic was stopped on the 9th, 25th and 26tlRl
of January. The water has since slbsided
and trains are once more running.
CENTRAL AMERICA
! am glad to be able to inform you that thcl
war cloud which hung over the republics oG
Central America has been dispelled, the
troubles between Honduras and Saivador
having been satisfactorily adjusted
In Costa Rica the coffee crop has been very
seriously damaged by the heavy rains.
We have dates from Lima to the 22d o6
January. Congress has authorized loan Of
fifteen millions of dollars, to be used in the
construction Of railroads, to be raised on the
security of the roads and guano deposits
same as the Dreyfns contract. Opponents Of
the government will elect a commissioners to
scrutinize the acts Of the Congress.
There is now strong prospect Of war
between Peru and Bolivia, the revolutionary
party in the latter republic charging the Peru
vians with having aided Melgarejo, their legt1
innate President. The insurgent Bolivans
threaten to invade Peru, but Peru is defiant
and tells them to come on.
BOLIVIA.
The revolution still continues to gain ground,
aud there is not the slightest doubt but that
Melgarejo will be overthrown and himself be-
compelled to fly the country. The insurgent
party is everywhere successful.
Our dates from Valparaiso are to January
10. The Presidential election is the most
exciting topic in that republic at present;
everything is absorbed by it. The anti-cleri-
cal party have nominated as their candidate
Jose Urmenita and the clerical party Fredo-
rico Errazurz. We hear no opinion expressed
as to the probable result. The anti-clerical
party is very strong, however, and Of late
years has be en- gaining strength; but the
influence of the Church party in Chile is very
hard to overcome.
