THE UNITED STATES OF COLOMBIA.
BY the last mail we have dates from Bogotal
to the 18th of January, and regret to state that
another revolution has been naugurated
in the United States of Colombia. A
party in the State of Boyaca has
arisen against Perez Martial law has
been proclaimed in three depar lments and the
insurgents are preparing to invade Tunja, tha
capital. Perez is organizing his forces and isl
preparing for vigorous defence and promises
stout resistance. II is generally supposed
however, that the rebels viii succeed in over1
powering the forces of the legitimate govern.

Mosquera is once more placed in power.
PANAMA.
We have again suffered from very heavy
freshet The track of the Panama Railroad,
has once more been submerged, so that all,
traffic was stopped on the 9th, 25th and 26t.1
of January. The water has since subsided
and trains are once more running.
CENTRAL AMERICA.
l am glad to be able to inform you that thej
war cloud which hung over the republics oa
Central America has been dispeled, the
troubles between Honduras and Salvador
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 OF
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 Dreyrus contract. Opponents Of
the government will elect a commissioners to
scrntinize the acts Of the Congress.
There is now a strong prospect Of war
between Peru and Bolivia, the revolutionary

vians with having aided Mslgarejo, their legit-
innate President. The insurgent Bolivians
threaten to invade Peru, but Peru is defiant
and tells them to come on.
The revolution still continues to gain ground.
and 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 Errazuriz. We hear no opinion expressed
as to the probable result. The ant-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.
