Central American TROUBLES.

WAsHINoToN, June pa report has
been received at the navy department
from Admiral Jouelt, announcing the
failure of the parties interested to settle
disputes in the United States Of Colombia.
He says political differences between the
two parties are OF such a nature that a
peaceable settlement is quite impossible
this time. Hostilities are likely to con
tinue indefinitely. Government troops,
he reports, are marching on %Barranquilla.
The revolutionary leaders, the admiral
says, are the leaders of the Liberal party
in Colombia. The troubles on the 18TH
mus, Admiral Jouett thinks, result from
politics. and from the fact that many de-
PRAYED characters c%ongregate there, He
anticipates hard fighting in Colombia.
