In my letter been committed Although the movement which has secretly been on foot against Colonel Balta seems to be in a mori- bund condition that for the purpose of inducing Prado’s return to Peru appears to be advancing. Of course with Prado fell a large number of militaryand civil office holders, among whom were numbered some of the best and most active men of the country. These men, after the exciting days of the dictatorship, the Spanish war, and the unfortunate attempts of Prado to suppress the late revolt, cannot remain tranquil, but must from necessity be engaged in something. That something pour suute de mieux is an attempt to form plans which would involve the country in more trouble and more war, and would call Prado to the endeavor to attain supreme power Although the party moving in this mat- ter is very strong, and relies confidently on help from Chile and Bolivia, yet it Jabors under the same drawback with the other—a wanj of the sinews of war, money. The rich people of the republic are perfectly content in cultivating their sugar and cotton plantations and receiving large interests from their invested capital, and consequently are far from willing to embark in any scheme of dubigus probability. The ruin of property and estates com- mitted during the last revolution has been a deeply felt warning to this class of citizens. Still the con- spiracy progresses, the government is perfectly aware of the steps being taken, but as no immediate danger is apprehended, and as the present adminis- tration goes out of efMfice on July 28, they do not deem it worth the trouble to arrange matters for their successors, Balta, with a depleted treasury, a discontented country, troublesome foreign relations and the great bugbear of Prado hanging over him, will not easily delude himself with the idea that the horse hair of the Presidential seat is a fragrant couch of rose leaves. Matters in these republics, however, progress in such wonderful ways, 60 many unlooked for events occur and no rule can be laid down concerning the ordinary course of things, that all of these-dangers may blow over and the republic may enjoy peace and tranquillity for years to come. It is needless to remark that suoh an occurrence would be hailed by all Peruvian patriots (their number 1s limited) with intense joy, and foreigners here might even forget the terrors and horrors of the yellow fever in their Peru, with her wonderful re- sources and immenae wealth, only requires a few yeare of peace and tranquillity to attract foreign capital and foreign labor and open to the world a field of riches little inferior to the El Dorado of the early conqierors. : The administration has been attention to financial matters. here that a large and influential portion of the ;rn party, which now holds the reins of power, was’ upposed to the election of Colonel Balta to the Presidential station, and now, since his an established fact, is actively engaged in all sorts of plans to prevent his inauguration.

If the engineer is censurable, how much more 80 the Fire Commissioners for sending the engine out when they had been informed of the danger attending its use? "Was it not their duty to have examined (if they were competent) the engine, and known from their own observation the safety or danger attending its use? It seems too bad that they should saddle the blame of their own ig- norance or wilful neglect upon the shoulders of the engineer, If the Fire Commissioners are competent men in the position, they are the persons to blame; if they are not competent what business, have they en- deavoring to amcherge. the duties of such a position? I do not Know how the Commissioners obtain their appointments, butsuppose the same as the inspectors of ‘hulls and boilers,” not 80 much on account of their ability as thetr political influence. What is the cause of boiler explosions? I answer, it is simply @ scarcity of water in the boiler. Many persons have theorized upon the subject and have given vari- ous reasons, I will give to your numerous readers the result of actual experiments, EXPERIMENT NUMBER ONE. A boiler being submitted to a hydrostatic pressure of 212 pounds to the square inch (cold water) was filled with steam at a pressure of sixty pounds to the square inch, as per Ashcraft’s steam gauge. The same fire that was used to generate the steam was at under the steam boiler or drum, and the same mperature continued for a little time. (I have not the report of the experiments with me and quote from TREATS) There was no perceptible change in ‘the pressure indicated by the gauge, wlien upon opening. ‘@ valve in the boiler a terrific explosion oc- curred, What caused the explosion in that case? EXPERIMENT NUMBER TWO. ‘The boiler or steam drum was of the same strength, &c., a8 that of No.1. Steam generated as before an a stop £00k. pus into the connections between the boiler containing the water and the one containing the steam. There were inserted into the steam drum the wires of a heavy electric battery, and, after get- a ure of sixty pounds to the square inch, the cock in the connection was closed and the fire applied to the drum, as in‘expesiment No. 1. No in- crease of pressure indicated by the gauge. When the electric current was applied there was another explosion. What caused the explosion in that case? EXPERIMENT NUMBER THRE This was a drum tested by @ hydrostatic pressure of three hundred pounds to the square inch.
