in Lima, led by Tomas Gutierrez, Min
lister of War. President Balta was
seized and thrown into prison, and Gu

of terror followed the imprisonment Of
Baltas. BartO, President elect, made his
escape to the feet. Suddenly the troops
deserted Gutierrez, company after COM

of three Gutierrez were hung in the Plaza

had sailed for CallOa. On the declara-
ton of the dictatorship the Limeria re-
termed on the twenty-seventn, followed
by the Peruvian irOn-clad Independent
ella with Bardo on board. He was re-
ceived with rapturous cheers by the
people. The bloody dictatorship lasted
about four days. For some days the
rails of the railroad track to Lima were
torn up and the telegraph wires cut
