NEW YORK. August l3.-The following
are the particulars of the recent bloody
revolution in Peru, the assassination OF
! Balta by Gutierrez and the execution OF
| the latter by the pOpulsce Of CdliaO on the
twenty-eighth July:
On the twenty-second the revolution
broke out In Lima, headed by Thomas Gu
tierrez, Minister of War President Balta
was seized and thrown into prison, and Gu
tlerrez declared himself dictator He was
supported mainly by the army.
A reight Of terror followed the imprisOn-
| ment OF Balta. PaTdO, the Presidents elect,
! made his escape to the feet. Suddenly the
| troops deserted Gutierrez, company after
company, with vivas for PardO. CallaO, up
to the morning Of the twenty-seventh, was
the scene Of anarchy. Firing went on in
discriminatory in the streets, and it is i'm
possible to estimate the number of the
killed Some Of the bodies are still en- the
streets.
Sylvestre Gutierrez, a brother of the Die
tatOT, was shot at Lima railway station yes
terday. In the evening, in order to aVenge
his death, Marceleana Gutierrez, another
brother deliberately shot and killed Presi-
dent Balta in his bed in prison. Soon after
this, Thomas Gutierrez himself and another
brother we're killed, and the dead bodies Of
the three Gutierrez were hung in the plaza
at Lima.
Immediately on the receipt Of the news
of the murder OF Balta, the steamer Limena
left at midnight to look for the fleet, which
had sailed for Callca on the declaration of
the dictatorship. The Limena returned
about one o'clock in the evening of the
twenty seventh, followed by the Peruvian
iron-clad Independence, with PardO on
board. He was received with raDturOus
cheers by the people.
The bloody dictatorship lasted about four
days and the dictator now hangs on the
plaza between his two brothers. The fourth
brother lies with seven wounds, and is not
likely to recover for some days. The rails
on the track to Lima were torn up, and the
telegraph wires cut. Gutierrez made
a forced loan on DreyfOos, Meigs and
Of the four banks for $4,000 each, in
all 100000, Mr.. Dawson, manager of the
London Bank, was imprisoned until he
made the loan. 1t is stated that DreyfOOs
guarantees the money back to the parties.
CALLAO, July % -PardO proceeded to
Lima yesterday. Immediately after land
ing he was most enthusiastically received,
and made an eloquent address to thousands
Of spectators from the balcony Of his own
house The fury Of the people against the
Gutierrez party Gan be judged by their yes
terday taking the naked bodies of the three
brothers from the lamp-pOsts to which they
had been hung and hosting them by means |
OF pulleys to the tower of the cathedral. |
At the height Of one thousand feet they |
were let 90; they were then saturated with |
kerosene and burned ON the plaza in front |
of the cathedral. The house and the furni- |
tuTe Of Gutierrez were entirely demolished. !
A proclamation has been issued by the |
FIRST Vice President Balta, who has |
assumed the government to- |
day. The twenty-eighth is the date for de- |
claring formally the election Of PardO, as |
V,TF. J
pred on August ,. 1t is supposed that the |
Vice Presidents term, therefore will end at |
the same time and PardO will assume the !
government.
