Particulars II the Revolution in Peru

Peruvian dates to the 2Sth of July
give details Of the late revolution. On
the 22d the revolution broke out in
Lima, headed by Thomas Gutierrez,
Minister of War. President Balta was
seized and thrown into prison snd
Gutierrez declared himself dictator.
He was supported only by the army.
A reign of terror followed the impris-
onment of Balta. Pardo, the Presi-
dent elect, made his escape TO the fleet.
Suddenly CaIlao, up to the morning of
the 9th, was scene of anarchy. Elr-
ing went on unfortunately in the
streets, and it is impossible TO estimate
the number killed. Some bodies still
lie on the streets. Sylvester Gutierrez,
a brother of the Dictator, was shot ut
the Lima railway station one evening.
In order to revenge his death, Mareha-
no Gutierrez, another brother, deliber-
ately shot and killed President Balta
in his bed III prison, and the express
dent received wounds. After this,
Thomas Gutierrez himself ard another
brother were killed, and the dead
bodies of the three Gutierrez were
hung in the Plaza Mt Lima. Immediately
on the receipt OF the news of the muir
der of Balta, the steamer Lima left
for the fleet, which had sailed for Cal
loa on the declaration of the Dictator
ship. The Lima returned on the 9th,
followed by the Peruvian iron-clad In
depencia with Pardo on board. He
was received with rapturous cheers by
the people.
The bloody dictatorship lasted about
four days. Some days rails on the
track and lines were torn up, and the
telegraph wires cut. Gutierrez made n
forced loan on Dreyfoos, Meiggs, and
each of four banks for S3OO,OOO Mr..
Dawaon, manager Of the London bank,
was imprisoned until he made the loan
1t is stated that Dreyfoos guarantees
the money back. On the 9th he made
an eloquent address to thousand
spectators from his house.
The fury of the people against the
Gutierrez party can be judged by their
taking the naked bodies of the Gutter
req brothers from a lamp post to which
they had been hung, and hosting
them by means of pulleys on the tower
of the cathedral At hight of 100 feet
there were let go, and were saturated
with Kerosene and burned on the plaza
in front of the cathedral. The furniture
OF Gutierrez was entirely demolished
also.
Pardo proceeded to Lima on the
9th He was enthusiastically received.
The 2Sth was the date for declaring,
formally, the election of Pardo as
President Francesca Balta, brother
Of the murdered President, took refuge
on the English war steamer Reindeer.
The ex- Director Gutierrez was trying
to escape in disguise. He rushed into
a drug store in Lima after the murder
of Bata, followed by the people, and
was at once killed. A young man adj
dressed the crowd "Look at this
CHASTITY form the body of one who has
received the fate which awaits all who
put themselves above the law and defy
public opinion" The corpse Of Gutter
rez was carted through the streets of
Callao before being sent to be hung and

The epidemic which has broken out among
the horsep in the Dominion OF Canada is most
singular one. A few days back We published
the news that all the horses in Toronto were

were compelled to cease running. Now We are
informed that the disease has extended
throughout the province, and is SO severe as 10
cause serious interruption to business. As in
Toronto, SO also in Montreal the street cars have
ceased to run. Three hundred horses are sick
in the stables Of the car company. It is not
alone in the cities, however, that the epidemic
has spread. but the agricultural community has
suffered. Farmers, because of its prevalence

The CALAMITIEs WHICH WOULD FOLLOW
GRANT's RE-ELECTIoN.-Senator Schurz
made . speech at st. Charles, Mo, on Monday
night, in which he said the Liberals intend to
vigorously fight to the end Of the campaign /;
that there was nothing in the events which
have just taken place, and in the circumstan-
ces surrounding them, which would in any
way dampen the spirit of the men engaged in
the Liberal movement. He said if Grant was
reelected, the country would witness the
most corrupt administration it had ever seen.
He denied that there was freedom of election
in the South, and prophesied time when they
would have toi"fght fire with fire, force with
force, and the country would witness the de-
plorable results seen in Mexico and South
America. He said that four years from now
they might be compelled to elect Grant for the
third time, and they would not be able to help
themselves, for in thAt time he would be able
to elect himself. He stated that he had al

charging them said he was informed that they had
