At the same time the news arrived that Don
Manuel Pardo, the bugbear Of President Bata's
governments, had escaped from Lima ned to o port
called Chilca, short distance from Callao and,
on board of one Of the vessels Of the
feet had been proclaimed chief by the officers Of
the navy.
This intelligence created q profound sensation.
The supporters OF Balta and Of Pardo received
new Inspiration, SINCE as have before mentioned,
the two parties, once SO distinct, were united by
reason Of their enmity to their common foe.
Lima during this day. observed an ominous
silence. The shops were closed, the banks were
barricaded and the principal houses Of business
suspended all operations At an early hour the re-
port was current that Gutierrez had made de-
scent upon the money belonging to Dreyfus, which,
as has been noted, was made over to the American
legation that ONCE exercising the functions to

Peru. Such was indeed the desire OF the so-caled
government but on application to the director
OF the mint, where the bullion was stored, 1t was
discovered that all the metal was still In q crude
state, and that 1t would require some weeks to
melt and coin the silver. That means having failed,
the dictator called the bank directors together
and, contrary to his CUSTOM asked them politely to
lend him some money. Your correspondent has
found himself unable to arrive ct their answer;
stillit is almost certain that the request was &C.
ceded to, but under the most approved guarantees.
This, however, ts Q secret Of the bankers. The
sum mentioned as required by the dictator was
three hundred thousand dollars.
Attwelve O'Clock on the 25th the diplomatic rep
resentatives OF foreign nations assembled at the
residence Of their Dean, the Papal delegate, in
cordance with his invitation. After discussing the
position Of the new government de tacto, with re-
lation to the legations, 1t was decided to refuse
recognizance OF the administration Of General
Gutierrez, and very polite note was despatched
to DR.. Casos the General Secretary, stating that

that Gutierrez would accord all protection possible

MOTIVES OF POLICY.
The Bolivian Plenipotentiary, owing to some
financial matters Of grave import between his gov
ernment and that of Peru, found himself obliged
to recognize the new state OF affairs, and the
Italian Minister was also induced, for some reason
best known to himself to regard the government
Of General Gutierrez with an approving eye.
The Chevaler Garron, representing His Majesty
the King Of Italy in Peru is most accomplished
diplomat and one Of the most experienced OF the
corps in Lima, and has such an exaggerated num-
Der Of his countrymen to protect that an acknowl-
edgement Of de Jncto government on his part is
almost absolutely necessary. This is not essential
with the majority OF his colleagues, even II the
ferent.
Rather an interesting case as regards diplomatic
asylum occurred in the American Legation on the
evening Of the oath. 1t Is well known that as the
government Of the United states does not concede
the right Of asylum to foreign legations In Wash.

exact that privilege from other countries. police

from his guards and took refuge under the wings

his escort, followed him; but on the recep-
ton Of the intelligence Of the event in

ample apologies to Governor Thomas, and severely
