principal square-an ominous warning that the
people Of Peru have at length learned to under
stand and to protect their rights.
THE EXCITING CAUSES.
This revolt against the Dictatorship has been
moved by moral force. The tremendous voice Of
the populace calling for the observance OF the
stitution and the law, has made itself heard above
all the sounds Of cannon and rides Even while
participating in the awful scenes have just de.

and one general-had met their day of doom.

During the revolt the fighting in the city was not

their barracks, or, when rebeling they ned to the
country.

FIRST RESULTS.
The murder Of Balta put end to all vacillation;
arms and the enemy was the universal cry.
Order is now completely restored. Colonel Zeval-

somewhat anxiously awaiting the return Of their
favorite, Don Manuel Pardo, who has been advised
OF this turn In his favor, and who will arrive in
Lima to-day. The political programme Is very SIM
pie.
Tomorrow the President, Zevallos, calls Congress
again together, the examination OF the electoral
returns Is proceeded with, and the I'd OF August
or thereabouts, ZevallOs resigns the supreme com.
mand of the Republic into the hands Of the Presi-

HOW THE PEOPLE DISPOSED OF THE GUTIERREZ
DEAD.
The fury Of the people against the Gutierrez party
can be judged by their yesterday taking the naked
bodies OF the three Gutierrez brothers from the
lampposts to which they had been hung and hoist
ing them by means Of pulleys to the tower OF the
Cathedral. At the height Of 100 feet they were let
CO. They were then saturated with kerosene and
burned on the plaza In 'front.' Of the Cathedral.
The house and furniture Of Gutierrez were en-
trely demolished also.
