held by these volunteers and they were sum.

nized that the permanent commission was the
source of re-actionary agitation, called upon
the commission to dissolve willingly or be dis
solved forcibly, and decreed its dissolution,

coming violent forced their way into the
presence of the comm Ssion, but members of
the ministry were personally protected from
obnoxious individuals. The Reds have post
ed themselves at every street corner, holding
possession of the city. 1t is variously re-
ported that Serrano has been thrown into
prison and that he has left the city.
