ECUADOR.

Guayaquil letter of August IA gives the following
account of the assassination Of President Moreno of
Ecuador On Friday the 9th inst the President Of
Ecuador Don Gabriel Garcia Moreno assassinated
in the corridor of the public Treasury Quito between
two and three o'clock in the afternoon Passing from
one Office to another in the building he was met
by three men, who, having saluted him as they
passed turned and attacked him-one q Co
lombian with a machete, and the other two,
who we're natives of Quito, with revovers.
In the struggle the President fell the balcony into
the public square and report says that the Colombian
descended the stairs and then further maltreated him.
The President died few hours after the attack and the
Colombian killed the spot by the sentinel of the
No division guard at the barracks just in front Of
the Treasury An unarmed ade-de-calnp OF the Pres
ident on hearing the shots rushed out TO

bullet wound but not severe one. The two

they have been apprehended Ihelr names are
Faistino Rayo, the Colombian; Manuel CQmejo and
Roberto Andrade Il is doubtful as yet what action
of the President called forth the revengeul feeling
which prompted the attack but II is reported TO be Of
private nature and ascrbed TO personal animosity.
Rayo the Colombian, had been Governor OF the Napo,
and il is said his animosity from the mode in
which he was degraded from that position; but il is
TO create bitter feelings against himself since he
