PANAMA, Dec 10.-Latest reports from Lima
represent the whole interior of the country as broken up
into local factions or political paSes each under its
favore leader asserting sovereignty under one or
another extraordinary title. The last TO join the
bcgercut leaders is Colonel Caeeros who, as Pieroas
principal Champion has been Tor some time threatening
Lima and has had possession of the 0roya Railroad
Chsoca toward the mountains. 1t was rumored by a
former mail that Pierola had anieably joined
Caceres and that the Gillian Commissioners, Alta
mrano aud Novoa were, trearing with Pieroa,
with a view TO arranging terms of peace Caceres pre-
vented any such possibility Hearing that Plerola was

called himself ruler Of sort the "friend OF the
loyal soldiers" the Military Chief Of the Army OF
the Centre" His manifesto was sent 20 Perola and his
secretary Garcia Garcia and had the effect Of hating
them in the Valley Of Junin. This manifesto is said TO
have been accompanied By passport for Pieroa ana
Garcia Garcia, aud it expected that they would
shortly embark, probably in Gillian SHIP for some
place Of safety Cacercs the only considerable force
which Peru boasts today and bis detection destroys the
last hope OF Pieroa, while it makes the situation no
easier for the Provincial Government or for the Chans
