spondent OF the .Star and HeruM writing
on February I'D says: Pierala is still
in Janja, which he terms the capitol of
the republic. Gen. Baquedano has de-
clared the Chilian representatives will
have nothing to do with him, and they
are giving support to movement now
begun for the purpose of establishing a
provisional government. Several infor-
NAL meetings have been held, and they
may lead to the creation OF n reigning
power to cOunterbalance that now welded
by M0ntero, the north, Pierala and Sola
rino, the south, Of this unfortunate
country.
At the invitation of General LaCotra
and Seniors Fuentes- -Nivor and Mariateque
about 30 persons assembled at General
LaCotra's house on the 18th instant.
After some debate resolution was
adopted declaring that the time had
arrived when it was necessary to refuse
to recognize the acts of Pierala and to re-
turn to the constitutional form of govern
nent which had been overthrown by
him, placing at its head General La
Puerta, who was president of the Republic
at the time of the Pierala revolution in
December 1879. General LaPuerta,
however, has refused to accept Office,

discussing as to whom they shall elect.

for weeks past to obtain the nomination.

and order had to he restored for second
time. On this occasion 20 or 30 Of the
rioters were killed and now temporary
peace reigns in Truiillo. Similar scenes
| were enacted all over the country.
| number of troops were to have
left for Chill during the present
week, but General Baquedano has
determined that under present circum
stances it is better to return them
here. They will probably soon be bar
racked outside of this city, In this cast
they will cease to do police duty as at
present, and then if foreigners do moi
turn out affairs will assume most threat
rning aspect.
There are thousands who desire TO re-
sumo the work they only partially
effected during the night prior to tn,
entry of the Chilian forces.
1t is surprising to note with what in
tensity the blacks and mulattos hate til,
foreigners and the wealthy generally
Misery and destitution are alarming
prevalent.
Thousands of people who have hitherto
