the government troops were withdrawn into Gu
artel and the palace, and the entry OF Caceres,
although not unexpected, was somewhat of a
surprise. His men captured Quartet, and the
churches Mercede and San Augustin, from which
they kept up fusilade. They also attacked the
Guadalupe railroad station. About $50
persons were killed in Mercedes and
Bodegenes streets and near the palaces
of Quare, where the fire was the hottest. Finally
the government troops made sortie and drove
out the mob. Caceres was accompanied by
about ninety horsemen. They appeared to have
been travelling all night and were not in condi-
tion to fight with the troops, well fed and fresh
from their beds. Three hundred prisoners were
taken. Caceres escaped. A German proprietor
of cigar store was killed while looking from
his balcony. All telegraph wires are cut for
miles out Of the city, and no trains were run.
Nothing occurred at Charillos. The cable staff
is all right Heavy guns were heard for some
hours, but no news as to the locality of the firing
was received up 10 $50 a. M. All is quiet this
morning in Lima The dead men and horses are
being removed and the pools of blood cleaned up.
The fight in the San Augustin church was finished
with closed doors. Caecers is said to have !,
800 disciplined troops, who were to have attacked
Calas. These may return. Last night there
were no guards in the streets.
