wounded by one of the white men, W.
L. Breeding, and the latter was in turn
shot by the Chief and killed. Chief Hill
also shot the other white man, Il. s. Car
ter, in the arm. Colonel burlington said
the body of Breeding was taken in charge

a Coroner's inquest. The Indians were
quiet and propose to await the action of
the authorities, rather than to resort to
reprisals for the killing of the Chief
Colonel burlington said the facts were
given him by Captain Woodson. who is
the agent in charge of the Cheyennes.
Captain Hunter and two mounted men
were sent from the fort to the scene of the
shooting.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Chinese

it now has the right-of-way on the execu-

doubt that the treaty will be ratified, but
there will be some objections and ex-

Other Western Senators, while not so
positive in their opposition as Mr.. Per-
kins, probably will support Mr.. Perkins
in his position. Senator White favors
the treaty. His support and that OF Mr..
Geary, author of the Chinese registration
law, have given the Administration much

ing them that the treaty will prove accept

CRNSASeA
WASHINGTON. April 4.-General Cam
evaro, the Peruvian Minister to Washing-
ton, has had no information of the as
sumption of the dictatorship of Peru by
General Caceres, and he does not believe
that it is possible. The latest advice he
has had was cablegram last night from
the new Minister of Foreign Affairs an
nouncing the assumption of the Presi-
dental Office by Bergono, the Vice.
President, and the formation of new
Cabinet.
The situation in Peru, as it is under
stood here, is as follows. There should
have been an election of a successor TO
President Bermudez last Saturday. The
leading candidates were Caceres, an ex-
President, and Balcasar, the Speaker Of
the House of Representatives By the
sudden death of the President, however,
this election was postponed indefinitely.
The office meantime would have devolved
upon Senor Del Solar, the First Vices
President. He had originally been Ca
cerist and owed his advancement TO Gen-
eral Caceres, but recently incurred his
illwill by his personal aspiration for
office. Therefore. he feared to assume the
Presidency, as Caceres is the power OK
the lanQ.
Solar is reported to have fled to the
shelter of British ship. Thereby, under
the Constitution, the Presidency passed.
to the Second Vice-President, and the
latter assumed the office. He is a stall
wart Cacerist, and as the latter would be-
almost certain to secure the succession it
would appear to be almost folly to divide
his party and create fresh woes in defy
ing the laws and assuming dictatorship
at this time. The situation is further
complicated by the failure of Chile to
ratify the agreement, which had been al
| most heralded at the time of the Presi-
dents death, for a determination by %
plebiscitum of the possession of the
provinces Of Tacna and africa, and it is
feared by the Peruvians that it is Chile's
disposition to postpone the matter until
such time as she can take advantage Of
internal disturbances in Peru to perpet-
uate her possession of the provinces, in
disregard of the treaty stipulations.

Solar, who was First Nice-P President of

the army and navy under control of the

to usurp the functions guaranteed by the
