NEW YORK, March 22.-The Herald's special cable dispatch from Lima Peru says: A provisional government formed through the intervention of diplomats and papal nuncio has been organized. Senor Candamo has been made provisional presi- dent, and also acts as minister of foreign affairs. The Caceras regime is represented in the new government by Luie Fieipe VilIaran and Ricardo Wespinoza. For the revolutionary party Busament Salazar and Dr. Milparsida have been selected. Under the terms of the agreement by which hostilities ceased, President Carce- res surrendered the reins of goverument and will retire to Ancon.
 Nicolas Pierola leader of the revolu- tionists and formerly president, will go to Chorllos. There was also an immediate reorganization of the department of Lima. The new government has issued an order releasing all political prisoners.
 The banks have loaned money, and the troops have been paid and the forces dis banded. News from the north Is that both armies in that section are under arms. Colonel Pauli, chief of the revolutionary staff, directed operations around Lima. He entered the city with Pierola, Isaias and other revolutionary chiefs. Pauli was slightly wounded. But few of the revolu tionary chiefs were hurt in the battle, but more than 100 Oacerst leaders were wounded.
 This change in the government is the re- suit of the three days battle in Lima. The revolutionary forces, led by PIerola, en- tered the city at dawn Sunday morning. Their entrance was not suspected by the guards in the city, as heavy mist con- cealed their movements. When the forces reached the principal squares they seized the Church of Towers and other favorable positions.
 Immediately desperate battle begun, which lasted all through the day and part of the night. It was intensely dark, as the gas supply was cut off, and the streets. houses and other buildings were without illumination. When the lighting ceased at night the drunken soldiers roamed through the streets firing shots recklessiy.
 The battle YVES renewed atb o'clock Mon day morning and continued all through the day. The night was one of terror. Dep- relations by the govern ment forces marked the opening of hostilities Tuesday. The troops sacked the Union and National clubs and many of the shops Then the diplo- mats and the papai nuncio, Monsignor Macchi, intervened. An armistice was arr
 ranged for twenty-four hours to. give an opportunity to bury the dead aud remove was danger of pestilence from the dtad bodies In the streets. They were collected in piles and burned in the Plaza des Armas yesterday.
