NEW YORK, Marcn 22-A special dis
patch to a morning paper from Lima,
Peru, says: The provisional government
formed through the intervention OF the
diplomats and the papal nunclo has been
organized and is already in operation.
Senior Candio is provisional president and
also acts as minister of foreign AFFAIRS
The Caceres regi me is represented In the
new government by Seniors Nallerain and
Espanoa. For the revolutionary party
Bustament Salazar and DR.. Malhartlda
have been selected.
Provisional President Candio has named
Senior Vallerian as minister OF the inter
ior, Senior Espanoa as minister OF justice
and Senior Malhartida as minister OF
finance.
Upon the terms of the agreement BY
which hostiitieS ceased, President Caceres
surrendered the reins of the government
and will retire to Ancion. Nicolas Pierola
the leader of the revolutonists and form
erlv president, will go to Chorilos.
Caceres took refuge on board the Chilean
cruiser El Presdente Pinto. There was
also an immediate reorganlzton OF the
department of Lima, which consists OF
six provinces
The new government has issued an
order releasing all political prisoners.
The fear that the Caceres soldiery would
commit depredations has vanished.
Banks have loaned money, and the
troops have been paid, and the forces dis
banded The streets of Lima have a fes-
tive appearance. Revolutionary troops
fraternzed with the residents and cries
OF viva Peru viva Pierola" resound
ed through the streets. 1t is reported that
General Mas was made prisoner by the
revolutionists near Cuzzo.
News from the north is that both
armies in that section are still under
arms. Colonel Pull, chief of the revolu-
tionary staff, directed the troops around
Lima He entered the city with Pielola
and other chiefs. But few of the revolu
tionary chiefs were hurt in the battle, but
more than one hundred of the Caceres
leaders were wounded. This change in
the government is the result of a three
days battle in Lima. The revolutionary
forces led hy Peroa entered the city at
dawn Sunday morning. Their entrance
was not expected by the guards in the
CITY, as heavy mist concealed their moy-
ements. When the forces reached the prin-
cipal square they seized The favorable
positions. Immediately deserate battle
began which lasted all through the day
and part of the night.
1t was intensely dark, and as the gas
supply was cut off, the streets and build
ing5 were without illumination. When
the fighting ceased at night drunken SOL
shots recklessly. The battle was renewed
at . o'clock Monday morning and lasted
all through the day. The night was one
OF terror. Depredations by the Govern
ment forces marked the opening hostili-
tes on Tuesday. The troops sacked the
Union and National Clubs and many of
the shops.
Then the diplomats and the papal
nuncio Mgr. Macchi, intervened. An
armstice was arranged for twenty-four
hours TO give an opportunity to bury the
dead and remove the dead horses, as there
was danger from pestilence. They were
collected and burned in the Plaza des
Armes.
AS result of three days fighting more
than 1900 combatants were killed and
wounded on both sides. The Red Cross
ambulence service rendered great aid
during the battle. Many of the soldiers,
ignorant of the significance of the Dol
on the ambulance, fired on them. Many
foreign and native women assisted in
caring for the wounded. During the
fighting all of the foreign legations were
exposed. The American legation was in a
wife of the United States Minister mar,
rowly escaped being shot. More than
fifty refugees sought an asylum in this
legation.
LONDON, March pa dispatch to the
Times from Lima says the loss of killed
and wounded on both sides in the fight
ing about the capital was 2000 No
foreigners were killed. The city is now
quiet.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The trouble
between Nicaragua and Great Britain,
which has threatened to entangle the
United States, has not assumed the bellig-
erent aspect made out by recent reports.
These untrue reports were to the effect
that Great Britain has assured that there
would be no encroachment on American
soil. and with this understanding Great
Britain may lombard Greytown without
the intervention of the United States
That Great Britain made any such repre-
sentations is discredited by those best adj
vsed on the subject. 1t is known def
nitely that Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British Ambassador, has not seen Secre-
tary Gresham on the Nicaragua question
and has no communication whatever on
the subject. From the standpoint of Mic
aragua officials the question is readily
susceptible of peaceful adjustment, and
there is not remote chance of bonn
bardmet of Greytown. General Barrios,
the special Envoy of Nicaragua who re-
Gently left here for home, will soon return
TO Washington. From the British stand
point the trouble with Nicaragua is one
in which the interests OF the United
States and Great Britain are united
rather than opposed as when the British
Nice-Consul Mr.. Hatch, was expelled from
Nicaragua several citizens OF the United
States were also expelled. The latter
were allowed TO return, but it is believed
an indemnity for their expulsion was
quietly paid.

All rivals have been forced to yield the
palm.
