honorable and conscientious journalists

Governments of Ecuador overthrown.


Guayaquil, Aug. 2S-The war In Ecuador
is virtually ended. Quito has pronounced
for Aifaro. Belisario Albam Mertanza has
been appointed temporary military and
civil chief of the city. The forces of the
conservative government fed in fearful
disorder at the approach of the patriots
The first act of these on their assumption
of government was to liberate all political
prisoners. The phases of the conquest sue
ceeded one another quickly. The patriots,
under Col. Luis Alfaro, defeated at Giron
200 Quito troops under Col. Vega. Among
the 200 prisoners taken the greater number
were young men Of Cuenca and officers.
The victors. made n triumphant entry into
Cuenca July 2S. The Guayaquil govern
ment has issued a decree making respon-
sible for all the war expenses those who
insisted on sustaining the conservative
government. In the battle at Portete
about 100 men were killed. Among them
the most eminent were Col. Hector Bravo
and Abel Laudino.
