er by the revolutionists near Gu
seco. News from the north is that
both armies of that section are
still under arms. Col. PAUL., chief
of the revolutionary staff, directed
the operations around Lima. He
entered the city with Pierola
Isaisa and other chiefs. PAUL. was
slightly wounded. But few Of the
revolutionary chiefs were hurt in
the battle, but more than one
hundred of the Cacers leaders were
wounded. The change in govern
ment is the result of a three days
battle in Lima.
The revolutionary forces, led by
Pierola, entered the city at dawn
Sunday morning. Their entrance
was not suspected by the guards in
the city as heavy mist concealed
their movements. When the forces
reached the principal squares, they
seized the church of the Towers
and other favorable positions. I'm
mediately desperate battle began
which lasted all through the day
and part of the night. 1t was in
tensely dark and as the gas supply
was cut of, the streets, houses and
other buildings were without il

ceased drunken soldiers roamed
through the streets firing shots
recklessly. The battle was re-

terror. The troops sacked the
Union and National clubs and
many Of the shops. Then the d.

hours to give an opportunity to
bury the dead and remove the dead
horses, as there was danger Of pes

streets. These were collected in a
pile and burned on the plaza.
AS result Of the days fighting
more than 300 were killed and
wounded on both sides. The Red
Cross ambulance rendered good
service during the battle. Many Of
the soldiers fired on the ambu-
lances. Many women assisted in
caring for the wounded. During
the fighting all the foreign offices
were in danger. Mrs. Mckenzie,
wife of the United States minister,
narrowly escaped being shot. More
than fifty refugees sought an asy-
