ance Of Early Peace.
500 ARE KILLED and WOUNDED
Fighting Has Been Going on for Several
Days-Many Public Build
ings Damaged.

Buenos Ayres, July z. - Advicss
received here yesterday state that the
revolutionists have been victorious in
Paraguay and that a new government
has been established. These advices
have been confirmed by dispatch, ,e-
ceived by the minister of foreign af-
fairs from the Argentine legation at
Asuncion, officially notifying the min
lister that the revolutionary party had
succeeded in overthrowing the Para
guayan government and that several
of the Paraguayan ministers of state
had taken refuge in the legation. The
revolutionists have appointed as pres
ident DR.. Emiliano Gonzales Naveiro.
He held the Office of vice president in
the government which has just been
ousted. Unofficial dispatches state
THAT the new cabinet includes Manuel
Gondra, the Paraguayan minister to
Brazil; DR.. Eusebio Ayala, DR.. Alviro
lara, DR.. Adolfo Rigulme and DR..
Manuel Franco.
Will Assure Early Peace.
These represent a combination of
the two most powerful parties in Par
aguay, the Liberal and Colorado, and
it is believed that their appointment
will assure early peace to the coun-
try.
The members of the former govern
ment, who included Manuel Benitz,
minister of interior; Cecilio Baez, Cor
eign affairs; Gen. RIGS, war; Adolfo
SOLDER, finance, and Carlos Isasi, min
lister of justice, it is understood, have
taken refuge in the foreign legations.
Fighting has been proceeding in the
streets of Asuncion for some days
past and many of the public buildings
have been seriously damaged. Pre-
vious estimates of the killed and
wounded, however, have been exag-
gerated, and it is now believed that
the number will not exceed 500. 1t is
expected that Geographic communica-
ton with Asuncion will be restored
to-day.

MINNEAPOLIS JURY
E J L: HICKS
School Board Member Freed
! on Bribery Charge. :

Minneapolis, Nov. 27-William K.
Hicks, member of the Minneapolis
board of education, is not guilty of
accepting a bride. Hicks was exon
Grated by the jury which for the last
week has been hearing { idence in
the Hennepin county district court.
AS the verdict was read by the
clerk the accused board member fair
~ trembled with excitement, then
suddenly leaned over and kissed his
wife. His next move was to hug his
attorney, James Peterson, and shake
hands with the jurymen all around.
Hicks was tried on a charge Of
accepting bride from w. J. Burns, a
detective, known to him as W. J.
Bray, salesman for closets. In order
to secure il closet order Bray, it was
alleged, gave the accused member $780,
The defense claimed that the $50
was understood at the time by both
parties to be a loan, as Hicks was
hard up and needed money to repair
his house, and chat note was given
covering the amount.
There are still three indictments
against Hicks, each charging the TAX
ing of a bribe, but as the evidence
would be much the same in these
cases as the one just tried it is pos.
sible the indictments will be nolled.
