received here yesterday state that the
revolutionists have been victorious in
Paraguay and that a new government
has been established. These advices
have been confined by dispatch, &C.
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

These represent 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 telegraphic communica-
ton with Asuncion will be restored
to-day.

ton of Judge Lochren from the United

Judge Lochren sent a resignation to
the department of justice last winter,

to make the resignation effective upon
the appointment and confirmation of
his successor. This was done, but the
senate failing to confirm the nominal
ton of his appointed successor, Judge
Lochren now has sent his resignation
to take effect Immediately. It is nec-
essary therefore for Mr.. Purdy to pro-
coed at once to Minneapolis to attend
to the business of the federal court.

Mr.. Purdy will be out of office and UNI
able to obtain compensation for his
services as federal Judge.
