was carried to the American legation
where he expired
The presidential party was riding
along the boulevard when they were
met by fullisade of shots fired from
side street. General Caceres fell
at the first volley. His guard re-
turned the fire and General Tejera
paid with his life the penalty of the
crime.

The political career of General

begun when he avenged the execu-

alter the latter had been driven from
the presidency. He became vice
president under President Morales.
and later, when Morales was at odds
with his own party, and unable TO
cohtrol his cabinet, fled from the
country, Cacerez was installed in the
presidency. This was in December
