PERUVIAN PRESIDENT TAKEN
PRISONER BY REBEL BAND
Uprising Came as a Complete sur
prise, Minister OF War Being
Killed in Attack on Palace.

Lima, Peru.-The president Of the
republic of Peru, Guillermo Billing
hurst, was taken prisoner Wednesday
by military revolutionists.
President B%illinghurst was later
taken by the rebels as a prisoner to
Callao from which port he will be
sent into exile in a foreign country.
The rebels attacked the presidential
palace Wednesday morning under the
leadership of Colonel Benavides. Gen
eral Enrique Varela. premier and min
lister of war, was killed in the fight
which ensued. DR.. Augusta Durand, a
former revolutionary reader, took pos
session of the palace.
The attack on the palace began at
half-past four in the morning. In
habitants of Lima ran into the streets,
alarmed by the firing. Soldiers were
ordered to fire volleys into the air
In order to prevent the formation of
crowds and by this method they kept
the panic-stricken people moving from
place to place.
A civilian bystander was killed by
a bullet.
Peru's sudden revolutionary truoble
is due principally 10 President Bill
inghurst's earnest efforts to place the
finances of his country on a sound
basis. His scheme for doing this in
volved the strictest economies
throughout the public service and nat
urally proved unpopular, particularly
among officeholders. who saw theil
salaries and estimates pruned with q
merciless hand.

fate has been a mystery since the de-

the Mexican Northwestern railroad.
The tragedy is laid at the doors Of
Maxine Castillo. the bandit leader.
Railroad men here and In El Paso
are furious at Castillo's act. On Tues
day twenty-five of his men were cap
tured and executed by the rebels and
the next day, apparently in revenge,
he captured the freight train, ran 1t
into the south end OF the tunnel about
800 feet and there set fire to II.
The passenger train entered the
death trap from the north un%suspect-
ingly. probably travelling at it's usual
rate OF about twenty-five miles an
hour. When the engineer discovered
the trap 1t was too late.
Nothing but charred bones and but
tons were found by the rescuing party
which, with the aid of oxygen helmets
and pulmotors. succeeded in penetrat-
ing the Cumbre tunnel on Sunday.
