OLD REGIME is
OUSTED; PERU
HAS NEW RULE
Legui Overthrows Pardo
Government in Blood
less Revolution.

GiInds RSfu, fTlQayp July 4.-N6y
the Associated Press).-Augusto B.
Leguia, late today assumed Office as
provisional president Of Peru and
took up his residence in the gov
ernment palace as a result of the
| successful overthrow earlier in the
day of President Pardo.
Virtually no lighting and no cas-
ualties marked the overthrow of
the Pardo government. Senor Le-
guia is supported by virtually all
of the army and naval forces in
Lima and Peru public opinion ap-
parently is behind him.
The revolution began at o'clock
this morning with an attack on the
palace by troops and a force of
police.
1t was announced late today that
President Pardo woald be placed
on trial on charges pf having vio-
lated the constitution and of having
conspired against the obstruction of
the republic.
Inauguration saon.
The Inauguration of Senior Leguia
as president, it is said. probably
will take place within two months.
The provisional president claims
that he received 100000 votes of the
100000 cast in the recent presiden-
tia1 election.
The Fourth of July had been pro-
claimed as a national holiday by
President Pardo. Thousands of
persons thronged the streets today
rhAnn5no for GAnnw 7 A
crowd assembled before the govern
ment palace and called on Leguia
for. speech.
Favorable to Allies.
The provisional president, speak
ing from the balcony of the palace,
declared that he intended to organ
ize a strong government on a pop
ular basis and to increase the army.
and navy to the status they lad
held during his previous term as
president from 1908 to 1912. He
said he would defend the principles
of justice and right which had tri-
umphed in the great war and would
associate Peru without reserve with
the cause of the allies. He intend
ed, he said, to extend every facility
for the introduction of foreign cap
ital to aid in the development of
natural resources.
Tried to Avoid Force.
Senor Leguia, in a statement to
the Associated Press, said he had
made every effort to avoid depos-
ing President Pardo by force, but
it had become increasingly evident
that conspiracy was afoot to de-
priVe him OF the office to which he
had been chosen in the recent cleo
ton. Money, the provisional presi-
dent said, was used freely in an eff
fort to procure sufficient votes of
members of congress to annul the
elections.
Last night Senor Leguia declar-
ed he learned of a plot to arrest
him and send him into exile, and as
a last resort he gave orders to the
army chiefs favorable to him, to go
ahead with their plan to overthrow
the Pardo government Senior
Pardo and his ministers, he added,
would be dealt with justly. Senor
Leguia said he had no personal ami
mostly against any member of the
Pardo government.
Confident of Provinces.
There are no reports from the
provinces concerning the situation
there, but Senior Leguia and his as
sociates expect no difficulties in
that quarter.
The provisional president ex-
poets to announce his cabinet /
shortly.

by General Graves TO General Otani, the

formed by Pope Julius II, several years
previous, with the hope Of expelling
Louis XII of France from Italy, now
subscribed, most of them reluctantly, to
the treaty of universal peace promul-

Strange to say, one of the first agree

objective of securing an aggregate
