PERU. ’ Daring Capture of the Iron- Clad Huascar, ACTION OF THE GOVERNMENT. Death of the United States Con- sul at Iquique. Her Britannic Majesty’s Ship Shah, Lima, May 12, 1877. Another revolution has broken out in Peru, and the first step taken by tho conspirators has carried dismay into the ranks of the government. On the altervoon bf Sunday last, the 6th inst., the train to Callao, leaving Lima at three o'clock, bore to tue port two distinguished partisans of our old revolationary friend, Don Nicolas ae Pierola, tho former Minister of Finance under Colonel! Balta, and who has lamentably tailed ia two attempts since at a chauge of guvernment. These adhorents, Colone! Larraiagu and Major Ecbenique, remained quietly im Callao until dusk and then pro- » Seeded on board the iron-clad ram Huascar, where they were expected by certain disaffected parties, officers of the ship. Matters had been care- fully arranged beforehand to insure the succossiul cartying out of the plot. The commander and execu- tive officer of the ram wero on shore, ‘The officer of the deck was an accomplice, and the rines casily became converts to the the money profusely bestowed apo From ® neighboring frigate, the Afurimac, came a boat Conveying the second officer of that vessel and @ number of marines, who instantly united with the rebels on board, Then eiforts were ma to get up steam, but tho engineers, Englishmen mostly, refused to obey the orders of their new superiors, until the oilicers of the ship itself assumed all responsibilisy. Still it was found difficult to set tho engines in motion, and hoisting a little canvas, the heavy vessel forged ahead toward the offing, running down a launch, and nearly colliding with the floating dock near by. From the deck of the Powerful iron-clad frigate Independencia, moored within gunshot of the captured Huascar, the Suspicious proceedings of the ram were ob- served, still being daylight; but, strange to say, the officers of the Independencia did not think proper to send an armed boat to dis- cover what was the origin of the movement, but con- tented themselves with advising the Port Admiral on shore that the Hauscar was under way, Then forces were sent from shore to recapture the ship, but by this time she was under steam and a good three miles off, By av unlucky coincidence the commanders of the @ Independencia, the corvette Union, tno fa- mous monitors brought from the United Stat the Atahualpa and Manco Capac were all absent from their posts, aud their subordinates uppear to have lost all presence of mind in such critical circumstances. Of course the authori- tes in Lima were instantly communicated witb, To be ready for any emergency the garrison of the capital was placed under arms aod the batteries in Callao manned, The remaining vessels of the squadron were ordered to light their fires and prepare for pursuit, whilst a strong division of troops of all arms, composed of throo regiments of infantry, a section of artillery vad a battalion of cavalry was erganized, under the command of General Bustamante, the Minister of War, to proceed toward the South, which it was supposed Would be the scene of action. IN THE INTREST OF PIEKOLA, ‘The newspapers incanwhilo were supplied with the Manifesto of the revels, detailing their grievances and the motives which induced them to revolt, all of which are ot the usual character—dissatistaction with the government und a fancicd desire tor relorm—and pro- claiming Pierola as tho ‘leader of toe mvve- ment. This gentleman at last advices was quietly domiciled in Ch |) awaiting the courso of events in Pera, and by the my of present writing 18 doubt- jess among bis old aduerents io the ever rebellious province of Moquegua, frow whence access is not dif- ficultto the flery city of Arequipa, where, it is ul- leged, the spark of revolution would be iaunod tnto a general flame by the, mere reception of the news re- garding the capture of the Huascar. Meanwoile this it vessel was sighted near Pisco by a mer- chant steamer steadily proceoding on her souih- ward course, aud afterward on the 10th, a despatch was received trom the Captain of the port ot Isiay, apnouucing that she had passed, still steam. ing to the South, The Huascar is the fluest vessel on the west coast of the tacific. She was builtin Eng. land in 1866, by the Messrs. Samada, ia a turret vessel, beavily armed ana perfectly armored. Thanks to tho connivance of the conspirators on board, she had just lett the dock, where her bottoms had been thoroughly repuired; her magazine was well filied, aud she was couled and provisioned for a month’s cruise, As may well be imagined, the greatest consternation was feitim Lima, Altbough orders were given to pre- pare the other vessels for instant pursuit it was dis- covered that they were out of repair, and one, tho monitor Atahuailpa, was declared to be utterly uote for sea. Work was immediately commenced upon. her, and by yesterday (the 11th) she had receivea nearly a complote set of new tubing, with which it was Imagined she would be uble to Steam slowly down the coast under convoy. The | division under General Bustamante embarked this morning, On all sides the goverument 18 taxed with inability and gross negligence in awaiting five days before wending forces to the South, where their pres: ence 1% absolutely essential toward maintaining the pet peace, Moquegua and Arequipa are known to e ready jor revolt, Puno and Cuzco are far from being enthusiastic in their loyalty to the powers Vhat be, and = the Hunscur 18 considered is & most formidable oppowent to any succossiul attempt to land troops, provided the leaders on board of her choose to risk acombat, ‘tho montior Atabualipa, carrying two Ufleen-inch guns, could easily vanquish her were it not for the superior speed of the Huascar and the consequent difliculty of ap. proach. ‘he President on the Sth issued a decree, declaring the Huascar a pirate, offering a rewar to her captors, although not specifying the and declaring that the government for any xcts which ticnal flag. ‘were made to the government to supply tue Treasury with fuuds for the contest. After some deliberation it was agreed to furnish the exchequer with 500,000 soles in silver coin, fecciving ia payment druits ogainst the guano consignees in London for the subsi- dies of September and Octover. UNPOPULAKITY OF PRESIDENT PRADO. Lima remains perfectly quiet, awaiting with impa- tence the news from the South. "Should Areqaipa pro- claim for the Pierola cause we doubtless will have trouble hore and also in the disaflected Northern « tricts. The government ts certainly unpopular.

Vessels made fast and lying alongside the outer walls of the dock were lifted fully eight feet by (ho upheaval, but strange to say were not damaged. Most of tho steamors riding | atanchor in the tay shipped their cabies, fearing a further danger, nud some of the larger vessels stood out toward the offing.

A quantity of merchun- dise, temporarily stored on the docks from ships in discharge, was ruined by the water; a water launch, torn irom its moorings, struck agatnst the iron pillars of the dock bridge, and curried away several of them, WLEEING FOR SAPETY, On shore the greatest cousternpation was apparent, many families flying for safety to the bign grounds | buck of the towa, At ten o’ciock im the morning ull davger seemed to huve passed. e wea Wad Still somowhat ugitated, but resuming gradually its ordi- nary tranquillity.

Jonn Bollenger, bis wife and Caroline, theirdaughter aged fourteen years, mudo sworn statcments in the Newark Police Court yesterday which, if true, proves that a series of beastly crimes were perpetrated within the limits of that city early yesterduy morning, and on Tuesday afternoon. According to the allegations of the Boliengers who, fora year or so past, have been living in the old long disused slaughter house on the line of the Pennsyivania railroad, near Waverly and alongside Bound creek, there came to their place on Tuesduy afternoon about four o’clock a trio of evil-looking youths, who de- manded liquor, Mrs, Bollenger and ber daughter were alone, Mr. Bollenger having gone to Newark, The de- maod for liquor was refused, and then, as is alleged, the rufflans seized the woman and severally subjected her to outrageous indignities, As the slaughter house is not within half amile of any babitation or road exe cept the railrodd the cries of the wretched woman availed her nothing. Her little daughter was seized by one of tho flends, but before he could carry out his diabohcal design on her she managed to break away from bim and. to escape from the place As soon as Myr, Bollenger returned be and his wife proceeded to the Newark police station and | made a statement which, the police ray, was either misunderstood or very imperfect, At all events no attention was paid to their case beyond listening to them, Mr, Bolienger and his wife returned to thoir house alone, Fearing another visitation from the rul- oe they got acouple of male triends to stay with them. THE OUTRAGE REPEATED, Sure enough, about one o'clock yesterday morning, the three villains above described, wiih four oters, appeared at the Bollengers’ place, burst in the door—it is said with an axe—and made their way to the sleep. ing apartments of the tamily, All of them were armed, sem)-intoxicated und using the vilest of oaths, ‘They first seized the three men, us is alleged, locked them ina room and then proceeded to repeat tho erimes perpetrated the day previous, This time the daughter was unable to escape, and, us 18 alleged, was subjected to the same brutal treatment as was the mother, Mr, Bollenger and bis friends aay they wero powerless to intertero. About Bali pone two o'clock yesterday morning Bolienger and his little boy appeared again at the New: ark station, and this time managed to ‘make bimselt understood. Sergeant Meidrum detailed Sergeant Walker, Detective Fischer aud a squad of men to repuir to the scene of the horror and if possible arrest the alleged fiends, On reaching the place they tound the seven brutes had fled. Scouring around they tound two of them, having with them ina piece of wood the litle girl, Mr. Byilenger’s duughter. A third, who was with bis companions, escaped. They were ur- rested and brought to Newark, where they now aro in the jai. One is William Cavanagh, ot Chestnut and Pacitic streets, ana the other Owen Gillen, of No 104 Tichenor street, Newark, ‘Gillen’and Cavanagh were recoguiaed by Mrs. Bollenger as the assailants of herselt und daughter, Cavanagh admits ibe charge as to the littie girl but denies it as to the mother. Gillen puts in a genoral donial, A BAD Lor. A Heraup reporter proceeded to the scene of the alleged atrocities yesterday. The slaughter bow: located 1 a dismal swamp, lar {rom any dwelling, was closed up and not a soul there, ‘The Boilengers bad not returned from Newark, The axzent at the Waverly sation und a German farmer, nawed Henry Heep, found ploughing in a eld near the place, agree that the place kept by the Boilengers was a don ol the vilest churactor. Thoy corrovorate in the main the story of the outrages, but speak of the Bollongers being little, if anything, better in character than gang thoy complain of, 1t is asserted that they kept a drinking and carousing place of the most immoral kind, Meanwhile itis due to the reputation of th Newark police and to Jersey justice that ull the part De hunted down und the case fully investizated, EX-GOVERNOR WARMOTH’S WED- DING, BRILLIANT NUPTIAL CEREMONY IN NEWABK LAST EVENING, Trinity Church, an ancient Newark Episcopal edifice, around which clusters a host of Jersey historic memo. ries, was the scene last evening of a very notabie wed- ding, that of ex-Governor Henry Clay Warmoth, of Louisiana, and Miss Sallio Durand, the youngest daughter of AldermanJames M.

He did not recognize the distinctions be- tween church ad parishes. He wished to be tu full communion with the Universalist Church, Here the case for the defence was closed, Mr, Sweetser moved to reopen the case on the ninth charge.

He had never told one of his scholirs that he did not beheve in the resurrection «of Christ, Mr. Smith on cross-examination was very sarcastic in his replies to Mr. McCarthy. He objected to the form o1 the questions tual were put. “1 will give him atow more questions that he will want to change the form of,” said Mr, McCarthy, (Applause.) or r Mr. McCurthy—Pieuse to answer my questions.

THE HUMBLED SIOUX. Detailed Account of General Miles’ Operations on the Yellowstone. FACE TO FACE WITH SITTING BULL “The Man Who Levelied the Bad Lands,” ee Toxoue Riven, May 1, 1877 The surrender of 300 Cheyenne hostile Indians to General Miles would seem to indicate that this tribe 1s somewhat discouraged wi. their coutractto whip the United States government. These very rascals were the most persistent iu ther hostility to the govern- ment and most anxious to begin a war which they hoped would drive the white mon out of the Black Hilla and the whole of the couniry west of Powder | River, The first year of active warlare is not yet over und we flad thom surrendering, The Sioux were | less anxious for war, but are made of better stuif, and having once begun to Aight are disposed to keep at i, Desorted by their allies they will, however, soon be compelied to lay down their arms and accept such terms as they can g All this is very discouraging to hostiles generally, for presuming that they have ordinary common sense the stauil hostile tribes must | see that If the great Sioux tribes cunnot maintain a contest with the soldiers their chance of making head- way against Uncle Sam would be exceedingly slim. WHERE THs PAULEY ‘The truth is the government ratier than the Indians is respousible for this war, AS long ago as 1865, when it founded the Powder River posts of Reno, Phil | Keurny and C.F, Smith, the government took a step | it should not have receded from. Whea the war along | the Piutte followed the establishment of the new posts and terminated with the Phil Kearny massacre of Colonel Fetterman and command the government by abandoning its forts and withdrawing its troops from the country gave the Sioux a false idea of their power and importance. They honestly believed thoy had whipped the United States, and having done it once were ull the more ready to undertuke it a second time, ‘fhe government, however, if it blundered in 1805 was determined not to binader in 1876, and the Sioux having Ouco more committed themselves to war preparations Were made ona grand scale tor whipping them out, Tho first dush under Custor, owing to the 1ucompe- tency of some of his subordinate officers, miscarried, and the Sioux were greatly encouraged. General Miles and General Crook, however, hastened to correct the opimion of the hostiles that they were a second time getting the better of the soldiers, The fights on Rosebud, No Wood Creek and ‘Tongue River taught them to believe tho war was not over, and that this timo ut least the | government was in dead curnest and fully determined Upon their destruction or conquest. All last suinmer they were kept on the move, and although Generals Terry and Crook did not succeed in corralling and pupishing them, still they were constantly kept flying from post to pillar, and often just escaped by the merest chance in the world falling into the bands of the soldiers, They lost nearly all their lodges, many o1 them got sick, aud a great many young chiidrea died. Bofore the summer was half over tho old meno and women were sick of the war and cursing the chiets who had brought the soldiers down upon the camps, ‘Theso aged persons were often obliged to ride forty and fifty miles a day to avoid being overtaken, while in the good times of peaco thoy journeyed only ten and twenty | miles with their camp and never stirred out if tho weather was wot orcold, Now their old limbs achea with fatigue, and they were oftou ready to die from cold and disease, It was no uncommon thing for them to gothrough the camp of au evening calling down the wrath of the Great Spirit upon the heads of the authors of all their suffering, and so f-equont did this become that it Is said Sitting Bull told a lot of them on ono Occasion It they did not go to their lodges und stop their moanings and complaints he would have thom shot, | | | WRONG CALCULATIONS, To make matters worse, when the children began to die the mothers complained to their husbands and bogged thom to couse from war, The warriors said, “When the snow flies the soldiers will go to the | forts and then we will havo rest.” So all held on through the summer and fall mouths and waited us patiently as they could for the cold to come and drive the soldiers away, The snow flew, but the soldiers did not go, or if they did they speedily returned wrapped in wolf and buffalo skins, and Kept on marching over the country. Then must surrender or perish, The old men, the womon and children could pot run about as in summer, and, above all, the ponics could not be bo kept ulive if they bad wagon trains filled with grain, and each one carried u little rack ou Lis horse in Which Was as much oats as the animal could eat in three days. The Indi aus saw their wiry ponies could not compete with these hardy horsemen; neither could they travel day after duy with only a blanket or two to keep them warm in a climate where the thermometer oficn dropped down to torty below zero, Tho stubvora chicls would not yield, but, marcning their viliages as far up on the heads of the rivers as they could got them, hid their camps away amid decp snows. Day after day and week alter week the soldiers kept ou their weary way hunting for the hidden camps, and at last found them, First McKenzie came down upon the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe camp, and a wall of distress wont up from bundreds of women and cbildreu who, without lodges and only escaping with their lives, were obliged to fly in tho dead of winter 200 miles, The old men died, the children died, the grim war- riors, sick aud disheattened, looked on until they could stand it no longer and then eried out for peace. FIGHTING MILI, Geverul Miies struck their great camp on the head of Tongue River, and again a wail o! distress arose, Itoutenunt Baldwin fognd the aren enemy of ail whites, Sitting Bull, and told him he must fight or surrender, ‘The old man begged for time and Geueral Miles came with a larger torce. ‘This was on the head of Dry in Jaunary Inst The mnportanee | of this interview has never been unuerstood or properly reported, Sitting But! was at vay | in the dead of wiater ands had bis choice ether to | light or surrender, Those who imagine that Indian warlare is simply a process of blindly pitching into canyons and fighting hidden savages are mach mis- taken so far as Its conduct on the Yeliowstone ts con- @ wortal four seized on the Warriors and they saw they | had to travel through the deep snows.

They may have been and probably were attracted on: by © it, J determined to break up the council, Sitting Bull's apparent anwillingness to talk gave we the opportunity b desired, aud | woted at once,’ On tho following morning the council wus continued.
