London, May 1.

The President of Peru, Lieut.-Colonel Luis M. San- chez Cerro, was assassinated yesterday in the full view of hundreds of people, accord- ing to a message from Lima.

President Cerro was leaving the Santa Beatriz racecourse after the diy sport when a man stepped out from the crowd with a revolver. and poured a rain of bullets at the President who fell mortally wounded.

Further details are lacking for! the moment, but it is presumed that his assailant was a member of the opposition revolutionary group.

President Cerro, who was 44 years of age, came into prominence in 1930 when, with a military junta, ho forced out President Legula by revolutionary methods. He was elected constitutional President in October 1931 for a term of five years and assumed ollice in December of that year.
