Mestor Guillen, dean of the su perior court. assumed office as act ing president, hut vowed to give lip the office when Tomas Monje, court president, was well enough to take iiis ph.ee. He called the regime "a provisional government to call elec tions and then tuin over power to a government chosen by the people." Tile revolutionary leaders prom ised that suppressed civil liberties would lie restored immediately. The rebels reported that partially burned bodies of political prison ers of the Villarocll regime had been found in ammunition boxes at po lice headquarters. This, they said. vas evidence or the seventy of pre vious measures to suppress the revolution. Wounded In Chest. Survivors of the final assault on the president's palace said he was found wounded in the chest. They said he first pretended he was a Ia.'ftist" leader whom he resembled slightly. They quoted him as tell ins the rebels: "I am Alfredo Mcndiznpnl (leader of the revolutionary leftist party.) Don't kill me." The president was seized and thrown front the balcony to a mob in the street below.

Many leaders of Villaroel's mili tary regime perished willi their leader, but most of the casualties in street fighting wore rcvolutiouistss. Situation Confused. The situation was still confused today as leaders of the revolt at tempted to restore order after one of the most chaotic days in the history of tins country, where revolutions are taken almost as a matter of course. The new government is composed of university professors and stud ents. labor union groups, and sev eral prominent figures. The first official net of the revolu tionary regime, which calls itself "the institutional government," was to issue a communique calling for national unity and restoration of "popular liberties." which were sus pended under Villaroel's strong man rule.
