SERIOUS WAR RIOTS IN CHILL.
LONDON, Aug. 27.-Advices received from
Santiago, Chill, July 30th, state that serious
riots have occurred in that city. The
people of peace have been for some time
greatly discontented with the conduct of
large number of them assembled in the Plaza
and made hostile and threatening demons
trations against the authorities.

Rssemblage, and fired upon the people, kill
ing several of them. At the time of the
sailing of the steamer which brings this in
telligence quiet had been restored, but the
popular discomfort was still great. A rep

Germany.
SMALL sPECK OF WAR.
LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Foreign Office at
Berlin has addressed letter to the I'M
perial Chancellerie making formal COM
plant of the undisguised hostility toward
Germany, which has been for some time
manifested in the Russian press. This let
ter, which is understood to have been die
tated by Prince Bismarck, is couched in
extremely plain and emphatic language.
A reply to this letter has been received at
Berlin from the Russian Chancellerie, ard
the purport of its contents has been com.
municated to the Semi-cificial Express of
This Capital. The Russian letter, which is
written in the usual adroit style of Mus
covite diplomacy, states that His Majesty,
the Gar, finds it impossible, even if it were
desirable, to check the expression of
opinion on the part OF independent
organs of public sentiment"
In Berlin this reply is considered as dis.
Ingenious in the extreme. The estrange-
ment between Russia and Germany daily
increases and it is believed that unless
Prince Bismarck is playing one of his unex.
pected games, of which the result is exactly
contrary OF that expected by spectators, a
war between the Two Emperors is not i'm
probable Meanwhile the relations be-
tween Austria and Germany daily become
more cordial, and if things continue as they
are, in the event of war between Russia and
Germany Austria would be found on the
side Of the latter.
