UNCLE SANS COURSE BEGARDISG CHILE.
WAsHfN0IoN, September 3.-Admiral
Browns cablegram to the Navy Depart
ment received this morning. announcing
the complete success of the junta, was
communicated Immediately to the Acting
Secretary of State, Mr.. Wharton. While
Admiral Brown Is not diplomatic repre-
sentative Of the Government, his state
ment of facts is taken as an addition to the
official information before the Depart
ment of State to the effect that
Balmacedas Government is a thing of
the past and that new regime has been es-
tablshed. The requirements of diplo-
matte practice having been so far met 1t IS
probable that the Department of State Will
not proceed 10 take official cognizance OF
the state of affairs as modified by Balma-
ceda's resignation and the victory of the
Congressional party. At the department
it is said that there has been no undue de-
lay in according recognition when proper
to bestow it,
GENERAL. POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
The settled policy Of this Government
has been to avoid the encouragement or
premature recognition of revolutionary
movements. particularly in the case OF IN
settled republics of the American hemi-
sphere, and in the exceptional cases IN
which departures have been made from
that practice the result has not always
been satisfactory. SO IN the case or the
Chilean Congressional movement the De-
Ol Olhlt udS tOnhhCh iAotil, wv
officials say. to strict observance OF the
practice of this Government as established
by many precedents, and have awaited the
receipt Of the official Information necessary
to enable it to know beyond doubt that
the Congressionslists have succeeded IN
securing absolute dominion over Chile.
The requisite information Is now probably
before the department aud the next step IS
recognition.
EGAN TAKING HIS TIME.
Several cabeerams have been sent to
Minister Egan, and there IS reason to be-
lieve that when he is satisfied gov
ernment (even though it be temporary in
form) has been securely established IN
Chile he will Immediately open official in
tercourse with that Government. This
step, 1t is SAID at the department, Is equi-
vsent to accrediting a minister to the new
government. and as soon as such new gov-
ernment officially notifies the Department
of State that il has authorized its special
onyoys to represent 1t regularly IN the
United States Mr.. Montt and his col
leagues Will be recognized at the Depart
| ment of State.
