LONDON, Juno -lSpeciall- dis
patch published here to-day from the
Gillian government, presided over by
Balmaceda, and dated from Santiago,
De Chilli says that the rebels have lost
all moral force and that all action upon
their part in the south has ceased. On
tho other hand the dispatch states that
President Balmaceda is taking active
steps to increase the strength of his
army and that local war ships attack
ing the rebel ports, while the rebel
squadron avoids fighting. iN
The president, it appears from this
cable message, walks freely in the
streets of Santiago, which city is said TO
be entirely on his side. In conclusion
are prolonging war solely to enrich
themselves with nitrate deposits of
Iarapaca. 1t is also asserted that the
constitu tional congress sits with regu-
larity, passes measures in the interests
of the people and furnishes the govern
mont with ample resources.
Nineteen provinces. II is further
stated, arc under the control OF Prcsi-
dent Balmaceda, these provinces being
inhabited by three million people,
while the rebel provinces, according to
to the telegram from Santiago, are only
inhabited by 10000 people, one-half OF
whom are said to be foreigners.
IQuIpUE, June 23.-l Special Tho
cruiser Almirantc Linch, of the govern
ment fleet, recently collected duty on IL
cargo of nitrate of tocpilla which had
been carried there by British vessel.
Tho British minister was notified OF, the
matter and yesterday made vigorous
protest to Balmaceda against the pay
ment of duties. The matter will prob
ably lie settled by the return of the
money collected. as was recently done
i'll the case of German vessel.
The British government is showing in
every possible way, without actual re-
sort to arms, that it is in sympathy with
the insurgents. This is having de-
cided influence on the struggle now
raging. A battle is likely to occur at
Conqimbo at any moment. The insur-
gents have surrounded the town and
will probably begin attack to-day. Tho
issue is awaited at Iquique with the
keenest interest.

TO MAKE RAIN TO ORDER.
The agricultural Department Testing the
Theory of Explosion

WASHINGTON, June 23.-lSpecial =
The last agricultural appropriation act
contained an appropriation of $1,000 to
be used in experiment in the production

evening was caused by the explosion
remains to be determined, and the De-
partment will try experiment on a large
scale tomorrow to test the efficiency of
this means of decreasing the drought.
