Awful Sufferings of the Wounded.
The hospitals in the city are filed
and all the available medical force il
the city is kept as busy as it can be.
Many of the men who were wounded
at the battle of Concon were left fol
eight days without attention. Had moi
the foreign surgeons organized an ambu
lance corps, the sutferings of the
wounded soldiers would have been in
finitely greater, and many more of them
would have died.
BALMAcEDA's WHEREABOUTS.
On Board the CondeII and Bound for San
Francisco.
ST. LOUIS, Sept A dispatch from
the City of Mexico says:
The Anglo-American says prominent
gentleman of this city, who is well
known in the Anglo-American colony,
has received the following dispatch in
cipher:
VALPARAISO, Sept. l.
President Balmaceda is aboard the Con
| dell and expects to disembark In San
Francisco. However, If he be pushed by
the insurgent warships he may land in
Mexico If he does, extend all possible
oourtesies
Here is the first definite news regard
ing the whereabouts of Balmaceda. Tne
torpedo boat ImpeEiale and the Condell
have sailed north and are to be pursued
by the cruisers of the congressional
army. Whatever port the fleeing presi-
dent may make he will be protected
No warship will attempt his capture
within marine league of Mexico or the
United States Until new government
is formed Balmaceda is the recognized
head Of Chill. If Balmaceda lands In
Mexico be will receive the hospitality
that the constitution grants to all polit-
ical refugees. The timely arrival OF the
members of the Chilian legation here, if
the president lands, insures more hospi-
tality.
The race of the Condell and Imperiale
against the first cruisers In the hands of
the congressionalists will be the theme
that will unquestionably attract public
attention for the next two weeks.
Discussed in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The Chilian
situation Is still the uppermost subject of
discussion in official circles. Since the
Egan cablegram received Wednesday no
news from Chill has reached the state
department. This silence on the part Of
Minister Egan and Consul McCreery is
interpreted to mean that there is moth
ing new in the Chilian situation to COM
municate Had there been any fresh
outbreak, Consul McCreery is In posi-
ton to communicate with Washington,
even II Minister Egan, at Santiago,
could not AS soon as the insurgents
form government, and notify the for
eign powers of the fact, they will doubt
less be recognized as the ruling power in
Chilli.
So far as the state department is in
formed they are still insurgents, with
the junta as the governing committee,
the army at their back and victorious in
accomplishing the overthrow of the Bal
macedan government without having
substituted any constitutional govern
ment. What government exists is in the
person of General Baquedano, to whom
Balmaceda delivered the office of presi-
dent when he fed in haste from the
country. Baquedano is represented as
an army officer who led the Chilian
army to successful result in the war
with Peru ten years and who since that
time has been in retirement. He is very
wealthy and quite popular, while by
some he is distrusted.
This view of the situation is strength
ened by the fact that Chilian ENJOYS,
during the past few days, have received
no additional news from home. Min
lister Lazcano, too, is entirely in the
dark as to what is transpiring at home,
and if he depended, as diplomats are
supposed to do, for official information
from the home government, he is still in
ignorance of the downfall of Balma-
ceda.
Admiral Brown Heard From.
The navy department, however, shed
ray of light on the situation, and some
what relieved the darkness that envel-
oped the state department Thursday
by giving out dispatch from Rear
Admiral Brown, commanding the
United States naval forces in the south
Pacific.
The cablegram, which was in cipher,
after being translated, read as follows:
VALPARAISO, Sept. 3.
Everything is quiet. Business fully re-
sumed The congressional committee, in
cluding two cabinet members, arrived
from Iquique, Chilli, yesterday, and go to
Santiago BROWN.
An English Court Recognizes the Junta.
LONDON, Sept. Am injunction ap-
piled for on behalf of an agent of the
junta, or provisional government of
Chill, was granted in court Wednesday,
restraining the City bank from paying
or negotiating, until the case is decided
by trial or until further order issues, a
bill of exchange for $4,000 drawn ON
the National Bank of Chill made paya-
BILE to Senior Joaquin Goday, President
Balmaceda's chief agent in Europe, and
accepted by the City bank, but which
mad not been discounted.

stated that Patrick Egan
