VALPARAISO, via galveston, Sept. II.
The police authorities are still prose-
cutting vigorous search throughout
Santiago for the fugitive ex-Presdent
Balmaceda. 1t is now the general be-
lief that he is in hiding in S ONE of the
mOnasterieS. Several of them have
been visited by the police, but SO far no
trace of Balmaceda has been discov-
cred. In spite of this fact rumors gain
ground that he has found protection
under clerical wings. There is no
truth in the report about an Indian up
rising. The story evidently had its
origin in the pillaging of Coronel
by miners. The German minister
denies the truth of my cable
i'll which told how he had ordered the
admiral of the German war ship Leipzig
to surrender political refugees, but the
admiral had declined to do so, cabling
the German emperor for approval of his
action, and how the emperor had cabled
sustaining the admiral. | reafiirm the
truth of my statements, and challenge
proofs to the contrary. The German
minister, by the way, might try to ex-
plain another extraordinary proceeding
on his part while he is about it. His
recent conduct III permitting the re-
moval of Balmaceda's minister of war,
ValasqueZ, from the German legation to
prison is
Generally Condemned
and has provoked much criticism from
the warmest partisans of the junta.
President Montt himself, on hearing the
particulars of this strange proceeding,
orde red that Senior Valesques should be
returned to the legation aud declared
that his removal and Imprisonment
were violation of the Sanctity of the
legation. Senior Months magnanimous
conduct is in marked contrast to the
action of the German minister. The
British war ship Melpomene has been
ordered to China, and the Champion to
Esqumault, British America. The
Champion will call at Coquimbo to take
/. on board Col. Carhalho and Senior
Sanchez. two of Balmaceda's officers,
and will land them at Callao. The Span
sShmipsstert to this, cOuntry has rendered
thanks for himself, his country and
Spanish resident of the country to Adj
miral Brown for offers of protection to
the minister and his countrymen during
the troubles. Other ministers are much
chagrined at Minister Egan in scoring
a point in recognizing the junta's au-
thorty ahead of any other nation. The
ambulance service has rendered testi-
monial to Passed Assistant Surgeon
John Nj. Edgar. of the United States
steamer San Francisco; Assistant Sur
geOn Edward S. Stitt, OF the Baltimore,
and the two junior surgeons of the same
vessels for the valuable aid on behalf of
the injured in the recent conflicts. The
railroad connection between this city
and Santiago has been
Temporarily Suspended.
While freight train last night was
crossing one of the bridges the struct-
ure collapsed. The locomotive, tender
and most of the freight cars were thrown
into the Tavine below. The accident
happened so suddenly that the engineer
and fireman were unable to escape, and
they went down with the wreck. A re-
lief party>was organized in the hope of
saving their lives. When it reached the
wreck the men we're found pinned down
under mass of debris. After consid-
cradle trouble they were taken out
alive, but seriously injured. Two severe
earthquake shocks occurred here this
morning. The first was experienced at
7:40, and created much alarm. 1t was
OF a few seconds duration. Before
the people had recovered from their
fright second shock took place at
7:45. 1t was feared that they were only
the forerunners of more serious shocks,
but happily none others occurred.
There was no damage done to property
and no one was injured. am Informed
on reliable authority that all the men
known to have been active supporters
of Balmaceda, as well as those who
were guilty of peculatiOn. will lose
their property by cOnfScatiOn. The SUI
preme court has already organized, and
all of these cases will be submitted.
The family of Senior August Edwards,
who has accepted the offer of the Office
OF minister of war in the cabinet of the
provisional government, arrived here
to-day, and was accorded a great recep-
ton.
