WASHINGTON. Aug. 3l.-Offlcal corrobora-
ton of Balmaceda's fall reached the State and
Navy Departments this morning. Acting Sec
rotary Wharton received the following cable
gram dated Valparaiso. Aug. 80. $3.50 T. NJ:
Dalmaceda has turned over tho Govern
ment to Ba1uedano and fed. Canto goes to
Santiago tonight to assume control until tho
arrival OF the ,Juntn from IquiQue. Good order
here.
Acting Secretary Solely also received the fol-
lowing cablegrnm from Admiral Brown, dated

terrreted at tho departments to mean that the
police force in Valparaiso is 80 well organized

necessity for keeping marines on shore duty.
No news from Chill had been received by
Minister I.azcano this morning. The Minis

not expect any detailed news OF movements OF
tho troops or the happenings OF more tmpor-
tant events they do expect brief advices when
matters OF unusual Importance occur. Senior
