New YORK, Sept. 6.-The Herald has this
cable from Santiago. Chile: The provis-
ional government of the republic of Chile
Will be formally recognized by the govern
ment of the United States tomorrow
Egan today received j dispatch from the
state department instructing him to treat
the junta, as the government de facto of
the country. Information To this effect
was officially conveyed to Montt. president
of the lunta soon after the receipt of the
cable dispatch, but official action will not
be taken before tomorrow. Minister Egan
will be cordially received by the iunta for
the news he brings if for nothing else.
Members of the provisional government
were much pleased at the receipt OF this
information, though they were not greatly
surprised. They felt that as soon as the
United States understood the situation,
that order had been restored throughout
the country and the authority of the
Junta universally recognized, Mr.. Egan
would receive the instructions which came
today. IL is the opinion here that Senor
Pedro Monnt, who is now in Washington
City as tine representative OF the junta,
will be the regularly accredited minister
from Chile to the United States.
New YORK, Sept. 6.-Stories of riot at
Coquimbo are without foundation. Word
was received from there today that the
Congressionalist officials had taken pos
session of that city and Serena without
any disturbance and that order had been
maintained throughout. The Balmacedist
officials at Coquimbo had been granted
protection on board the English war ves-
sels. The government troops at those
,,I0poS a6 haAn diShandad and allowed n
go home. The armed transport Aconcagua
had been ordered south to meet the ship
bringing arms and held guns ordered by
the jUnta in Europe.
The junta is engaged in re-organizing the
public service. All the judges and court
officials who were dismissed by Balmaceda
have been re-appointed. Other changes
will be rapidly made until the entire civil
service is IN sympathy with the new gov
eminent.
When papers in the desk of Balmaceda's
minister of foreign affairs, Senior Godoy,
were examined today, cable dispatch was
found informing him that the German
government had decided to recognize the
bel!igrent rights of the congressionalists.
This news Minister Godoy had taken care
to suppress.
the state department at Washington City
approving mis- action in endeavoring to
bring about a cessation OF hostllitles in
Chile.
1t is reported on high authority that the
story that arms were shipped to lquique
on the steamer Montesarrat is untrue. 1t
is also asserted that there was not a single
Lee rifle in the hands of the congression-
alist soldiers The rides which it was al
legged had been transferred from the Itata
to the Esmeralda were of this make. and
the fact that none of them were held by
Canto's army dIsproves that story also.
A conference was held between the junta
and the leading merchants and bankers
relative to the recognition by the new gov
erument of the note issues ordered by Bal
maceda during the past six months. inst
what points were considered and conclu-
sions reached are not yet known. 1t is
generally believed, however, that action
satisfactory to all concerned will be de-
cided upon.
BERLIN, Sept. 6.-The North German Ga
zette says at the request of the Italian gov
ernment Germany has undertaken to pro-
tect Italian residents in Chile.
