THE glory of the division of Camus

which converted these towards into
heroes converted into prisoners of the

ESmeralda and the Itata. The whole
thing was lie. At the present mo-
ment, When we can say to our friends
that the revolution has arms and am
munition, it is proper TO cast general
glance over the situation. Put face to
face the revolution and the dictator
ship. there is presented strong con-
their men and their military and civil
conduct.
Frankly and nobly in loyal combat
the revolution has gathered the laurels
OF PiSagua, HuaraS, PaZo AlmOnte and
lqulQue, and by advance the soldiers of
the constitutional cause have entered
africa, AntOfagasta. Caldera, to come in
the midst of the applause of the re-
deemed communities to Tacha, Copi
apo, Vallmas and others. The only
warlike act (Which, however, is not
within the range of international teach
ing) of which the dictatorship prides
itself, is the one Infamous and traitor
GUS act, the destruction of the BlancO
and the shooting of the wrecked SOL
diers and sailors in the small hours of
the night, when the vessel was an
chOred, and without any provocation,
and by surprise which every just con-
science would condemn.
"While the revOlutioniStS have ac-
cOmpished these prodigies i'll the eyes
of all the world, with the stricteSt pru-
dence and economy, the dictator has
squandered $40, 100000 deposited in the
national vaults by previous admins
tratiOns. He has emitted S12,000,00 in
paper money, and recently has been
authorized by his cOparceners in the
solid congress 10 emit S6.000,0O0 more.
And beside all this. he has used twenty
millions unfairly appropriated from the
issues of the banks. The vast amount
OF money has not been used to purchase
war materials with which to resist the
revolution, but has been spent in pay
ing spies and in bribing adherents.
Naturally and logically the credit of
Chilli will suffer in foreign markets from
the effects of such proceedings. The
AZ per cent bonds. which not long ago
were qnoted at 1O7 and Which were
sought after with ayidity, have dropped

will end. for there is clearly a scientific
parallel between a corrupt administra-
ton and fatal decline of exchange.
Three important things were need
ful that tue opposition may speedily
reach the desired end: First, to put the
land forces in motion; second, to per-
feet the organization of the forces, and
third. to attack tyranny in its own
locality. The first has already been
accomplished. For the second, three
conditions are requisite: First. the
arrival of arms and ammunition; sec
Ond, the absolute prohibition of the sail
ing of the two war vessels from France,
and third, the recognition of the con-
greSsiOnal party in the north as bellig-
erentS. Well, these three conditions
have been fulfilled and the hopes which
they symbolized have now been real

second, Bolivia has recognized US as
belligerents, and third, the government
OF France has forbidden the. vessels to
sail. 1t only remains now to attack the
tyrant in his own den, and the hour
draws near"
The dictator. contemplating the fate
that threatens him, esSayed a new in
trigue to delay the evil day, and pro-
posed an armiStice to the congressional
party through an American admiral.
The leaders of the revolution rejected
it with contempt. What more did he
deserve? 1t is not for US to fix the hour
of his fate. The only thing for us is to
fulfill our duty. We ask our friends to
have entire confidence in the outcome,
and as our brave heroes in the North
have gone OH step after step, gaming
more and more territory. until they
have caused the throne of the tyrant to
tremble with their baYonets. we should
cOnfide IN them absolutely during the
few days that remain until our triumph
