win for the present act as Intendento of

Will Tor the present act as Intendente of
the Capital.
1t is learned that the city of Santiago is
IN a terrible state. In addition to the de-
structlon done by the mob, it is threat
ened with the eruption of all the desper-
ate characters in The surrounding coun-
try. General Baquedano has posted a
regiment IN the Gordon about the city to
prevent outlaws from entering the city,
but 1t is an almost hopeless task.
General Canto and staff have left Val
pariso for Santiago with additional
troops. a new Chief of Police of Santiago
and new Railroad Administrator have
been appointed.
1t is asserted on good authority that
BaImaceda went by special train TO Tai
canuanO yesterday. There he will make
connection with the Condell and Impe-
rial, and in one Of these vessels make for
Buenos Ayres or MonUeviueo. If this is
so he will probably escape.
Comparative order has been restored in
this city. Rioters caught in their work
were summarily dealt with, many being
shot, but rlotlng was not stopped until
property worth 81, ,o0O,000 had been de-
Stroyed.
Many tyrannical acts have been per-
petuated here since January by Govern
ment officials, and every warship in the
bay has its quota of refugees. This gave
rise to bitter feeling on the part OF the
COngreSsiOnaliStS, particularly against
Americans, for Admiral Brown has given
asylum TO many unpopular officials on
| board the San Francisco and Baltimore.
Admiral Brown OF the San Francisco
this afternoon had long conference with
Junta leaders, and the irritation against
the Americans has been subdued The
Junta is exceedingly anxious to secure
recognition from the United States, and
is ROW hopeful that 1t viii be accorded
| them.
Numerous Government officials have
been arrested, but such have been
assured Of Il fair trial before the proper
authorities when quiet is restored. Montt
and General CanJo say there viii be no
measures taken toward the formation Of
a new Government until all the members
! of the Junta arrive here from IGuiQue.
1t is hardly probable that an election will
! be held Tor some time, and in the mean
time the Junta viii be in control.
The ambulance service has been simply
diSgraCetul. Hundreds of wounded men
were left on the battle field to die, who
might have been saved if prompt meas
ures OF relief We're taken. The surgeons
OfsfOreign warships have done the most
valuable service in caring for the
wounded, and had il not been for their
hard, effective work, the sutterings of the
wounded soldiers would nave much
greater. Especial credit is due the medi-
cal statfs Of the United States ships San
Francisco and Baltimore.
1t has been ascertained, that 500, 900
pesos in silver was shipped on the Brit
Ish sloop OF war Espiegle, The Senior
British naval officer here is making
every effort to communicate with the
Captain OF the Espiegle with a view to
OBTAINING the bullion, if possible. 1t is
supposed that Balmaceda intended to use
the money to make payments on account
OF the new cruisers, PrGsidente Erraz-
uriZ and Presidente Pinto.
CRUISER PRESIDENTE PINTO.
BERLIN, Aug. 30.-The commander of
the Chilean cruiser Presidente Pinto has
asked the German authorities for permis-
sion to dock his vessel at Kiel.
REJOICING At BAL1IACEDA'S FALL.
LONDON, Aug. 30.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times says that the
British man-of-war Espiegle consented
to carry Balmaceda's silver only after an
American man-ot-war had declined the
tempting offer to perform the same serv-
ice. The press of both Berlin and Paris
rejoice at the fall of Balmaceda.
