THE WAR IS OVER,
At Least the Representatives Of
Chile Say so,
And THE LONG SUFFERING PUBLIC
Which Has Been Reading for Months
About tho Success of One Side and
the Contradictions of the other SIny
Have Rest and will be Treated to
Something it Understands Better
and is More Anxious About.

WASHINGTON, D. @. August 27.-"The
war is over" said Senior Lazcano, the
Chilean minister to a reporter, comment
ing on the cable dispatch received from
the Chilean minister of foreign affairs.
Glad we had Ships" said senor Laz-
cano, tracing the positions OF Govern
ment and insurgent forces on rough
map lie had drawn SO as to explain 1--WE
would have succeeded long ago.
He then traced the positions OF the
army of the Chilean Government under
command of Gen. Yealerquez, the pres
ent minister OF wal, ,andwho distinguish
ed himself in war between Chill and
Peru ten years ago.
At Coquimo, on the northern coastof
Chill 10000 government troops were
stationed. AT Santiago $4,000 troops
were in garrison, while below at Con-
-ception 10000 men were under arms.
To the left of Conception an army OF
5000 men were rendezvoused. Between
Santiago and Quinteros, just above the
AconcIgua rlver the insurgents under
Col. Canto, landed 10000 men. Under
protection from their ships, the insur-
gents moved down the coast towards
Valparaiso at the Aconca2ua river.
The insurgents were met by force OF
5000 men from the government army,
which had moved up from tho left OF
Conception. This force held the insur-
gents at bay for thirty hours. In the
mean time the government forces at
Santiago, Conception and Coquimbo
moved down, hemmed in the insurgents
and compelled their unconditional sur
render.
The dispatch sent here by tho Chill
can minister announcing the defeat OF
the insurgents at Vina Del Mar was
shown to Mr., Foster, one OF the iDsur-
gent representatives, this morning, and
that gentleman was asked ii he had
heard anything from his party. He
replied that he had received the follow
ing cablegram from there late last
night: !,
by the dictator's agents in Lima with
out foundation. ERRAzURlz."
This, Mr.. Foster said, probably re-
ferred to reported defeat Of his party.
Nothing has been received either 0t the
State or Navy Departments of the re-
ported surrender OF the Chilian Con-
gressional army at Vina Del Mar, but
Notwithstanding the non-receipt of any
nows, except through the Chilian Min.
lister with respect to the matter, 1t is
generally believed in official and unfit
cial circles that the report OF surrender
Is true.

HIS LITTLE JAUNT.

President Harrison Enjoying His Little
Jamborec and Making Some Speeches.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, W., Aug. 27.
When President Harrison looked out
from his chamber this morning in the
house of Mr.. Franklin Fairbanks, at
st. Johnsbury, the clouds were hanging
low and rain was falling heavily. At
$3.50 when the Presidents train started
from the Boston 4 Maine station at st.
JoLnsbury for Rutland about 500 peo-
pie cheered tho President on his do
parture Among those on the car with
the President were Secretary Proctor,
Fletcher D. Proctor, Quartermaster
General w. N. Gilmore and Colonels
Horten and Folsom, of Governors
staff.
At Bradford the President spoke
briefly, being introduced by ox-Gover-
nor Farnham. The train arrived at
White River Junction at lO:4O o'clock.
At White River Junction the Presi-
dent was switched off to side-track
and run a mile and half to Billings
Park, where the Vermont Association
OF Road and Trotting Horse Breeders
are holding their annual exhibition.
General Morrill,, Col. George w. Hooker
and Captain A. w. Andrews accom-
panied the party to Billin's Park, where
carriages were waiting in which to con-
vey the visitors over the grounds. A
heavy rain had fallen all morning and
the trotting match which was expected
to have taken place was necessarily
postponed owing to the condition of
the track.
Notwithstanding the rain, however,
the crowd was large, and when tho
President made his appearance on tho
stand he was heartily cheered. Colonel
Hooker as president of tho association
introduced President Harrison, who
spoke briefly.
When the President closed his speech
Secretary Proctor made few remarks.
Then some of the finer horses we're led
out for inspection, after which the Pres
ident returned to the Junction.

Steamer and Quits tho Race.
LONDON, Aug. 27.-The British steam
or Elbruz from Baltimore, Aug II, ar
rived ut Antwerp to-day. On board OF
her was Captain Andrews, Of the dory
Mermaid, which sailed from Boston
some time ago on transatlantic race,
with the dory Sea Serpent, which was
sailed by Captain Lawler.
The Sea Serpent arrived at Coverack,
near Lizard Point, in the English
Channel, August 5, and some days alter
ward an incoming vessel reported that
she had spoken the Mermaid long dis
tance from the English coast. The fact
that Captain Andrews is on board the
Elbruz is taken to indicate that he has
given up the race or else that some acci-
dent has happened to his boat that
made it necessary for him to leave her.
A later dispatch from Antwerp says
that Captain Andrews became e&-
hausted in mid-ocean, and in conse-
quence when the opportunity offered
abandoned the race,

An Admission that Ought to Make

shame.--He Details to Colonel Drew
the Methods Employed to Deceive
Him when He Examined the Bank.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 2T.-Ex'
Assistant Cashier Charles Lawrence, oi
the Keystone Bank, has written state
mont OF the methods which were used
to deceive ex-Bank Examiner Drow.
Lawrence is now in the Eastern Peni-
tentiary serving ont his term of seven
years for completely in wrecking the
bank. The letter is as follows:
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8, '91.
"cOl w p. Drcw.
"DEAR Sm:-I beg to submit to you
the following circumstances as to the
manner in which you, MS National Bank
Examiner, were deceived in your OK.
animation OF the Keystone National
Bank. In the first place permit
me to say that in general every
means possible was used to both
swell the assets OF the bank
and diminish the liabilities. There was
no regular method adopted, but at one
time some means were resorted TO, at
other times some other plan suggested
itself. l can, therefore, only tell you in
general way OF the various things
done to deceive you, without specifying
any particular time at which the par
ticular Justification was made.
First, MS to the individual ledgers.
These came within the scope Of my own
knowledge andiare facts with which lam
personally acquainted. AS to the other
departments my knowledge comes from
what have seen and heard, and there
fore, am about to draw pretty
strong inferences. The individual ledg-
ers were altered at least twice every
year, about the time you were looked
for. This was done by me since 1880,
and the methods pursued various.
This was done to the extent OF probably
$500, 1000, more or less. cannot tell any
nearer than that.
"Now know that on the letter 8 side
there were memoranda carried as cash
which represented the amount Mr..
Lucas owed the cash drawer. This was
replaced at the time OF your examina-
ton by real cash which was temporarily
borrowed some times by means Of due
bill taken from the back Of the due bill
book, some times by means OF q certiil-
cate Of deposit or by the President OBJ
taining loan.
''The bills discounted were swelled by
the introduction OF fictitious notes.
These we're intended both to swell the
assets and to take the place Of other
bills discounted, which it was thought
best not to let you see as it might excite
your suspicion and put you on more
innuisitiva examination Thig I bn-
lieve, gives you general idea of the
various methods pursued. l trust that
you will find this sufficient to show you
how difficult it was for you or any one
else to discover the true condition OF the
bank. 1 am respectfully yours,
