New YORK, August 31.-The Herald
this morning has the following cable
advices from Chile: General Basqueda-
no has been recognized as president ad
interim of the republic by the members
of the junta here. The government
troops at Conception, Talachusna and
other places have notified the Congress
sionalist authorities that they have fin
ished fighting and are ready to obey
orders from the junta, and only Co.
quimbo promises to make trouble. All
that remains now to be done is to put
down the sporadic cases of disorder,
bring to trial such of Balmaceda's Off
cials as have been guilty of outrageous
acts of tyranny, and prepare for the
elections which will again give the re-
public unquestioned constitutional gov
ernment.
BAIMACEDA's MISTAKE.
have just had an interview with ex-
Minister Godoy, Balmaceda's 8 closest ad-
wiser, and also with Balmaceda's broth
er. They say throughout the entire
period since the outbreak of the revolu-
ton, Balmaceda has depended upon the
representations of the army officials that
the force was loyal and devoted to his
cause. Believing this Balmaceda con-
cluded to continue his resistance. Had
he thought otherwise, he would have
resigned rather than have been the
cause of unnecessary bloodshed.
THE DIcTAToR's ESCAPE.
Senor Godoy thinks Balmaceda has
escaped to Buenos Ayres. He left San
tiago, according to news received by
Senor Godoy, on Saturday morning, with
six carriages, containing his family and
valuable
MINISTER EGAN's CASE.
Relative to Minister Egan, Senior
Godoy emphatically declares that every
interview had by him with Balmaceda
was entirely confined to the question of
commercial reciprocity between the
United States and Chile.
OFFICIALS TO BE sHof.
Several prominent government off
cials will be shot tomorrow, after trial
by martial law.
THE sEQUEsrERED TREASURE.
Referring to the silver shipment,
Seflor Godoy says Balmaceda bought the
italian steamer Aquila at Montevideo.
The owner required cash. The United
States navy department refused to allow
the Baltimore to carry the money for
him. The British minister, Mennedy,
obtai led permission for the Espiegle to
convey the same to the English bank at
Montevideo. The steamer was bought
for Gl40, 900, of which 100000 was to be
used to furnish fixtures and guns. The
Aquila was to be fitted up for cruiser.
The bullion has gone to England.
CooU1MBo REFUSES TO SURRENDER.
Balmaceda's officials at Coquimbo
have cut the English cable there and re-
fused to surrender, and will make
fight. The Esmeralda, with the Linch,
goes to Coquimbo tonight. Transports
with troops will follow.
A'BALMACEDIsT A SHOT.
Procurer Fiscalfas, who prosecuted the
cases against the men who we're alleged
to be in plot to blow up the torpedo
boats Almirante Lynch and Almirante
Condel, and the transport Imperial,
which resulted in the execution of Cum
mings and two others, was taken out
and shot today.
REFUGEES ON FOREIGN SHIPS.
The presence of political refugees on
board American and German warships
has been the cause of several conferences
and much i'll feeling. A formal demand
for the surrender of the refugees was
made yesterday on the United States
and German admirals. After confer
ence the two naval officers informed the
: intendente that they would decline to
surrender the men unless proper guar
antees were given that their lives would
be safe until they had fair trial.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT CRITICISED.
Acting Secretary of State Wharton's
action in still refusing to recognize the
iunta, now that it is practically the only
government in Chile, is the subject of
much adverse criticism here, and it is
openly limited that there must be more
reasons for it than appear on the surface.
OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION.
