matte representative OF the government,
hia statement of facts ia taken
as An addition to the official
information before the department of
state to the effect that Balmaceda's gov
ernment is thing of the past, and that
2 new regime has been established. The
requirements of diplomatic practice hav-
ing been so far met, it is probable that
the state department will now proceed
TO take official cognizance of the state of
affairs IN Chile, as modified by Balma-
ceda's resignation, and the victory of
the Congressional party. Cablegrams
have been sent to Minister Egan, ard
there is reason to believe that when he
is satisfied that the government
teven though it be temporary in form)
has been securely established in Chile,
he will Immediately open official inter-
course with the government. This step,
It is said at the department, is equiva-
lent to accrediting minister to the
new government. As soon as such new
government officially notifies the depart
ment OF state that it has authorized it's
special envoys to represent it regularly
IN the United States, Senior Montt and
his colleagues will be recognized at the
department of state.
EGAN's RUMCRED RECALL.
CHIcAGo, Sept. 3.-A Washington
special says: 1t is given out that United
States Minister Egan has been wired to
report in Washington for a statement.of
affairs in Chile. That Egan has been
ordered to Washington is regarded in
two lights; one that the government is
dissatisfied with his silence during the
last three or four weeks, and the other
that he has been given leave of absence,
anticipatory of arbitrary action on the
part of the new administration in Chile,
which threatens to give Minister Egan
passport, on account of his sympathy
for the Balmaceda party.
ts EGAN EASILY INUNDATED.
LONDON, Sept. 3.-A letter from an
officer on an English warship at Val
pafaiso asserts that Balmaceda insulted
andquarreled with the American min
iskeE Patrick Egan, and the French
minister; that the latter refused to &C.
cept an apology, but Minister Egan re-
fewed his relations with the govern
ment, under threats from Senior Godoy
that If Mr.. Egan gave Balmaceda trouble
they would send him aboard an English
warship.

poets to disembark in San francisco.

This is the first definite news regard
ing the whereabouts of Balmaceda. The
torpedo boat Imperiale and the Condell
sailed north, and are to be pursued by
ckuisersof the Congressional army.
4 Whatever port the fleeing president
will make, he will be protected. No
warship will attempt his capture within
a marine league of Mexico or the United

he will receive the hospitality that the
