FIGHTING IN CHILL.
The Government Causes the
insurgents to Surrender.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-[Speciall-
Senior Lazcana. CHILEAN minister at
Washington, to-day received cable
| gram, dated Valparaiso, August &c, from
NJ. NJ. Aldunate, minister of foreign
affairs, saying that on the 25th the in
surgent army was completely defeated
in Viva Del Mar. A division Of the
Gillian government army cut oil their
retreat to ships and obliged them to
surrender Internationally. All the
country, the dispatch adds, applauds
the valor and skill of tho government
army.
Julio Foster, secretary Of the Gillian
congressional delegates, said that he
had received no information of the sur
render Of the congressional army, as re-
ported in the previous dispatch. From
his conversation, however, it was appar-
ent that he believed the report to be
true.
Secretary Foster received dispatch
last night, however, that may have some
relation to the report received by the
Gillian minister. 1t was from Errazu-
riz, the congressional minister OF for
eign affairs at Iquique, and said that
the notices inspired by the dictator's
agent at Lima, Peru, were absolutely
without authority
Foster did not know the nature of the
notices referred to, but he thought they
might be similar to that indicated in
the dispatch received by the CHILEAN
minister. Speaking further of the mat
ter Mr. Foster said that the attempts Of
hn oecif, tn, nh
hold in the country occupied by balma-
ccdas troops were very desperate and
rash but that such u course had been
repeatedly urged upon the leaders OF
the army by many persons OF wealth
living in Valparaiso who sympathized
with the revolutionary cause, and by
many who had been furnishing money
to aid the congressional army.
Nothing has been rec 1iYed either at
the State or Navy Departments OF the
reported surrender of the Gillian cor
grcssional army on Tuesday at Viva del
Mar. Admiral Brown. commander OF
the pacific squadron who is now repre-
senting the United States in Gillian
waters, was at Coquimbo at the date OF
the latest mail advices received at the
department. This place is considerable
distance above the district where the
ny heihS vi 1uo khS1 icW QdyS has Dccu
going on, yet it is in the vicinity OF the
congressional governments headquar
tiers. 1t is thought, the refore, that such
important news should have reached
here. if not through official source at
least by rumOr, and it is, of course, sup
posed that he would hasten to report to
Department Minister Eagan at San
tiago
lie has had very little to communi-
cat, recently to tho department con-
corning the trouble in Chill, but an
event of such Importance as the sur
render Of the congressional army, it is
thought would have been tclegraphcd
promptly to the department.. But, no.-
withstanding non-receipt OF any news
except through tho Chilian minister,
with respect to matter, it is generally
| believed in official and unofficial circle
that the report of sure ndcr is true.
