 WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Senor Lazcano, the Chilian minister at Washington, to day received cablegram Valparaiso, dated the 26th, from NM. Aldunate, the minister of foreign affairs, saying that on that date the insurgent army was completely defeat ed in Vino del Var. A division of the Chilian government army cut off their re- treat to the ships and obliged them to sur render internationally. All the country, the dispatch adds, applauds the valor and skill of the government army.
 MT. Jilie Foster, the secretary of the Chilian 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 apparent that he believed the report to be true. Mir. Foster received dispatch last night how ever, that may have some relation to the report received by the Chilian minis ter. It was from MT. Errazuris, the congressional minister of foreign affairs at Iquique, and said that the notices inspired by the di- rectors against Lima, Peru, were absolute 1yyxu xu,5tbor1t oufhoritv Ia did mot 1poyu the nature of the news referred to, but he thought they might be similar to that in dicated in the dispatch receiv ed by the Chilian minister.
 Nothing has been received either at the state or navy departments of the reported surrender of the Chili Congressional army on Tuesday at Vina Del Mar. Admiral Brown, the commander of the Pacific Squadron, who is now representing the United States in Chilian waters, was at Co., quimbo at the date of the latest mail ad- vices received at the navy department. That place is considerable distance above the district, where the fighting of the past few days has been going on, yet it is in the vicinity of the congressional govern ments headquarters. It is thought, there fore, that such important news should have reached him, if not through official sources at least by rumor, and it is, of course, supposed that he would hasten to report it to the department, but notwith- standing the non-receipt of any news, ex- cept through the Chilian minister, with respect to the matter it is generally believ- ed here in official and unofficial circles that the report of the surrender is true.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The following cablegram was to-day received by Charles R. Flint from Valparaiso, showing the con ditions before the battle:
 "The insurgents have been cut off from their vessels, and are between two divis- ions of the government army, which is be- ing rapidly augmented by fresh arrivals of troops by railroad from the interior. It is expected that the defeat of the insurgent army will result in bringing the revolution to a close, although the feet could retire to the north and continue the rebellion, as land across the desert, and until the new cruisers arrive from Europe the govern ment would not be in position to attack the rebel feet"
 MT, Flint said that there was a better feeling in business circles in Valparaiso in consequence of the belief that there would be speedy termination of the war.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. s7.-The Chilian minister Lazcano said to reporter this afternoon that he was hourly expecting the details of the surrender of the Congres. I sional army, and as soon ss they came he l hoped to make them public. He is very 1 much elated over the turn affairs have l taken, as he thinks the loss of such 8 large l number of men by the insurgents will re, | suit in cessation of hostilities. He scouts 1 the suggestion that perhaps the insurgents ! may attempt to raise another army and | continue active operations. Such thing he says, would be impossible.
