| WASHINGTON, June 11.-Ricardo L
Trumbun of Chill, who has been indicted
at San Francisco, charged with violation
of the neutrality laws of the United Statei
| in connection with the transfer of arms
| from the schooner Robert and Minnie tc
the Itata, has arrived in Washington.
In an interview, Mr.. Trumbuu de-
nounced the Bslmaceda government TO,
various acts and predicted the triumph Of
the insurgent party. He asserted that
arms were not taken off the Itata before
she was surrendered to the American Off
GERS at Iquique, and that this report was
spread by enemies of tho insurgents. The
Itata's cargo, he said, consisted of 5000
Mr.. Trumbull had o long interview
with Secretary Tracy to-day There is
reason to believe that he made a strong
plea for the insurgent cause, and sought
to have the arms still on the Itata remain
in the custody of Admiral Mccain until a
judicial determination of their owner
ship can be reached. Of course the IN
conditional landing of the arms in Chill
would be preferred by the insurgents,
but failing this, they are anxious to pre-
vent the return of the weapons to the
United States.
Mr.. Trumbull said that the condition of
affairs in Chilli is one of absolute despot-
ism. He had no hope of relief as a result
of the presidential election this month.
Balmaceda's adherents, he said, comprise
all of the Office holderA and hangers on and
fSvorites, but the people as a whole are
opposed to him. Nevertheless, in the
present state of affairs, with the courts
closed by Balmaceda's orders and suffrage
practically suppressed, he would find it an
easy matter to dictate his successor. The
new president would not assume his Office
before next September, which is also the
date set for the trial of the Itata in Cali
fornia, SO that no tangible hope of relief in
the near future is held out.
LONDON, June 1.-THE Chilian iunta
has issued a note signed by the congress.

and claims for the provisional government
belligerent rights, on the ground that it is
an organization sufficiently regular and re-
sponsible to Chilians and to foreigners,
and able to make itself respected by force
of arms. The note maintains that the
junta has been invested with the regular
constitutional authority by the congress
which was elected in March, 1888. The
note continues by stating that the con-
grsssional party has undisputed jurisdic-
of Chilli, comprising, it is added, over
half the populated territory of the repub-
lie. The congressional party also claims
that it is growing in military power and
that its naval supremacy is indisputable,
enabling it to maintain sovereignty over
its territory and to threaten the provinces
still under the dictator"
In view Of these facts the provisional
government says it is called upon to main
tain international, commercial and other
relations, and, therefore, claims that it is
entitled better than the Balmaceda govern
mont to be considered a perfect internal
body.
LONDON, June 11.-President Balmaceda
has sent the following despatch to Reuters
agency from Santiago:
