THE WAR IN CHILL.

News of the Battle Near Valparaiso
 Hailed With Delight in London
 The Influence on the Stock Ex-
 changes.
 LONDON, Aug. 25.-The papers here welcome the news of the battle which be- gan on Friday last near Valparaiso between the government troops and the Chilian in- surgents. They believe that both the con tending forces have concentrated all their energies in the vincinity of Valparaiso, and the battle which has been so fercely ragged there is an indication of the speedy end of the struggle which is bringing such disastrous results to Chii. The news 1of the battle when received here had favor able influence on the stock exchanges. The prices of Chilian bonds advanced slightly. It is believed that a big recovery in these bonds will occur when things have set tied down, although the conditions which prevail in the other South American re- publics will prevent a speedy return to the prices that ruled before the breaking out of the troubles.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 25.-Telegraphic advices received from points in Northwest Dakota detail the damage to crops by the frost Sunday night. The small grains are not damaged to any extent, much of the standing wheat being ripe or beyond the period when frost would damage it. After the first scare is over it will probably be found that the damage is not great enough to seriously hurt the size or grade of the berry, save in the fields that were back ward. Corn and small crops have been seriously damaged

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-An ominous
silence IS maintained in official circles
respecting the news from Chill. 1t is
everywhere conceded that important
dispatches have been received from
Minister Egan, but it is impossible to
learn their contents. so close-mOuthed
are the officials who are in position to
know what they are.
ChilTs provisional government. which
still has control of affairs, anu is Tespon-
slbie for the events leading UP to the
present condition of things. has an ex-
istence limited to only about ten days
longer, and 1t is not believed that this
government. unless forced by extraor-
binary events not now foreseen or an
ticipated, will precipitate crisis
with it.
As nothing has recently been received
from valparaiso. il may Confidently be
asserted that no worse or insulting de-
neanor has occurred than the United
ctateS representative and those under
his protection had previously received
and which has been made public.
The administration. while not dis
posed TO rush matters. in view of the
speedy change, is closely watching the
progress OF events and making prepare
lions to promptly meet any emergency
which may arise. When the new cabi-
net Is announced there may be a
foreign minister who will pursue a
different policy from that of the present
minister, and with whom a satisfactory
settlement may be made without resort
TO unpleasant measures. But it is only
falr to say that not much hope exists
That the new government will be any
