The Herald from Nalpa1 also says:
Balmaceda's power in Chill is broken.
His army has been crushed after five
hours of hard fighting, and it scattered be-
yond all hope of reorganization. The revo-
lutionists have taken possession of Val
paraiso. The future of Chill for the
time has been settled conclusively.
Tho Situation.
With Balmaceda practically a fugi-
tive without resources in men or money;
with the principal seaports Of the coun-
try in the hands Of the congressionalists,
and consequent shutting off of all in
come from customs receipts; with Presi-
dent-elect Vicuna a refugee on board
the German warship, and the country
focking en- masse to the standard Of the
invaders, it is matter of only a few
days when the capital will fall into the
hands of the revolutionary leaders.
The New Government.
A new government will possibly judge
Belisario Prats, head of the last parlia-
mentary cabinet of Balmaceda, Or Man
uel Jose Irarrazaval, head of congress of
cabinet, at its head will be formed and
things will go along in about the same
way in Chill as they did before Jan. Z,
when hostilities were formally begun.
General Canto and his army won Fri
days battle by superior generalship,
good fighting, assisted by good fortune
in the killing of Balmaceda's generals
and the consequent Generalization of
the army and the desertion Of entire
regiments.

Maneuvering for Position.

Ever since the arrival OF the congress
sionalist army at Vina del Mar there
has been constant series of maneuvers
for position on the part of both gener-
ais. Every day and nearly every hour
of the day there have been skirmishes,
in some instances amounting almost to
battles. In nearly all of these the oppo-
sition has had the better of 1t.
A close censorship of dispatches was
established by Balmaceda, however,
and only an inkling of the reverses to
his army could be got through.
Then all was not harmony in the mil
itary councils of the president. Both
generals, Barbora and Alzerreca, want
ed to have supreme command of the
forces in the field. This friction and
jealousy resulted in almost an open rup-
ture Thursday, and the two officers
worked at cross purposes.
General Canto was in no hurry to
move on the enemy, because he was re-
ceiving constant accessions to his ranks
from the surrounding country.
The Battle Begins.
Early Friday morning the boom of
cannon announced to the people of Val
paraiso that a movement beyond the
ordinary skirmishes had begun.
The Decisive Struggle.
The occasional loud reports of the
heavy guns soon swelled into one con-
tinuous roar, and then it was known
that the final decisive struggle which
was to decide whether Balmaceda or the
iunta was to be the ruling power in Chill
had begun.
Intense Excitement.

the fire of battle, Admiral Vial, the

gressional leader, who refused q safe
conduct from Balmaceda, and has re-
mained in Santiago since the commence

duct of affairs for them in the south,
was requested by General Canto to take
possession of the city and act as In
tendent until such time as permanent
arrangements could be made. This he
did.
In the meantime there had been a
general flight of government officials.
Shortly after noon the victorious army
began to enter the captured city.
A Naval Battle.

ton from Fort Valdivia to Vina del
Mar.
The city is as quiet as could be ex-
pected under the circumstances, and no
trouble is expected.
Where IN Balmaceda?
Nobody has any knowledge of the
whereabouts of President Balmaceda.
The insurgent leaders are exceedingly
anxious to find out where he is, and if
they succeed in finding him, the
chances are that it would go hard with
him. The general belief here is that he

Intense Excitement.


Excitement was intense at Valparaiso.
The streets We're crowded with people,
women predominating, anxiously wait
ing for news and talking of the contest
which was in progress only few miles
away,
General Canto's position was on the
hills above the race track at Vina del
Mar, outside cf the city He had abso-
lutte control of the railroad to Santiago
and commanded the ordinary roads.
Hence Santiago was practically ina state
of siege.
Something Had to be Done.
Affairs had come to such a pass that it
was necessary for President Balmaceda
TO make some move, and a little after
daylight the word was given to attack
the position held by the revolutionists,
and, led by Generals Barbosa and Alzer-
recca, the government troops left their
breastworks and advanced on the enemy
under cover of heavy fire from their
batteries.
Superior Arms of the Insurgents.
The insurgents were generally armed
with Mannlicher rifles and used smoke
less powder. The government troops
were not SO well armed.
Forced to Retire.
AS soon as the approaching column
got within range of the Mannlichers a
destructive fire began from the in
trenchod revolutionists and the engage
ment became general. Shot and shell,
grape and canister and rife bullets

Cattle Raising.

The Roswell N. Nj Record thus speaks
Of the cattle interests, past, present and
future: The continued high prices which
beef steers are bringing in the market
gives more encouragement to the business
of raising cattle than it hes received in the
last six years Many Western cattlemen
have been seriously cramped by the decline
of $40, and not a few lost fortunes which
they had spent a lifetime in accommodating;
Yet it seems. from present indications, that
all those who have been able to weather the
storms of the last five years will at last
reap the reward. We do not expect to see
the price of cattle reach the point II did in
1888 but We do expect to see them 90 to 4
figure which will pay for the care, the cost
of handling and good interest on the invest,
mept. OverStocked ranges, coupled with
a succession of hard winters. have depleted
many herd. and have FASTENED on the ruin
of many who might otherwise have stood
the fall in prices. There are not as many
cattle in the West as there We're ten years
ago, and, upon fair estimate. there are not
enough cattle in the United States TO feed
her own people fer the period of ninety
days. The surplus has been disposed of.
and the time will soon be at hand when the
producer will not be ut the mercy OF the
Big -Four, but can get something like a fair
value for his beef

KNOCKED OUT AGAIN
Judge Tnley's Decision Against the lie
baters Affirmed by a Higher Court

About a year ago the American livestock
commission company filed bill in the cir
cult court TO compel the Chicago livestock
exchange TO issue Il certificate of member
ship in the exchange to complainant, and to
restrain members of the exchange from re-
fusing to do business at the StockyardS
with complainant The latter alleged that
the exchange was creating 4 monopoly
against public policy. Judge Tuley dis
missed the bill and the American company
appealed. Judge Gary concludes that the
exchange does no business with the outside
world, but that its members deal in live
stock for their own benefit. and not that of
the public. \ court Of equity cannot COM

enjoining the thousand agreeing among
