CONGRESSIONAL enyoys:
Teuioue. Aug. 30.-Don Pedro Montt Wash

ERRAzURIz-
The dispatch from Admiral Brown to
the navy department was the only IN
formation received here to-day by the
government officials OF the situation IN
ChiI.noThlng further having been heard
from the consul at Valparaiso since
his dispatch announcing the surrender
of that city 10 the insurgents, nor has
ANYTHING been received from Minister
Fgan at Santiago. 1t is believed by
officials of the state department, not
withstanding the dispatches to the con-
trarv. that Santiago Is still in the hands
of Balmaccda. They base this opinion
on the fact that the department has not
been informed by Minister Eagan Of its
capture. They say he would Ger
tainly have notified the depart
ment had the city been sur
rendered, as there is no inter-
ference with the cable line via BuenOs
Ayres. so far as the department knows.
The Chiian minister declined to receive
any one tonight. 1t is reliably reported
that he received word to-day that Bal
maeeda was still in possession OF Santi-
ago. and had not 1ied. The only news
received here by the ENJOYS Of the Con-
gressional party besides the dispatch
from IQuiQue. saying the iunta was on
Its way 10 Santiago. was message from
Lima. stating that Santiago is in the
hands OF the Congressional party. and
that they have established a temporary
authority looking to the safety OF per
sons ana property, that BaImaceda's
whereabouts are unknown. Mr.. MOntt
SAYS there can be no doubt but the cap
itaI has fallen. and that the insurgents
will soon be in fuli control Of the gov
ernment.
PARIS. Aug. 3O.-The agents of the
ChiIian Congressional party have re-
eeived an official dispatch from Santiago
saying that the Congressional party is
In control Of the capital; that Balmace-
da fed Friday night, and that the coun-
Try is tranquil. BuenOs Ayres dis
patches say that Balmaceda resigned IN
favor of Gen. BaQuedanO.
BERLIN. Aug. 3O.-The commander of
the Chiliau cruiser Presidente Pinto
has asked the Grrman authorities for
permission to dock his vessel at Kiel.
LONDON. Aug. 3l.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times says the Brit
ish man-Of-war Espiegle consented to
carry Balmaceda's silver only after an
American mau-Of-war had declined
tempting offers TO perform the same
service.
The Standards Berlin correspondent
says: The surrender OF Valparaiso
was preceded by rapid exchange Of
kilograms between 1le German foreign
Cflce and the German admiral in Chill.
The avoidance of biOOdshed and dis
order is attributed to the cOmprehen-
sive measures which the German ad
miraI took, IN conjunction with the
other foreign admiral" The press Of
both Berlin and Paris rejoice at the fall
OF Balmaceda.
