! WASHINGTON, Sept AT last the De-
partment of State has heard directly from
Minister Egan. The news came in from
the following cablegram, dated at Santi-
| ago, September lst, and addressed TO Sec
retary Blaine:
Ihere was decisive battle at Valpa-
ralso August 2Sth. The revolution was
entirely successful. President Balfna-
| ceda resigned on tho 29th. The revollI-
tlonlsts are fully installed and everything
is tranquil"
The delay in receiving this renort ia
solved by tho department. Acting Sec
retary Wharton received information
that telegraphic connection between San
tiago and Valparaiso, at the western ter
minus, had been cut and has lust been
restored, and that the line eastward from
Santiago to Buenos Ayres has been inter-
rupted by heavy SHOWS in the Andes
Mountains. Although Minister Egan's
caDlegram officially indicates the success
OF what he describes as a revolution no
mas not vet informed the Department of
State that Government has been set mn
that may be recognized as a Government
| OF the people and representative of the
| country. Accordingly the department
Will probably await further detailed in
formation from the Minister before ac-
| cordlng formal recognition to the new
Government.

THE ITATA CASE.
NEW YORK, Sept 2.-W. w. Goodrich.
retained as counsel to defend the Itata in
the libel suit, returned to-day from
washington, where he has been with the
purpose of comforting with certain Gov
ernment officials regarding the case This
morning he had conference with G. II.
Flint, agent of the Chilean Steamship
Company and owner of the Itata. and
atterward announced he would make no
statement regarding the position he
would take in the matter. He will de-
part for California at the close of this
week, and probably will be accompanied
by Irumbull, the agent of the insurgents,
and Burt, who shipped the arms libeled
by the Government.
LITTLE MORE FIGHTING MAY TAKE
PLACE.
NEW YORK, Sept. "A Herald Val
paraisO special says: Balmaceda will not
have as much money when he reaches
London, as he thought he would, by a
million dollars. Deputy Verduga was
captured to-day at Yalca, while on his
way out of the country with the purpose.
1t is supposed, of joining Bafmaceda.
When turned over to the authorities he
had S300,000 in Chilean bank notes and
SS00C00 in drafts on London. This was
cOntiscated by the Junta.
There is little doubt that Balmaceda is
making his way over the Andes through
the south pass. 1t would be impossible
to stop him now.
Minister Egan's friends are doing their
utmost to dispel the impression that he
has acted Extensively as partisan of the
late Government. One of them, named
Spencer, Is authority for the statement
that it was largely due to Egan's efforts
that the President decided to turn over
the Government to Baquenado and pavc
up the struggle. This was done, saws
Spencer, in the face of the opposition OF
Balmaceda's Ministers, who insisted that
the victory of the revolutionists at Pla-
ella was not decisive, and were desirous
Of keeping up the fight, despite the fall of
Valparaiso. Be this as it may, the bitter
feeling against Egan in particular and
Americans IN general shows no signs of
abatement.
The Congressional leaders profess to be
puzzled at the continued refusal of tho
State Department. at Washington to Fecog-
nize their ENJOYS at the capital, and are
generally inclined to attribute the tardi-
ness to Interior motives, though Just what
these may be they do not say. There are
vague rumors of fat contracts and nitrate
beds in the air, but nothing definite is
specified.
No further news has been received from
the mob-stricken town of Coronel 1t is
understood that the Provisional Govern
ment has taken steps which insure tho
restoration of order very soon. Probably
some lighting may occur before the mob
is quelled, and the leaders will most GER
tainly be shot when captured. Members
of the Junta were expected to arrive to-
night or tomorrow on the steamer, and
great preparations have been made for
their reception.
Many bodies Of the dead from the bat
tlefeld were buried to-day, and the bal
ance will probably be cremated to-mor-
row. The wounded are all receiving tho
best of attention.
Intendente Walker Martinez has got
the city government in working order,
and the place is gradually settling down
to an ante-bellum state. The same is
true of Santiago. A proclamation has
been issued that all harboring Balmaceda
officials be shot.
Balmaceda, when he fled, left his
family behind. They are now under the
care of his brother-in-law, Senor Torres,
who is strong supporter of the Con-
gressionalists.
