That i'll forming their judgment of this Chiliat

In the first place, remember that the factior
now dominating Chile controls all telegraph,
and cable communication with the outer world
and therefore no accounts unfaV0rabe to them
selves are being sent abroad. On the contrary

A mark of the civilization of any land i, it,
treatment of a conquered foe. A fair sample
OF the ''mercy" that prevails in Chile was
shown in the illumination of their homes and
other demonstrations of jov by the powers
that now be, when the depo>ed ana conquered
eN-iresi'!ent who certainly could do no harm,
lay dead in the capital city, having taken his
own l!fu in the vain hope of saving from fur

OCCASION.

Of his country nearer at heart than does the
priG>tr0ntrulird faction which defeated him,
assisted by English brains and capital for mer-
ccnary purposes. Hostile feeling toward Ameri-
