THE BRITISH MINISTER CRITICISED.
The British minister, himself, is be-
ing criticised for having secured Tor
Balmaceda British man-of-war, IN
which to send several million dollars in
silver out OF the country.
At the date of the letter, the pro-
visional government had acknowledged
that the United States was acting right
in giving refugees an asylum, and IL is
believed safe conduct will ultimately be
Issued.
A letter is enclosed, which was print
ed in a Santiago paper, from FRANK
Egan, son of the minister, dealing at
length with the innuendoes dealt in by
certain American papers, and reiutlng
the charges brought against himself ana
his father in the matter of contracts,
STAT jobs" etc.
THE JUNTA's CABINET RESIGNS.
LONDON, Nov. IA dispatch from
Santiago, Chile, says the cabinet APP
pointed by the junta have rendered
their designations. This action is due
to the fact that the Liberal deputies
failed to elect councillors of the state in
accordance with an agreement they pro-
visionally entered upon with the min
isters. A mixed cabinet will be formed
to carry out a non-political programme.
CABINET TROUBLES sUBsIDING.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Herald's
Valparaiso cable says: The complica-
tions that have arisen in the provisional
government of Chile on account of the
resignation of Minister of the Interior
Irrazabel, and Minister of Agriculture
Walker Martinez, seem in fair way OF
being Strengthened out. They surren-
dered their Offices because the dominant
Liberal party failed to elect conserva-
tive councillors of state, as 1t is alleged
they had agreed to do. 1t is now re-
ported that two members of the council
OF state stand ready to resign, rather
than cause any political i'll feeling. II
this action is taken it will create yacan-
cies in the council for two Conservatives.
It is expected, in view of the conces-
sions made to their party: Irrazabel and
Walker Martinez will resume their
portfolios.
The name of the doctor whose SER
vices as surgeon general have been re-
warded by Presidential Jorge Montt,
is Orlof Page, not Paz, as cabled yester-
day.
A report has just reached here from
Santiago, that Pedro Gandarillas has
shot and killed himself at his hiding
place on farm III the mountains, in the
vicinity of the capital. He was Balma-
ceda's minister of agriculture in the
first cabinet formed by the dictator.
The cause of his suicide was fear of per-
secution on the part of the junta. He
did not dare to stand trial.
The military tribunal today sentenced
ten of Balmaceda's officers in the army
to Punishment from Chile for five years
and day, and disbars them from hold
ing any offices in this country.
EGAN's RECALL WOULD SETTLE IT.
New York, Nov. 12.-Among the pas
sengers on the City OF Para today from
Panama was G. A. Sweat, railroad en-
gineer. who has passed the last two years
in Chile. He does not think there is any
chance OF the Baltimore incident result
ing in serious trouble, and said: ''Let
Minister Egan be recalled, and believe
the war talk will subside."
Max Loewenstein also arrived ON the
City OF Para. He was Balmacedist.
He was a one of the refugees sheltered
on the Baltimore. He is British sub
ject. He speaks in terms Of highest
praise of Captain Schley and his actions,
and adds: 81 am not inclined to criticise
Minister Egan. think he is being very
greatly misrepresented by some OF his
own countrymen. 1t is not true that he
is hated in Chile. There was little
feeling against him, but l do not think
it exists any more"
