THINK IT A FAKE.
Washington Oficials Put No Confidence
in the Insurgent Surrender Story.

Washington Ofacials Put No Confidence
in the Insurgent Surrender Story.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.--The dispatch
pruporting to be from Valparaiso which
was given out by the Chilian minister
announcing the surrender of the So
called insurgents is not deemed reliable
here. In diplomatic circles 1T is regarded
as fake. Whether the fake originated
in Washington, New York or Valparaiso
no one in authority ventures to say, but
1t is said the state department nor
the diplomatic corps places the
slightest faith in the message. Assist
ant Secretary of State Wharton said that
the diplomats had no official information
OF the Chilian minister having received
any dispatch from Valparaiso or any
where else.
The Story Contradicted.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-The follow
ing cablegram was received here during
the evening by the Chilian representa-
tves Of the constitutional or insurgent
party.
"IoUIoUE, Aug T.-The constit utional
forces continue advancing. We have con-
fidence in the defeat of Balmaceda. Con-
tradict the news given by the director
gaents. (Signed) ERRAZURIz."

not hesitated to attact the railway Of
ficials and severely beat the Jewish

VT, says the successor of Secretary

Friday night with Adolph Gouche,
who in concert with one Jack
Ritchie last April, year, broke into
a store at Butteville. These two

escape and has ever since succeeded
in eluding the officers of the law.
Sheriff Croisan has had several in
effectual chases after him. Once he
heard of him as fishing down on the
Columbia river, but he could not
find him. Again he was located at
the Cascades. but upon the sheriff $
arrival ne was non. est.
CAUGHT AT LAST.
A few days ago Sheriff Croisan
received an intimation that he was
at The Dalles, but upon reaching
there he learned that he had left and
gone on into Tygh valley. Taking
Sheriff Cate, of Wasco county,
with him, they procured a wagon
and drove abovt sixty miles south
of The Dalles to ranch where
Gouche was supposed to be working.
He had left there but a few hours
by the footprints in the road they
tracked their man, and came up to
him before he was aware who they
were. He was taken into custody
without any resistance, although he
had been heard to declare that he
would not be taken alive. He was
brought down to Salem and lodged
in the county Jail.
