he issued S12,000,000 worth of pape
/, money, which was taken by the peopl
and used TO pay the army. The currenc,
of Chill consists of notes issued anC
guaranteed by the government. Thi

''Do you know of any firms in New
York that are supplying the insurgents
with arms?"
''No, | do not"
"How long do you think the struggI2

1T IS very hard to say, but am afraid
1t will last many months, as the opposi-
| ton is not likely to accept as a solution
Of the difficulty the man Balmaceda pro-
poses shall succeed him as president
| (SenCr Vi.ura) when his term expires on
Septem ber 18th next"
'How is the credit of Chill with for
eign nations?"
"Ohil.an bonds have declined little
owing to the revolution. but not to the.
extent that mi have been expected
hill has enjoyed such an excellen repu
talon that the eff CT has net be in he E

heTt ia ext rnal debts ere only about
S35 100000 which is no doubt 10 any case
case perfectly good"
IF necessary cCu'd she o tam any
material assistance from London in the
W y Of loans?"
Under present circumstances it is not
at all likely hat she could obtain any
assistance in the London market, but in
normal times she could have had all the
mensy she desired for public works and
other uses. her last loan which was a
million pound sterling was placed at
V.c'ors at par. TO speak accura ely /
believe it was 80 and I understand held
principally by the RUthsbhilds."
