BALMACEDA WINS.
This Is the Report Given Out by
Minister Lazcano.
MR.. FOSTER DENIES THE REPORT
He Has Received Dispatches from
Iquique Which Throw Reasonable
Doubt on the Truth of the Story.
Lazcano, However, Looks for a
Cessation of Hostilities.

Cessation of Hostilities.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Laz-
cano, the Chilean minister at Washing
ton, yesterday received a cablegram
dated Valparaiso, the 26th, from M. M.
Aldunate, the minister of foreign affairs,
saying that on the 25th the insurgent
army was completely defeated in Vino
del Mar. A division of the Chilean
army cut of their retreat to the ships
and obliged them to surrender uncon-
ditionally. All the country, the dis
patch adds, applauds the valor and skill
OF the government army.
Minister Lazcano said that he was
expecting the details of the surrender
of the insurgents, and as soon as they
came he hoped to make them public.
He is very much elated over the turn
things have taken, as he thinks the loss
of such large number of men by the
insurgents will result in cessation of
hostilities. He scouts the idea that,
perhaps, the insurgents may attempt to
raise another army and continue active
operations. Such thing, he says,
would be impossible.
The minister has sent dispatches to all
the Chilean consuls throughout the
United States apprising them of the
news
Mr.. Foster Denies the Report.
During the afternoon Mr.. Foster, the
secretary of the Congressional ENJOYS,
received three or four dispatches from
Minister Errazuriz at Iquique, which he
thinks throw considerable doubt on tho
accuracy Of the report Of the surrender.
These dispatches are addressed to
MIR. Muntt, who is the principal
of the Chilean envoy and say that
the news is favorable; that the Constitu-
tional army forces are still advancing,
and that the Congressional party is still
confident OF the defeat of Balnaceda's s
army. Errazuriz asks that the reports
given out by the agents Of the "dicta-
tor be denied
The news impaired by Balmaceda's
agent at Buenos Ayres, he also says, is
as inexact as that given to the public
by Mr.. Vicuna (Mr. Vicuna has been
elected to succeed Balmaceda us presi-
dent) The news referred to as being
given out at Buenos Ayres is supposed
Go be similar to that received here
by the agent Of the government. The
discrepancy in the dates and the nature
of the contents of the dispatch received
by the Chilean minister and those re-
csived by him, coupled with the fact
that the United States government has
received no official news of the reported
surrender, although it has its representa-
tives in the vicinity, Mr.. Foster thinks
is ominous and tends to yet make the
issue one of uncertainty.

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 8.--When

yesterday Nightingale was picked out
to win the ninth and final heat Of the
$4,000 race. At first she sold for $50,
against $13 to $15 for Little Albert, but
later she dropped to s25 to $40 and..$11
for the gelding. Faith in Nightingale
depended largely upon the belief that
Albert, who ended the last heat We'd

Beyond Recognitlon-Thirty Wounds
On His s~iayer's Body-An Inquest Held
by the Coroner and u Verdict Rcnd cred.
NEW YoRK, July 30.-Doud Boucon
and Thomas Channel, negro farm hands
ant Glen Head, l.. l., fought a duel
with razors in their sleeping room in an
old farm house about midnight.
Channel was killed and Boucon was
desperately wounded and just alive
when found In the morning.
The two men occupied a room about
eight feet square They went to bed Mt
the usual time. Just exactly what hap
pened nobody knows.
Boucon's version Of the affair is that
they quarreled before going to bed. Sub
sequently he was awakened to find
Channel sitting on him, and, though it
was dark in the room, he could see that
Channel was brandishing a razor. He
grappled with Channel and the two fell
on the floor, Boucon on top.
Fought Like Demons.
Both men fought like demons, each re-
| oelving terrible wounds. Boucon re-
members nothing after that except that
he regained his senses sufficiently to
crawl pack into bed, where he was found.
Boucon has over 80 gashes on his head
and neck, one within an eighth of an
inch of the iugular vein. He also re-
oeived a cash a foot long across the alb.
domen, nearly disemboweiing him.
Terribly Mnngied.
But Boucon's injuries are nothing com.
pared to Channels. The lead man is
mangled almost beyond recognition from
his head to his waist. Everything in the
room was covered with blood, streams OF
which ran through the floor to the room
below.
Boucon's wounds were dressed, and II
is thought that there is a chance Of his
recovery.

Two razors, a big knife and a club wer'
