CALLAo, Peru, Sept. 3.-The torpedo
boat Almirante Conder and the armed
transport Imperiale, the last armed
forces loyal to the late President Balma-
ceda, of Chile, formally surrendered to
the Chilean minister here, today, and
word was Immediately sent to the Junta
de Gibierno, at Santiago, that the two
vessels were at their disposal. The
Condell, under command of Captain
Morago, sailed for Valparaiso as convoy
to the Imperiale, August Gath, two days
after the landing of the Congressional
army at Quintero bay. The mission of
the two ships was to transport troops
from Coquimbo to Talcahuano. On ar
rival at Coquimbo, they received news
that Balmaceda had been defeated at
the hands of the Congressionals, and
Captain Morago decided to suspend the
transportation of the troops, and pro-
ceeded to Callao, q neutral port, where
orders could be received from the gov
ernment as to what course to pursue.
The Condell and Imperiale steamed
into port this morning and for the first
time heard of the defeat of the Balmace-
dists at Valparaiso, the fight of Balma-
ceda, the fall of Santiago and the COM
plete triumph of the junta. Captain
Morago has been particularly active IN
all the operations at sea against the rev.
olutiopists, and it would hardly be safe
for him to return to Chile. After con-
sultation with the Chilean minister, he
decided formally to turn over the two
ships to that official as the representa-
tive of the nation. The transfer was
made today, and the minister cabled the
junta for instructions as to what should
be done with the vessels.
BALMAcEDA NOT SLAIN.
The HeraId's Valparaiso special says:
In accordance with instructions, have
investigatedJthe report that the late
President Balmaceda haA been killed BY
one Of the men who are crossing the
mountains with him. No such report
has been heard here, so far as | can
ascertain. @
ARRIVAL OF THE ,JUNTA.
The steamer Arequipa arrived at
Valparaiso from Iquidue last eve
ming, with Sefior Silva, vice-president
OF the senate, and Senior Ramon Baros
Luco, speaker of the house of represen-
tatives, who, with Senior large Montt,
comprise the junta de Gobierno; !; Senior
Errazuriz, provisional minister of for
eign affairs, and other prominent Con-
gressional leaders aboard. They were
received in style with great enthusiasm.
The British war ship, Champion,
dressed ship and manned the yards as
the Arequipa entered the bay. A ma
tjonal salute was fred from the forts,
and at their landing the officials were
greeted with music, fireworks and a
parade.
DISPOSITION OF THE REFUGEES.
The question of the disposition of the
refugees has been definitely settled, and
tomorrow the United States steamer
Baltimore and German man-of-war
will leave for Peru with all the refugees
aboard. A final conference was held
aboard Admiral Browns flagship, the
San Francisco, last night, and the ques-
tion as to who should and who should
not receive guarantees was d9-
cussed. The German and American ad-
mirals worked through their respective
ministers at Santiago, and were in
formed by them that the junta would
under no circumstances give any guar
antees to the recent President-elect
Claudi Vicuf1a. Sfior Bauradas, Oscar
Viele, Godoy, Peraz, Montt, Captain
Fuentes, Senior Sala, or Colonel Pauloja.
The cases of the others were kept under
advisement until this morning, when
the admirals were informed that no
guarantees would be given at all.
1t was then decided to send two men-of-
war with the refugees to the north.
The American and German war ships
are closely watched day and night by
tina authorities, and this may have
given rise to the talk in foreign circles
that an effort will be made to prevent
the sailing of the Baltimore and Ger
man ships, and to take the refugees
arms from them by force. There is
really no reason, SO far as can learn,
to believe that any such step is in con-
temptation.
MARKED MEN.
All the newspaper supporters of the
late government are marked men, and
will have to leave the country if they
can. This is particularly the case in re-
gard to Major Herrera, who was Inten-
dente Viele's paymaster, and editor of
the Boletin, and Senior Lowenstein.
They will probably be shot in short
order if they are found.
Seniors Silva and Luco, of the Junta,
and other Congressional leaders left for
Santiago this morning.
