New YoRK, Sept. 2.-The Herd,d's VAL

not have as much money when
he reaches London as he thought
he would by 100000. Deputy Yer
duga was captured today at Valca
while on his way out of the country with
the purpose, il is supposed, of joining
Balmaceda. When turned over to the au-
thorities at Santiago he had $4,000 in
Chilean bank notes and 500. 600 drafts ON
London. This was conhscated by the junta.
There is little doubt that Baimaceda is
making his way over the Andes through
the south pass. It would be impossible 10
stop him now.
Minister Egan's friends are doing their
utmost 20 dispel the impression that he
has acted Extensively as partisan % ths

This was done, says Spencer. in the faes

IL may. the bitter feeling against Egan in
particular and Americans in general
shows no signs of abatement.
The congressional leaders profess 10 ha
puzzled az the continued refusal of the
state department as Washington City TO
recognize their envOys al the capital and
are generally inclined 90 attribute the
tardiness TO ulterior motives. though Just
what they may be they do not say.
No further news has been received from
the mob-si ricken town OF COronel. II Is
understood that the provisional govern
ment has taken steps which will insure
the restoration of order very soon. Prob
ably some fighting may occur before the
mob is quelled and the leaders
most certainly will be shot when
captured. The members of the junta
are expected TO arrive tonight or tomorrow
on the steamer, and great preparations
have been made for their reception. Many
bodies of the dead from the battle fields
were burned today, and the balance will
probably be cremated tomorrow. The
wounded are all receiving the best of at
tention.
Intendant Walker, of Martinez, has tfrs
city government in working order, and the
place is gradually settling down to an
ante-bellum state. The same is true of
Santiago.
A proclamation has been issued that all
harboring Balmacedan officials will be
shot
Balmaceda, when he fled, left his family
behind him. They are now under the care
OF his brother-in-lsw, Senior Torres, who In

WASHINGTON CRY, Sept. AT last the
department of state has heard directly from
Minister Egan. News came in the form of
the following cablegram:
SANTIAGO, Sept. 1.
To Secretary Blaine, Washington City: A deci-
sive battle was fought at Valparaiso on August
D. The revolution was entirely successful.
President Bslmaeeda resigned on the 10Th, and
the revolutionists are fully installed. Every
thing is tranquil (signed) EGAN.
The delay in receiving this report is
solved by the department. Acting Secre-
taTy Wharton received information that
telegraphic connection between Santiago
and Valparaiso the western terminus,
had been cut and but Just restored, and
that the line eastward from Santiago to
Buenos Ayres was interrupted by heavy
SHOWS in the Andes mountains. Although
Minister Egan's cablegram officially
indicates the success of what he decribes
as revolution, he has not yet Informed
the department Of state that n government
has been set up that may be recognized as
government OF the people representative
OF that country. Accordingly the depart
ment will probably await further detailed
information from the minister before ac-
cording a formal recognition to the new
government.
LoSDoS, Sept. 2.-The injunction ap-
piled for on behalf OF the agent of the
Junta, or provisional government Of Chile
was granted in court today, restricting the
City Bank from paying or negotiating. un-
til it is decided by trial or until further
order is issued. A bill of exchange for
$4,000 was drawn on the National Bank Of
Chile, made payable TO Jaquin today, ex-
President Balmaceda's chief financial
agent in Europe, and accepted by the
Chile bank, but which had not been dis
