China, Cal, TO Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Mason. 1t is expected to reach
Washington in a few days. The Sugar
Inspector for California reports that the
Chino Valley Beet Sugar Company began
the production of beet sugar on August
24th. 1t has planted 800 acres in beets,
and expects to produce 100000 pounds
of sugar.
The Inspector:IaIso reports that the

September Ith, and expects to produce
100000 pounds of sugar. The Alvarado
Sugar Company of Alvarado, Alameda

duction at 100000 pounds.
The Sugar Inspector for Kansas re-
ports that the Parkenton Sorghum Sugar
Company OF Fort Scott began operations
on August 2Sth, but has not yet made
any sugar. The company at Medicine
Lodge has also begun operations. All re-
ports received at the bureau indicate that
the production of sugar from beets,
sorghum, maple syrup and cane will be
up to the original estimates of the pro-
ducers, under which bounty was esti-
mated at about $40, 100000 per year.

late President Balmaceda had been killed
by one of men who are crossing the
mountains with him. No such report
has been heard of here, so far as can
ascertain.
''rhe steamer Arequipa arrived at Val
paraiso from 1quiQue last evening with
Senor Silva, Vice President of the Sem
ate, and Senor Ramon Baros Luco,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
who, with Senior Jorge Montt, comprise
the Junta de Gobierno. Senor ErraZuriz,
Provisional Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and other prominent Congressional lead
ers Were aboard.
"They were received in style and with
great enthusiasm. The British warship
Champion dressed ship and manned the
yards as the Arequipa entered the bay. a
national salute was fired from the forts,
and at their landing the officials were
greeted with music, fireworks and q
parade.
'"The question as to 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 San
Francisco last night, and the question as
to who should and who should not receive
guarantees was discussed.
The German and American Admirals
worked through their respective Minis
terS at Santiago, and were informed by
them that the Junta would under no cir
cumstances give any guarantees to the
recent PreSident-elect, Claudio Nicuna:
Senor Baurados, Oscar Viel, Godoy, Pc
raz Montt, Captain Fuentes, Senor Sala
or Colonel PaulOja. The eases of others
were kept under advisement until this
morning, when the Admirals were in
formed that no guarantees would be
given at all.
at was then decided to send the two
men-of-war with the refugees to the north.
The American and German war ships are
closely watched day and night by the au-
thOiities, and this may have given rise to
talk in foreign circles that an effort will
be made to prevent the sailing of the
Baltimore and the German ship. and to
take the refugees away from them by
force.
There is really no reason, as far as l
can learn, to believe that any such step
is in contemplation. 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 regard to Major Herrera, who
was Intendente ViePs paymaster and
editor of the Boietja, and Senor Lowen-
stein. They will probably be shot in
short order if found. Senors Silva and
Luca of the Junta and other Congress
slonal leaders left for Santiago this morn
ing.''
