WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-At late
hour tonight the congressional ENJOYS
in this city received the following dis
patch:
Iquique. Aug. 29.-AccordiDg to an official
dispatch from Commander MOntt, Of the con-
gressional naval forces, in the battle OF Con-
con the enemy lost 1850 men. and
an equal number of prisoners were cap
tured Two thousand rifles were taken
and q number of field pieces. Our loss was
SOS. Among the killed were five officers. In
the battle of Placilla The defeat OF Balmaeeda
was complete. His two generals. Balico and
AlgeZeTa, were killed. and many other omceTs.
Nicuna, the president-elect, has escaped on
board foreign war vessel. The whereabouts
Of Balmaceda Is unknown. ERRAZURIZ.
The battle of Concon, the ENJOYS say,
was fought on the first day the insur-
gent army landed in the vicinity of Val
paraiso. The battle of Placilla was
fought yesterday. Numerous cOngrat-
ulatory dispatches from many places
have been received by the Congress
iOnal ENJOYS during the day.
The state department has not re-
ceived any information to-day relative
to the war in Chill from its representa-
tives in that country. The nOn-receipt
of news from Minister Egan at Santiago
is believed to be due to the fact that
tiOn with Valparaiso, or else there
is a censorship over the dispatches
sent from thore. It is believed he would
have reported to the department the
surrender of Valparaiso had he heard
any such news. The navy department
is also without any news to-day. The
navy department officials think there
are good reasons for not hearing
from Admiral Brown. He has evil
dently been communicating with the
United States minister at Valparaiso,
and knows that he has telegraphed the
result Of the battle. This IS assured
from the fact that, according to the pub
lished statements, sailors from the san
Francisco were engaged yesterday ID
guarding the consulate.
1t is also said by these officials that
there is no particular reason for his
communicating to the department un-
less some particular question should
arise in which the admiral should desire
advice. His instructions from the de-
partment are sufficient for the present
condition of affairs.
Senior LaZcanO, the Gillian minister,
denied himself TO all newspaper re-
pOrters to-day. 1t is not believed. how
ever, that he received any dispatches
from Chill bearing on the war. As to
the diplomatic aspect OF the situation, 1t
has not been changed by yesterdays
events. As long as Balmaceda remains
in possession Of Santiago, the capital
of Chill. and until the Congressional
party shall have set up de facto gov
ernment, which will be really the gov
ernment OF the country, the department
of state cannot have relations with the
Congressional party, and must continue
to recognize Balmaceda as president
and Senior LaZcanO as minister of Chill.
Senor MOntt tonight received the fol-
lowing cable:
iquique, Aug. 29.-Dom Pedro AOntt,
Washington: The triumph in PlacIdia
has been complete. COmmandante
Montt communicates that the troops Of
Balmaceda numbered 1900 men,
Three thousand prisoners and all his
artillery mas been taken. The torpedo
boats Lynch and Aide have been taken
and are in our power. Valparaiso was
occupied without resistance. Vicuna
Valdos, minister of the interior, and
Viel, ntendante of Valparaiso. es-
capped to vessels in the harbOr. Our
losses have been considerable.
ERRAZURIZ.
