The CHILEAN Minister Has No News.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-Senor Lag
cano. the Gillian minister, said late
last evening that he had received no
news from Chilli other than the dispatch
from the minister of foreign affairs
given to the United Press yesterday.
He was shown the dispatch received
by the congressional ENJOYS in Wash
ington, yesterday, announcing a victory
for the congressional party, but said

Official News of the Insurgent victory.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The official
news of the insurgent victory in Chilli
cabled to the state department by the
United States consul at Valparaiso set
ties beyond doubt the conflicting re-
ports of the past few days concerning
the condition of affairs at the seat of
war. The receipt of dispatches from
Valparaiso telling of victory for the
Balmacedists is explained by state
and navy department officials as
resulting from Balmaceda's control of
the cable line from that city. Doubt
as to the absolute authenticity of these
dispatches was expressed in official cir
cles yesterday, for the reason that it is
a custom in vogue here. a part of diplo-
matte etiquette, in fact, that where
minister receives an important dispatch
from his home government that is
given out for publication, it is sent at
once to the state department for
the information of this gov
eminent. This was not done, and
as a result, the department officials and
the members of the diplomatic corps
now in town discredited the stories and
inclined to the belief that there was
nothing more than some skirmishing.
From Consul McCreary's dispatch it
would seem that this belief is correct.

grams of congratulation were received
during the evening from prominent
people in Chilli, who are in sympathy
with the congressional forces.
When asked what the status of
United States Minister Egan would be
if the congressional party took control
of the government, Mr.. Foster said:
He cannot remain as the United
States minister. We would request the
United States government to recall
who has been partial to Balmaceda,
and an enemy to the congressionalists,
and one who has always persisted that
would not be defeated If
is entirely dethroned," said
Mr.. Foster. "he and his followers will
not be punished, as we believe the
greatest punishment to these men, who
for the first time have figured in the
upper strata, will be their short-lived
power and the public indignation
heaped upon them"
