QUIET II CHILL
Affairs in Chill have almost settled down 10
the ante-bellum state 81 quiet and order. There
has been nothing decided yet regarding the
elections and the establishment OF a constItu-
tionI government II will take several
weeks at least before the necessary arrange
ments for this can be conn leted, and IN the
meantime the Junta de Gobierno will admins
ter the affairs Of the country.
The governments OF brazil and Peru have
officially congratulated the junta on the &C
tory of the cong ressional party and the restora-
ton OF peace ln Lill.
A decree has been issued by the iunta an
nounclng that the notes issued during the reyo-
luton by balmaceda would he recognized as
legal by the new government
An investigation OF the banks shows that
many Of the Balmaccdist officials had taken
care to pretty wei feather their nests. Bal
ances ranging from $4,000 to upward Of
Sl.OOOOOO are CARRIED in the names Of men who
were known TO be poor before the beginning Of
the trouble. Such balances will all be confs-
Gated by the provisional government and will
be used at fund 10 meet the note issues under
Baimacedas regime.
WILL GIVE Up CRIMINALS.
The German minister has officially notified
Senior Montt that any of the refugees on GER
man ships who are accused Of any except po-
litical crimes will be given up, but that those
who are accused OF political ofienses purely
will be landed ON neutral ground. 1t is thought
that the same course will be pursued by the
American minister and Admiral Brown though
70 far as | know they have not az yet made any
| definite proposal to that effect.
The Ht3de1 correspondent Is still unable 10
! md any confirmation Of the story of the kill
ing of Balmaceda. Nobody there believes AZ.
On the contrary, il is the general opinion IN
official circles that the fugitive president IL we'll
| on has way toward Argentina and may be heard
from an that country before many days.
