WsslilSa.oS, Aug. 3o.-The official
news OF the Insurgens victory in Chill
ci.blel to the state department by the
United States consul ct Valparaiso set
ties beyond Doubt TIE conflicting reports
Of the past few days concerning the con-
dition OF Affairs ut the seat Of war. Tho
receipt of dispatches from Valparaiso
telling of the victory for Bulmacada is
explained by state and navy depart
| iaent officials as resulting from Balma-
cada's control Of the cable line from
that city. Doubt as to the absolute
authenticity of these dispatches was
expressed in official circles for tho
a part of diplomatic etiquette in fact,
portant dispatch from his government
that is given part for publication, it is
sent at once to the state depart
1nent for the information OF this gov
ernincnt. This was not done, and as
result, the department officials and the
members OF the diplomatic corps now
i'll town liscredit the stories and are ILL
clined to the Ielief that there was moth

Consul McCrcnry's dispatch it would
seem that this belief is correct. Senior
Lascano, the Chilian minister was told
OF the contents of McCreary's dispatch
by the United Press, but he sent back
word that hc had nothing to say. The
following eanlegram was received by
the Cong gressional ENJOYS here:
