SANTIAGO Chile, Oct 15.-The stories
spread by Julio Foster, alleged Secretary
Of the Junta at Washington, relative to
Minister Egan, are regarded without any
favor by prominent officials of the victo-
rious party here. Foster, they say, is in
no way recognized by the Junta orrepre-
sents it at Washington. Senors Montt and
Navas are the only persons vested with
any authority by the new Chilean Gov
ernment
Fosters charges that Minister lEgan
tried TO have Senor Pedro Mont deliv-
cred and shot by Balmacedists are
utterly untrue. Egan, on the contrary,
escorted Montt on a special train from
this city to Valparaiso at the request Of
Months mother, and after arriving there
took him on board the French gun
boat Volta, which shortly afterward
sailed for CaIlao. Edward Matte and
