FOSTER is NOT SURE.
The Insurgent Envoy Has Doubts
ola Surrender.

Ofa Surrender.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The dispatch
received here by the Chilian minister,
announcing the defeat of the insurgents
at Vina del Mar, was shown to Mr.. Fos-
ter, one of the insurgent representa-
tives, this morning, and that gentleman
was asked if he had heard anything
from his party. He replied that he had
received the following cablegram from
there late last night:
IQUIQUI Aug 26.-Notices inspired by the
dictators agents in Lima absolutely witho ut
truth. ERRAZURIz.
This, Mr.. Foster said, probably re-
ferred to the reported defeat of his
party. II do not say that the dispatch
received by the Chilian minister is not
correct" he continued hut l think
that in case the battle had been fought
on the 25th, and won by Balmaceda, he
would not have delayed so long in
spreading the news" Mr.. Foster also
took into consideration that the forces
of Balmaceda Outnumbered those of the
insurgents, but said that in case the
insurgent party was defeated it only
meant a prolongatiOn OF the war, and
that the inSurgent forces would be in
creased in every possible way, and the
dictator fought to the end.
Speaking further of the matter, Mr..
Foster said that the attempts of the
Congressional party to obtain foothold
in the country occupied by Balmaceda's
troops were very desperate and rash,
but that such course had been repeat
edly urged upon the leaders of the army
by many persons of wealth living in
Valparaiso who sympathized with the
revolutionary cause and by many others
who had been furnishing money to aid
the Congressional army.
The following cablegram was received
tonight by the Gillian representatives
of the Constitutional or insurgent party:
IQUIQUE, Aug. 27.-The Constitu
tional forces continue advancing. We
have confidence in the defeat of Balma-
ceda. Contradict the news given by the
dictator's agents. ERRAZURIZ.

the money. He says that Hammond
was a capable man in whom he had the

In the latter the captain made discov-

the captain picked up, was some of the

that company have been selling under
a recent large timber deal with the

cruisers was organized and managed

A Peruvian RAILWAY,

The Oroya road IS very remarkable
piece Of engineering work, executed
perhaps not wisely but too we'll. The
difficulties surmOunted are enormous.
The constructor. an American. Henry
Meiggs, used to say, | was told, at GER
tain arduous points, "The line has to go
there, and if we can't find road for it,
we'll hand the track from balloons
This remark illustrates the boldness
and almost reckIessness with which the
line has been built; and even now, fine
as the work is, it is in constant danger
IF destruction in many parts. Every
year sections of the line. bridges and
yiaducts are swept away by floods and
landslides which cannot he foreseen. A
water spout bursts on mountain peak,
M immense volume of wates mud and
powders dasIlc5 down, and half an hour
later all is calm again; but the railway
track has disappeared, or one of the
bridges will be found twisted into a
knot, half q mile away from its proper
place. For this reason the line must
always be very expensive and difficult
to keep in repair. The working of it is
also very exlen-ive Oh account Of the
high price Of coal, and the quantity
wasted by the continuous firing required
to force the train up the steep gradients.
Experiments, however. are now being
made with cheaH er fuel, in the form Of
petroleum residum from the Taara
wells. As it is, the locomotives have
twenty-two-inch cylinders, and the steam
pressure all the way has to be kept at
lao pounds to tie square inch. The
maximum train is five cars, weighing
eight tons each, and carrying ten tons
Of cargo; and in order to drag this
weight from Lima to Chlc'a. the loco
motive burns seven tons of frst-class
English coal. The maximum gradients
are per cent, and the maximum curves
100 metres radius. This radius is found
in all the tunnels, of which there are
forty between Lima and Chicla, the
longest measuring 296 metres. The
number of bridges is sixteen, the long
est being the Nerrugas viaduct, now
destroyed. The total distance from
Callao to Chicla. whore the rails end, is
eighty-six and one-half miles. -Hda'-

A Prairio Grave

, A heaving emerald sea that merges,
at its edge, into blue ocean of sky. A
range Of low hills fringes the plain at
The northwest and at no other point of
The compass is there al object to relieve
the eye.
A traveller sees the same dreary
stretch Of grass through which he has
passed for miles; he feels the same hot
wind upon his tired check; he hears the

ducks splash in the wild rice of some
marsh or Slough everything is re-
petition OF sights and sounds that have
made themselves distasteful by famili-
arity. Monotony and Solitude are the
twin deitles that reign supreme.
The central object of q scene like this
an object that broke upon my eyes
after q long days Journey and filled NE
with q sudden solemn awe-was a
grave. prairie grave. 4 rude fence
was built around it and some wild roses
broke into blossom and peeped from
he rank grass that covered the mound.
There was 10 headboard-no word had
been left to identity the dead-the dead
that now Law in solitary waste where
the silence was so terrible as almost to
sneak of itsolf-the dead that had once
been the living aud had moved in
spheres of life.
Perhaps the dwcllcr Of that lonely
tomb was o man who had loved and
been loved. Death had parted him
from his idol and now, when his legal
heart was low, he had been inferred i'll
al isolated wild Where never q loved
one could bend over lis mound and dlop
the mourner's tear. Perhaps some one
was grieving, in an Eastern home, for
one who had left it, never to return.
Perhaps fair faces were aging while
fond hearts hoped against hope that
lover, Il son, OF brother would return.
And this forsaken grave, if they could
but see it and know its occupant, would
tell them all
shudGerol and turned away.
But then, I n.asseA in after thought,
what cares tie dead how lie his wasting
bones? And those lie ieayes-may they
not hope and hope and only awake to
the truth when they meet the lost one
face to face in that country from whose
bourne no Traveller returns?"
A human heart is nothing if not hope
full, and what can be more satisfying
and sweet than a divine fultilment Of
hopes we cherish here ?-LTee Press.
