Fierce Fighting Expected-Feeling Against
the United States.
A special cable dispatch to the New York
Herald from Lima, Peru, says:
Advices received from Chill under date OF
August II are to the effect that tho Junta 9
transports and war ships, including the Huas-
car, Abto, Esineralda, Amazon, Bio Bia, Alini-
rante, Cochrane and Magallanes, were to have
left Calderon Angus: II with 10 900 well-armed
men. Their object is either to effect landing
In San Antonio bay and march by land upon
the southern stronghold of Balmacedn or else
attempt TO engage the forts OF Valparaiso.
Whatever course is taken by the Juntas feet q
heroe fight is expected within q few GAYS.
The feeling OF the insurgents against the
United States on account of the Itata continues
to grow in bitterness. 1t is beyond their under
standing why the vessel should be detained SO
long In California.
The government forces in and around San
tiago number l20OO.
Great interest is naturally manifested in the
movements of Balmacedas new war ships, Pinto
ana Errazuriz. 1t is rumored that attemp Is
will be made to prevent their reaching CHILEAN
waters. Danger may iurk for them in the
Islands OF the Straits of Magellan.

IL was an easier fate to march with barred breasts
than to sit in the lonely homestead awaiting the

for those who periled their lives for the cause.

A MEDAL FOR THE PBEsrDESf.
As he stopped. Mr.. Harrison was presented
with gold medal, commemorative Of the oc-
casion.
Gov. Russell next spoke in behalf of Massa-
chusetts and Gov. futile for New Hampshire.
Gen. Howard spoke with breezy humor for New
York state.
Gen. Russell A. Ager Of Michigan was the
next speaker. He was introduced as one who
married a Vermont lady, and the greater part
OF his speech was devoted to eulogy Of the
women OF Vermont The only difficulty about
raising monument in their honor said Gen.
Ager, is that the skies are not high enough.
Applause.
Hon. Redfield Proctor Secretary of War, re-
ceived great reception when he was presented.
HIS remarks were very brief and largely face
Attorney General Miller was called up and
said he had been most intensely interested in
the days exercises. He had never heard story
so well presented by vermont's peerless
orator yesterday. As to the battle of Benning-
ton, it had occurred to him that the readiness
with which the Hessians surrendered may be
taken MS a sign Of gallantry. for it was his idea
that almost anybody would surrender before
taking the chance of making Mollie Stark and
other goOd-looking women widows. Laughter. /
After leaving the banquet the President was
driven directly to the home of Gen. McCul-
Tough in North Bennington, where he was en-
tertained at dinner. The President spent the
night at Gen. McCullough's house.
