Balmaceda's Defeat Officially Confirmed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-Oficial confirma-
ton of Balmaceda's fall reached the state
department and navy department this
morning. Acting Secretary Wharton re-
celved the following cablegram, dated
august ~, $3.50 p. m. "Balmaceda has
turned over the government to Baquedano,
and fed. Canto goes to Santiago tonight
TO assume control until the arrival of the
junta from Iquique. There is good order
here. (Slgned) MCCREERY,
Consul"
Acting Secretary Solely also received the
following cablegram from Admiral Brown.
dated Valparaiso, August 30: THE presi-
dent OF Chill has surrendered the govern
ment TO the Gillian General Baouedano
and he has left Santiago. Valparaiso is
well organized. Foreign forces has re-
embarked. (Signed) BRowN.n
The above is somewhat obscure. but il
is interpreted at the department TO mean
that the police force in Valparaiso is SO
well organized as TO relieve the foreign
admlrals Of further necessity for keeping
their marines on shore duty.
There has been no news from Chill re-
celved by Minister Lascano this morning.
The minister denied himself to newspaper
reporters but sent out word to the above
effect by his servant. The Chllian Con
gresslonal ENJOYS here are also without any
news thus far to-day relating to affairs in
Chill. Although they do not expect anv
detailed news of the movements of troons
or happenings of more important events
they 90 expect brief edvices when matters
of unusual Importance occur. Senior
Montt, principal envoy, refuses to discuss
his future action towards attempting to re-
ceive recognition for the constitutional
government from the United States. When
spoken 10 about the matter to- day he said
In effect he was willing to tell what was
going on in Chilli, but that he begged to be
excused from telling what was going on in
Washington. Senior Montt expects the
iunta which left Iquique for Santiago to
reach Valparaiso in about three days. The
distance, he says, is between eight and
nine hundred miles.
