The Chilean Civil War

The news from Chile for the past week has
been very conflicting the dispatches being
quite contradictory. The news received By the
Chilean Minister at Washington was % the
effect that President Balmaccda's forces had
gained important victories, while representa-
tives Of the Congressional party claim to have
received advices giving their forces the best Of
the recent battles. But the United States
Consul at Valparaiso tclcgraphcd the State De-
partment, on Aug %, that in the engagement
near that city on that date. the Government
tBalmacedas) forces were badly beaten, with
heavy loss on both sides and that Valparaiso
had surrendered to the Congressional party's
forces, but was in the hands Of the Admirals
of the American, German, French, and English
fleets for good order and protection of prop
eTty. Mr.. Pedro MOUtt, the principal Con-
gresSiOual envoy 10 this country. Who lives in
Washington, received dispatch stating that
Balmaccda's forces were defeated twice on Aug.
p. After the second battle the Congressional
forces remained outside the City Of Valparaiso,
and turned tho city over to the German Ad-
miral, who mediatcly delivered the town
over TO the COngressiOEalists, who marched in
and took possession. Rear Admiral Brown,
commanding the South Pacific station, teie-
graphcd the Navy Department., on Aug. %,
that the COngressionalists had possession OF
Valparaiso, and had captured the irouclad
Lynch and three tOrpedO-boats. Balmaceda is
in hiding, and several powers are preparing 10
acknowledge the CougressiOnalists as bellige-
