departments was comprised in the fol-
lowing telegram from Admiral Brown,
dated Valparaiso, September Sd: "Busi-
ness is fully resumed. Everything is
quiet. The Congressional committee ar
rived from Iquique yesterday, and will
go to Santiago"
Admiral Browns cablegram was COM
municated Immediately to Wharton, Act
ing Secretary of State. While Admiral
Brown is not a diplomatic representative
of the Government, his statement of facts
is taken as an addition to the official in
formation before the Department of State
to the effect that Balmacedas Govern
ment is a thing OF the past and new
regime has been established. The re-
quirements Of diplomatic practice have
been SO far met that it is probable the
State Department will now proceed to
take official cognizance of the state of
affairs in Chile as modified by Balma-
ceda's resignation and the victory of the
Congressional party.
Cablegrams have been sent to Minister
Egan, and there is reason to believe that
when he is satisfied that the Government
even though it be temporary in FORM has
been securely established in Chile he will
Immediately open official intercourse
with that Government. This step, it is
said at the department. is equivalent to
acceding the Minister to the new Gov
ernment, and as soon as such new Gov
ernment officially notifies the Depart
ment of State that it has authorized its
special envOyS to represent it regularly
in the United States DIR. Montt and his
colleagues will be recognized at the De-
partment of State.
MINISTER EGAN.
CHICAGO, Sept. 3. = A Washington
special says: 1t is given out that United
States Minister Egan has been wired to
report in Washington for a personal
statement of the condition of affairs in
Chile. That Egan has been ordered to
Washington is regarded in two lights
one is that the Administration is diSsatis-
fed with his silence during the last
three or four weeks, and the other is that,
he is to be given leave of absence antici-
patory of arbitrary action on the part of
the new Administration in Chile, which
threatens to give Minister Egan his pass
port on account of his sympathy for the
Balmaceda party.
BALMACEDA'S WHEREABOUTS.
CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 3.-The Anqzo-
american says: y prominent gentleman
in this city, well-known in the Anglo
American Colony, has received the fol-
lowing dispatch in cypher, dated Valpa-
raiso, September lst:
President Balmaceda is aboard the
Condell, and expects to disembark in
San Francisco. However, if he safely
passes the insurgents warships, he may
land in Mexico. If he does, extend him
all possible courtesieS."
Here is the first definite news regard
ing the whereabouts of Balmaceda. The
torpedo-baat Imperial and the Condell
sailed north and are TO be pursued by the
cruisers OF the Congressional army,
Whatever port the fleeing President will
make he will be protected. No warship
Will attempt his capture within marine
league of Mexico or of the United States.
If Balmaceda lands in Mexico he will re-
ceive the hospitality that the Constitution
grants to all political refugees.
HAS RECEIVED NO NEWS OF HIM.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-Mr Cation,
the Chilean Consul at this port, said this
afternoon that he had not received any
dispatch concerning the embarkation of
Balmaceda on the Condell, bound for
San Francisco. Neither did he think
that the news could be true. The Con-
deli, while a fast vessel, has such small
capacity that she could not steam from
Chile to San Francisco without stopping to
coal on the way. If she put in at any port
she would very likely be stopped. The
Esmeralda, although slower vessel than
the COndell, has sufficient coal capacity to
bring her to San Francisco, and SO could
give the Condell a sharp chase. Mr.. Cat
ton said that he did not see that there is
any reason why Balmaceda should take
any such risks as a voyage on the Con-
dell would involve.
Mr.. Cation gives no credit to the story
that Balmaceda was shot in the mount
aims by mule-driVer. The mule-driyers

arms. They are an innocent set of people,
not bent on murderous deeds. The story
would have been more probable if it had
been to the effect that Balmaceda was
killed with knife. 1t is doubtful, also,
whether Balmaceda was at tho battle
where his power was overturned. 1t was
supposed that he was at CoQuimbo before
the battle, expecting that the attack
would be made there, and it is reasonable
to suppose that when he found that an
other point had been selected he Jour
neyed over the mountains toward Val
paraiso.
THE CONDELL AND IMPERIALE SUR
RENDER.
New YORK, Sept. 3.-The Herald has
received these dispatches:
CALLAO PERU, Sept. 3.-The torpedo
boat Almirante Condell and the armed
transport Imperiale, the last of the armed
L
ceda of Chile, were formally surrendered
to the Chilean Minister here to-day, and
word Immediately sent to the Junta de
Gobierno at Santiago that the two vessels
were at their disposal. The Condell, !
under command of Captain Morago.
sailed from Valparaiso as convoy to the
fmperiale on August 2s4h, two days after
the landing of the Congressional army at |
Quintero Bay. The mission of the two |
ships was to transport troops from |
Coqulmbo TO Talcahuano. On their ar |
rival at Coquimbo they received news |
that Balmaceda had been defeated at the |
hands of the Congressionalists at Cal |
dona, and Captain Morango decided to |
suspend the transportation of troops and |
proceed to Callao, a neutral port, where |
orders could be received from the Gov |
ernment as to what course to pursue.
The Condell and Imperiale steamed |
into port this morlng, and for the first time |
heard of the defeat of the Balmacedists at |
the flight Of Balmaceda, fall |
of Santiago and the complete triumph OF |
the Junta. Captain Morago has been par
active in all operations at sea |
against the revolutionists and felt that it |
would hardly be safe for him to return to
Chile. After consultation with the Chilean |
he decided TO finally hand over
the two ships to that official as a repre-
sentative of the nation. The transfer
was made to-day and the Minister cabled |
the Junta for instructions as to what
should be done with the vessel
