late president II his flight over the
mountains, but sharp lookout was

doubt that Balmaceda is making his
way over the Andes. through the south
pass. Elaborate preparations are being
made for the reception OF the members
OF the Junts, who will arrive here to-
night. Many bodies Of the dead, which
have been lying on the battle field near
