NEW YORK, Sept. "a special to The
Herald from Valparaiso, dated Sept. l.,
says:
They Hate Us.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
there is very bitter feeling against the
Americans on the part of the successful
revolutionists. This feeling is 80 strong
that unless it is placated in some way it
may seriously affect American CONNER
cial interests in Chill for some time.
Government Troops Revolt
Exciting news is brought to-day from
the south by the straits steamer which
came up from Talcahuano. The two
regiments of government troops which
were taken to that port recently from
Coquimbo by the transport Imperiale, re-
volted when they heard of the defeat of
the Balmacedists at Placilla last Friday.
They shot to death all of their officers
and disbanded. Nearly 1000 coal min
ers joined them, and together they have
practically taken possession of the town
Of Coronel, on the coast about twenty
five miles south of Conception. All sorts
of excesses have been committed by
them. Houses and stores have been
sacked and burned. The slightest pro-
test against their actions is met by rifle
shots. Women have been abused and
subjected to brutalities of the most re-
voting character.
Mob Rule Prevails.
In fact, mob rule in its worst form
prevails. Some outrages have been
committed also in Conception and Tai
cahuano, but the force at the disposal Of
the authorities there have been suffi-
cient to save them from the fate which
has overtaken the 5000 people of Cor
onel.
AS soon as the news was received here
this morning the German warship Sophie
and the British gunboat Daphne were
ordered at once to Coronel and protect
the interests of foreign residents there.
The government officials here have also
taken steps to beat the mob into subjec-
ton.
Government to BE Reorganized.
Senior George Montt, General Canto
and others of the congressional chiefs ar
rived in Santiago this morning. They
were received with thr greatest enthu-
siasm by the people of the capital. Gen
eral Basquedano, the acting president,
received them officially. The other
members of the junta are expected to
arrive here from Iquique tomorrow.
They will at once proceed to Santiago,
when the question of new election and
the reorganization of the government
will be considered.
The torpedo boat Almirante Lynch
and the cruiser Esmeralda returned to-
day from an unsuccessful search for the
Almirante Condell and the transport
Imperiale. Nothing has been heard
from these vessels since they left
Coquimbo.
Order Fully Restored.
Order has been restored in Santiago
and Valparaiso The mobs have been
gotten under control in those cities, and
there is no likelihood of the authorities
being unable to preserve peace from this
out.
Business Resumed.
Mercantile establishments have been
reopened in this city and the business
section is gradually resuming its Gus
tomary appearance. Exchange is stead
lily rising.
Ba1maceda Not Heard OF.
Nothing has been heard here of Presi-
dent Balmaceda since he was reported |
with his family and valuables at Los
Andes.
