Revolution in Chill.
The revolutionists In Chill seem to b.
making steady progress. Not only have thu
congressional party, as the revolutionist
call themselves, the best military leaders II
Chill, and practically all of the navy. bu
they have the moral ard financial backing Of
all but small minority Of the leading mer
| chants and business men. The L0nd0f
Times has a despatch from Santiago giving
an official version of the recent battle. From
this 1t appears that Col. Robes, who com.
| manded the government troops on the 9th
| inst, being short of provisions, rashly aban
! doned strong position on Mount Sebastopo
and with 1900 infantry, % cavalry and few
guns attacked force Of 25oO rebels. AT
| critical moment the enemy, by decOy ii uce
Of par'ey, opened fearful fire at close quar-.
tiers, killing one or twO-thirds of the govern
ment troops. Col. Robes was shot In the
foot early In the engagement. He sought
another mound after the bullet had been ex-
tracted from his wound, but he was again
wounded in the side, and was placed in an
ambulance. The rebels captured the am-
bulance and their leader threatened 10 shoot
all who were with the wounded man unless
Col. Robes was indicated to him. An at
tendant pointed out Col. Robes. whereupon
the colonel was fired at by the rebels, being
riddled with IL bullets, besides being hacked
with bayoneIs and lndescribably mutilated.
A general massacre of wounded officers en-
sued. or the wounded men 264 were allowed
to proceed to VALPARAISO, but permission was
refused to send the body of COL Robes TO
there The loss OF the insurgents Is es-
tlmated at 800 killed, 400 wounded. Their
account of the battle cannot be procured at
present. President Balnaceda admits the
gravity VI the disaster, which places the
province of Tarapaca entirely in the hands
of the Insurgents. The president says, how.
ever. that the government has 10000 troops
ample supply of funds. The future scene
OF operations will probably be nearer. Val.
