BALMACEDA's IRON RULE.
The World quotes Sci OF MOnti as saying:
"ln The southern portion of the State which
Balmaceda and party hold by force, both
the constitution and laws are utterly ignored.
Many hundreds of the most prominent citi-
Zens have been imprisoned without warrant
in the iailS and Deuitentiaries, indScriml-
natsly with the worst convicts, for nearly
five months. The courts ordered them to
be set at liberty, but Balmaceda not only
ordered the courts not TO discharge their
duty, but when they persisted in their rights
prevented them from conyening by StatiOning
policemen at the doors of the courtrOoms and
threatening the Judges of the Supreme aud
Appellate courts with arrest in case they
should attempt 10 enter. BY Il decree of
Balmaceda the property oil more than nifty
eminent citizens has been cOuiScaled. No
citizen Of Chile is allowed 10 leave tie couu-
try without PERMISSION from Balmaceda.
Every ship and steamer in Valparaiso and
other ports is searched, and If any ore is
found trying 10 get away he IS Immediately
sent to prison. The most cruel tortures,
such as were practiced during the Spanish
iuquisiti0n, have been inflicted indiscrimi-
nately upon unUifeHding citizens. Ii none Of
our plans mis3arry We look for absolute
success for our party within the next TWO
