NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The Herald
this morning publishes this dispatch:
VALPARAISO, Sept. 1.-Exciting news
is being brought to-day from the south
by the straits steamer which came up
from Talcahuana. The two regiments
of government troops which were taken
to that port recently from Coquimbo by
the transport lmperiale revolted when
they heard of the defeat of the Balma-
cedists at Placilla last Friday. They
shot to death all of their Off
GERS and disbanded. Nearly 400
coal miners joined them, and together
of the town OF C0ronel, on the
coast about twenty-five miles south
of Conception. All sorts of ex-
cesses have been committed by
them. Houses and stores have
been sacked and burned. The slightest
protest against their actions is met by
rifle shots. Women have been abused
and subjected to brutallties of the most
revolving character. In fact
Mob Rule in Its Worst Form
prevails. Some outrages have been
committed also in Conception and Tala-
huano, but the force at the disposal
of the authorities there has been
sufficient to save them from
the fate which has overtaken
the 5000 people of Coronel.
AS soon as the news was received here
this morning the German warship
Sophie and the British gunboat Daphne
were ordered to go at once to Corona
and protect the interests of foreign
residents. The government officials
here also have taken steps to beat the
mob into subsection.
Senior George Montt, Gen. Canto and
others of the congressional chiefs ar
rived in Santiago this morning. They
were received with the greatest enthu-
siasm by the people. Gen. Baqucdine.t the
acting president, received them officially
There is no Disgusting the fact that
there is very bitter feeling against
the Americans on the part OF the sue
cessful revoutionists. This feeling is
SO strong that unless it is placated in
some way it will affect American COM
peTeial interests for some time. The
Capture of the Itata
n ,ued the impression that the United
States was very much against the cause
of the revolutioniSts. Then other things
have served to strengthen the feeling
against the United States. Not the
least among them is the belief that Min
lister Egan has been an active partisan of
Balmaceda and has used his influence
in preventing the state department
from recognizing the belligerent rights
of the insurgents. Acting Secretary of
ing Seniors Montt and Foster, the
ENJOYS of the Congressionalists, even
now, when it is a recognized fact that
they represent the only government Of
the country, has increased the feeling
against citizens of the United States.
Admiral Browns action in refusing
TO give up the political refu-
gees who have found an asylum on
board his ships, has also added to the
general irritation. 1t is the general be-
lief that Admiral Brown is acting under
instructions or on the advice of Minis
ter Egan. The feeling against Minis
ter Egan is very bitter, and there is no
doubt but that his recall will be de-
manded.
New YORK, Sept. "A morning pa
per prints this from Iquique: A report
reached this city yesterday from Santi-
ago that Balmaceda, eX-dictatOr of
Chill, has been killed in the mountains
while trying to effect his escape.
8 PARIS, sept. IA retired English
officer has received dispatch from Bal
