auedano has been recognized as presi-
dent ad interim of the republic by the
members of the junta. The government
troops at Conception, TaIahuann and
Dther plnces have notified the Congress
sionalist authorities that they have fin
lshed fighting ana are ready to obey
orders from the iunta, and only
COquimbo promises to make any
trouble. All that remains to be
done now is to put down the
sporadic cases of disorder, bring to trial
such of the Balmacedist officials as have
been guilty of outrages and acts of tyr
amy, and prepare for the elections,
which will again give the republic an
unquestioned constitutional govern
ment.
have just had an interview with eX-
Minister Godroy. Balmaceda's closest
adviser, and also with Balmaceda's
brother. They say that throughout the
entire period since the outbreak of the
revolution Balmaceda has depended on
the operation of the army and that the
force was loyal to his cause. Believing
this, Balmaceda concluded to continue
resistance. Had he thought otherwise,
he would have resigned rather than
have been the cause Of unnecessary
bloodshed. Senior Godoy thinks that

tanning his family and valuabies.
Relative to Minister Egan, Senior

afternoon by martial law. Referring
to the silver shipment. Senior Godoy
says that BaImaceda bought The Italian
steamer Aquila at Montevideo. The
overs required cash. The United
States navy department refused to al
low the Baltimore to carry the bullion.
British Minister Kennedy obtained per-
mission for the EspiegIe to convey the
same to an English bank at MontevideO.
The steamer was bought for 9140,000,
of which 100000 was to be used to furn-
ish the fixtures and guns. The Aquila
was to be fitted out for a cruiser. The

Balmaceda's officials at Coquimbo
have cut the English cable there and
have refused 10 surrender, but will

Lynch, goes to CoQuimbo tonight.
Transports with troops will follow.
The Refugees.
The first, and, so far, the only eXecu-
ton occurred here to-day, when one
Balmaceda SympathIZer was shot. The
presence of refugees on board of the
American and German warships has
been the cause of several conferences
and much feeling. Among the proml-
nent of those who have sought asylum
are Don Claudio Vicuna, who was
selected to succeed Bamaceda as
president; Seniors Banadinos, eX-min-
lister of war; EsquinOsa, eX-minister of
state and foreign affairs; Perez Montt,
ex-minister of justice, and Oscae Viel.
eX-intente of Valparaiso. A formal
demand for their surrender was made
yesterday on Admiral Brown and the
German admiral by Intendente Joaquin
Walker MARTINEZ.
After consultation, the two naval
officers. informed Senior Walker
Martinez that they would de-
cline to surrender the men
unless proper guarantees were given
that their lives would be safe until
they had had a fair trial. They
were then requested to furnish list of
all the men who had sought refuge
on the warShips so that the proper
officials could decide which should re-
ceive the guarantee. This list was fur
nished.
AT conference last night between
the admirals and the refugees, the
former promised that all of them
who were not guaranteed proper treat
ment would be put aboard steamer and
sent direct to Peru. Arrangements have
been made for conference between
the admirals and Congressionalists lead
ers to finally dispose of the refu-
gees. 1t is thought that the plan
will be to send them to Peru. The
French admiral refused to harbor any
of the refugees. Acting Secretaries
of State Wharton in not refusing to
recognize the Junta is the subject of
much comment here, and it is openly
asserted that there must be more rea-
sons Tor it than appear on the face.
The elections cannot be held for at
least month. Notice has been served
by the provisional government on the
drawer of 5000, 900 worth of drafts, re-
Gently purchased by Balmaceda, to stop
payment on them.
