AEFAIRs IN CHILE.
SAN DIEGO, Aug. SIN conver-
sation with an officer Of the United
States man Of war, Pensacola, yes
terday, considerable bleinformation was
obtained as to the cause of the
Chilean trouble. He said: "The
constitution of Chile Is the real
cause of the war. There Is no power
10 punish the president for miscon-
duct. He can't be impeached and
he can't be prosecuted. When he
accepts the Office he takes an oatl
not to leave the country for one yea
after the expiration of his term
This makes II necessary for him a
the end of the regular term Of fiv'
years TO nominate his own successor
who agrees to defend him. Hi
nominee is always elected, even
people have to be thrown into jai
80 the election can be carried. Ii
this way, Balmaceda has just noml
mated and elected one of his forme
cabinet officers named Vicuna
AT one time the colonel had hi
regiment drawn up. He rode on
and informed the men that th'
next morning they would start OF
u two days march, and then hav'
an engagement with the congres
sional army. If there Is any reason
why any OF you do not want to go,
slip out of the ranks and say so. :"
He concluded: "Seven Of the poor
devils stepped out aud said they did
not want to go. Those seven were
straightway backed up against a
brick wall and shot. Chile is q good
country TO keep away from right
now"
