LONG LIVE CHILE!

Baimaceds Badly Eeaten-Heavy Losses
on Both sides-Great Rejoicing
Among the Alleged Rebels
lBy telegraph to the Dlspascn.l

wAsHrSerox. August 2s.--At late hour
in the afternoon a new aspect was gwen
the Chilean situation when MIR. Julio N.
Foster, who is assisting the Congressional
ENJOYS in this city. received the following
dispatch dated to-day at New York:
"Balmacedn is defeated. Valparaiso In
our power. Vice Chile.
ISigncdl TRuMpuLL'
The sender ia Richard Trumbull. one OK
the Congressional agentsIwho Is now un-
der indictment for violation OF the neu-
trality laws in connection with the equip
ment of the Itats. The dispatcn gave
great comfort to the Congressional parti,
sans here, and Mr. Foster did not attempt
to conceal his satisfaction ~,
An hout after the dispatch from MT.
Trumbull had been received the foiiowing
dispatch, addressed TO Mr.. Pedro Montt,
the principal Congressional envoy, was re-
ceiyed at the headquarters of the Congres-
sional party from the confidential agent OF
the insurgent party at Lima:
TRIUMPH COMPLETE. VALPARAISO suRBkN-
DERFD."
The absence of official information at
the departments has puzzled the offfciais.
Certainly. If decisive engagement has
taken place, it is expected that Minister
Egan or Admiral Brown would promptly
report the fact If communication IS open.
Admiral Brown is at Valparaiso and Minis
ter Egan at Santiago, through which place
cablesrams from Valparaiso must pass TO
reach Europe and the United States. or
run the risk of falling into tho hands OF
the insurgents on the Pacific coast.
The only theory advanced which u
plausible enough to find acceptance Is
that the telegraph lines. being under mill
tary control, Will not transmit cipher DIS
patches such a. would be sent by our Gov-
ernment representatives,. 1t is not pre-
sumsd, however, that If the Balmaceda
forces had achieved signal victory they
would attempt to prevent confirmation of
the news of the event from reaching this
country; so that the official judgment here
il that no decisive combat had taken place
up 10 yesterday.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, August 2S.-The
steamship Sirius arrived here yesterday
from lquique. She lett Iquique August
I'd, and at that time tho insurgents We're
sending about 5000 soldiers south. their
destination being unknown. The cable is
cut near Iquique and there is no direct
communication with that city. Among
foreign residents tho impression is that
Balmaceda will be- victorious. Mr.. Lem
nox. a passenger on the Sirius, says that
shortly after the departure of the Charles
ton and the Itata for the north the insur-
gent soldiers had large supply OF new
puns. which were supposed TO be part of
the Itata's cargo. Provisions are still very
scarce in the northern provinces. and
many people are on the verge of starva-
ton. Many young Englishmen and Ameri-
cans have been given commissions IN the
insurgent army and with their assistance
the COngraSsionalIsts are confident that
Balmaceda will be defeated.
