How Affairs Looked when the Sirius Left
lQuique.
San DIEGO, CAL, August 2s.-The steamship
Sirius arrived here yesterday from Iquique.
She left lquique August 2. At that time the
insurgents were 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 the
foreign residents the impression is that Balma-
ceda will be victorious. Mr.. Lennox, q passen-
ger on the Sirius, says that shortly after the
departure OF the Charleston and Itata for the
north the i1surgent soldiers had large supply
OF new guns, which were supposed to be part
OF the ltatas cargo. Provisions are still very
scarce in the northern provinces and many
people are on the verge of starvation. Many
young Englishmen and Americans have been
given Commissions in the insurgent army and
with their assistance the congressionalists are
confident Balmaceda will be defeated.

it was ascertained from papers found in the

body. tight cord around the girls neck
showed that she had been strangled. There
were no signs Of a struggle and everything in
