By Cable.
VALPARAISO, Nov. "a. 1t was
announced to-day that all Balma-
ceda's former ministers were to be
prosecuted and that some startling
disclosures may be expected when
the public ventilation of their affairs
is made. The ministers were all
indicted to-day and their trials will
be pushed at the earliest possible
moment.
The indictments brought in to-
day are said to have been the result
directly or indirectly ofthe prelimi-
nary examinations to which Senor
Encina was subjected. The latter is
sued for the sum Of $40, 100000, the
amount ofnotes issued by Balmacedas
congress, and which has since been
declared illegal by the new govern
ment. The fact that these indict-
ments will be pressed to the bitter
end seemed to denote that some
wholesale confscations of property
may be made, temporarily at least,
in the near future. In spite of the
decision of Congress to do every
: thing possible to place Chilian
finances upon firm basis and the
fact that considerable 1etrenchment
and economies are necessary it has
been decided to day officially to de.
: vote the sum of 100000 to provide
: for Cbili's representation at the
Chicago fair in 1898. There is q
2 marked reaction, as this action just
0 taken will show, in favor of the T.
e S. This may or may not be
> caused by the fact that it is an &C
r acknowledgement of the fact that the
Chilian authorities having the Bal
= timore's sailors grievances in course
It Of investigation, are weakening con
IS siderably. Though the official re
IS suit OF the investigation has not ye
become known, enough has Leaked
out to show that the high stand a
first taken by the police and othel
officials has dwindled down into
very much more common-sens
le frame of mind. 1t is reported herr
r. in this connection that this chang
n. of mind is to a considerable exten
Il. due to SOLDERING advice which tn
r. Chilian government has received
,e semi-officially from the representa-
i'll tives here of the European powers
ze The Chilians, there is no doubt, a
a one time counted on being supporte
in the ground they took b
the British minister, and perhaE
by the British government. Their
may or may not have been at an
time foundation for such a belle
ry but it is safe to say that the Chiliar
ly have been thoroughly convince
nd that they will have to rely on then
nd selves alone should they cause an
OK further trouble to the United State
ell This assurance and the repor
er which have reached here of extel
'es sive naval preparations being mao
uf- by the United States, have consi
on erably dampened the warlike ard'
,ut of this city and of Santiago, and
ch is probable that compr
mise report doing justice to Il
Baltimore's men and incidental
to the United States will be SOC
rendered and now another mo
important question has cropped u
"a. 1t is reported here in official circle
RS that whatever the result of t
ON Baltimore inquiry may be, t
ort United States will demand an
ted demnity of Chill for the families
ars the men killed and for the expen
ave the government has been put to I
mo armaments, etc. made necessary
