NEW YORK, Aug. S1.-The Herald's spe-
cal cable adviees from Valparaiso say:
General Baquedano has been recognized as
President ad interim of the republic by the
members of the Junta here. The Govern
ment troops at Conception, Talcahuano and
other places have notified the CongressOn-
Rlist authorities that they have finished
fighting, and are ready to obey orders from
the Junta, and only Coquimbo promises to
make trouble. All that remains to be done
now is to put down the sporadic cases Of
disorder, bring to trial such Of the Balma-
cedist officials as have been guilty of out
rageous acts of tyranny, and prepare for
the elections which will again give the re-
public an unquestioned constitutional gov

In an interview with ex-Mlnister Godoy.
Balmaceda's closest adviser, and also with
Balmaceda's brother, they say that through
out the entire period since the outbreak Of
the revolution Bslmaceda has depended
upon the representations of his army Off
cials that his force was loyal and devoted to
his cause. Believing this Balmaceda con-
cluded to continue the resistance. Had he
thought otherwise be would have resigned
rather than have been the cause of unneces-
sary bloOdshed.
Senior GOdoy thinks Bamaceda has es-
capped to Busnos Ayres. He left Santiago,
according to news received by Senior Godoy'
on Saturday morning with six carriages
containing his family and valuables. Rela-
tive to Minister Egan, Senior Godoy emphat-
ieally declares that every interview held
by him with Balmaeeda was entirely con-
fined to the question of commercial reei-
procity between the United States and
Chile.
Several prominent Government officials
will be shot tomorrow, after a trial by mar
tial law. Referring to the silver shipment,
Senior Godoy says Balmaceda bought the
Italian steamer Aquila at Montevideo. The
owner required cash. The United States
Navy Department refused to allow the Bal
timOre to carry the money for him. The
British Minister Mennedy obtained permis-
sion for the EsDiegle to convey the same to
an English bank at Montevideo. The
steamer was bought for e140, COO, of which
Sec, 900 was to be used to furnish fixtures
and guns. The Aquila was to be fitted out
for cruiser. The bullion has gone to En-
gland.

The presence of political refugees on board
the American and German war-ships has
been the cause of several conferences and
much ill-feeling.
a formal demand for the surrender of the
refugees was made yesterday on the United
States and German Admirals. After con-
ference the naval officers informed the In
tendente that they would decline to surren-
der the men unless proper guarantees were
given that their lives would be safe until
they had fair trial Acting Secretary Of
State Wharton's action in still refusing to
recognize the Junta, now that it is prac
tically the only Government in Chile, is the
subject Of much adverse criticism here, and
it is openly hinted that there must be more
reasons for it than appear on the surface.
