VALPARAISO, Chile, Sept. z. - The
German minister to Chile and the Ger.
man admiral commanding the German
feet at Valparaiso are at odds over the
disposition Of the political refugees who
are now in an asylum aboard the Ger
man cruiser Sophie. The minister noti-
fed the admiral that he might be re.
quired TO surrender to the officials rep.
resenting the junta Senior Claudio vi.
cuna, who was to have succeeded Bal.
maceda as president; Admiral Oscar
Viel, late independents of Valparaiso,
and Captain Alberto Fuentes, late cap
tain of the torpedero Almirante Lynch.
The admiral bluntly informed the min.
lister that he would do no such thing
unless specifically ordered to do so by
the emperor or Chancellor Won Caprivi.
The minister did not insist.
Approved by the Emperor.
AS soon as the conference had ended
the admiral sent a cable dispatch to
Emperor William, explaining the sit
uatien and announcing that unless he
received orders to the contrary the
Sophie, with tie refugees ON board,
would proceed to Mollendo, Peru, the
nearest neutral port, where the people
wanted by the junta would be landed.
Later reply was received from Berlin
approving the action of the admiral
and granting him permission TO send
the refugees to Mollendo.
The United States steamer Baltimore
left for Mollendo. Peru, taking away
twenty refugees whose lives were not
safe in Chile
The stories of riot at Coquimbo were
without foundation. Word has been
received from there that the Congress
sional officials had taken possession Of
that city and Serena without any dis.
turbance, and that order had been
maintained throughout.

constituted, and 1t will send circular
detter to the powers and to all countries
appearing disposed to recognize the
present admin ration of Chile.

vice. An order has been isaued rein
stating all tho judges and court en-
ployes who were dismissed by Balma-
c5da. His appointees were of course
ousted. Other changes will be made as
rapidly as possible until the entire civil
service is thoroughly in sympathy with
Rhe new government.

~, informing him that the German
government had decided to recognize
the belligsrent rights of the Congress

had taken care to suppress.
Minister Egan's Instructions
WASHINGTON, Sept Acting Secre-
tary Wharton declines to say anything
with regard to the report that instruc-
tions have been sent to Minister Egan
to recognize the Chilean junta. 1t can
be said on the best authority, however,
that the government has not yet di-
rected Mr.. Egan to grant full and for
mai recognition to the insurgents. Some
days ago cablegram was sent him, di-
rectng him TO report as to the form and
authority of the junta, and to receive
rev Chilean leaders might have to make
to this government. No report has
since been received from Egan, but his
instructions are believed to be broad
enough to cover any emergency that
may arise. No regular formal recogni-
tion will be extended to the Chilean
government until new credentials are
supplied to our minister at Santiago.
Cur present rotations are entirely
friendly however, and Minister Egan is
N position to treat with the junta on
my issue that may arise.
Minister Egan's Denial.

correspondent at Valparaiso has had
long talk with Minister Egan, in the
course of which the minister said: 81

President Balmaceda. was accredited
to his government, and by retaining his
esteem have been enabled to effect the
escape and save the lives of many prom
inent leaders of the opposition who
were hourly in danger OF their ives."
