 NEW YORK, Sept 6.-The Herald's San tiago special says: The Junta de Gobierno Is busily engaged in recognizing the pub
 lie service An order was issued to-day reinstating all the judges, and court em- ployes who were dismissed by Balmaceda. His appointees were of course busted.
 Other changes will be made as rapidly as possible until the entire civil service is thoroughly in sympathy with the new government.
 When the papers in the desk of Balma- ceda's minister of foreign affairs, Senor Godoy, were examined to-day cable dis patch was found, dated Berlin, August 12, informing him that the German govern ment had decided to recognize the right of the congressionalists. This news Minister Godoy has taken care to suppress.
 United States Minister Patrick Egan has received letter from the state department at Washington approving his action in en- deavering to bring about a cessation of hostilities in Chilli.
 am assured on the highest authority that the story that arms were shipped to Iquique on the steamer Montserrat is un- true.
 I can also testify that there was not a single Lee rife in the hands of the con gressionalist soldiers. The rifles which it was alleged had been transferred from the Itata to the Esmeralds were of this Iyo oY,I fha foot fho{ of {hay, held by General Csnto's army disproves that story also. 01S
 A conference was held to-day between the junta and leading merchants and bankers relative to the recognition by the new government of the note issues or dered by Balmaceda during the past six months.
 Just what points were considered and what conclusions were reached are not yet known. It is generally believed, however, that action satisfactory to all concerned will be decided upon.
 NEW YORK, Sept. GA special from Valparaiso to the Herald says: The Ger man minister to Chili and the German ad- miral commanding the German fleet at Valparaiso are at odds over the disposition of the political refugees who are now in asylum aboard the German cruiser Sophie.
 The minister notified the admiral yes terdsy that he might be required to sur render to the officials representing the Junta Senor Claudio Vicuna, who was to have succeeded Balmaceda as president; Oscar Viel, late intendente of Val paraiso, and Captian Alberto Fuentes, late captain of the torpedero Almirante Lynch. The admiral bluntly informed the minister that he would do no such thing unless spe- officially ordered to do so by the emperor or Chancellor Won Caprivi. The minister did not insist.
 As soon as the conference had ended the admiral sent cable dispatch to Elm peror William, explaining the situation and announcing that unless he received orders to the contrary the Sophie, with the refugees on board, would proceed to- morrow to Mollendo, Peru, the nearest neutral port, where the people wanted by the junta would be landed. Later in the day reply was received from Berlin ap- proving the action of the admiral and granting him permission to send the refu- gees to Mollendo The Sophie will sail to- morning early.
 The stories of riot at Coquimbo were without foundation. Word was received from there to-day that the congressional officials had taken possession of that city and Sarsus without any disturbance, and that order has been maintained through out.
 Before the arrival of the new officials Colonel Corvallo, commanding the govern ment forces in that section. and the Bal macedist intendente of Coquimbo, Senor Sanchez, went aboard the British war ship and asked Captain Psrr, her commander, for protection. It was readily granted.
 The government troops at Coquimbo and Serena were disbanded as Soon as the con- gressionalists took charge, and nearly all of them have gone to their homes.
 The armed transport Aconcagua has been ordered south to meet the ship bring ing the arms and field guns ordered by the lunta in Europe.
