Not the least important Is tho very

the state department from recognizing

Acting Secretary Of State WhartOn's
action In Ignoring the Congressional
ENJOYS, even now when II N a rrcOg-
nlzed fact that they represent the only
government Of the country, has Ia.
creased the feeling against tho citi1ons

action In refusing 10 give up the political
refugees who have found asylum aboard
his ships, has also added 10 the general
Irritation. II Is tho general belief that

Egan IN very violent, aud there IN little

The German admiral settled the
question as to the disposition Of the
refugees, 80 far as ho ~ concerned, by
sending tho corvette "Altxandrins"
north today, presumably to CallaO,

President.elect. Admiral Oscar Well,

THE RECORDS At SANTIAGO
confirm tho statement that on August
18th President Balmacuda ordered
forty.twO young men shot 10 death.
They were charged wsth having en-.
gagged In plot to blow up railroad
bridges and thus prevent the. move
ment Of government troops. Many OF
them were mere boys Of from 10 10 rs
years OF age.
It Is charged, and from the returns
appears 10 be true, that only a small
proportion Of the cruelties perpetratei
10y the late government have been pub
lished.
