Aftsr the Battle.

Further dispatches from Chilli say:
The behavior of the insurgent troops
since their entrance into Valparaiso has
been most exemplary. Perfect discipline
has been maintained and officers and pri-
Yates have endavored to keep the unruly
element there in order. This is next to
impossible, however, as the town is
crowded with disbauded soldiers and dis
orderly characters of all kinds. Many Of
them have visited the battlehelds and
possessed themselves OF rifles and ammu-
milton. Fights and riots were OF constant
occurrence in the streets and several peo-
pie have been killed by the rioters.
Comparative order was at last restored,
but it took heroic measures to do it,
Rioters who were caught were dealt with.
and many of them were shot These
prompt measures have cooled the srdor Of
the law breakers at last but rioing was
not stopped until property estimated to be
worth 81, SOC, 900 had been destroyed.
Many acts of tyranny have been perpe-
trated here by government officials since
last January and every warship in the
bay has its quota OF refugees. This gave
rise to much dissatisfaction on the part Of
the Congressionalist leaders.
The feeling was particularly bitter
against the Americans, for Admiral
Brown had given asylum to many popular
officials on board the San Francisco and
Baltimore. Admiral Brown had long
consultation with the leaders of the Junta,
and his explanations have had the effect
of putting an end to the feeling against
the Americans. The Junta are exceeding
ly anxious TO secure recognition from the
United States government and are now
hopeful that iL will be accorded them.

Prairie Fires in South Dakota.

An Aberdeen, South Dakots, special
says: Particulars regarding the prairie
fire of last Saturday night come in very
slowly, the burnt district lying forty
miles west of this city. At Loyalton the
citizens fought the fire for eight hours,
finally succeeding in saving the town. Nc
dwellings wers burned around that point
but large quantities of grain and hay
were destroyed. One party reports he
rode twenty miles along the edge Of the
burned district and saw many people
standing around on the prairie destitute
having lost their entire possessic.s by
fire. The loss falls heavily, coming al
the close of a bountiftl harvest-the hes,
for several years.
Large quantities Of grain have been
destroyed as the strong wind swept the
ire across even the bare fields. aided by
the tumble weeds, wnich rolled like Are
balls across the prairie and fields, sertiug

no loss Of life has been reported. That
section being inaccessible by wire, full

THE work of the young men and
young women, educated at colleges
and universities, in the East End OF
London and in the poorer parts Of
New York, is very noble, self-sacrific-
ing, and will doubtless be productive
of much good fruit 1t Is great sac
rihce for refined and cultivated people
to live in tenement house district, but
the mere fact of their living there,
their mere touch with the people who
have never known anything but
squalid surroundings will quicken the
advance of men to better things. The
world moves slowly but it moves up

fed and human health has been i'm

that the universal love of life suffi-

still another reason why life is worth

Santiago surrendered on Saturday
and the Junta troops occupied the city.
AS soon as the news reached Santiago
of the overwhelming defeat of the govern
ment troops on the heights of PIaciua and
the fall of Valparaiso, and the people
knew that Balmaceda's power was gone
and they had nothing to fear from his
wrath, their enmity to his government
broke forth.
The cry was raised that the president
should be killed, and mob started for
his house. 1t grew in numbers as it went
through the streets, and by the time IT
reached the executive mansion was ripe
for any bloody deed. Short shrift would
have been allowed to the president had
he been caught.
He knew he would have little chance
for his life had he remained in Santiago.
and at the first receipt of the news of his
overwhelming defeat he hid himself and
the bloodthirsty fury of the mob was

vent in the application of the torch. Soon

Habeas corpus proceedings have

Prospective German Colonization.

The St. Louis Post Dispatch says:
The scheme to establish colonies of Ger
man immigrants in the Southern States,
which is backed up by a German syndi
cate and which was outlined some time
ago is about TO be realized. The syndi-
cate, which is made OF several bankers,
one or two members Of the Reichstag, and
at least two noblemen, desired $50, 900
acres of land in the cotton belt, and en-
tered into correspondence with General
Passenger Agent Eberlee of the Mobile S
Ohio railroad, with view to purchasing
railroad lands.
The correspondence has progressed so
far that committee will go to Alabama
and inspect the lands which the company
has for sale. The secretary Of the syn
dictate writes that the first colony of
Rhenish farmers, consisting of 1000 fam
lies, will be ready to sail in short time
