INSIDE FACTS FROM CHILL.
Movements Of the New Party Since Il
Came Into Power.
DEEP HATRED FOR MINISTER EAGAN.
A Significant Postscript In Ono OF Balma-
ceda's Last Letters-Senor Ficuna
in Washington.

New YORK, Nov. 6.-Senor Don Euardc
Matte, q member of the Chilian Congress. in
letter from Santiago, dated October 5th. to
friend in this city, sends an account Of the
affairs which have occurred in that republic
since the Congressionalist party came into
power. Senior Matte in his letter says; After
Balmaceda's death it was found that the de-
ceased President loft four letters-one each
for his wife and mother, one for a friend
(whose name could not he ascer-
tanned, but who is believed to be
the president OF the Balmacedaist
party) and the fourth for Senior Uriburri. one
of Balmacedas most intimate friends. who,
by the way. is Minister TO Chill from the Ar
gentine Republic. In the letter there is a
very significant postscript, which reads as
follows:
"P. 81 count upon it. in all events that
you fulfill the secret charge Of honor that
entrusted you with last night for the persons
of whom you know"
WHAT IL REFERS TO.
The postscript has been pretty we'll looked
into, and il is now ascertained that il refers
TO certain money matters which Balmaoeda
was negotiating through the Argentine Min
ister One of these matters concerns the mil
lion dollars in specie sent to England via the
Argentine Republic IN the English man-ot-
war. The other matters will be made clear
later on.
This much can be said, however. that the
Argentine Government has been communi-
Gated with and requested 10 remove Senior
Driburri from the Gillian mission. 1t is be-
heyed here that either Uriburri or the Argen-
tine Government will make q demand in Eng
land for the money that Balmaceda sent
there. Time will show, however what will
actually be done All the foreign powers
represented at Santiago have been very
friendly towards the Congressionalists and
Junta except Argentine. England and the
United States. especially the latter.
SENIOR" EGAN DIsrRUsTED.
The entire Junta views United States Min
lister Egan with marked distrust, and though
no very loud words are spoken. ansthemas
low and mutterings deep-far above whis-
per-are launched upon his head by Chilans
of both parties-the Congressionalists because
OF "Senor" Egan's fayortism and partiality
to Balmacedas cause instead Of remaining
neutral, as he should have done, and the Bal
because he ill-advsed Balmaceda
and buoyed him up with false hopes
Of victory, thus prolonging the strife
blood to be shed. He will be served the
same way as Argentine's representative, by
having his recall demanded. and il is not say
ing too much to remark that Egan and his
actions arc not doing his countrymen
any good in Chill. This sentiment among
the Chilians is growing more universal and
stronger each day; and now that the calm and
cool deliberation that succeeds the battles
ray pTedominates. fresh FIRE is apt 10 be en-
5endered and new complications may arise"
WASHINGTON. ID. O., Nov. 5.-The State
Department has received no news from Chill
md it cannot confirm the cable dispatch an
louncing the election Of Senor Montt to the
presidency Of that country.
THE ExnED PRESIDENT HERE.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Nov. 5.-Senor Vicuna.
he exiled President-elect of Chill. is at the
accompanied by his family and by
Minister to Peru. He has been
L the city for two days, but his identity was
lot known.
He has received no recognition as the visit
ng executive of a foreign country, and has
cen neither the President nor Secretary
Blaine. Neither has the Chilian legation |
1tended any recognition. He does not |
peak English. and has therefore, tenn |
orarily escaped the interyiewers here. |
t is understood that he regards the |
ewly formed Government as unstable. and |
hat he is looking for restoration of the old |
egime which would established him as Presi-
ent, to which Office he was elected to succeed |
but was never inaugurated 1t is
AID that the object of his visit is to sound his
riends on the subject of restoration and by |
bseryaton what would be the attitude Of
ais country towards him. should there be
ostilities between this country and Chilli
10 probably has hopes that should the new
government provoke the United States 70
ar. he might have his rights Acknowledged
nd yet be president of Chill.
New ORLEANS, La, Nov. 5.-Minister
omit. of Chill, still declines to be inter
ewed. He went TO the ship landing to-day
, meet his wife and the members of the
lillian legation. The latter will probably
ave for WASHINGTON TOMORROW.
