wounded, who were in the morn
ing the dependence of President
Balmaceda The defeat of the govern
ment is absolute and complete. There
is no possibility of reorganization,
and if he does not succeed in making
his escape through the mountain passes
which are yet open the chances are
that he will be captured and shot.
Early in the morning straRglers from
the battlefield began to come in. AS
the day wore on they came in greater
and constantly growing numbers and
1t became apparent that the govern
ment troops were getting the worst of
it. The reports they brought in be-
CANA more alarming. Presidentelect
Vicuna took the alarm easily and went
aboard the German flagship and asked
protection Of the admiral, which was
granted.
Then the intendente, Oscar Viel, sent
q communication to Admiral Brown
and the commanding officers of the
other foreign fleets in the harbor. re-
auesting them to send men ashore
and protect their citizens, as the
Probabilities were that there
might be trouble. A leading par
ty Of blue jackets and marines
from the San Francisco was ordered
ashore by Admiral Brown and took up
q position abost the American con-
sulate- The other naval officers fol-
lowed suit, and soon there were enough
foreign warsmen ashore to protect the
city against any possible outbreak.
The streets of the city by IL o'clock
were filed with disorganized mob Of
Balmaccdan soldiers. Tho execution
among the officers has been terrific.
In addition to the two generals. Bar
bosa and Alzerecca, nearly all the staff
officers had been either killed or
wounded and the fatalities among the
officers had also been great 1t was
evident that the government had
met with an overwhelming de-
feat and an attack on the city was mo-
uentarily expected To avoid the
oloodshed which would probably have
resulted from the victorious army en-
tering the city heated with the fire Of
battle Admiral Viel, the intendente,
sent flag of truce to Gen Canto with
a proposition 70 surrender the
city. II was accepted. and Senor
Don Carlos Walker Martinez. q con-
gressional leader. who refused . safe
conduct from Balmaceda and has re-
mained in Santiago since the COM
mencement OF the revolution directing
the conduct Of affairs for them in the
south, was requested by Gen Canto 10
take possession of the city and act as
intendente until such time as perma-
nens arrangements could be made.

Just outside of the city. His raiders
had been getting bolder and bolder as
the time passed and have been making
excursions further into the country.
He had absolute control of the railroad
to Santiago and commanded the or
dinary roads Hence Santiago was
practically in a state Of siege.
Affairs had come to such q pass that
it was necessary for President Balma-
ccda to make some move, and little
after daylight Friday morning the word
was given TO attack the position held
by the revolutionists, and led by
Gems. Barbosa and Alzerecca the
government troops left their breast
works and advanced on the enemy
under cover OF a heavy fire from
their batteries. The insurgents were
generally armed with Mannlicher rifles
and used smokeless powder. The gov
ernment troops were not SO well armed.
As soon as the approaching column got
within range of the Mannlichers they
met a destructive fire from the in
trenchcd revolutionists- The Chill
ians are brave, however, whether
government troops or revolution
lists, and advanced with much
steadiness to the attack. They
were soon near enough to do effective
work with their pieces and the engage
ment became general Shot and she'll,
grape and canister and rife bullets
tore through the ranks of the advanc-
ing troops until it became too hot, and
despite the officers they broke and re-
tired almost in a panic. Officers
worked like beavers to reform their col
umns as soon as they got without the
range of the deadly Mannlichers and at
last succeeded.
Then came another attack. In steady
ranks the government troops started on
n double quick up into the torrent of
fire and lead which blazed from the
ranks of the insurgcnt army. Early
In the second charge Gen. Barbosa WAS
shot down and killed The line wsv-
cred. but kept on. Then Gen. Alzer-
coca fell from his horse, wounded unto
death. He was removed from the field
and died within an hour.
Another break and then Gen. Canto
gave the order to charge, With a wild
yell the congressionslist army left their
defenses and charged on the retreating
enemy. Their artillery poured q deadly
fire into Balmaeedas army. The loss
of their general left them without
leader. and all the efforts of
the subordinate officers To rally
then to meet the onset of
Canso's regiments and squadrons was
of no avail The retreat became a
rous. the rout panic. and then came
utter Decentralization. The government
cavalry made stand. but IL was short
They were literally cut TO pieces.

Veterans Reunion at Chicago.

We publish in another column commu-
nication urging the Confederate veteran
associations to join in the movement for q
reinion of the old soldiers of both armies
at Chicago during the Exposition.
If there Is to be reunion (about the
usefulness of which there are two opin.
ions) we say let all matters of detail be
settled in advance.
If our old boys who wore the gray are
expected to bring their tattered battle
flags let it be so understood. II it will not
be amiss for such of them as have their
Confederate uniforms to wear them, let
the fact be 30 stated.
Better that there should be an agree
ment now as to these points than that
there should be "to-do" such as follow
ed q certain reanion in Richmond. when o
number Of Federal veterans who had come
here with the express purpose of honoring
the memory of one OF our generals broke
ranks rather than join in q procession
where our battle-fags were carried.
The Columbian Fair or Chicago Expo
sition will open in May, ls9s-thirty years
after the battle Of Gettysburg. 1t ought
to be celebrated by reinited country. and
it will not be the South's fault if it fails
in this respect. But there will be lots OF
bother about this reinion, unless the CON-
mittee of Arrangements anticipates all the
questions that can DO raised by rabid rsdi.
Gals and 30 outlines programme that the
Confederate veterans will have the assn.
rance that their presence ct Chicago will be
gratifying to tho public and helpful to
the enterprise.
