JOHN BULLS BLUNDER.
The Triumph Of the Insurgents Places

Him In an Awkward Position.
LONDON, August 29.-Official dis
patches received in Berlin and Paris
confirm the announcement that the
city Of Valparaiso has been captured by
the troops of the Congressional party Of
Chile. The orderly manner in which
the Congressional forces occupied the
strategic points and the quiet prevail
ing throughout Valparaiso have been 80
marked that the admirals in command
of foreign fleets in Chilean waters have
decided that there is no need for any
Intervention on the part of the assem-
bled fleets to protect the foreign popula-
tion of Valparaiso. :
The Globe, this afternoon, comment
ing upon the capture of Valparaiso
and the consequent downfall of Balma-
ceda, says the Congressional victory has
given the Espiegle affaira much more
serious complexion, adding: "Had Bal
maceda won, no diplomatic dispute
would have followed, but England will
now have to explain what appears to be
fragrant breach of neutrality. Eng
land is answerable for her agents, and
if the Congressional party claims dam
ages. as it probably will, John Bull will
find himself with another Alabama inn
broglio of far less excusable character
on his hands. If the case is as bad
as it appears to be, the soundest policy
would be to frankly admit the blunder
and come to some friendly arrangement
about compensation. Unless we have
good defense, resort to international
arbitration is strongly to be depre-
Gated"
The Espiegle affair, referred to by the
Globe, is the outcome of the action of
the commander of H. M. s. Espiegle in
conveying a million dollars Of silver,
entrusted to him by Balmaceda, to
Montevideo, for shipment to Europe.
The silver was subsequently sent to
Europe in payment for arms, ammuni-
tion and ships supplied Balmaceda's
government. The Times and other
papers have demanded full investiga-
tion into the matter.

CONSUL FLINT STAGGERED. /
He Cannot Believe 1t Possible That Bal
maceda IL Beaten.

maceda IL Beaten.
New York, August 29.-The recently
appointed Chilean consul-general at
New York, Charles R. Flint, has always
been warm supporter of Balmaceda,
and he is unprepared to believe his chief
defeated. In an interview he said: .sTo
me it hardly seems possible, much less
probable, that President Balmaceda met
with defeat, because he had every ad-
vantage in his favor from the beginning.
His army was greatly superior in num-
bere to that OF the insurgents, and he
also had practically impregnable posi-
tion. OF course this is mere conjecture
on my part, because I am without any
information; but I believe if he has
been defeated, it was because something
happened for !, which he was not
prepared for at the outset. It has been
said more or less discomfort has existed
among his troops. and a large number
of them may probably have deserted at
the critical moment. Should they have
taken sides with the Insurgents, his
position would have been 60 weakened,
Of course, that an. easy victory over him
would have been the natural result.
That is the only reason or explanation
possible for me to offer for his defeat"
DO you think that this battle will
end the war 2"
II do not think so, unless President
Balmsceda and his principal lieutenants
are now prisoners in the hands Of the
insurgents. II that proves to be the
case, the trouble will end where it is.
But if the president succeeds in reach
ing Santiago where he has another
large force Of troops, the situation will
be somewhat different.
The consul-general states that Balrna-
ceda will now concentrate his forces
about Santiago, and if he has prestige
enough to recall his troops to his stand
ard, he will still have the larger army.
At Santiago the rebel feet will be Of no
value, and the government would still
have the advantage. He has since the
9th received no advices from Santiago.

house is in condition to proceed to bust

ment that will. if adopted, permit any

measure he has in view is in

prevails to great extent in the
Northwest. He proposes to compel the
sale of all property under United States
court processes in the county where
the property is sold, and causing the
advertising of the same to be likewise
made III the county. Ittrequently hap
pens. says Mr.. Bryan, that property is
advertised and sold many hundred

Another measure he proposes to push
to passage, if he can, is one providing
that when a certain amount has been

Gle shall cease to be protected.

The mine operators say that the pres
ent strike is in violation of an agree
ment made by the men last spring not
to ask for an advance IN wages for one
year, and that. in view of that fact. they
will not negotiate with the strikers.
The latter say that the mine owners
took advantage Of them last spring,
when they were not prepared for

just scale. and that refusing to keep
that contract any longer than necessary

would be to turn upon highway rob-
Der whenever opportunity offered.
They declare that the miners of In

subjected to all sorts of oppression; that
their condition was little better than
