| Peru. Torpedo boat Almirante Condell and
armed transport Imperial, the last armed
| forces loyal to the late President Balma-
/ ceda of Chile. formally surrendered to the
| Chilean minister here today and word was
| Immediately sent to the iunta de
Babierno at Santiago that two ves-
sells were ut their disposition.
The Condell, under command of Captain
| Morago, sailed for Valparaiso as a convoy
| to the Imperial August "a, two days after
| the landing of the insurgent army at
| Quintero bay. The mission of the two
| ships was to transport the
troops from Coquimbo to Talcahuano.
On their arrival at Coquimbo they
received the news that Balmaceda had
! been defeated at the hands of the congress
sionalists at Concon and Captain Morago
decided to transport the troops and pro-
ceed 20 Callao, neutral port, where or
ders could be received from the govern
ment as to what course to pursue. The
Condel and the Imperial steamed
into port this morning and
for the first time heard of the de-
feat of Balmaceda at Valpa-a also, the fight
, of Balmaceda, the fall of Santiago and the
complete triumph of the iunta. Captain
Morago had been particularly active in all
lists, and felt it would hardly be safe for
him to return to Chile. After consuIta-
ton with the Chilean minister be decided
formally to hand over the two ships to that
official as a representative of the nation. The
transfer was made today, and the minister
cabled the junta for instructions as TO
what should be done with the vessels.
Last evening, with Senior Silva, vice
B lros, ex-speaker of the House of
Representatives, who with Senior
Montt comprise the junta de Bobie.no,
Senior Errazuriz, provisional minister of
foreign affairs, and other prominent con-
eressional leaders went aboard. They
were received in style and with great en-
thusiasm. The British war-ship Cham
pion dressed the ship and manned the
yards as the Acquipa entered the bay.
Tie national salute was fired from
the forts and at their landing
the officials were greeted with music,
fireworks and parade. The question of
the disposition of the refugees has been
definitely settled aud tomorrow the United
States steamer Baltimore and the German
| man-of-war will leave for Peru with all
the refugees aboard Admiral Browns
flagship, the San Francisco. Last
night the question as to who
should and should not receive guarantees
was discussed. The German and Amer
ican admirals worked through their re-
spective ministers at Santiago, and were
informed by them that the junta would
under no circumstances give any guar
sntees as TO the recent presi-
dent-elect, Claudio Vicuna, Senior
BGrados, Oscar Viel Godoy, Per'z, Montt,
Captain Fuentes. Senor Sala or Colonel
Pauloja. The cases of the others were
kept under advlsemrn Mt until this morning,
when the admirals were informed that no
guarantees would be given at all.
1t was then decided to send two men-of-
war with refugees to the North American
and German ships. They are closely
watched day and night by the authorities,
and this may have given rise to the talk
in foreign circles that an effort will be
made TO prevent the sailing of the Bait
more and German ships and to take
the refugees away from them
by force. There is really no reason as far as
| can learn. to believe that any such step
is in contemplation. All newspaper sup
porters of the late government are marked
men and Will have TO leave the country if
they can. This Is particularly the case in
regard TO Major Herrera, who was in
tendant paymaster and editor ofthe Boleon.
and Senior Lowenstein. They will probably
be shot in short order if they are found.
Senors Silva and Luca of the iunta and
other cong essional leaders left for Santi-
ago this morning.
New YORK, Sept. 3.-The HeraEd's VAL
paraiso cable says: ''In accordance with
instructions l have investigated the report
that the late President Balmaceda had
been killed by one of the men who are
crossing the mountains with him. No
such report has been heard here so far as
/ can ascertain.
The steamer Acquips has arrived at VAL
paraiso from IquiqGe.
WASHINGTON CRY, Sept. 3.-Admiral
Browns cablegram 10 the navy depart
ment, received this morning, announcing
the complete success of the jun:a, wss
communicated Immediately TO Wharton,
acting secretary of state. and while Ad-
miral Brown is not the diplomatic repre-
sentative of the United States gov
ernment, his statement of the facts
is taken as an additional informa-
ton before the department of state
10 the effect that Balmaceda's government
is a thing of the past and that new
regime has been established. Require
ments of diplomatic practice have been so
far met. and it is probable that the state
department will now proceed TO take cog
pizance of the state affairs of Chile as
modified by Baimaceda's resigna-
ton and the victory of the
congressional party. Cabiegrams have
been sent TO Minister Egan and there is
reason 70 believe that when he is satisfied
that the government (even though il is
temporary in fOrm) has been securely es-
tabIished in Chile he viii Immediately
omen official intercourse with that
government. This step, it Is said
at the department, Is equivalent 10
accreditinr the minister 70 the new gov
eminent and as soon as such new gov
ernment officially notifies the depart
ment of state that il has authorized It's
special ENJOYS 10 represent il regularly in
the United States. DeMontt and his COL
leagues will be recognized at the state de-
partment
