W AMII.VI. ION. SEPT. 7. President Harrison has instructed Patrick Kiran to roet)gn /v.* forthwith the congressiona' government in Chili. This is authentic. Assistant. Secretary of State W harion ileeiines to ailirm or deny the report. secretary Tracy. when approached. expressed surprise at the reticence of the state department. **1 dou't see what there is to conceal about the matter,'' he added. "The telegram was sent to Egan instructing him to rec^gnizo the junta. 1 don't sec why any secret should be made of it. At the same time I don't care to be mixed up in it. 1 was at ape May two days ago, and the president issued the instructions while 1 was there."

WASHINGTON. Sept. 7.—Cablegrams were sent from the state department to Mini.rter Egan Friday aUeruoon. They were the outcome of Secretary Tracy's consultation with President llamson. and Acting Secretary Wharton was merely the medium for their transmisiio.il. While the authorities will not- allow the announcement to otlieiully made that Minister *fv.jan has been instructed to re» ,'iti/e the eongressionalists they admit that the preliminaries have been ti'ken toward that end. The advices received from the minister and from Admiral Krown have been sufficiently clear as to the fact that the congressionalists constitute the only government now in Chili, but there is a doubt whether public order had been sutlieientlv restored and the rioting in the various cities stopped so that the element of stability could be preserved. This doubt seems also to have been settled and the news of the otHcial recognition of the junta by the I nited States may bo looked for as soon as Minister Egan receives his instructions. It is stated that the minister may not come home as soon as this duty is performed, but he is expected in Washington to report within the next two or three months. The course of Admiral Urownand Minister Egan in protecting the refugees is approved by the administration. Experience with .south American revolutions has shewn that foreign countries cannot afford to accede to the demands generally made by the victorious party for the delivery to it of the refugees who have found shelter in the foreign legation.

SA N I A O sept. 7. In an interview 1'nited States Minister Egan denied emphatically the charges that he was an ardent partisan of the late President Hitlmaccda. or that he had profited or expected to profit by certain nitrate and railroad contracts. "Ever since my arrival here," eontinucd Mr. Eg: n, with a trace of bitterness in his voice, **the English, who are naturally antagonistic to me. have looked with- a jealous eye on my success in obtaining recognition for American citizens and payment of their claims. So far as my sympathies go they are extended to all. For four months my house was the asylum of men like Edward Montt, Charles Walker-Martinez, Augustin Edwards and other prominent opposition leaders. Together with Consul MeCreery I have saved from death and imprisonment many men. There are to-day in the legation twenty of the more prominent adherents of Kalmaccda who have not left the couutry."

Minister Egan says he began to make proposals to Halmaceda August 20, that in the event of his defeat and in order to avoid further bloodshed he should deliver the government into the hands of (Jen. Haquedano. It was on the night of August 28 that, forced by stern necessity. Halmaceda had to atlix his signature to the decree completing the surrender.

Affairs have almost settled down to the ante-bellum state of quiet and order. There has been nothing decided as yet regarding the elections and the establishment of a constitutional government. It will take several weeks at least before the necessary arrangements for this can be completed. ami in the meantime the junta ile gobierno will administer the affairs of the country.

The governments of Kra/.il and Peru have officially congratulated the junta on the victory of the congressional party and the restoration of peace in Chili. A decree has been issued by the junta announcing that the notes issued during the revolution by Halmaceda will be recognized as legal by the new government.

The German minister has olllcially notified Scnor Monti that any of the refugees on lernian ships who are accused of any except political crimes will be given up. but that those who are accused of political offenses purely will be landed on neutral ground. It is thought that the same course will be pursued by the American minister and Admiral H.own. though they have not as yet made any delinite proposal to that effect

YAI.PAKAISO. Sept. —The congressional army was composed very largely of volunteers. So secure do the members of the junta feel in their position at present that they have given orders that any of the volunteers who wish to do so may return to their homes, and hence the late victorious armv is

rapidly disintegrating. In a few davs" it will hardly be possible to see many signs of the late war."

The ouestiou of the refugees on board the American and German warships has been settled definitely. The I. nited states cruiser Haltlmorc sailed Friday, presumably for allao, having on board Senors Mollcndo, Hanadas. Espinosa, Godoy, Perez Montt and seventeen other less prominent ltalmacedist*.
