Latest news from Chili, up to the 38th, indicated the complete defeat of government forces and the occupation of Valparaiso by the insurgents. The government loss in the battles preceding the occupation of Valparaiso was very heayy, tlie killed being estimated at 5,000. President Balmaeedahad lied and President-elect Vicuna ought the protection of one of the foreign vessels In the harbor. Tub London Standard, in an article on the grain shortage, advises the con
sumption of Indian corn by Knropeaw, saying that the United States could ex

Thk town council of Moscow is considering a proposition to compel employers to furnish .their workmen with rye bread at the normal, or about onehalf the present priee. Experienced persons says that tlie rye ukase will merely have the effect of enriching a few dealers who are holding grain for famine prices. Thk news from all parts of England and Ireland Is to the effect that the result of long-iistained heavy rains is distressing. The crops are all under water, and will lc spoiled unless sunshine comes speedily. In some seethins the Ktatoe disease has made itg appearance. Thkrk was a dcstru:tirc storm at Berlin. N.

He was shown -the dispatch received by the congressknalrunvoys in Wash

cabled to the state department by the
United States consul at Valparaiso set
tles beyond doubt the conflicting re-
jMMts of tlie past few days concerning the condition of affairs at the seat of
war. The receipt of dispatches from Valparaiso telling of a victory for tlie Balmacedlets is explained by state
ami nary department officials aa resulting from Balmaeeda's control Of tlie eable line from that eity. Doubt as to the absolute authenticity of these dispatches was expressed in official dr
ies yesterday, for the reason that it is
a custom in vogue here, a part of diplomatic etiquette, in faet, that where a minister receives an important dtepaieh
from his home govern ma 11 1 that m
riven out for putdicatioa, it is seat at onee to the state department for
the information of this government. This was not done, and
as a result, the department officials ami
the me miners of the diplomatic corps
now in town discredited the stories and meiined to the belief that there waa nothing more than some skirmishing.

last night over tlie Mews of the victory
of tlie congressional forces at Val

Senor Varas is in San Francisco, Init Mr. Julio Foster, tlie remaining; envoy.
was beseiged with callers to offer con
gratulations, ami he was in a state of
delightful excitement Numerous tele
grams of congratulation were received during tlie evening from prominent
people In Chili, who are in sympathy with tlie congressional forces.
When asked what the status of
United States Minister Kgan would be
f the congressional party took control
Of the government, Mr. Foster said:
"lie can not remain as the United
States minister. We would request tlte
United States government to recall
him. We could not put up with a matt who has been partial to Hal m needs, and an enemy to the congressionalists,
and one who has always persisted that
ISulmHccda would not lie defeated. If Bahnaceda Is entirely dethroned," said
Mr. Foster, '"he ami his followers will not lie punished, as we believe tha
greatest punishment to tltese men. who
for the first time have figured in the
upper strata, will lie their short-lived
power and the tiitblk: indie-nation
heaped upon them."
Mr. Foster said Minister Kgan has a
son who hohls office indirectly under
iiaimacedH. "The yon w about 1 years
of age.' suld Mr. Foster, "and is em
ployed on n government railroad in the
capacity of clerk, and is paid for his services by a contractor who hi em
ployed by the Balmaceda government.
and I understand that this son has other employment umter llalmaeeda also. It is an unusual occurrence for a
foreign minister to plaee his son in tha
employ of a country which he serves ia
liplomatie relations."
