Arrival of tk United SUtM fjK9n c 8x FraJMteeo. Ia4rrtw with Admiral wwh-m ltMMt4r BrrM Carpeet4 k a tfc Ttiwiii ir hi t CMHen WrwasHf. Sax Fkaxcik-o, Nov. Sit. Admiral Brown, of the cruiser an Franeiseo, when approached for an interview by a United Press eorrespoadent shortly after the arrival of his vessel from Chili, yesterday morning, sakl: "We In-ing very little news. In fact almost everything that happened was known in the United States before it became public in Chili. Correspondents of Amork-an papers would telegraph Hfws to New York aad then it would be telegraphed back to Valparaiso and appear in the afternoon papers. We left San Francihco on April 8 last and stopped at Acapulco, where we Uok on eoal. From Acapulco we went direct to Iquique. We were at the latter place when the Itata put in, ami we seized her according to instructkms. onie of the stories telegraphed to San Francisco were very ridiculous. For instance, you had Iquique bombarded several times. The nearest any man-of-war ever came to the place was about five miles? We could hear firing, hut we never even saw the splash of one of their missiles in the water. After the capture of Valparaiso and the final surrender of ISaltnaceda's troops many of his intwt prominent adherents took refuge on the San Francisco, and we afterwards landed them at Callao. We had almut twenty of them on board at one time, among them being the wife, four daughters and two sons of Admiral Viol, the iutendente of Valparaiso; Julio llanadoii Espaiiios. lialmnceda's minister of foreign affairs; Senor Domingo Godoi, minister of justice; Ismael Perez Moatt, minister of war, Manuel Diaz, Daniel llalmaceda, brother of the president, and a number of others. Some of these have found their way lisck to Chili, but others will make Peru their home for some time to come." "How about the story that llalmaceda escaped on board the San Francisco, admiral." "Oh, it was simply a case of mistaken identity. They thought Col. VIdaurre was the president , The people, of Valparaiso would have been almost as well pleased to have caught Vidaurre, however, as Halmaccda. Had cither of them got into the hands of their enemies their lives would not have been worth a moment's purchase. They .would have been torn limb from limb. Col. Vidaurre was president of the court that ordered twenty college iors shot The boys had formed an organization favoring the insurgents, and they were found out Many escaped, but about twenty were shot This aroused the people to a state of frenzy and made them eager to secure Vidaurre. He dressed himself up as a sailor ami pretending to be drunk, managed to reach our ship: He Was accompanied by one of his officers ami we landed both of them in Peru." "Minister Egan lias been very severely criticised for the way he has conducted affairs in Chill, ami it is said that Americans are thoroughly disliked ia consequence. Do you know anything about it?" Admiral Rrown replied: 4I know this much. Minister Kgan conducted himself in the most dignified manner on all occasions. He saw that all respect was pakl to his country's flag, and acted on many trying occasions with great tact and judgment From what I saw while .in Chili, Americans are as well liked as any other nationality. I underderstand that loth Minister Egan aad myself were criticised for not sending word of the taking of Valparaiso, but the wires were down, so how could we send a dispatch? The only message which got through was sent by a newspaper reporter named Wolf. After tins city was taken a reign of terror ensued. Soldiers tore off their uniforms and liegan firing on friend at.d foe. Every house and shop was shut up anil the operators fled from the telegraph office. Toward evening a lull in the killing took place and the streets were partly :lcarcd Wolf slipped ashore, intei viewed a number of people, hunted up a telegraph operator and got his dispatch away. A few moments after the dispatch had lecn sent the firing broke out again and the mob cut the telegraph wires and burned down a number of poles. It took me twenty-seven hours, with the akl of the police, to get the break repaired, and then I sent out my communication to the government The wires to Santiago were also cut, so Minister Egan could not telegraph cither. The condition of affairs iu Chili at that time does not appear to have liecn very well understood. For instance, James Gordon. Dennett, of the New York Herald, telegraphed Wolf after the fall of Valparaiso as follows: "Find llalmaceda and interview him." As about AO.oeo Chilians were at that moment seeking the same man and thirsting for his blood, ot was in u dilemma. He dht his lest, however, out oi course tailed, liulmaceua was at that time hiding in Santiago, Then there was an entire misconception as to the values tmld for produce and other goods. The only cargo that imkl expenses, I should judge, was that which the Montserr at brought down.Of course coal was$W) a ton and potatoes 989 a saek, but then you lost sight of the fact that the dollar was only worth thirty cents lie fore leaving the diip the United Press eorrespomleitt asked Admiral ltrowa about the anti-fouling paint Ia reply to a question tke admiral said: "Several kinds of anti-fouling mint were tried as an experiment ami some ef them I know have proved to be a fsilure.
