THE CHILIAN MINISTER'S DISPATCH. The following cablegram, dated Valparaiso, Chili, August 26,was received by Senor Lazcano, the Chilian minister at Washington, this morn- ing: + On the 25th the insurgent army was com- pletely defeated in Vina Del Mar. A division o chilian army cat off their retreat to the ships and oblij them to unconditionally sur- render. All the country applauds the valor and skill of the government army. (Signed) M. A. AvpowaTe, Minister of Foreign Affairs Chitt. LATE NAVY DEPARTWENT ADVICES. The Navy Department hag received a letter dated Coquimbo, Chili, July 36, from Rear Ad- miral George Brown, commanding the United: States naval force on the Pacific station. With! reference to the war in Chil: Admiral Brown says: There are about 6,000 well-equipy well-organized troope, cor the service, within a rn Cogmmbo. On the 7th instant there -vas a fight between the government troops and those of the insur- gents at Vallenar, in which not over 300 men on each side were engaged. ‘The result of th engagement cannot be avcertained with ory de- gree of accuracy, as the official reports of both sides are conflicting. It in known, however, that the government force returned to Serena immediately after the fight. Vallenar is inland from the port of Huasco and about 100 miles north of this place. It ix positively known that the insurgents at Iquique have recently received by their trans- port R. Maiopo about 15,000 stauds of arms, ome rapid-firing field pieces and a great quan- tity of ammunition. ‘These munitions of war, it is believed, were received by the transport from a German steamer at cither the Falkland Islunds or at some anchorage near Cupe Horn. So far as men, arms and ammunition and ships are concerned the insurgents are now prepared for agnovement to the south, but it is my opinion that no movement is probable until the winter season is nearer at an end, be- cause of the want of clothing for the troops. If, however, the report just received here, to the effect that the two ships about to be com- pleted in France have been delivered to the government officers, is true it will have the ef- fect of hastening action on the part of the in- surgents.

Clarkson and Secretary Foster Confer— ‘The Germans Against Campbell. Ex-Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson, hairman of the repnblican national executive committee, was in Washington today and had a long private conference with Secretary Foster. Mr. Clarkson said that ho was here on private business. = and, that__—he wanted an old soldier _ promoted, but it ie understood that ‘the promotion of the old soldier was not the only thing talked of be- tween him and the Secretary behind cloved doors. It is belioved that the Ohio campaign was tho subject of the conference. The determination of the republican editors of Ohio to kee} the silver question to the front as the lead- ing issue was brought about by Mr. Foster in opposition to the wishes of Mr. McKinley, who hes great faith in bis tariff bill as a voto catcher and was reluctant to permit any other issue appear as of first importance. It is said that considerable persuasion was necessary to induce him to give the silver question the prominent place in his opening speech. Mr. Clarkson and Secretary Foster, itis said. agree on the importance of keeping the tariff from absorbing all the interest of the cam- paign, and are both interested in the uneasiness that the action of the republican editors has given the democrats. THE OERMANS WILL DEFEAT CAMPBELL A democrat who has just returned from the West told a 8ram reporter today that he was convinced that Campbell could not be elected because of the opposition to him on the part of the Germans. “Whatever victories the democrats have en- Joyed in Ohio,” he said, “have been due to the German vote, the state being naturally repub- lican. bell and his friends have not recognized this fact, apparently, and have not aided the Germans in their fight for per- sonal liberty. “The democrats have taken about the same position on this question as that occupied by the republicans. Most of the independent Germaus will either vote against Campbell or will not vote at all. “The Gorman democratic papers which op- posed Campbell's nomination have bowed to for heating and ventilating the Marine Hospital building at Eva le, Ind., the lowest being that of Blake & Williams of New York at $9,496. sooner should my presence there be deemed important. “THE WAR 18 OVER.” “The war is over." said Senor Prudencio Lazcano, the Chilian minister, commenting on the cable dispatch received from the Chilian minister of foreign affairs. Senor Lazcano wore a contented expression upon his de- termined face. while his handsome wife, who acts as his interpreter, beamed with enthu- sinem and_ joy over the happy result ‘The war began more than’ six months ago, Senor Lazcano explained, and the ineurgents were led by Col. Canto, who had been disminsed from the Chilian army. He had succeeded in securing the Chilian navy, und on this account had been able until now to maintain his army. ‘The Chilian government had no navy and be- cause of this disadvantage bad been unable to hem in the insurgents. “Had wo had ips,” said Scnor Lazcano, tracing the posi- tions of the government and insurgent forces onarough mup he bad drawn so us to more explicitly explain himself, ‘we would havo suc- ceeded long ago.” He then traced the positions of the army of the Chilan government. under command of Gen. Veiarquez, the present min- inter of war, and who distinguished himself in the war between Chili and Peru ten years ago. At Coquimbo, on the northern coast of Chili 10,000 government troops were stationed Santiago 12,000 troops were in garrison, while below at Concepcion 10,000 men were underarms. To the left of Concepcion an army of 9.000 men wero rendezvoused. Between Santiago and Quinteros, just above the Aconcagua river, the insurgents, under Col. Can‘o, landed 10,00) men. Under protection from thei ships the insurgents moved down the coust to- ward Valparaiso, At the Aconengua river the insurgents were met by a force of 5,000 men from the government army, which had moved up from. the leit of Concepci ‘This force held the insurgents at bay for thirty hours. In the meantime the govern- ment forces at Santiago, Concepcion and Co- quimbo moved down, hemmed in the insurg- ents and compelled the unconditional sur- render of the insurgents.

MM. FOSTER DON'T BELILVE IT. The dispatch received here by the Chilian quantities of timber had been cut on the Fond iu Lac Indian reservation in Minnesota, said that it was correct, arid that the agent of the Indian office had investigated the matter and turned 1t over to the geueral land office for their action. Inquiry at the land office developed minister announcing the defeat of the insur- gents at Vina del Mar was shown to Mr. Foster, one of the insutgent representatives, this morning, and that gentleman was asked if he had heard anything from his party. He re- plied that he hud received the following cable- gram from their agent late last night: “Iquigue, August 26.—Notices inspired by tho dictator's agents in Lima absolutely without authorization. (Signed) Ennazuriz.” This, Mr. Foster said, probably referred to the reported defeat of his party. “Ido not say that the dispatch received by the Chilian minister is not correct,” he con- tinned, “but I think that in case the battle had been fought on the 25th and won by Balmaceda he would not have delayed so long in spreading the news.” Mr. Foster also took into consideration that the forces of Balmaceda outnumbered those of the insurgents, but said that in case the itlsur- mt party was defeated it only meant a pro- jongition of the war, and that the insurgent force would be increased in every possible way the dictator fought to tho end. Mr. Foster momentarily expects additional advices from his party. but had received no report. Prrsoxat.—E. W. Perry of Chicago, E. W. Atkins of Chattanooga, E. G. Ridiout of New York, 8. W.

THE HAYTIAN MISSION. & Flood of Applications to Succeed Fred- erick Dougiass. ‘The latest advices received at the State De- partment from Hayti are to the effect that af- fairs in the island are very quiet just now and the inevitable since the _ convention, but they have confined their work to attacking McKinley and have not said one word in favor of Campbeil directly. The Farmers’ Allinnce—the granger movement—may draw off such a vote as to give Campbell the election, but without that he has no chance at “McKinley is as weak a candidate as the re- publicans could have nominated for the reason that his extreme tariff views provoke opposi- tion that would not exist if the party had a more conservative candidate, but in spite of the wide-spread unpopularity of the McKinley bill, Mckinley is almost cer- tain to be elected. Another candidate who would not drag the tariff into the fight would have been sure of a large majority.” JUDGE MORRILL MAY GET IT. An Alabama Man Who May Be Appointed Interstate Commissioner. It is reported that Judge Allen H. Morrill of Alabama will be appointed to fill the vacancy on the interstate commerce commission caused by the death of Gen. Bragg. A numberof can- didates have been spoken of, among them two or three from Alabama. Representative Her- bert is said to be willing to resign his seat in the House to accept the position. Ex-Repre- sentative Hammond of Georgia and ex-Senator Reagan of Texas are mentioned as possible candidates. Judge Morrill was formerly a law partner of Senator Pugh, who will probably urge his appointment. oe A CRACK INDIAN COMPANY. Capt. Lee's Favorable Keport of a Recent'| Inspection. The War Department has received a report'| from Capt. J. M. Lee of the ninth United) States infantry of an inspection he recently made of troop L, sixth cavalry. This troop consists of fifty-five Sioux Indians amd is stationed at Fort Niobrara, Neb. The troop was recruited at Rosebud, South Dakota, largely from the Brule Sioux tribe, the least progressive of the bands located there. The officer who recruited the troop and who is now in command of it is Lieut. Edward E. Dravo of the sixth cavalry. In his report Capt. Leo says he visited the quarters, mess rooms and stables of the garrison and talked with the men freely. They are, he says, well contented and cheerful, and there was not a single com- plaint from ‘them. They are clean, neat and Soldierly. ‘Their quarters and the grounds con- tignous tc them were well police. ‘The furni- ture aud utensils of the camp were scrupu- lously clean and the food was well cooked and properly served. All the cooking was done by indians and there was none better done in the garrison. The stables and grounds were models of neatness and completeness, and were made so by the Inbor of the Indians. They attend to their duties with the regularity of the best soldiers. They are proud of being sol- , the captain says, are becoming rapidly civilized in their demeanor and habite and are having 0 salutary influence over the reservatis Indians. ‘Twenty per cent of the company have deporited money “with the paymaster. They rend considerable amounts each pay day to their needy relatives at the agency and pur- chase many necessary and useful articles. Licut. Dravo, the captain says, has ennsed thore at the post with families to beiawfally married. Mounted drill had just begun at the time of the intpection, and the intelligent progress of the Indians was surprising. Their memory aud application of every foot drill seemed almost perfect. ‘The dismounting drill was excellent and the military wheels aud other movements were executed with surprising promptness and regularity. Lieut. Dravo, says Capt. Lee, has taken fifty-five Brule indians from tho midst of barbarous surroundings aud has done more for their progress und civilization in the brief pe- riod of three anda half months than has ever been accomplished in ay many years under other methods. | Army Orders, Upon the recommendation of the regimental commander the following transfers in the twenty-second infantry are made: First Lieut.

C., ‘A western-bound passenger train ‘on the Western North Carolina railroad jumped a trestle near here this morning about20'clock. The train plunged in the Carkness intoa ravine 200 feet in depth, dashing the cars into splint- ers. At least forty of the gers were killed outright. The wounded number twenty-five. Many of them will die. Few if any of the ngers or crew escaped uninjured. Relief was promptly sent, Owing to tho hour ‘and the locality of the accident only the most meager details have been received. THE TRAIN WELL FILLED WITH PEOPLE. Raxzion, N. C., August 27.—Early this morn- ing a fast passenger train went through a bridge over Third creck on the Western North Caro- lina railway near Statesville. The train was filled with people, many of them Tennesseeans returning from coast The wreck is complete. Very few escaped death, as the bridge is sixty fect high. Up to 11 o'clock thirty-six bodies had been recovered from the wreck. i ulars are as yet meager. ‘Over Forty Bodies Recovered. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Raxzion, N. C., August 27.—A terrible rail- road accident occurred this morning near Statesville, N.C. ‘The west-bound passenger train on the Western N. C. rodd fell through Beston’s bridge, eighty feet high. ‘A large number of people were killed. Over forty bodies have been recovered ut this hour. The names cannot be ascertained just now. State Auditor Sanderlin was on the train, but escaped unhurt. ee THE MARYLAND REPUBLICANS. The Ocean City Convention Opened With = Long Speech by Chairman Hodgson. Oceax Crry, Mp., August 27.—The delegates tothe Maryland republican state convention were nearly all in their seats today when Chair- man Hodgyon cailed the convention to order. The speech of the chairman, which was the first made, lasted for nearly an hou. He caustically scored those who would establish a ersonal party within the party—reckless whether their names were linked with defeat or triumph if they could only be kept in the public gaze to be talked of. Harmony among leaders he held to be essential to the success of the party in this state, and surrender of prejudices under the operation of new and better light showed possession of the higher {ype of manhood. | He counseled self-abnoga- tion if needful for the general good—then the republican party would win success becauso it deserved success. When the convention met it still looked as if Harry M. ugh of Carroll county would be the choice for the nomination for governor. but Col. William G. Vannort of Kent county showed no disposition to abandon the contest, pre- ferring, he said, to await and abide by the ver- dict of the ballot. M'COMAS FOR CLABAUGH. ‘The correspondent of the Baltimore American (rep.) hne sent the following dispatch to Gen. Felix Agnus, the editor: Ex-Congressman MeComas will vote for Cla- bangh against Vannort. Clabaugh hae been advised by McComas onl, to accept by accla- ination, and efforts are being made by his ad- herents to do the same for all on the ticket.
