THE OMAHA DAILY BEE Qorrespondent at Tquique Says the Sitna- tion Has Beon Groesly Misrapresented. ZTHAT PLACE BY NO MEANS DEMOLISHED. Xtata Incldents Occnpy Public and OMcial Minds—sentiment Against the Action of the United States Government, Nrw Yonr, July 11.—~A correspondent at g Il, date of June 13, writes as T'ho situation of the congressional party n Chill has been grossly misropro- sented to the pooplo of the United States through the medium of correspondents in ' bo capital city of Sautiago, also by those who have been traveling on the government transport Imperiale that accompanies the torpedo crulsers Lynch and Condel. To a person visiting this port fully posted, as he Imagined, on affairs through the medium of @ispatchos published, nothing could be more , Btriking than the scenes at the port of Iqui- que on June 10. Although expecting to find tho town in ruins, I found there were scarcely any signs of the demoli- fon. Certainly five blocks of buildings woro burned through the persistent refusal of Balmnceda's officers to put the firemen to Wworl to extingulsh tho flames, The unbiased opinion of foreizn residents is that the de- struction of these buildings was the work of Colonel Soto, and the attacking war ships bad orders to inno wise use loaded shells that might cause unnecessary loss of life. In tho attendant excitement thore was a few oharged projectiles firod, but beyond dam- Bges caused to the clock tower of the plaz Ana the breakage of the walls of a build: o othor damages were caused by the war ships in the bay. The town is in excollent ozdor, the municipal ordurs have restored all @amages to property, and nearly all building 8itos of tho burned strosts ara now occupied by either houses in course of re-orsction or eompleted. The majority of the housos were ©f wood and plaster, and their reconstruction does not occupy any longth of time. I'ho Itata incidents occupy the public and ofticial minds. ~ Public sentiment condemins 4n a marked measure the action of the United Btates government in the matter. It is con- oeded that the German captain of the Itata scted wroogfully in carrying off the United &mm deputy marshai, but for that offense o United “States govornment should not have sought redross. [otaining the arms and ummunition at this critical period is deeply deplored by tho leaders of the party, It was expected that with these munitions of war the daily inoreasing force of volunteer soldiers wouild have been armed and & move- ment made to the south to cast the die for victory or failure. But tho determination of the congressional oabinet to deliver the Jtata and in no wise offend the United States, bas in a measure retarded tho movements of the belligerent forces. The ultimate release of the Itata by tho United States government is earnestly hoped for, and in that hope there is no doubt. Shat tho belligerents have the sympathy of all fLorciguers throughout Cnili. ‘Tho farcical bombardment of Iquique by $ho torpedo oruisers Lynch and Condol on 0o 4 13 a fair example of the mothods of arfare as conducted by Balmacedas' naval orces. Throwing shells from a vessol sevon miles from shore is simply a waste of good material and at that distance the alleged ruin of IquiGue was accomplished. As soon as tho corvetto Abtao and the old Huascar were $eou to bo coming out of Tquique harbor tho rpedo cruisers got undor way, and, altkough superior modern vessels in every rospect to the last named ship, they rotreated south to ttack tho defenseless port of Tocobilla. i:mron force was landed and the customs d municipal documents destroyed, and after tho crews had annoyed the residents $he two cruisers wert to Valparaiso, ‘Telegraphic communication between Toco- @illa and the north was cut oft by the sailors from the: cruiser. The commander of the Condel informed the Santiago authorities that he had succeeded in bombarding Iquique mnd Tocopilla, and had so scared the officers 1 the congressional shivs that thoy retreated to port. ~ He pronounced the fleot as use- s and badly disorganized. Beyond requir- & docking thero is not a singla ship in the session of tho insurgonts that cannot bo ependod upon. I can contidently state these s from personal observation. Tho only porvosctobo gained by tho Balmaceda fao on of these untruthful reports 1s to impress foreign nations that he maintains supremacy over the iusurgents. The rovenues of the rt of Iquique, amounting to $2,000,000 Eaquthly, aro in the hands of the congros- sional party. This sum is far in excess of any reveoue that Balmaceda receives, and yrhilo the receipts continue there is no doubt that tho congressional pasty will be able to ure sinews of warand mamtain their sit- ation, Tho yarns told by varlous British ship asters as to their acts of self-sacrifice and rotection granted to those who went on ard their ships during the bombardment of quique are highly coiored. I find tha with ut few exceptions payment for services rendered—and a good round sum, too—was obtained from the unfortunates whogvero on the vessels. -The crows, cooks and stewards ©f the vessels united in' fleecing every one that thoy knew would stand the extortions. ‘With regard to the presont state of interne- eino strife, it is almost_impossiblo to predioct tho time or manner of its termivation. But Jooking in an impartial light upon the sub- ct it appears at this moment that the con- gressional party 1s far in tho ascendant. e LOTS OF ROUTINE.

To the Board of Publio Lands and Build- ings, Lincoln, Neb.: I notice i the Lincoln papers that tho addition tothe state peni- tontiary at Liucoln is bewg built by the prison contractor with convict labor, while house roll No. 510 as passed by tho loaisla- ture provided that & largo sum of money he appropriated for the erection of a cell Louso by days labor. Now 1f that appropriation and house roll No. 597 appropriating another large sum of money for an addition to_tho public building at Beatrice means anything Il is that the work should be doue under the direction of your honorable body by honest, froo labor at honest froe mon's wages. Sec: tion 3, of house roll 147 as amended by myselt reads’: Sec. 3. That sald building shall boercoted by day's wor« under the direction and supervis- fon of the board of public lands and bulldings, who are heroby authorized to employ such architeots, superintendents, foremen and workmen as may be necessary. 1 560 no roason why your honorable body cannot and will not give the erection of the Beatrice house to Mr. Mosier, to be done by convicts, as well as the penitentiary, and pay him for such convict lasor the same 'price as is gven honest, skilled stone and brick masons, plasterers and carpente ‘'he Teason that the legislaturo passed theso bills was that the state might get good, well built buildings and no more such build- ings as the soldiers’ homo at Grand Lsland, that already has had to be braced, tied and roofed, and is now in a dangerous condition, 1 confess that during the session of the logislature I could not sea how Mr. Mosier and his gang of bired lobbyists would be ro- paid for the time and money spent in getting this appropriation passed, espooiaily as his coutract with the staté compels him to build free of cost to the state a large number of cells in this building, but now if you are to allow him to put his couviots at work on those building and pay Mr. Mosior for them at the wages paid froo labor, besides paying Mr. Mosier for the keeping of tuese convicts, 1 see clearly that Mosier, Dorgan & Co. wers not so terribly disinterested as they claimed to be. I thorefore, together with all honest labor- ers, respectfilly request that theso buildings be built by the legisiature. Yours respect- tully, JaiEs C. BRENNAN. —_—— WILL BE A BIG ONE. Arrangements for the Coming Fall Exposition in Omaha, The Coliseum association is making rapid preparations for holding a grand exposition in September. The association has been re- cently organizod and all the stock of the con- cern is owned by the association. The capital stock is 50,000, most of which has been sub- seribad, aud it is being issued as fast as it 1s printed, In is the intention to open the exposition on Septomber 1 and continue it until tho 26th. An effort will be made to have the railroads show Omaba the same favors they have ex- tended to Sioux Cityand other towns and make an excursion rate of oue fare. If this is done tho management say the exposition will bomade an luter-state affair and exhibits will be invited from surrounding states. Tho merchants of the city will also be asked to join in holding a “Merchant's week” during the exposition. The management also expect to have the board of trade and kindred organizations tako hold of the matter, and it 1s thought there will be no difffulty inbringing 100,000 peoplo to the city sud providing them with an entertainment worth seeing, Arrangements have been wade for seour ing the finest music and the best solo artists in the country during the exposition and peo- ple of national roputation will be secured to tako part in debates on subjects of popular interest. The Coliseum building will be rejuvenated and a_strong effort will be made to secure & machinery oxhibit large enough to warrant putting an addition o the building for the display of machinery of all kinds.

SOME VERY SARCASTIC THINGS SAID. Lincoln's Blographer Refuses to Be Summarily Disposed Of and Takes Another Whirl at the Philadelphia Editor. PriLapELpriA, July 11,—The Times this morning publishes an_editorial addressed to John G. Nicolay under the caption, “Spanked and Dismissod.” It is in part as follows: “‘Had you known anything about the insido political movements in the white house in 184 you would have known that my letter to Lincoln, quoted in your de- fense, was writtan because of a suddenly developed effort in this state to divide tho lines drawn by the bitter Cameron and Cur- tin factional war for and against Lincoln. The Cameron followers claimed to bo the special supporters of Lincoln and attempted todrive Curtin and the administration into hostility tw the president. My justly as- sumed ~ devotion " to Curtin = was ~ the protext for declaring mo as _either re- strained in my support of Lincoln, or likely to be in opposition. Themoment I'saw the statement in rrinL I wrote the letter you quote to dismiss from Lincoln’s mind ull ap- prenonsions about either open or passive op- position from Curtin's frieads, “Equally, indeed even. more flagrantly falso is your statement of only a minor truth about the actlon of the Pennsyluania_deloga- tion at Baltimore in 1564. You say Cameron cast the solil vote of the state for Hamlin, Had Yo' desired to be truthful, you would havé added that Cameron cast the 'solid vote of thedelegation for John- son before the close of thefirst builot, *‘Had you sought the truth as an honest biograplier you could bavé obtained it, not only from me, so far as I'kiew i, but from such living witnesses as Charlos A, Dana and Murat Halstead, and fromthe recorded testi- mony of General Camorgn, Colonel Roney and others who knew much 'of Lincoln and but little of you. Iustend of seeking the truth, you flung your igmorance and egotism with ' ostentatious Indeceacy upon the be reaved housobold of the yek, untombod Ham- lin, and when brought ta, bay by those better informed than yourself, yo resent in the tone and terms of a ward-heéler in the wharf-rat aistrict battling for coustabulary honors. I think it sufe to say the public judgment will be that it would have been-well for both Lin- colw's momory and for by gountry had such & biographer been drownad when a pup, “Dismissed.

Mr. Nicolay says bo does not propose to allow Mr. McClure 10 re- treat iu a cloud of vituperation from full con- viction of having made & misstatement of history, Heo then sums up the points of evi- dence on the question in controversy. Mr. Me- Clure's statement, in which he says that Mr, Lincoln wstructed bim (MeClure) to oppose Hamlin's nomination is proved to bo & wmis- statement by Lincoln’s own written words, which ho quotes as follows: “Wish not to interfere about vice presidency. Cannot interfere about platform; convention must judge for itselt.” It is proved to be a misstatoment, says Nicolay, by the testimony of Hon. B. (. Cook, chairman of the Illiuois delogation, who says be went to ) 800 Lincoln about his choice for vice presi- dent, it baving been hinted that Lincoln favored Johnson. Mr. Cook afirms, says Nicolay, that Lincoln expressed no_profer- once to the vice presidental candidate but aftor the interview with him he was as positive that Hannibal Hamlin was his fuvorite as that he was alive. The fact is further proven, says Nicolay, by the action of the Iilinols delogation, which was a unit for Mr. Hamlin. It Is further proven to be a misstatomont, says Nicolay, by Colonel Hay, who says, *'I have nothing to say about Nicolay's asser- tion or about this telegram, but I do corrobor- ate the statement that Mr. Lincoln withheld all opinion calculated to influenco tho Balti- mora convention of 1864." It is again proven to be a_misstatement, says Nicolay, by the action of Simon Cam’ eron, chairman of tho Pennsylvania delega- tion,'in nominating Hamlin a3 a_candidato for Vice-president and casting for him the wholo fiey-two votos of tho’ Ponnsylvania delegation. Tt is proven to be a misstatement, contin- ues the lotter, by Colonel McClure's'own ac- tion in tho Baltiwore convention, whon at tho first vote for vice-president ha voted for Hamlin for vice-president. If Colonel Me- Clure did this willingly, says Nicolay, ho be- trayed Lincoln's allezed confidonce and 1n- structions. If ho did it cawillingly he proved humself a political cipher, a pretended agent. to manipulato a national convention, who had not influenco enough in his own dologation to coatrol his own vote. Tho first roll call was decisive in showiug Johuson's strength against tho Pennsylvania vote and it showed that McClure contributed nothing for but. everything against the rosull o says bo was commissioned to bring about.
