HORRIBLE SCENES 1IN CHILL, Revolting Goverament Troaps Murder Their Officers and Disband, MOBS OF SOLDIERS IN CORONEL. ‘Women Insulted and Suhjected to Al Manner of Indignities—Appeals for Mercy Answered with Deadly Rifle Shots. | Copyright 1991 by James Gordon Bennett.| VaLpARAIRO, Chill, Via Garvestox, Tex., Bept. 2.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee.|—Exciting news is brougbu today frum the south by tho Straits steamer which came up from Talcahuano. Tho two rogiments of government troops which were taken to that port recently from Coquimbo by the transport imperiale revolted whon they heard of the defeat of the Balmacedists at Placilla last Friday. Thoy shot to death all their officers and disbanded. Nearly four thousand coal ininers joined them and together they have practically taken possession of the town of (oronel on the coast about twenty-five miles south of Concepcion. All sorts of excesses have been committed by them. Houses and stores have beeu sacked and burned. 'The slightest pro- test against thelr actions is met by riflo shots. ‘Women have been abused and subjected to brutalities of the most revolting character. In fact walo rule in its worst form pre- vails, Some outrages huve boen committed also in Concepcion ana ‘lalcahuano, but the force at the disposal of the authorities there has been sufficient to save them from the fate which has overtaken the six thousand people of Coronel As 5000 as the nows was raceived this morn- ing the German war ship Sophie and the British gun boat Daphne were ordered to go at once to Corone! and protect the interests of foreign residents thero. The government officials here have also taken steps to beat the mob {nto subjection. Senor Jorge Montt, (ieneral Canto and otbors of the congressional clhiefs arrived 1n Santiago this morning. They wore recelved with the greatest en- thusiasm by the pooplo of the capitol. Geuneral Baquedano, the acting pres- faent, received them officially. The other members of tho junta sabicrno are expectod 10 arrive hero from Iquiguo tomorrow. They will at once proceed to Santingo when tho question of anew election and the reorgan zation of the government will be considerea. There {s no disguising the fact that there is & vory bitter feoling against the Amoricans on the part of the successful revolutionists. This fecling is so strong that unloss it is concilinted in some way may seriously affect American commercial interests iu Chili for some timo. Tho capture of the Itata first created the impression that the United States govern- ment was actively unfavorable to the revo- lutionary cause. This impression was in- tensified by tho action of Admiral Brown when he visited Quintero bay on August 20 to witness the landing of General Canto's army. The admiral desiredjto see the mancuvre and fnvited some of the other uaval officers in ‘Valparaiso to come to the flagship San Fran- clsco and go to Quintero bay. Only the Gormun officers accepted. The San Fran- clsco did not anchor at Quintoro oay, but steamed around until tho landing was af- fected and then headed for Valparaiso. A boat was seut from the transport Copiapo to visit the American cruisor, but did not suc- coed in gotting aboard. Upoa the arrival of the San Francisco hore Lieutonant Dyer vis ftod Admiral Viel to sccure permission to nend a cablo dispatch to the Navy depart- ment. This visit has been coustrued by the adherents of the Junta as proof positive that Admiral Brown was acting as a government spy on the movements of the opposition, ana no amount of explanation has been sufcient to remove this improssion. Then other things have served to strougthen the feeling against the United States. Not the least linportant amoug them 13 thovery general feeling that Minister Kgan has been an active partisan of Balmaceda and has used his influenco in preventing Btate department from recoguizing the bellig- eront rignts of the insurgents. Acting Secre- tary Wharton's action in ignoring Souors Montt and Foster, the congressional envoy: even now when it is a recognized fact that thoy represont the only government of the country, has increased tho feeling against aitizens of the United States. Admiral Brown's action in refusing to giveup the political refugees who have found an asylum aboard his ships, has also added to the gen- eral irritation, It is the general belief that Admiral Brown is acting under instructions or by the advice of Mr. Kgan, The minister 18 expected to arrive hore tomorrow for the purpose of consulting with tho admiral as to the flual disposition of the refugees now on board the American ships. The feeling sgalnst lgan is very violent and there 1 lit- tle question that his recall will soon be de- manded. Tho German admiral settled the question as to tho aisposition of tho refugees so faras hels concerned, by sending the corvette Aloxandrine to the north today presumably to Callas with Senor Clandio Vicuna, the recent prosident elect; Admiral Oscar Viel, the ex-intendente of Valparaiso, Captain Fuents, recently in command of the torpedo boat Almiranie Lynch: Senor Sanchez, late superintendent of the custom house and others aboard. Mr. McCreery the United States consul at Vaiparaiso is in high favor. He rondered valuable services to persecuted women and politicar refugees whose lives wore 1n danger. Tho records at Santiago confirm the statement that on August 18 Preswent Balmaceda ordered forty-two young men to be shot to death, They were charged with having engaged ina plot to blow up a railroad bridge and thus prevent the movemeat of government troops. Many of them were boys of from 16 to 13 years of sge. Onoof them was whipped in order to make him confess the plot. It is charged, and from the rocords appears to be true, that only a small portion of the cruelties perpe- trated by the lato government have been pub- lished. Tho congressionalists ace giving trials to all against whom offences aro charged and executions up to this time had bean remarkably fow. Much pity is felt for the families of the Balmacedist oMcials whe have fled the ocountry, Many of them have been left be- hind friendless and penniless. There will be no fight av Coquimbo. The transport Coapopl bad taken on board a atvision of troops and was under orders to sail for Coquimbo today when a formal tender of submission was re- oceived from Cotonel Corvoillo commanding the troops there. (ieneral Baquedano at At onco sent back orders for Colonel Corvoillo 1o retain the command of his troops and to maintain order in the distriot about Co- quimbo. [ have been assured by promineat men among the congressionalists that within & month arrangements will bo made to hold elections in all sections of the country and that as s00n as the results of these elections are kuown the juuta will turn over the country W the properly constituted authori tlos. The torpedo boat Almirante Lynch and the eruiser Esmorulda returned today from an unsuccessful search for the Almirante Con- doll and the transport Imperiale. Nothing has been heard from the vessels since they oft Coquimbo, Order hus been restored iu THE OMAHA DAILY Santlago and Valparaiso. been gotten under control and there is no likelihood of the authorities being unable to preserve the peace from this out. Mercan- tilo ostablisnments have beon reonened in this city and the business section is gradually resuming its customary appearance. Ex chango is steadily rising’ Nothing has been hoard here of President Balmaceds sinco ho was reported with his family und valuables at Los Andes. It is not likely that any definite news will be re. coived of him until he gots within the range of telegraphlc communication on the other sideof tho mountains. It has been found im- possible to bury all the bodies which wero loft on Friday’s battlefleld with the facilitios at the command of the authoritios, and it has therefors been decided to cremate them, This will probably be done tumor row. ‘T'he hospitals in the city are filled and all tho available medical forco in the city is kept as busy as can be. Many of the men who were wouuded at the battlo of Coucon wero loft for eight days without attention Had not the foreign surgeons organized an ambulance corps the sufferings of the wounded would have been infinitely greater and many more of them would have died. BALMACEDA REPORTED KILLED. Said to Have Been Murdered While Crossing the Andes, New York, Sept. 2. —An unconfirmed ro- vort reached this city yesterday from Santiago that Balmaceda, ex-dictator of Chili, had been killed in the mountatus ‘while trying to effect his escape. According to the story Balmaceda left Santiago on Saturday night beforo the rioting commenced. He took bis family with him and carried a great deal of personal property, including a con- siderable sum of money and some valuable jewels. When he reached a point & few miles outside the city he and his family abandoned the carriages in which they had been travel- ing and toolc a special train which was in waiting to convey them to Los Andes, thirty- two miles northenst of Santiago, Here Balmaceda loft his family and with a companion started on Monday night to make his way across the mountains, his ultimate purpose being to reach Buenos Ayres. The weather was bitterly cold and thosnow on the eround made travel very agifficult. Buimaceda rode a mule, which was the only animal tha is of any use in the mountain pass through which ie was waking his way. Tuesday morning the muleteers began to grumble and wanted to turn back, as the weather was be- coming so severe and the snow so deep that they feared they would loso their lives. Balmaceda; knowing that almost certain death awaited him 1f ho roturned, refused to turn back, and in a fit of passion struck one of the muloteers, who rotaliated vy drawing a pistol and shooting the ex-president_on the «pot. His companions then killed Balma- »da’s companion, and after rifling their pockets, made their escape. ‘T bodics, according to the story sent here, were found by a party of mountaineers and ‘roturned to ios Andes. No further particulars could be obtained. The news created great 1uterest in this city, but no one seemed surprisod, as it was generally by lieved that the unfortunate man would either bo killed or perish with the cold before ho reached a place of safety if ho tried to make his gscape by crossing the Andes. Mr. Fowler, the manager for W. K. Graco & Co, admitted baving heard the report, but said that he had received no confirmation of it. Egan Heard From at Last. Wasnivaroy, D. C., Sept. 2.—At last tho de- partment of State has heard directly from Minister Egan. The news came in the form of a cablegram from Santiago duted Septem- ber 1: Decisive battle Valparaiso twenty-elghth August. Rovolution entirely su ssful v erything tranquil. 4 EGA The delay in receiving this report is owing 1o the fact tnat telegraphic connection bo- tween Santingo and Vulparaiso, the western cablo_ terminus, has been cut and just re- stored, and that the line eastward from San- tiago to Buenos Ayres was interrupted by heavy snows in tho mountains. Although the telegram indicates the success of what Egan aescribes as the revolution, he has not tinformed the Department of State whether government hus been set up that may be recognized as tho government of tho people of the country. Accordingly the department will probably await further detailed informa- tion before according formal recognition of the new government. 2ria A very small pill, but a very good oue DeWitt's Little Early Risers.

The Paris tower was 960 feot high, The Halo tower will soar 200 feet higher. T'he ways and means committes of the World's Columbian exposition, ata lato hour last night, practically agreed to grant the concession asked for. The plan will be referred to the building and grounds committee. There is no douvt that & favor- ablo concession will be granted. It i3 said the tower can be erected within fifteen months. The area at the foundation is 440 feet squaro. At the first landing is a_colon- ade around tho outside fifteen feot wide and 748 feot in circumforence. Inside this space is room for four hotels, each 45x90 feet, and as many stories high as may be required. These building can be mado of appropriste stylo of architecture for French, German, panish and Italian rostaurants. = The res: taurants can seat six to eight thousand guests at one time. Tho second landing can be used as a picnic quarters in the day and a dancing platform at night. This laud- ing will bold 5000 people. Tho grand lookout on the top will be three stories high aud will accommodate 1,500, About this will e four offices which can by used for the signal servico, Above the of- fices will be an electric railway carrying a light at nignt and signals by day. On top will be a light house, carrying the most pow- erful revolving light ever made. I'rom the flagstaff the stars and stripes will waye 100 feet highor than ever a tag fluttered. Thero will be eight elevators, ench carrying fifty people. Tivo will run to the top without stopping, two to the second landing and four to the first.

If the straws that_are now blowlng indi cato the direction of tho World's fairdraught the snug littlo sum of $5,000,000 will be wafted out of tho treasuryof the United States and into the coffors of the Columbian oxposition. It now seems to bs more tnan probable that the oficers of the exposition will ask the next congress for government aid 1 this enterprise. They will not, how- ever, ask for any appropriations beyond what is necessary for the cost of medals of award aud the incidental expenses, which will amount probably to between $500,000 and F700,000, If'the 5,000,000 comes from congress it will be in the form of a loan secured by mort- Eugu on the gate receipts. It nas not yet oen decided to ask congress for this loan, but such a step has been proposed in the spe- cial jount committeo on_finance, and the idea is very favorably entertained.

Rock Island and Milwaukee Officials in Conterence—Raitrona Notes A couference was held Tuesday afternoon in the office of K. A. Nash, general agent of the Milwaukee road, which will have au im- portant bearing on the question of freight now in dispute between the Rock Island and Milwaukee on one side and the Union Pacifio and Missoar: Pacific on the other, The two former roads have determined to force the Missouri Pacific to turn over froight to them on this side of the river when con- signed to them at Omaha, which will deprive the Union Pacitic of the bridgo charges, amounting to 3 por car or thereabouts, The Rock Islaud has been paying the Union Pa- cific about $15,000 per annum as bridpe charges on freight turued over by the Mis- souri Pacific at Council Bluffs and they have resolved to save this to themseivos by haul- g the freight across the bridge. “The Missouri Pacitlc has declined to turn over freight on this sido of the river on a count of its agreoment with the Union Pacific and the Rock Islaud bas rofused to receive freight at all unless turned over at Omata while the Milwaukee is recelving it under protost. The meeting held in Mr. Nash's oftice was attended by General Manager A. J Bariing, Superintendent of Motive Power J N. Barr und Superintenaent C. A.

The Burlington's elena Extension. The report that the Burlington is building towards Helena is given credence by peoplo in this city who keep a close watch over rail- road affairs, but tho peoplo at headquarters of the B. &' M. say they know nothing about any such work going o, instead of ending at Merino, as statod in the dispatches, the road is in operation as far as Donkay creek, several miles beyond Me rino, and 1he road bed bas been graded to & poiut fifty miles cast of Sheridan ana about one hundred milos southeast of Buffalo.

Meeting of the Commissioners and Lady Managers. Citoago, 111, Sept. 2.—The World's fair commission met at noon today. Tho first subject to come un was tho reading of a com- munication from the general socretary of the American Sabbath uniou, asking a hearing for a delegation from that body on the sub- jact of closing the exposition on Sundays. Finally, after consideravlo debate on a mo- tion by Commissioner Do Young of Califor- nia and amended by Commissioner Massey of Delaware, 1t was decided to appoint a com- mittee of three to confer with the Sabbath union delegation and fix an hour during to- morrow’s session at which the commission would hear the delogation. The momorial of the union to be presented 0 the Columbian commissions sets forth that the proper obsorvance of Sunday at the fair will “*Honor the law of God, by Wuom e Sabbath was made for man, that it will be in harmony with the letter ‘and spirit of tho 1aws of all tho states and territories; that it will respect the conscientious convictions of all Christians who, forming a largo part of the storling character of the world, should have their feelings considered; that it will bo in line with the Sabbath observance at the Philadelphia exposition; that it will follow the examples set by, the English speak- ing nations at the Paris exposition ot 1880, who, with the official countenance of this government, refised to uncover their displays on Sunday ; that to open the exposi- tion on Sunday would. unjustly compel the employes of the fair aud the transportation companies to labor on‘that day; that it would lead to excesses by the various classes; that Saturday half holidays and the generosity of employers may be depended on to give all omployos an opportunity to visit the fair; that this government cannot afford to set such an example to tho.nations of the world; that all foreiguers should be given an oppor- tunity to see the “‘American Sunday” as it is usually obsecved; and, finaily, that the event which the fair colebrates ~was the result of the supreme insviration of a Christian man who took possossiou of the new world in the name of the Son of Man, who is also the Lord of the Sabbath.” Speaking of tho matter, Colonel Shepard said: I believe firmly that if the fair is not closod on Sundays the Lord will put His curse upon the enterprise and upon the na- tion. He will send plagues and pestilonces, as he did in the day of Pharaoh. If, on the contrary, the gates are closed on Sundays, tho Dord will bless the fair and muke it the grandest success possible. You have no idea of the intense feeling of the Christian world on this subject. 1t is witn us to a man, and, should we win, it will acjoice as oue ‘man. Hence, it is_imporative that the question should bs decided at once and the decision not put off until a later date.” After hearing reports from the board of control, president and director general, a ro- cess was taken until 3 o'clock. Presideat Palmer, in his roport, said in part: ““I congratulate the commission on the way 1t has done its work. No candid per- son can look over the proceedings and not be impressed with the work accomplished. Tho respouses of foreign goveraments have been most satisfactory and presuges tho greatest exposition of its kind ever attempted. ‘Twenty legislatures have made appropria- tions and thirty states and territories havo mado application for space. The expense of these can not fall short of $3,000,000. Con- gress, by a meagre appropriation, has triplea the work, but it s to ve hoped that the next congress will do better. I'rom estimatos prepared, it is evident that the expenso of tho commission must bo cut down, if the aporopriation of 0,500 18 ' to bo sufticient, This question, gentlemen, you will beusked to seriously consider, I recommend that the commission give the question of award their careful considera- tion. Too much care cannot be excrcised. The cost of bostowing awards has been estimatod at $700,000, and I aw of the opinion that congress should be asked for an appro- priation to cover that amount.” ho roport of Director General Davis cov- 1 the work dono under his direction, the facts of which have already boen given in tuese dispatehes.

To stop this manipu- lation of ratos the members of the Westorn IProight association have been ordored to filo statements of their divisions with outside lines. Under the agreement a member is 10t required to make known 1ts divisions with other membors, aud to avoid boing compelled to reveal the proportion allowed the Indiana, Illinois & Towa road, it 1s charged that the Burlington ana the Atchison induced it to apply for mombership in the association. A meeting of the Western Froight association will be held next week, when the matter will no doubt be finally aisposed of. NO PARTY RATES ADOPTED, The Western Passenger association closed its sessiou today. ‘The proposition to estab- lish party rates was discussed at consider- able length and finally laid on the table, A number of the roads are opposed to party rates under any circumstances, and as tne question of théir logality is still pending in the United States suprome court, whero it was taken by the Interstate Commerce com- mission, it was agreed that any action on the subject’ in ndvance of a decision by the court would uot bo wise. One road that is growing more and moro disploased with the proceedings of tho Western Pussen- ger association is the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City. 1t is the oply member that is not also & momber of the Western Traffic association and it is becoming an interesting question whether this road will be forced out of the Western Passenger association or into the Western Traflic association.

The following are among the subjects to bo considered: Adjustment of divisions on Missouri viver trafic via junc tions botween Chicago and St. Louis uniform basis of rates from Central Trafic association points to interior trank line voints; rates from Missouri river points and tho sonth to seaboard cities via northern and southern routes: differential rates on trafic to Savauuab via Atlautic seaboard noints; proposed revision of oil rates: request to apply the samo basis of rates on pig iron from Trontown, O., to Boston and Boston points as aro authorized from Youngstown and Mahoning districts; rates to apply on the stock which changes hands en route.
