Upon your return yon announced thlit slnou
early In the evening you had been In posses
sion of thu Information that a player claimed
hv MI association club had been sluncd by n
National league club nd that such Informa

jnuTn'tfiliioor'at lu o'clock th'is morning. " So
far va wo sire concerned nothing has oceuriod
Blnco the hour of adjournment to change the
situation as existing at that time.
At 10 o'clock this morning wo were at the
place of nicotine prepared to proceed
with the business which brought us
hero. After waiting some tlmu
your communication was revolved
In which you make the following additional
oemand , viz : "Unless , therefore , the league
committee can guarantee to us the return of
players mentioned , and good faith In our ne
gotiations and dealings wo ahull be compelled
to withdraw entirely from the conference. "
Via respect fully submit that this last demand
occupies precisely the same status as any of
tbo other demands above mentioned , and Is u
proper subject for discussion In Joint confer

cussing and nnjiistlnit. If possible , any and all
differences between the two organisations and
urn prepared to proceed In compliance with

To this communication the association ro-
plled :
QBNTI.KMKN : Your letter was received as
wo wore about to leave the city. It is a very
Kraut surprise , in view of the fact that wo
stilted to yon very positively last night at
adjournment that wucould not and would not
meet you this morning at 10 o'clock nulem you
would nave your club members correct the
wrong which wns done In direct violation of n
spirit of fair deailiiK. This announcement
wasnot made In rompor. but mniely bncmi.se
of a dcilro to maintain the self resnoct of our
association and the delegates. As to this you
must agree that we could under the clrcum-
Htances do nothing less. In thestatomont and
enumeration of the propositions and demands
yon have ( perhaps unintentionally ) somewhat
confused your propositions with ours , and
have Ittod sever.tl made by yon. Tins Is.
of ooiirue , under the circumstances wholly
immaterial , but to correct , unintentional
errors wo enllattentlon to the following facts :
that ? { " Lllut J'.r delegates have admitted
the Hovoy-lllurbnuur decision Is utterly
unfair and unjust. J
-ecoml 'I Hat the roserrlng of players under
contract wns not uppllud alone to the nsnoela-
tttm players , but to league players alike.
This can litirdly Do called a demand on our
part , as yon were earnestly urging this also.
Third t'pon the statement of your Mr.
1 Wr.n ? lo lll ° fnc\ ? surrounding the signing
of Vlckory nnd Schrlver we very remlllv
apreed that If they were true Chicago Is ori-
t tied to their services.
Kourth Your lonrth proposition Is scarcely
Mil ted fair. You will recollect that wo not
only ojalin that contract Jumpers bo In some
way disciplined , but also the clubs which lud
encouraged and persuaded thorn to Jump.
Klfth , The proposition about the National
board was made at the very outset by your
Sixth , Wo did favor a now agreement to bo
framed In terms eo.ulUblo for lenguo und as
sociation phiyora alike.
StiTcnth. The Idea of getting rid of the
Western league was brought out ut your suit-
gimlon nnd concurred In by us.
l.ltJlitli. Wo only ask In addition to what wo
JIUTO now pormlsslon to locate clubs In llrook-
lyu and Chicago , giving you permission at thu
amp tlmo to looatu In llnltlmoro nnd St ,
Limit. Wo ask no moro than we are willlnz
Math. Wo proposed to glvu to you In behalf
of ourselves perputual rights of territory :
thlt to protect against combinations , trleksor
Jobs oil the part of any clubs. You will see at
onoo that In your nurrlcd note you havosomo-
whnt confused the facts ,
YOU have also omitted two of your propo-
Klrst ! rhat'you had formulated n plan
for reducing thu salaries of your players In
which you H-nntfd our co-operation.
Second , That you wanted us to merely for
give nnd forgot the admitted wrongs done our
nisoolixtlon , with tlio promise that yon would
not do so again ; provided wo should not ustc
or expect any restitution.
Wo In candor , confess that wo had most
earnestly Imped thatour dltruroncoi would bo
KOttlud , out HO long us your luaenu recognizes
and encourages the conduct referred to Vn our
former note wo think It U hardly disposed to
moot us h lf way.
We shall at all tlmoshold ourhelvostnrendl-
UCM to meet and treat with you fairly , and to
moot you half way In any settlement , but wo
cannot submit to uny ether or further Imposi
tion ! . SUCH I' I'llKU-S.

BOSTO.V , Mass. , Auir. 20. The directors of
the Boston Baseball club of the American
association say that nothing will bo dona
about the Jump of Kelly. Today they sent n
telegram to Prculdont Kramer asking that
the Kelly matter bo not considered in thu
conference nt Washington. They do not
need nnd will have no use for him , oven if ho
wns retained , The club will not make tba
slightest move to got him bnclr. There would
be no proceedings ncalnst him or the club
that secured him.
Mnnncor U.incroft of the Milwaukee * nld
that Kelly cnmo to him upon entering the
grounds yesterday afternoon nnd told him
what ho had done , nnd that ho had signed a
contract for the remainder of this season nnd
the beginning of next for fciO.OOU ? itIXK ; )
down , besides a ticket for Kuropo for himself
and his wlto. Mr. Bancroft said that Presi
dent Von dnr Ahe of the St. Louis Browns
could have signed Kelly In St. Louis in the
last trip of the Clucltinntls there. Kelly
slgaillcd his willingness to sign with
Vou dcr Aho. It wus Voti dcr Abo's
Intention to play him In loft Hold und behind
the bat , nnd next year to play him nt the
bend of the Chicago association nine.
Kelly afterwards changed hli mind nnd
said ho wanted to play iu Boston , where his
homo was. Vou dor Aho interposed no ob-
Jeutlon , nnd asked him If ho could go right
away. Ho took the train that same night for
Boston. That the Boston association nlno
could not sell out is shewn by tbo fact thai
President Kramer holds n deed of trust for
Til per cant of the capital stock of the club.
Even were this not so tbo association would
keep n club m Boston on new grounds were
the present club disposed of In any way.

Special to TIIK BKK. ] 1'ho onllro Chilian
legation nt Paris talKed of nothing else yes
terday but the Herald dispatch concerning
the great battle. The legation , and oven the
Chilian minister himself , has boon entirely
without news as thu wires have been cut
during the past throe days. So surprised
wns the legation that all day its members discussed -
cussed how It was possible the Herald could
have received such n dispatch. Had It not
been for the circumstantial evidence , the na
ture of the cablegram and the fact that sev
eral members of the legation wcro at the
editorial rooms yostordnv morning whllo the
dispatches were being received over the Her
nia's ' private wlro thov would have bcon dis
inclined to accept It without further con Ur
ination. Now they eagerly look forwnrd to
the Herald to supply thorn with Information.
The Herald representatives during the day
hnj nn interview with a gentleman who
probably has a broader knowlodgs of Chilian
affairs than any ono in Paris and on this ac
count xvhat ho says Is of the Inghost Impor
tance. On account of the responsible position
ho holds ho stipulates that his nnmo shall not
npponr In print.
"Do you look upon the battle , probably
now bring waged or perhaps concluded , us
final ! "
"Almost so. If the government Is defeated
tbo insurgents will , without doubt , take
Valparaiso and cause great demoralization
among the supporters of the government. "
"And will they wiul"
"I scarcely think so. The odds seem to be
enormously ngalnst them from their topographical
graphical position and the numbers and dls-
cipllmi of their soldiers. The government
seems to have an enormous advantage In
range nnd their position Is almost Impregna
ble. A rallroaa runs along tbo mountain
sldn and can bring thorn tbo reinforcements
which the newly elected president , Claudia
Vicuna , is gathering. "
"And what are the Insurgents1 chances ! "
"If there were treachery in Fort Cnllno
nnd their friends were to send them tbo ro-
inlorcomonts from Valparaiso they have
promised they could win. "
"How are they comparatively equipped ! "
"Tho government has got infinitely bettor
cavalry and in case the insurgents nro des
cending they could swoop the valley , for the
insurgents come from the north where horses
are almost unprocurable. On thoothor hand ,
the Insurgents nro superior in artillery ,
being armed with- the latest typo of Arm
strong guns , whereas the covornmout weap
ons date back to 1SSO-2. "
"Which sldo do the people take In the
flghti"
"Thoro Is no popular interest in the insur
rection at all. I am prepared to say that out
of the .1,000,000 Inhabitants of Chili. 2nr.0,000
persons don't care ouo way or tbo othor.
The Insurgents are Backed up by the richer
classes , the ones that tiavo wielded the
power und now find themselves thwarted by
the rule of President Balmaccda. There has
not boon ouo popular movement during the
war. "
"Suppose the government loses , what
then I"
"If , " ho replied , "it is a crushing defeat the
insurgents will capture Valparaiso and the
government would bo much weakened at San
Diego , but it must bo remembered that they
have got 10,000 troops IP the north , consid
ered to bo the ilowor of the army , and might
makoastand with that force , and if tlio lu-
miruents moot with a crushing defeat they
will tlnd themselves exactly In the same posl-
" * * " tu"5 wore m uicht months ago , with
nothing but a Hoot andbut a Iragmeiit or an
army. Then it remains to bo seen whether
the men and ollicors may notsoo lit to dis
continue the war which has been ruining
the country since it began. "
"How do you look upon the future finan
cial position of Chili , provided peace nnd
order are restored } "
"The financial and economical condition of
the country Is as sound today as it was a
year ago. Before the revolution took place
the revenues of the country , which
are hold in equal proportions by the revolu-
tioilists and the government , will come
back. "
"Whatever the government may bo when
established , nro the revenues sutllcient to
meet the expenses mid pay the .interest on
the national debit"
"Yes , ample , and also sunicient , ever and
above , to glvo a surplus of from fT > ,000,000 to
fi.000,0iO ! ( per annum. Chili only owes
abroad 8,500,000.The interest nnd siuk-

licet besides that of the land forco.
Thlt operation enabled the government to
select the best positions for its 12.000 troops ,
although this advantage cost the loss of half
of the callant division ot ii.000 men , which
contested the march of the rebels und tbuir
crossing Ibo Acarungua river.
The rebel Heel has been kept nt bay by the

Chili's Opposing Armies llnvo Given
Up Fighting for the I'rcHont.
NEW YoitK , Aug. 2ii. The following dis
patch appears in the Herald this morning
from Valparaiso , Chili :
Neither of the armies now confronting each
ether along the eastern shora of Valparaiso
bay scums disposed to renew hostilities just
at prusont , nnd outside of some unimportant
skirmishing there was no fighting today. A3
near as can bo learned the commanding generals -
orals of the two armies nro watching oac.li
other closely nnd inunojuvering for position.
General Canto , it is generally believed
nniong the poopln , being familiar with warfare -
faro , has ronlizod the fact that It Is well nigh
Impossible to procure Valparaiso by n direct
Utaclt along tbo lines ho apparently had in
riaw wlion ho commenced the attauk 01. Vina
Del Mnr Sunday and was unsuccessful.
It is altogether probable , therefore , that ho
, vill change his plans of attack by making u
lotour back into the country in order to gain
i position from which ho would have a bettor
ilinnco to make a direct attack on the citv
.vlthout . exposing his troops moro than is ab
solutely necessary to the llro from thu heavy
irtlllory in the forts , and which will , in some
uoastiro , neutralize Balmoccda's superiority
) f nu moors.
Canto is generally considered to bo a warv
general , as well as u determined lighter , anil
if this is his plan of operations it may bo
several days before the armies again join In
battle.
President Biilnmcodn and his ofllccrs are
not novices In the art of war and do not pro
pose to allow the insurgents to take a triclc
unless they earn it. Ho Is strengthening tils
army as much as possible- and there i.s nn im
pression that his idea is , if possible , tn cut off
the unemv'slino of retreat , to his ships bcforo
ho gives battle , and then ho hopes to glvo
blm n crushing blow which will wlpo him
out of existence and thus end the revolution.
Tins appears to bo about tlir situation , and
until ono or thu ether of the commanders has
got into tno position for widen ho is striving
it is probable that there will bo no hard
lighting.
The city was ijuiot today. All business
and trunic : is suspended und thu people hero
find llttlu to think about but the probabilities
of coining dangers.
