Tologrnm to TUB BKE.J The thirteenth
grand reunion of the Grand Army of
the Hcpubllo of the Department of
Nebraska opened today. Thn tem
perature averaged nbout 70 degrees. Thrro
was not a cloud to bo scon. Tbo elements
smiled upon the undertaking. The soldiers
were happy. The committee of arrange
ments was happy. The citizens were happy ,
nnd everybody seemed to feel that tbo
promise of success for the great rounlou was
lurnly to bo realized.
Grand Island standas the premiere In the
matter of manipulating soldiers. She has
had moro reunions than has had any other
city of the state. She , too , enjoys
the distinction ot housing the indi
gent veterans whom fnto has loft
without friends. It may , there
fore , bo believed tbat she well knows
how to cnro for those gallant remnants of an
unconquerable host. In tbo present instance ,
profiting by past oxperipnco , there is llttlo
doubt that she has left anything to make the
reunion the greatest success of the kind over
held in Nebraska ,
Early this morning the first veterans ar
rived. Some of them stopped nt Quarter
master Harrisons nnd were assigned to tents ,
i Vhors straightway trudged to their
> . iivas homes without the formality
of Inquiry. They had taken tbo
precaution to make application In writing for
qunrtors and had boon mailed cards showing
the street and nvenuo nnd number of the
tents allotted to them. Those touts they
experienced no difficulty in finding ,
and thus saved the valuable time of the
quartermaster , who , on occasions llko the
present , is supposed to bo as many-tougucd
as n ruilway ticket agent.
Mr. Harrison is nsslstcd by Mr. Goorpo
Kyon , a veteran , whose knowledge of camp
llfo was gleaned in the face of the cnomy.
of thn
All day the road between the city nnd
camp bas been nllvo with wagons , carryalls.
backs and street cars , convoying hundreds of
veterans to tbo grounds. It has also been
dotted with pedestrians who scorn the Idea
of riding to n reunion when tlio distance maybe
bo covered without Inconvenience
on foot. Those veterans como laden
with trunks , blankets , gripsacks and
packs of all shupes nnd sizes.
kJ Women , too , lend willing hands nnd it Is not
It nn uncommon sight to witness n weary sol
\ dier trudging niter u younger wlfo and n
buxom daughter , both of whom carry all the
oqulpago which Is to render their sojourn
ono of ease and comfort.
Without the cump nud to the west side of
the ontrunco there stands the old familiar
baggage room of the Union Pnciflc which has
already done .service on several Holds , tn It
are deposited almost countless parcels and
packages and trunks , but they remain there
only u short tlmo when tboy are whisked off
to various sections of tbo grounds.
Inside tbo entrance on the right side
stands the quartermaster's ofllco. Beside it
stands a chemical engine ready at a moment's
iiotlco to extinguish any Hamc.s that may
break out in any part of the camp. In front
of the quartermaster's ofllco stands n twelve-
pound brass gun with its expressive face
bert toward the ground , meekly modest
of Its record which extends back
beyond the War of the Rebellion.
The plcco wns sent to Grand Island years
ngo to protect the lown against the Indians.
After the dnngcrs of the insurrection had
passed uwnv , the gun remained in tbo pos-
i session of tbo city nnd by it wns turned over
to Lyoa post , Grand Army of the Hcpublic ,
of this city , which now holds the ancient
plcco in honorable regard.
East of the quartermaster's ofllco is n row
of tents assigned to the reunion committee ,
the press , the state department ot the
Woman's Kcllef Corps , the Daughters of Vet
erans , the Sons of Veterans and tbo Grand
Army of the Hopublic.
In the largo tent of the reunion Chairman
Mobly Is always to ba found. IIo Is quar
tered behind a high dosk. Ho is
not there llko a circus ticket
seller to snap at inqulrini ; humanity.
On the contrary , ho 1ms placed himself there
to bo of service to these who ncod his ser
vices. ills assistance is tendered with n
heartiness which makes ono fuel that ho has
not been asked to do half as much us he
would liku to do for the stranger.
In this connection It may bo stated that , as
chairman of the reunion commlttco ho bas
boon energetic nnd untiring. Nothing seems
to hnvo boon overlooked by him. As a con
sequence the camp Is the admiration of these
whoso long experience has qualified them to
pass upon the perfection ot the arrange
ments.
AVliero to Kind Them.
Connected with the headquarters of the
commlttco nro press quarters , containing
tables , chairs and writing pads. Tlio tents
are open and airy nnd the scrlbo who cannot
feel satisfied with these nrcomodntlons must
wait till ho can bo translated to the sanctum
of the Now Jerusalem Times to huvo bis
wants supplied.
The papers ttms far represented nro also
supplied with tents. Tin : BKI : tent excels
that of any ether paper on the grounds. It
Is largo and beautiful , with a pavilion top
mid Is Justly admired by the hun
dreds of visitors. In this tent ,
nlso nro established tbo headquarters
ot Tii | ! DIM : Bureau of Claims ,
r , which Is lu charge of Hon. E. P. Itoggon.
This feature is attracting the attention of the
veterans und many of them avail themselves
of Its advantages to obtain the pensions of
which they have been deprived through the
treachery of sharks or the delay and red tape
of the departments.
The great Grand Armv of the Republic
edition of Tun SUNDAY BISK has been the
thoma of conversation of every veteran , and
the demand for copies could not today ba
s unplicd.
Further to the east , the Woman's Itollof
Corps connected with Lyon Post No , 10 ,
Grand Army ot the Uopubllo , has estab
lished headquarters. In front of tbo
teiits Is nn arch In national colors ,
around the columns of which nro
twined cords of evergreen , the arch
bearing the word "Wolcomo" In largo and
unmistakable characters. The officers of
this post nro as follows : Mrs. M , M. Mur
phy , president ; Mrs. H. E. Avery , S. V. P. ;
Klra. Charles Cummlng , J. V. P. ; Mrs. S.
H. MoVoy , secretary ; Mrs. B. Thomas ,

woll. guard ; Mrs. O. Loffor , O. G. ; Mrs. M.
Bovler , corns correspondent. The depart
ment pnuldent , Mrs. Fisdcll of Kearney Is
expected tomorrow.
East of tbo Relief Corps comes tlio
division headquarters of the Sons of
Votorans. These young men huvo erected
an evergreen pyramid in Iront of
their quarters and stacked the arms with the
air of veterans. These arrangements have
been tmuto by O. A. Abbott camp No. II of
Ibis city , the oClcers of which nro H. G.
Harris , captain ; Charles Holslnpor , tint
lltmtcnunt ; Frud Wheeler , second lieutenant.
Colonel Corrlck ot Stookhnm , state com

Out on Dress Parade.
In the afternoon dress parade by the First
and Second regiments of the Nebraska Nu-
tlonal guards took place south of the camp
and was witnessed bv an Immense concourse
of people , oniony whom were many old sol
diers. The boys had been subjected to along
drill early in the afternoon. Notwithstand
ing that they were somewhat fatigued
thov made a crcdilablo appearance in line.
In the drill they had been closely Inspected
by Captain Corliss , who ir.ndo notes und
Inter conferred wltn the respective com
manders. The men , in connection witii their
now uniforms , wear for the first tlmo tbo reg
ulation leggings nnd light brown military hat
of the regular army , both of which gmo

Tlio officers cspeciullv were deservedly
commended for their excellent appearance.
As n whole they nro a Uno body of men.
Among those who were specially selected for
military upnearnnco were Ge'neral Colby ,
Colonels Bills and Bratt and Mujor Magoon.
Tbo last mentioned Is the successor to John
U. Watson ns Judge advocate general
on Governor Thaycr's staff , and physic

VALi'AHAiso , Uhlll , Aug. ! 53. Tlio Cbatmral
regiment of tlio congressional army took for-
mnl possession of Santiago tonight iind thus
practically ended the revolution which tins
torn Chlh to pieces lor l'10 ' Pat seven
months.
The capital city w.n In the Hands of a
blood-thirsty mob hist night , and whllo It
wis unable to satisfy Its murderous Instincts
it did destroy a vast amount of property.
As soon as the news reached Santiago
yesterday of the overwhelming defeat of the
govorniuont troops on the holehts of Placilln
and tlio fall of Valparaiso , and the paoplo
knew that Bulmaccdu's power was gene and
they had nothing to four from his wrath ,
theironmity to his government broke forth.
Howling Hiilmuuiulii'ri Blood.
The cry was raised that the president
should bo killed , and n mob started for his
house.
It grew in numbers and fury as It went
through the streets , and by the time It
reached tlio executive ! mansion was npo for
any bloody deed. Short shrift would have
been allowed the president had ho been
caught.
Applying the Torch.
The bloodthirsty fury of the mob was
balked. Then the mob , started for revenge ,
found vent for its passions lu the application
of the torch. Soon Balmuccda'sjhouso was n
mass of flames. Before it had been de
stroyed the mob murchcd off to the house of
Senor Goday , the ox-minister of the Interior ,
a resident Balmaccdist , and Ilrud the houso.
The residences of Balmaeoda's mother , Gen
eral Barabosa , who was killed at the battle
of Placllla , Scnors McIConna and Eastman ,
the government newspaper offices , and the
houses of several prominent officials were
burned to the ground.
The city was panic stricicen , business was
suspended , aud pnoplo outside of the moo
koptcloso to their houses. The sky was
lurid with the light from burning buildings.
The police , the flro department and the army
were demoralized and made not the sein-
blauco of an attempt to maintain order.
Decided to Surrender Santiago.
Bnlmaccda , when ho beard of the fate of
Valparaiso , sent for General Baquodano ,
commander of the government troops in San
tiago , to meet him at ! 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at Moloda. This Baqueduno de
clined to do , but suggested that the meeting
bo held In the house of General Valasquo. A
council of war was hold at Vulasquo's house ,
ut which President Balmaccda , the generals
and other loading Balmacodlsts were present.
The situation was thoroughly canvassed aud
It was decided that the surrender of the cap
ital-vas the only proper course. Baquodano
was given charge of the city and was author
ized to arranco the terms of surrender with
the congrosslonallsts. Word was at once
sent to Gonorr.1 Canto that all the troops in
Santiago hud declared their adhesion to tbo
congressional party and that Santiago was
at his disposal.
Senor Don Jorge Montt , who Is in charge
of affairs in the south.ordcrod that the Chan-
aral regiment proceed at once to Santiago ,
.whoro they are to assist the forces of General -
oral Baqucdano In keeping order and also to
prepare barracks for ii,000 additional troops.
Accompanying the troops which wont to
Santiago today , was Senor Alimioano , who
will act for the present as lutendcnto of the
capital.
Koliliei-H Tlii'oaton tlio City.
From those who cumo in on the special
train from Santiago today it was learned that
that city Is lu a terrible state. In addition to
the destruction by the mob last night the city
was threatened by an Irruption of all the des
perate characters , robbers and outlaws in the
surrounding country. General Baquedano
has posted tbo imperial regiment in a cordon
about tbo city to prevent robbers and other
dnngcrous people from coming into the capi
tal. The tnsi ! Is almost hopeless.
General Canto and his staff , with addi
tional troops , left Valparaiso tonight , and
will reach Santiago early In the morning. A
new chief of police for Santiago and u now
administrator of the railroad have been ap
pointed.
I have It on good authority that Balmacoda
wont by n special train yesterday to Talca-
tin an o , on Conception Buy , and that there ho
will mnko connection with the Condcll und
Imperinlc , and In one of these vessels , prob
ably the former , make for liuonos Ayres or
Montevideo. If this is so , ho will in all
probability escape.
Illotini ; and Tyranny.
Comparative order 1ms at last been restored
in this city. It took strong measures to dolt.
Rioters who were caught in the work were
summarily dealt with and many of them were
shot out of hand. But rioting was not
stopped until property estimated to bo worth
f 1,800,000 had been destroyed.
Many acts of tyranny have been perpe
trated hero by government oflcmln ) alnco last
January , and every war shin In the bay bus
its quota o ( refugees. ' This guvo rise to
much dissatisfaction on the part of the con
gressional loaders. The feeling was particu
larly bitter against the Americans , for Ad
miral Brown had glvun assistance to many
unpopular ofllcials on board ihci San Fran
cisco and Baltimore. Admiral Brown this
afternoon had a long consultation with the
leaders of the Junta , .and his explanations
bnvo had the effect of putting an end to'tho
Irritation against ttiu Americana. The Junta
are exceedingly anxious to soouro recogni
tion from tbo United Slates government and
nro now hopeful that It will bo accorded
the in.
Government OfllainlH Arrested ,
Numerous arrests of government oftlcials
have bojn mado. The insurgents show a
moderate disposition , however , and the load
ers say that every man agulnsvwho'n charges
are made will have u full anil fair hearing
before the proper civil authorities when
order Is fully restored.
I saw Senor Montt and General Canto , In
company with United States Consul Me-
Crcury this afternoon. Montt and Canto
say that there will bo no election nor will
any move bo taken relative to the formation
of a now government until the arrival here
from Iqulquo of all the members of the Junta.
It is hardly probable , however , that an elec
tion will bo hold for some time , and la tlio
meantime the junta will bo in control.
Ciirlntr for the Wounded.
In all the campaign , from the landing of
the congressional forces at Qulntero bay
August'0 , until the capture of Valparaiso
August , there was only one battle worthy
of any name , und that was ut Curlco , when
the congrosslonallsts forced the passage.
The umbiilanco service here has simply been
disgraceful. Hundreds of wounded men
were left on tbo battlefield to die who might
have been saved If prompt measures of re
lief had been taken. The surgeons of the
foroien warships have done moat valuable
service In caring for the wounded , und bad It
not boon for their hard , effective work , tbo
Buffering } of tbo wounded soldiers would
have boon much greater. Especial credit U
due to the medical staff of the United Status
ship * Ban Francisco and Baltimore.
It has been aicortumod that 600,000 pesos
la silver was shipped on tbo British sloop of
warEsplegle. Itww tent by roll from San
to Tnlcahuno and was taken nbonrd
the Ksplc.slo ut that port. The senior Brit
ish unval olllcor bore Is rtnklng every effort
to communicate with the captain of the
Espoiclc , with a view to detaining the bul
lion If possible. It is suppo cd Balmnccda
intended touso this money tonmko payments
on account of the now cruisers presldonto
Erruzurlz and presidents Pinto.
Colonel Korner u AVInner.
The World prints as n Valparaiso special
the statement that the Insurgents owe their
success in u great measure to the skill and
experience of Colonel Korner , who was
brought from Germany by the Chilian gov
ernment as instructor in modern warfaro.but
who quarrelled with the Bulmaccduns und
pave hU services to the opposition.
Tholighting was not only fierce , but llond-
Ish. The bodies of the Balmarodan generals ,
Barbosa nnd Alcorreca.who fell In thebottost
pnrt of tno engagement , were frightfully mu
tilated.
At sundown a riotous mob of laborers
united with a rabble of deserters from the
government und sot tire to und looted innny
buildings on the outer ends of the city be
longing to Balmaccda partisans. Fourteen
IIres raged nil night , but nro now under con
trol. Two million dollars' worth of property
wns destroyed. The citv rang all last night
with rlllo' reports and this morning the
bodies ot00 rlo.tors nnd pillagers littered the

HOME , Aug. : il. The attitude of the Italian
government with reference to the next con
clave , nnd the discussions of tbo same ques
tion in ilio Italian papers , con tin to to produce
n deep nnd lively impression In enlightened
ecclesiastical civclo.s. The leading cardinals
nro much impressed with the passionate
interest manifested by Italian politicians in
insisting on the necessity of holding the con
clave nt Rome. Church men lu prominent
positions , however , are persuaded that so
long ns Homo Is occupied by two hostile
powers It Is only In accord with the dignity
und interest of the holy sco that the conclave
should bo held upon foreign soil , in order to
frustrate the machination > of the civil
powers , und , nboro all , in order to renew in
an ofllcacious manner the noriodio protesta
tions against tbo status quo and against the
occupation of Homo by the Italian state.
The encyclical of Pope I.eo XIII. to the
Portuguese bishops excites , much remark In
clerical and political circles. It Is u fresh
sign and a very evident ono that Lee XIII.
accentuates moro and more the democratic
tendency of the holy see und of the papacy
In accordance with the typo rind in harmony
with the maxims and practices of the Amer
ican church. The passage touching upon the
national council proved that the papacy tends
with Increasing , determined ana unvarying
energy towards the 'concentration of
ecclesiastical policy in Independent
and distinctive ) action , ' ' by breaking
definitely with monarchial "methods und
by preparing for the gradual transition to
ward common right , perfect liberty und the
independence of the church with reference
to the state. Leo XIII returns again and
ugain in all his actions to this coneral Idea.
Profoundly penetrating , with belief In the
universal triumph of democracy , ho desires
gradually to fix for the church its role nnd
its place in tno now kind of civilization and
in moro effective play of popular forces. For
this reason Leo XIII demands union , inde
pendent action and the revival of
the ancient national councils , which ,
after the fashion of that at
Baltimore , shall giro to Catholicism
independence , renewed vouth and inex
haustible vitality. ConsiQerublo interest is
felt in diplomatic and ecclesiastical circles in
the approaching election in September of u
general of the Dominicans. At the Vatican ,
and especially on the part of Pope Leo. it is
earnestly desired that the choice may full
upon n foreigner , nnd if possible n French
man. The provincial of Lyons is prominently
mentioned In this connection. Ever since
the pope's accession to potyer ho bus thrown
his Influence in favor of "plating foreigners nt
the head of the religious orders. Ho has had
two reasons for t his course i 'IIo has desired to
mark In an emphatic manner the international
character of Catholic institutions and to pre
pare tlio way gradually for u foreign pope ,
and ho has nlso desired to give renewed vital
ity to the religious orders in Italy where they
are loss well organized than In other coun
tries. In pursuance of this polii y ho secured
the election of Father d'Andormntt ,
a Swiss , to bo general of the
Caplchins , aud of another Swiss priest
to bo general of the Hcde.tiptorists. If now
the Dominicans cheese n Frenchman , this
will bo another step In advance ns the choice
will fall , not upon a man from u neutral
country , but upon n subject of one of the
great political powers. It is for this reason
that moro than usual interest attaches to the
approaching elections.

this afternoon that ho thought that between
