was inferior and declared they would no longer submit to it As a consequence the turbulence of the volunteers Santiago which had not yet recovered from the excitement caused by Balmacedas suicide was again thrown into a high fever The news spread quickly over the city and as it traveled through one street after another the start ling intelligence was followed by the closing up of all the shops To what extent this disaffection would have it i is Impossible to spread ih say Further trouble happily was averted at least for the time being by the clear judgment and cool bear ing of the president of the junta Gorge Monntt and Colonel Canto Their firm ness coupled with fla promises to the angry soldiers that their grievances would bo attended to served to allay the spirit of rebellion These promises were not made in any mere conciliatory manner A move ment to return the discontented volunteers to their homes will be begun tomorrow Three battalions are to bo sent northward by steamer to

with what wo previously saw and as you well know I must find a solution of the situation in which I am placed and I ought not to prolong any further the asylum which in eventful moments you so goner ously have given me and which I recommend recom-mend to my family as the greatest service I received in my life The exasperation of my enemies renders them liable should my residence be found out to go to extrem ities which I shall avoid by tha greatest sacrifice a courageous man can make You know I have scorned vulgar evasion deem ing it unwortby a mac who has ruled over the destinies of Chili and more so to ex cuse the acts of triumphant revolution I had decided therefore of my own free volition to place myself in the hands of the junta do gobierno hoping that the constitution and laws would In the end prevail and protect everyone However with all the chiefs and officers in the army senators representatives municipalities judiciary public functionaries in all branches of the service accused and brought to trial prisoners or fugitives and I myself who alone am responsible before congress dragged to justice as rep resenteS by the supreme judges and partisans parti-sans of the revolution to answer with our persons and property for all wo have done as a constituted government gov-ernment Wanton arbitrariness has been established in such a manner that I have no hope justice would be ac corded Seeing what the spirit and tendencies of the revolution have become I do not seek further to prolong my asylum which I nei ther can nor ought to do I am ready to make the sacrifice Would to God this sacrifice would lessen the persecutions of my friends by those who think In this way they can humiliate and wound ma more keenly May God have mercy on the man thrown down by the blows of mis fortune As I bless you and your virtu ous wife I hope my children will also blest you Tell Arrienta he is good and to stay near my kindred to perform the last merciful mer-ciful services
