Tt is said that a cable was sunt yesterday from the state department to Minister Egan, in-structing him to recognize the congres-sional government of Chile at once. diieera of tho department have uothhig to say almut the matter but it is au ab-solute) fact that a cable of this import was sent within a very short time utter Secretary Tracy arrivod from his con-sultation M'itb ilia president and his subrequent consultation with the acting head of the stato department. MIMSTRK EGA V I)t FLN01 HIMSELF, !! Hail Nothing- to ila With nny Nitrate Sc.tome and Aliveya iJld III Duty. New YoitK, Sept. 5 The J.'rni'd's Santiago correspondent cables that hi) hid a long talk with United Slates jlinisier F.agan. Ho feels keenly the fact that his ollicial acts have been crit-icised and his motives impugned. He emphatically det.ied that ho has shown any partisanship for Balmaeeda. "I was accredited to Halmaceda's r.;Oveniiiient." said Eagan, "and by esteem L have been enabled to effect the escape and save the lives of m tny proturieut leaders of the op-position who were hourly in danger of their lives." "How about the alleged nitrate scheme:'' I never have been ssked to nor have I iu any way protited by ray connec-tion wi'li any nitrate scheme, nor do I expect nor have I expected to so profit by any such scheme. My son advanced money to a railroad contractor. The contractor failed ami my son lost his money." "Did you take any action which led to the s:i.ure of the Itala?" "I knew absolutely nothing of tho Ita'.a until I was informed by the Chilean officials that she had been seized. I kept tha fctate department fully informud of all important events hero up to July, relying upon the infor-mation gained in Santiago and the re-ports from Admiral McCann as to the position of tho opposition." "liver since my arrival here," con-tinii"- d ligan, "the English, who are naturally antagonistic to me. have looked with jealous eye on my success in obtaining recognition for American citi.ens and payment of thuir claims. 3d Uf4ji-w- y ..7i3paUiM gaJtopiM extended to all. Together with Consul McCreery, I have saved from death and imprisonment many men." Minister Egau says he began to make proposals to Halmaceda on August liOth thai in tho event of his defeat, and in order to avoid further bloodshod, he should deliver the government into the hands of General Haquedano, It was on the night of August 2Sth that, forced !y stern necessity, iialmaccda had to affix his signature to a decree of complete surrender. 1 'ue eorrespomb-n- t adds he has inter-- i view ed members of the junta aud lead-- ! ers of the opposition, as well as Halma-eei'.U- t One and all agree that Kc,an has done much to save tho credit of the United States. Seuor d .Matte, oue of the foremost of the opposition leaders, said: "When the time comes I stand ready to vouch for Minister Figan's behavior in every way. lie is a gentleman, honorablo and loyal to the country of his adoption." Ameri-can residents iu Santiago and Valpar-aiso affirm the views expressed by Senor Matte, while regretting Fcian's selec-tion as minister to Chile from au Amer-ican standpoint. A mob visited tho United States lega-tio- u on the night of August and demanded that Minister Goday's brother be given up to them. Fgan went out and told them that Senor Goday was under the protection of the llag of the United States, and that the tir-- t man who attempted to enter the door of tbe legatiou building would be shot. His calm and determined tone awed the mob and they left, cheering or the ling. William McKeuna and Senor Ybanez, minister to the United States, both Halmaceda's supporters, deny positively that Egan had any con-nection whatever with any nitrate scheme. They say be used ail bis with lir.lmacnda to bring about peace and establishing reforms. They chargo that Colonel North, the fnglish nili'ai.e king, was the cause of the revo-lution, and that he used SenatorZebaro as his aeut. Minister Egan showed me a copy of a letter which ho sent Admiral McCann at I luiqiie, and which is quoted by tho admiral 'o the junta as giviug the min-ister's opinion that Halmaceda's gov- - , 1,1 l,o ,l.n,.tl,,.AU.,, I, was tuts letter that led the Cotigressiou-aiis- t junta to refuse Egan's Rood ollicos in bringing about peace. The copy of the letter shown me reads: "I learu that the government has 30,000 soldiers and iO.000 police well armed and equipped. From your in-formation and other sources I am led to believe the opposition have only a few thousand men wanting in arms. etc. My opinion is that this government cannot be overthrown. I am, therefore,, leady and anxious to do all I cau to bring about peaco between the con-tending part es, and to &ave unueces-- j sary bloodshed in this country." F.iran says one of Admiral McCann's officers sent a letter to the junta with a:i alleged copy of his letter. He con-tended the letter was private and its publication officially waa aever thought of. The governments of Brazil and Peru have officially eonuratulated the junta on the victory of the congressional party and the restoration of peace in Chile. A decree has bpen issued by the junta announcing that the notes issued dur-ing the revolution by Balmaceda will be recognized as legal by tho new gov-ernment. Au investigation of tho banks show that many of the Balmacedist officers have taken caro to pretty well foathur their nests. ii!Er,ES!i:T(!M'iv.iy.

Commenting on the statement cabled to thin city from Shangki and purporting to give the views of the educated classes of China in regard to driving the foreign mU-sion- s from Chinese territory, in which it is claimed that they have utterly fail-ed in the objects they intend to accom-plish and only tend to foment revolt, the Timm today says.

TERRIBLE SCENE ON THE SCAFFOLD. Vellnlr NrritilUa ood Itlesphemlna; the ContUuiUMit Men I lrKatl to II. Ileum. Kansas Cm', Kept. 5. Tho history of the gallows tolls no more hiduous story than that of the oxecutb n of Louis Bulling, the St. .Joseph wifu mur-derer, at Savannah yes'erday after-noo- Just before the time for the ex-ecution the doomed tuau shot himself, in a vain endeavor to commit suicide aud finally died on the gallows shriek-ing for mercy and cursing his execu-tioners. Up to a few days ago Hulling seemed cheerful and hopeful in tho face of ap-proaching death. Ho had twice before cheated the gallows by jail breaking. He reasoned that a chance still re-mained, and to it might bo added two others commutation of sentnnco and suicide. Oue by oue these chances faded away. Early last week it was discovered that Hulling had planned to break jail a third time. Steel saws wt-r- found in his coll. and they Hero taken away from him. His taithful parents went to JelTeison City and had several persona! interviews with Gov-c- i nor Francis, but the governor was; tirm in his decision not to interfere. When Hulling received from his par euts the message that the governor was oodurate he fainted end was with di.li-cult-revived. lie was a continued opium eater, and during the last irgl't was given large doses of the drug. It failed to nave its accustomed eject unit the condemned murderer slept loss that; two hours during the entire night, li'ev. August Eavake, during Huiling's waking hours, spct tho time in read-ing the Hible aud praying. ShurilT Harry had set the hour for tho execution to bo at iO o'clock in the morning. Wheu he went to the cell at (i o'clock io prepare the doomed man for the sckffold. Hulling pluadod so 'or mi extension of a few hours that the sheiilt yielded and f.avo him until o'clock tr live. Hullaig ate a light Lroakfasi and spent the tho time pleading with the sheriff for mercy and attending to the religious exercises conducted by Rev. I.avake hen 2 o'clock arrived he renewed his supplications to tho sheriff and pleaded for oue hour more. The she rill' gra.ited his request. l'.u'.lii:g then asked for brandy and i he sLeritl save him a pint. Injections of morphine were ad-ministered, but neither of the drugs had much affect. The sheriff then retired, leaving the murderer with Jbiv. Ea-vake, at the same time removing the guard from the cell door, at Huiling's request to be left alone with his spir-itual adviser. Suddenly two shots rang out. The "horilf ran to the cell, the priest lay prostrate on the tloor. At his side lay Hulling, weltering in his own blood, which flowed from the wounds in his breast. Ilu had shot himself twice with a revolver. The priest had fainted. A hasty examination of Huiling's body showed that one of the bullets had en-tered the left breast and, glancing from tho rib, had passed around the body, couiiug out at the buck, inMicting .only a slight flesh wound iu the sido. He had not lost consciousness, and w hen the sheriff ordered the four depu-ties to carry bim to the scaffold he curaed in a horrible manner. The dep-uties dragged the struggling inau to the courtyard aud Idled liim upon tho gallows. Ho refused to stand, and they placed him on u chair. As he sat there he presented a revolting spectacle, llo was dressed onlv in Iiim shirt am! trousers. li;s hands ami laca were covered with blood, which poured down and also stained his nhirt. Wood was ruuning through bis shoes, whither it had run from wounds in his breast, aud formed dark po-jl- ou the lloor of the scalfold, dripping from tuere to tho ground be-neath. He cursed and swore at the deputies, cried and screamed for mercy and shrieked in terror. The sheriff gave him a large glass of brandy, w hich ha swallowed at one gulp. Finally, he was told to tret up uud stand upon tho drop. Ho refused, aud the four depu-ties held him while the ropo was being placed around his nock. The black cap was placed over his head and, yell-ing, screaming and blaspheming, he shot through the opening at exactly o:21 o'clock. His neck was broken by the fall, and he died almost instantly. Uev. I.avake has been arrested for giving Hulling the revolver with which he attempted to commit suicide. Kev. Eavake was interviewed regarding Hullirg's attempted suicide. He said he did not give Hulling tho revolver and he had no idea where it came from. He was on his knees praying when Hulling tired tho tirst shot. The mus-cular contracti-o- following the passage of the tirst bullet into Hullin'.s body, tho priest asserts, caused Hulling to discharge tho revolver accidentally, and the ball w hized by his head. He first thought Hulling bad attempted to murder him and then fainted. Just before Hulling was hanged the sheriff had a short whispered conversa-tion with him regarding the attempted suicide. The sheriff declined to say anything regarding tie conversation, but it is considered significant that im-mediately after the execution Eavake was arrested. THE SI LTAN IN A FIX. Bullied into Submission by Eussia Ht ii Now Threatened With a Sound Drubbing by Great Britain- - THE WAY THEO'THE DARDANELLES Must be Open to All Nation if Rnwi is to go Through Thre Hii Tor.or of Assassination, London, Sept. o. Tho Xlnndartl's correspondent ut Constantinople attri-butes the change in the ministry to the sultan's suspicion arising from the sud-den extinguishing of the gas in the palacsi during a storm recently and an explo-sion of fireworks on which occasion tint siiltau forthwith dismissed and arrested, scv etal officials. The VivV Berlin correspondent says: It is reported that Count Kalnoky, tha Austro - Hungarian foreign minister, views the Dardanelles incident witli gravity, and has proposed sending ft jo, nt European note to the Tone. The semi official statement twitch the Forte issued regarding th Bieruieiii wiiu uiissia, loucnin J the passage of the Kussian licet through the Dardanelles, is iuirkenii)g tiie iiritisli foreign ollicj in its cilorts to obtain concerted action on the part of the treaty power in de-manding a full explanation from tho Forte. A hi;;h oll'u-is- l who was recent'v of the opinion that tlie"i:oscow '' incid-ent would not allect the existing rnla-liou- s between liritaiu and Turiiey, now takes the view that the Kusso-Turkis-agieemeiit will make necessary an early demonstration on tho pait of fireat Kiitain, even, if she has to act alone. The I'orte's statement ia evidently intended to cover Ti:-ke-responsibility in tho event of tbii ex-pected combined repre!.eutation of tha powers. Lord Salisbury's position, as it is un-derstood to have been com'nunientfld to the powers, is that the Kusso-Ttirkiah- i agreement is au evasioii of the treaty of l ai is. Turkey could not assmit to au njMiii and lhigi aut violation of the treaty by gi lug the Kussian tho right to tend warships through the straits, but she in a kin a concession tuntamout to till same privilege in permitting tao pj-sag- e through the Dardanelles of a volun-teer lleoL, equipped and blind with sol-diers. The Turin Tcmpx distinctly in-dicates that the French gov-ernment intends to support tlm Sukau's r i f L to eiuj luto a special contract with luissia, ouis.do of tha articles of treaty. With the strait trouble is directly involved tha question of Egypt. Motikhtar l'aeha, the Forte's commissioner in Cairo, has renewed his demand through the Khedive for tha evacuation of Egypt by the English. Cairo novices state if this demand is refused Muuklitar Pasha will ask tha Sultan to recall him and leave the post vacant as a piotest - agttiiret the Kl-e-diva's coiitiuuancy toward his suzerain. -- The British embassador at Constanti-nople.
