He Writes a Message Anent the Revolution. The Rebel Hon Declared to Be Con fined to the Navy. Popular Sympathy With the Government. Insurgent Conquests Described as of no Consequence. Associated Press Dispatches. New York, May 25.—The Chilean ' ■ minister has received a copy of the mes sage of .President Balmaceda to the Chilean congress, which convened April 20th last. In this he discusses the re bellion of the navy, which he speaks of aa without precedent in the naval his tory of Chile. He says during the period of three months since the beginning of the revo lution, there is not an instance of a sin gle popular outbreak in favor of the movement, whose' power is act ually confined to the ocean. The fleet has been unable to keep steadily or occupy any portion of the territory containing* any dense pop ulation ; and in order to do anything they had to bombard the ports of the north and set on fire towns unfortified, operating against the cosmopolitan pop ulation of Tarapaca, and using hostilities of a character worse than any of those employed during the conquest of Chile. The provinces of the north are separated from the rest of the country by the ocean, upon which the rebel fleet stood, and by vast deserts. The revolutionists suc ceeded in seizing them after several bloody combats. Their fleet has not bad sufficient strength to upset the lawful government, but it has shown enough to isturb public order, and that its leaders possess the courage necessary to sacri fice the lives of children and spread mis fortunes and evils through the country. Speaking of his policy as president, Balmaceda says he tried to give the Na tional party participation in affairs, in a proposition that could not . incite jealousy and resistance. "The Nationals refused to reader me their assistance, although their co-operation was imposed by the clearest political sense. A strug gle then raged between the majority in congress and the executive power, and I thought it my duty to close congress in the hope that a abort period of re flection and cairn would bring the groups of the coalition to fair arid rea sonable terms. Unfortunately, the evil had been done, and we have now to stand the deplorable consequences. "I was bound to assume all the neces sary powers to suppress the revolt, headed by an armed majority of con gress, ben< upon subverting publicorder and the institutions of the country. "The license of the Chilean press has been carried in our day to extremes •never before reached in any other part of the world. Not only the government and public men, but society and even families have been carried in a tempest of political passion. I think the law must keep sacred the right and liberty of every one to publish his opinions; but there must not be other offenses of the press than those so qualified by the penal code." "Few governments have had to meet more unmerited aggressions or moregrat uitous inculpations than those with which this has been assailed; but I have not on that ground lost the serenity of my spirit nor the perfect tranquillity of my conscience. I have every confidence in the God who presides over the destinies of nations." THE ITATA AFFAIR. No News of the Charleston—Naval Oncers Remain Mute. Washington, May 25.—The fact that •no word was received at the navy de partment today from the Charleston is taken as an indication that she has gone on down the Peruvian coast towards Callao. Respecting the reiterated state ments from Paris to the effect that the insurgents have arranged to surrender the Itata to the United States naval authorities when she reaches Chile, the officials of -the navy department stand mute. It may be stated, however, that there 'have been no negotiations between this government and the Chilean insurgents upon the subject. Still it is plainly evident that some kind of under standing has been or is exrfected to be reached, which will result in the easy transfer of the Itata to either Admiral Mc- Cann pr Admiral Brown should she reach Chile. This, of course, would not be in the shape of a formal agreement, but an intimation may already have been con veyed to ouruaval officers at Iquique by the insurgents, that such a course will be pursued, and doubtless this has formed the basis of many of the cable grams that have passed between Wash ington and Iquique during the last two weeks. A HALF FAIR OF ROGUES. The Other Half Succeeded in Proving Hip Innocence. Washington, May 25.—Assistant Sec retary Bussy and Commissioner Raum instituted an investigation, at the pen sion office today, into the charges pre ferred against Major Barker, chief of the record division, for appropriating money to his personal use which was raised for the widow of a clerk recently de ceased ; and also against J. M. Dona hue, who endorsed notes and rep resented a money lender not em ployed in the office. Twenty witnesses were examined, but none of the testi mony showed that Barker ever had money belonging to the widow, in his possession. The conclusion of the in vestigation will, it is understood, exon erate Barker, but the charges against Donahue were fully substantiated by the testimony adduced. The assistant sec retary said be was satisfied that Dona LOS ANGELES HERALD. hue was using his position for personal gain, and he would recommend his dis missal.

Washington, May 25. —Replying to a query from the Salt Lake land office, to day, the commissioner of the general land office sent the following order which will be of interest to the public land states: "Parties may commute tim ber culture entries at $1.25 per acre, under the act of March 3, 1891, whether within railroad limits or not, on proof of compliance with the law for four years, when the entry is valid, and not forfeited by sub sequent failure to comply with the law."

Philadelphia, "May 25.—City Treas urer Bardsley was still too ill this morn ing to appear before a magistrate to answer the charge of misappropriating 'iity money.

Chicago, May 25.—The Corrigan's racing association met defeat and a rep rimand before Judge Blodgett, in their application for an injunction to restrain the Western Union company from charging them more than other associa tions are charged for racing news. The court sacd: 'Without considering any other phase of it, the contract the court is called upon to force the telegraph company into, is of such a doubtful character that courts -of equity cannot respect it. This furnishing of news of horse-racing is a species of gambling, and it is against public policy. It en ables people to gamble on horse races at other points without going there. The court might just as well compel the Western Union to report a prize fight by rounds, and let the association sell the pools on it. The motion for an injunc tion is overruled." THREW A BOMB.
