NkwYork, Sept. L').^The //.raid's^Valparaiso telegram slate* that Lx-Prcsi.^dent Italniaoedn of Chili .hot h.iusclf^through the temple in his room at tile^Argentine legation at Sari Die-go Satur^^day morning. Thu story became known^in Valparaiso Saturday afternoon and^created great excitement. Last erening^the city was brilliantly illuminated and on^every hand was heurd sounds of rejoic^^ing.
Itnow seems the story that Haliuaccda^escaped on the United Slates steamer^San Francisco was erroneous. lusiea't,^he left San Die-go on August 3 in the hope^of escaping from the country, hut finding^every avenue of escape closed he re^^turned to tho rity September 'J aud went^direct to the Argentine legation. Since^then he has been extremely nervous. No^one save tbe Argentine minister and one^other man, devoted to Ualmaceda, was^permitted to set' him.
About8 o'clock Saturday morning a^pistol was heard in Halmuceda's room,^and Seii^ r I*. It. Kileuria rushing in found^the ex-president had jil it put a bullet into^his brain.
Thejunta was notified and a commit^^tee immediately went to the houso and^viewed the body.
Asthe news spread the pt ople gathered^around the Argentine legation. They^cheered, hooted and nearly went into a^freniy over the death of their lute enemy.^Above all was heard the shouts of con^^gratulation that in taking his own life hn^had etca-icd a worse fate at tho bauds of^the junta.
Heleft a letter to bis mother and also a^statement to the New York lierntd.
Almostthe last declarations of tbe dy^^ing man are of very s|^ecial importance,^He says, among other thing*, ^I acted^during the past 18 mouths with tliu con-^victioii that 1 was right. I had no nuu ill^the army I eould trust. Tile generals lied^to me. Had they obeyed my orders, 1^think the battle at Corcon would have re^^sulted iu the defeat of my euemios.
Myheart has been with Chili throueh^the whole trouble. I sought the resrtie^of my country from foreign domination^aud to make her tho first republic in^South America. My enemies say I was^cruel. Circumstances com|ie!icd me to^sanction certain acts, but many acts at^^tributed to me 1 never knew of until after^they had been eumuiitted.
^I'ntilthe final battle at Plaeilla, 1 had^strong hopes of triumphing. My generals^Assured niu of victory, but they ult lied.^1 know now they only pretended to be^my friends because- of tho money they^could get Irom me. All the money 1 have^is fJ,5'A), that my wife gave mu Aug^^ust S
Yourminister, Patrick Egan, many^times offered me good advice. He urged^me to make peace with those who on-^posed me and to rotire from Chili. 1 did^not heed his wise adv.ee, for 1 thought he^was under the influence of tin junta^who then was a rotugee of tne American^legation. All through the trouble my^closest advisers were opposed to any^ove: hires for peace.
Balmaccda'sbody has been removed to^the general cemetery. It was accom^^panied by the members of bis family and^his friends.
NkwY/oiik, Sept, 20.^Tbe Hcruld*^Valparaiso cublo Buys: Tbe suicide of^Haliuaccda yesterday morning at the^Argentine legation in Santiago is ih ^^one absorbing and exciting topic of con.^vcrsatiou ill every part of the city.^Ther' is u mingled feeling of suv-^age rejoicing ut his death, and bit.^ter regret that he should hare^kil'od himself instead of fa Inn in the^clutches of tin* infuriated cit MM who^would have delimited to rend linn limli^Irom limb lor the list of cruellies for^which they bold Inui responsible.
Jtis iiii|iossihle for anyone not in this^country or not a native to 1-aaJsM tho in^^tense hatnd entertained toward the ex.^president.
Tiianational holidays which wero to^have ended Saturday night, have hern^prolonged by the suicide. Feasts, iiiuui-^illations and other celebrations in honor^of the success of ilia congressional party^are kept up and ciro lollowc-d by the^marching of .'rcln.ed crowds througii the^streets shouting songs of triumph over^the death of their former ruler.
TheValparaiso pap rs are just^out wnh isrns (rem Suntug^about the suicide. The Argentine^minister at S uit ago positively refused^to furnish any of lite local papers witli a^copy of the pathetic letter written by^lialiiiaceda a short tune previous to Ins^suicide, in which he defends Irs course^as president.
Thecorrespondent of the llrni'd aloti^of all the newspaper men in the city of^Santiago was ab.e to get a copy of this^interesting BtMfcH m ^ -: 11.

Itis probable that the Methodists will^follow Iheir ^ sample in building a fine^church lint summer. Their present niiii^is an old building aud not huge eneugli^for the purposes assigne-d.
