BALMACEDA'S DEATH
The Ex~President of Chile Blows
Out His Brains.
——
DEATH RATHER THAN SURRENDER.
————
The Tragedy Committed in the Dead
of Night in the Headquarters of
the Argentine Legation at Santiago
After All Hopes of Escape Had
Proved Futile.
VALPARAISO, Sept. 21,—Ex-President
Balmaceda, of Chile, ghot himself
through the temple in his Toom at the
Argentine legation in Santiago. The
story became known here late Baturday
afternoon and created the greatest ex-
citement. Every part of the city was
brilliantly illuminated and on every
hand was heard the sounds of rejoicing.
Later accounts from the capital con-
firm the sensational news and give the
details of his suicide. It now seeins
that Balmaceda left Santiago on Aug.
£0, in the hope of making his escape
from Chile, but seeing that every avenue
of retreat was cut off he returned there
on Sept. 2 and went direct to the Argen-
tine legation.
His intention had been to go on board
the vessel Condell, which he expected to
find lying in San Antonio bay. Upon
arriving there, however, he discovered
to his A AST that the torpedero had
sailed.
His Highly Nervous State.
Since his return to the Argentine Le-
gation, in Santiago, Balmaceda has been
in an extremely nervous condition. No
one, with the exception of the Minister
of the Argent{pe Kepublic and one other
man, who was devoted to the unfortu-
to talk to or even see him. All the dif-
ferent schemes of flight were considered
by the hunted ex-president.
Senor Urriburia had a long and
earnest talk with Balmaceda relative to
the latter's ideas previously broached,
about the advisabilit r of giving himself
up to the junta. Balmaceda and Benor
Urribaria went to bed at midnight.
Senora Urriburia heard a pistol shot
in the bed room that had been assigned
to aceda. Bhe notified her hus-
band. Before he went to Balmacedd's
room be ran round to the house of Car-
los Walker Martinez and brought that
entleman back to the legation. Upon
eaking in the door of Balmaceda's
room he found that he had shot himself,
The body waa still warm. There was a
gaping wound in the temple. The body
was undressed and lay on the bed. The
revolver was still held in his right hand.
The junta has the Argentine legation
guarded by troops te prevent an attack
on the part of the people, but everything
is quiet at Bantiago. Balmaceda's body
was removed to the general cemetery
and was apie by members of
his family and friends, The widow of
the dead ex-president was informed of
his fraic eath by he: brother, Do-
mingo Torro. There is a guard sta
tioned at the cemetery. An intendente
is keeping order,
Balmaceda's Career,
The stormy life thus brought to an
end began in Santiago fifty-one years
ago. Jose Manual Balmaceda was the
dead usurper’'s full name. He came of
an ancient family, rich, well known and
of high standing in Chilean affairs. It
was the intention of his parents that he
should have become a priest, and to that
end he was carefully educated at the
Seminario Concilias, of Santiago. Bat
the young man had other ideas for him-
self. There was at that time a political
society in Santiago called the Club de la
Reforma, composed of hot headed young
men who wanted to change or over-
throw the constitution by which Chile
had been governed since 1880, Balwma-
ceda joined it. By the time he was 28
years old young Balmaceda was known
throughout Chile as a coming man. He
was elected a deputy to the Chilean
congress and took part in all the de
bates,
When President Santa Maria took up
Balmaceda in 1885 and made him the
pational minster of foreign affairs he
greatly strengthened his administration
and gratified the nation. Balmaceda
Was very ular, The next year the
popular minister became his party's
candidate for president and was elected
by an overwhelming majority.
For the first three years the leaders
who had appianded dalmaceda’s candi-
dacy and helped him to his success were
in complete harmony with his ideas and
meth In these three yeacs the pro
of Chile was greater than in any
time in her history. All this pleas
ant situation was completely changed
in one year. From the most popular
man in Chile Balmaceds become in
twelve months among a very large num-
ber of his fellow citizens the most cor-
dially hated. The sole instrument in
this change was Balmaceda himself,
German Catholics Parade.
Burraro, Sept. 22.—All passenger
trains entering Buffalo are crowded

American Catholics in religions affairs;
to demonstrate to the world the growth
of the church, and to discuss matters
which affect its well being. A most in-
teresting feature of the convention was
the monster torch light procession last
night. About 10,000 men were in line.
The parade started at 8:80 and marched
