Mr. Egan to Mr. Blaine.

[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Santiago, August 27, 1891.

Mr. Egan telegraphs that the revolutionists were victorious in a fierce battle near Valparaiso last Friday and that a decisive engagement was expected on the day of the sending of his telegram. He states that there is no communication between Valparaiso and Santiago and says it is very important that he be informed by telegraph of any early reliable news which the Department might receive. Thinks it may be possible to stop further bloodshed.
