Pooling Against American Warships.
[united press assooiatiox.J
London, August 81. I It is alleged that after the fight between the Chilian troops and the insurgents the ambulance service was carried out in a disgraceful manner, and hundreds of wounded were left on the battle field. The foreign navy surgeons supplied the deficiency. Regiments encircle Santiago in order to prevent an interruption by outlaws, and a repetition of the sosnes reacted in Valparaiso. Two thousand additional troops will be despatched I there to assist in maintaining order. The insurgents treat the official prisoners well, and promise to give them a fair trial.
The fact of American warships having received on board several of the leading supporters of President Balmaceda after the Jatter's defeat, has created a bad feeling with the insur gents.
Valpabaiso, September 1. The Junta has removed from Iquique to Santiago. No foreigners were injured m the riots in Valparaiso. The foreign brigades have been withdrawn to their ships. The Editor of President Balmaceda's paper has been shot for issuing a seditious pamphlet. The insurgents' warships are pursuing the Government cruisers Condell anil Imperial. Valparaiso, September 1.
