Legation of the United States,
Santiago, November 11, 1891.

Mr. Egan reports that on the 10th, the two houses of Congress having met and the Provisional Government resigned, Señor Montt was chosen as President and invested with full powers; that the Liberals have been elected to the council of state and all other offices, but that the successors of the Conservative members of the cabinet, who all resigned, have not yet been named. Mr. Egan expresses the anticipation that the state of feeling toward the United States will be very much improved under the new order of things.
