Egau today officially requested the

the minister's son. Senor Urriburn in
his diplomatic capacity will call a meet
ing of the foreign ministers for the pur
pose of requesting tlfc attention of the
Chilian government toward the action
of te municipal authorities in main
taining police surveillance of th. Ameri
can legation. An additional insult was
offered the American miuister yesterday
in the rase ol onool the refugees who
applied for release upon furnishing
bonds as recently granted Balmaceda's

ernment replied the refugee must first
leuve the American legation and sur
render himself to Chilian authorities
aud submit to imprisonment.

Pckln government to investigate tlo
question of a Chinese exhibition at the
world's fair. To a rejorter Chue Yow
Sing said it wus his first visit to this
country. "1 do uot know the inten
tions of the Chinese governmeu," he
said, "concerning an exhibit at the
world's fair. I understood the govern
ment declined t. exhibit, but my in
structions are to make a searching in
quiry into the conduct and probabilities
of the exposition. 1 sumose the gov- j
ernuients decision will be influenced by
my report. I want to see what prepara
tions have been made and above alt, to
try and learn just what interest the
American people take in the fair. If
China makes any exhibit I think it w ill
be a creditable one.

TROt'lSLEI IN CHINA.
A Hrrcc Ualtle With the Uebela In
Which Tltejr Come tTut Victorious
IX dox, Dec. 23. 'Particulars of tho
recent battle reported near Foochow, in
which it was stated that the rebels had
leen routed, have just leen received
here, and showed that tbe imperial
army suffered a crushing defeat. The
people had risen en masse in the dis
trict of Tuk Fa, three days' journey from
Foot-how, in n northeast direction, and
had slaughtered several officials. Five
thousand imperial troops wrre sent
against the rioters by Viceroy Pin and a
blood v engagement ensued in which
2000 of the soldier wero killed, the re
mainder fleeing panic-stricken. A new
subject for discuseion and excitement in
Foochow ia just now detracting some at
tention from the rebellion, and the
authorities hone it will help them in the
suppression of the rioters. It is talk
aUut a possible war between Uussia
and China. Doubtless this has been
caused bv dispatches from London re
porting the advance of tho Busman ex
pedition over the Chinese frontier. The
authorities are fanning the flame and
making the most of it.
Oakland I'rlnlers on a filrlk.
Oakland, Cal., Dec. 23. All the com-poi-Itors

come around the ofKce again. The
grievance was immediately referred to
the Oakland TyKgrapl.ical Union, and
negotiations failing, the union ordered
the strike last night. The men walked
out quietly.
Chilian Cabinet Will i:elgu.
Londox, Iec; 23. A correspondent of
tho Time at Santiago do Chili says that

Chicago. Dec. 24. A Washington
special says: "There are some facts
that point strongly to the probability of
war." The war department is forward
ing recruits in squads of forty or fifty as
rapidly as possible to fill complete regi
ments. "In the far west and on the
Pacific," General Scboflcld said : "There
are 10,000 men available to send out of
the country, but no more could be spared
from the general army." Gun carriages
are being shipped to San Francisco, in
sections and guns will follow at an early
date. General Schofield has been twice
summoned before the cabinet and Las
given it as his opinion that if ten thous
and men are sent oiit of the country, it
will be quite possible to fdl their places
in the regular army at home by the teru
poiary enlistments from tho militia. A
certain quUi of the regulars equipped
for actual service at army posts are to be
called for from each state. In case the
10,000 men transported to Chili should
not bo enough, it is reported that the
president may call for 20,000 volunteers
for one year.
The AdmlnUtratlow la Weary.
Washington, IJec. 24. It is slated
semiofficially that the patience of tbe
administration is nearly exhausted re
garding the Cbiliau situation. Secre
tary Blaine is now at work on an Amer
ican view of the case, and, when fin
ished, the president will incorporate it
in a special messngeto congress. The
case will be such that congress can
take but one view. There is no doubt
among tho foreign legation here whose
opinions are of any consequence, that
the United States must hold Chili re
sponsible for the violence of its mob,-or
fait to perforin its duty under the inter
national stipulations.
Lost la tha Faff.
London, Dec. 24. The fog that set
tled down over the city Tuesday last still
hangs over it and everywhere it is as
black as night. Business is interruped
and tho money loss is serious as people
will not venture out even to make
Christmas purchases. The saddest feat
ure of the siduation is the great loss of
life caused by persons losing their way
and waudering into rivers, canals and
Hfonds. Already seven bodies of unfortu
nates who have fallen into the river and
drowned have been recovered. Four
other men and frirls are reported missing
and there is scarcely any doubt they
perished as the others did.
A dispatch from Leeds this morning
states that three men, while walking
beside the canal, lost their war in the
fog and fell into the water and were
drowned. There has been several perr
sons killed on the railways.
The Mexican Kevolt.
Lauedo, Tex., Dec. 24. Reports have
been received from Carrisio, in Seapota
county, by Captain HarUie'a troops at
tbe United States cavalry station were
to the effect that there is no doubt that
Garcia crossed the line w ithoueliundred
men into Mexico at a point between that
city nnd Brownsville. Also that Garcia's
men met the Mexican troops at Lasto
villas, 70 miles from tha border and de
feated tho latter. There were about
forty men killed on both sides. This is
doubtless authentic, as it comes from
an officer on tho ground.
Field No Uetter.
New Yokk, Dee. 24. Edward Field
manifested no interest in the decision
rendered by the lunacy commissioners
in bis case. He is seemingly as
oblivious to his surrounding and fate us
heretofore. He still reaiwes food, and
refuses himself to all callers. He today
denied himself the ono thing that seems
to have been his only comfort, news
papers. Cyrus W. Field condition is
still hopeful, but Lindley is slowly
sinking.

o'clock the funeral services were held.

taken to brtng action against Sage for
heavy damages for having used Brokers

ploded bis bomb in Eage'a office. It is
understood that tho amount of damages

San Francisco, Dec. 24. The flag

Saturday next, unless contradictory or
ders are received. As her orders are
scaled, her destination is a matter of

that she ia bound for Chili. It is ex
pected that supplies and mail for the
steamship Charleston will le. transferred
to that vessel, probably at Aeapulco.

London, Dec. 23. Tho Bonapart di
vorce case came up for further hearing
yesterday. Justice Jeune decided when
the case first came np that the petition
should be so amended as to include the
charge of adultery, and ordered if the
petition was not so amended it should
betaken off file. When the case was
called the petitioner failed to amend her
petition as directed by thecourt. Prince
CTbvi Bona partes then presented a
counter petition asking for a disolation
of bis marriage to petitioner on the
ground that the ceremony was void be
cause the woman's first husband was
living.
