THE CHILIANS EXPECTING WAR.
The People of That Country Are Ready
for It -Another Story of the
Killing-
Washington, Jan. 18. A cabinent
officer is quoted as authority for the
statement that President Harrison Jwill,
in his message to congress, ask for
authority to send an ultimatum to Chili,
and In the event of its not being favor
ably considered by that South American
republic that war will be at once de
clared. The character of the ultimatum
which the president proposes to send is
said to be such that Chili cannot reply
favorably and acceed to its demand even
if president Montt so desired. The war
like party and the anti-government (
party of Chili are said to be in such a
state that they would revolutionize
the government if Chili should accept
the terms demanded by the United
States. It is now understood that the
president will not send the full corres
pondence to congress, but merely
synopsis of it, so that it may be readily
understood and acted upon with verv
little delar.

Activity In Naval Circles. -
Washington. Jan. ' 18. The navy de
partment today is still the scene of great
activity. The secretary had frequent
consultations with his bureau chiefs,
and outward signs denote great work is
being done. The greatest activity pre
vails in the bureau of naval intelli
gence, agents of which are said to be at
work on the plan of a possible campaign,,
besides collecting all imaginable inform
ation abroad. Through this bureau the
secretary has kept himself thoroughly
informed on the movements of the
agents of Chili, who, it is rumored, for
some time have been ransacking Europe
for war material. Comprehensive oper
ations are now conduced by the depart
ment largely for the purpose of ascer
taining just what the naval system can
accomplish in the event of hostilities.

An Important Immigration Decision.
Washington, Jan. 19. An opinion of
importance in its construction of the im
migration laws was rendered .in the
United States supreme court today in
the case of Fishimura Egin, a Japanese
woman, to whom entry into the United
States was refused by immigration offi
cers and collectors at San Francisco, on
the ground she was likely to become a
public charge. This ruling the immi
gration officers contested, and it was
sought to have the Federal courts, on
application for a writ of habeas corpus,
review tne facts in the case, lhe gov
ernment contended the ruling of the
treasury department with reference to
the entry of immigrants was final and
not reversible by the courts. This con

is no hope whatever for the appoint

as the Oregon delegation does not make
any other recommendation, it gives the
president "quite a lee way of going to
another state.

The Insult to Commander Evans Has
Affected the Situation.
Washington, Jan. 19: Secretary
Blaine, in the course of a conversation
conducted with a friend today, left it to
be inferred that the probability of an
amicable settlement of the difficulty
with Chili was mighty improbable: in
fact, he briefly hinted as much when
asked how the latest phase of the quar
rel, the gross insult to Commander
Evans, of the Yorktown, has affected
the situation. In Washington the feel
ing of impending war is rapidly assum
ing the aspect of a certainty, as indi
cated by the groups of politicians and
citizens, who seriously discuss the
'question and express indignation and
the determination to maintain the dig
nity of the country. The pressdent'9
message to congress is already printed,
and unless reparation is offered ere then
it will go to the senate Thursday. The
president awaits a more detailed rejort
from Captain Schley, and when this is
received it will doubtless be submitted
to congress, together with the presi
dent's message to that body.
Are Expecting War.
'Sax Diego, Cal., Jan. 19. Authentic
"advices from sources in Chili state that
- among the common people of that coun
try the talk is that war will result. The
' Chilians have no idea that their govern
ment will back down or retract any
word or act. They consider themselves
strong and expect additional strength
from England. They agree that the
United States navy is able to wipe their
: ssels off the face of the ocean, but they
do not dnnht their abilitv to secure rec
ognized aid from England, or to secure
some of Fnglands warships by purchase.
If the informant is correct, represent
atives of the Chilian government are
now in England working on both propositions.

A Sea Captain Describes the Attack on
the Baltimore's Sailors.
Sax Francisco, Jan. 19. Captain
William Jenkins, of the American steam
ship Keweenaw, was today examined by
Judge Advocate Bemey as to the attack
on the Baltimore's sailors in Valparaiso
on October 16 last. The Keweenaw was
at Valparaiso at the time. Captain
Jenkins testified :
"I was eating dinner at a hotel in the
fashionable part of the city, on the eve
ning of the 16th of October, when I
heard the shouting of the mob outside.
I ran out and found the mob attacking
a Baltimore sailor. The man tried to
enter the gate of the Intendencia, .but
was repulsed by the sentries, who crossed
their muskets and barred the way. The
mob then knocked the sailor down and
beat him and the police afterward ar
rested him.- I returned to the hotel and
sat looking out of the window with a
lady, when we saw another Baltimore
gailor coming running into the square
pursued by the mob, who was stoning
him. One overtook him and knocked
him down in the gutter. Another then
picked up a paving-stone and, raising it
high above his head, brought it down on
the prostrate body. The heavy stone
struck the sailor on the shoulder, knock
ing the man stiff. It was the most cruel
thing I ever saw. The lady' with me
fainted at the sight. The police came
up and carried the Unsensible ; man
away. I had seen, on the day of the
assault, about twenty of the Baltimore's j
Two Steamers In Collision.
London, Jan. 18. During a gale yeS'
terday the British brig Wellington, pro
ceeding np the Tyne, dashed against the
stern of the Huntsman, a British
steamship, which was stranded near the
south pier, at Shields, recently. One
side of the Wellington was stove in,
causing her to sink a few minutes later.
Two of her crew were drowned", and the
remainder were rescued.
Favorable to the State.
Madison, Wis., Jan. 19. Judge New
man today filed an opinion in ' the suits
against ex-state treasurers, to recover
interest on state money. The decision
is favorable to the state, and orders a
return of principal and interest, in all
alxrat $600,000.
The Mexican Revolution Ended.
Lakeeo. Jan. 19. The Garza revolu
tion is believed here to be at an end, for
the present at least. Armed men re
ported to be moving through the country
are supposed to be Garza's forces going
back home.
The Street Railway Strike.
Pittsbi'kg, Jan. 19. No attempt was
made to run any cars on the electric
street railway today, and all is quiet.
The strikers committee today presented
a new proposition to the company.
Curtis Trial Again Postponed.
San Fkancisco, Jan. 19. The trial of
M. B. Curtis, the actor, charged with the
murder of Policeman Grant, was again
continued this morning until next Monday.
W ashington, Jan. 19. There was
lull in talk today, with reference to the
Chilian matter, on the house side of the
capitol. The disposition was to await
the receipt of the president's message
lfore endeavoring to form a decided
opinion on the subject. The feeling ex
pressed was nearly all of disbelief in
war as the jrobable outcome of the
trouble. The members could not say
in what way they expected the trouble
to pass, but there was a general concur
rence of opinion it would do so in some
manner or other. A number of demo
cratic representatives who were talked
with deprecated a war with so small a
nation as Chili, and said the United
States is large and strong enough to over
look a great many things rather than to
proceed to extremeties. During the
iffternoon a report was in circulation
that the situation had assumed slightly
a more pacific aspect. It was rumored
Great Britain had intervened and offered
to bring about a peaceful adjustment of J
the relations between the two countries.
No official confirmation of this rumor
could be obtained by the members, but
it found credence with many from the
fact it had been anticipated an amicable
arrangement might be reached through
the friendly interposition of some' third
nation and Great Britrin, with her vast
interests in Chili, was looked npon as
the most likely to be the intervening
power:
Some Extract From the Report Pre
sented to Judge Foster.
Valparaiso, Jan. 26. It is true the
Chilian government notified Captain
Evans of the Yorktown that it was un
able to guarantee the safety of t!ie refu
gees on board his ship, if he undertook
to transfer them to any departing
steamer, and neither could the govern
ment prevent any steamer on which
they took passage, from being searched,
in any Chilian port, at which the veseel
might oncb while on their way north.
There was no change of mind on the
part of the Chilian authorities in regard
to the refugees, and in proof of this it is
only necessary to look ' at the facts by
the following statement by a high au
thority, in which it is claimed that the
government is powerless in the pre
mises :
"The government has no right, under
the constitution of the country, to inter
fere with the courts or public prosecu
tors, and could not prevent the seizure
of the refugees in any port of Chili they
touched at on the way in any direction
to a neutral port.
The Chilian Matter Postponed Through
Rlaine's Illness.
Washington, Jan. 19. The cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost en
tirely to the consideration of the Chilian
question. The proceedings were oniy
temporarily interrupted by the slight
illness of Secretary Blaine. .There is
reason to believe the government has re
ceived dispatches through the Chilian
minister, looking to a peaceful solution
of the questions in dispute, . and they
were submitted to the cabinet today.
This may possibly do away altogether
with the necessity of referring the ques
tion to congress. The session continued
until 2 o'clock. The only information
in regard to the proceedings was that no
conclusion had been reached in the
Chilian matter.

Willing to Second the President.
Washington, Jan. 19. Should the
president recommend congress to declare
war against Chili, the vole of congress
would be one of the most emphatic
affirmatives ever recorded in the capitol,
but there would be a minority, and there
the maker of history will find the two
alliance, senators Kyle and Peffer.
What Irby would say, were he here, is
not known. Kyle thinks war with Chili
would be a national disgrace, and that
the idea of going to war with so small a
country is criminally ridiculous. Peffer
said :
"Perverted doctrine of patriotism is
responsible for the war feeling. The
idea that the trouble at Valparaiso con
stitutes a cause for war, springs from a
mistaken sense of honor. A lot of our
sailors, most of them, probably intoxi
cated, became parties to a brawl, and be
cause two or three of them were killed
we must bring about at an enormous
expense, the death of man- of our peo
ple. The proposition is. perfect foolish
ness."
The cabinet did not pursue the discus
sion after Secretary Blaine's retirement
from the meeting today, so that any dis
patches he may have had in his poses- s-
sion could not be fully considered at
that time. It is understood the subject
will be taken up at a point where the
discussion was interrupted, when the
cabinet meets again, which may be to
morrow, ana m tne meantime tne cor
respondence will be withheld from con
gress. It' is learned, officially tonight
the president's message will not be sent
to congress tomorrow. While official in
formation on the point does not extend
beyond tomorrow, there are strong sur
face indications that the president has
practically determined to postpone final
action on the matter until next week,
and this gives color to the belief that
conciliatory dispatches have already
been received and more expected. It is
known the president would strongly in
dorse any proposition for a settlement
of the question at issue, on any, peaceful
basis consistent with the honor and dig
nitv of the nation.
The Charleston Ready for Sea.
San Diego, Jan. 19. Cipher dis
patches received from Washington by
Admiral Brown appear to change plans
in regard to the movement of the
Charleston, which was expected to sail
for San Francisco this morning. At any
rate,' the Charleston is making no prep
arations to move this morning. Yester-
dav afternoon a diver was sent down to
examine the cruiser's bottom. His re
port to Captain Remy is that the vessel
is cleaner than was expected. The en
gineer also reported the machinery in
good condition, and not in need of over
hauling. The amunition brought here
by the San rancisco gives the Unarle9
ton a complete store.
Washington, Jan. - 20. The star of
peace is in the ascendency at the capitol
today. There is no tangible reason for
the waxing pacific view of the Chilian
situation and the waning warlike talk
which has been indulged in during the
last few days by many congressmen.
Nevertheless there is a widespread con
viction that war will not be the neces
sary outcome of the present complica
tions between the United States and
Chili, although there is also a general
belief the' good temper and forbearance
of this country is being sorely tried by
the exasperating procrastination of the
Chilian government in its correspon
dence. 'A Pacific coast senator tersely
summed up the views of many of his
colleagues today when he said :
"There will be no war. Chili deserves
a spanking, but the United States can
not afford to sacrifice her dignity and
play schoolmarm unless it is absolutely
necessary, and it is not. Our govern
ment adopted such a quiet dignified
tone in its correspondence and has
awaited the pleasure of the Chilians in
the conclusion of their hair-splitting,
equivocating judicial inquiry with so
much patience that the little South
American nation has grown presumptu
ous, but they at last nave come to
realize the fact that the dignity of this
country is not to be trifled with, and
when the president's ultimatum is sent
they will come down from their lofty
position and make due reparation."

The Judgeship Race.
Washington, Jan. 20. Senators
Squire and Allen have signed a letter
addressed to the president stating that
in case Mr. Hill could not be appointed
United States- circuit judge, they were
in favor of Judge Hanford, and set forth
in the letter many excellent qualities of
the man who is now district judge of
Washington.
It may be stated authoritatively that
Senator Allen is not in the race. He
said today that he was not to be consid
ered as a possibility. The fact is that
the president would like to appoint Sen
ator Allen nnder certain circumstances.
When Allen's name was mentioned to
him he stated quite positively that he
thought there had.been changes enough
in the senate for the present, and he be
lieved that Senator Allen was making a
very good senator, and that the people
Secretary Tracy Is Very Busy.
Washington, Jan. 19. Secretary
Tracy was very busy before he went to
the cabinet meeting today. Soon after
reaching his office he had a long confer
ence with Senator Cameron, chairman
of the senate naval committee. The
secretary was also today in consultation,
as usual of late, with his staff officers,
on various matters concerning present
operations of the department.
Chilian Roughs to Be Sentenced.
Valparaiso, Jan. 19. The three
Chilian roughs found guilty in the fis

partment has received no information in
relation to the reported firing on the
United States steamer Yorktown at Val
paraiso, Chili. The report is not believed.

New York, Jan. 19. Advices from
Barbadoes, West Indies, state the

A Frightful Death.
Seattle. Wash., Jan. 21. News
reached this city this evening of a sad
affair which occurred about two miles
west of Seattle, near Colhy, in which
two sons of Albert Baxter were burned
td death.' and the family residence
burned to the ground. Baxter is a
randier and lives at a remote distance
from his neighbors. Sunday morning the
two sons aged 16 and 7 respectively,
went visiting. Their parents took their
daughters about 6 o'clock in the evening
and went on a similar trip. They re
turned about 8 o'clock, and found the
house in ruins and no sign of the boys,
On searching the ruins, the two charred
bodies of the boys were discovered. It
is supposed they came home and went
to bed, leaving a fire burning, and that
the house caught nre and they were
smothered. The Baxter family are in
destitute circumstances and dependent
on their neighbors. The community
have appealed to Seattle citizens for
help. '
To do Away With the Agents.
Washington, Jan. 20. The commis
sioner of Indian affairs has written a
letter to the secretary of the interior,
recommending that a number of Indian
agencies of the lesser sort be abandoned,
so far as an agent was concerned, and
that the agencies be placed in charge of
the superintendents of schools at the
particular agencies ; also that the phy
sicians at the various agencies oe re
quired to act as clerks, which would be
something of a saving in the matter of
expenses. Whether the secretary will
act favorably upon this recommendation
or not, is unknown, bnt as the move
ment is in the interest of economy it is
probable that it will receive his ap
proval, although there are a number of
senators and members of congress who
might seriously object to anything of
this kind, as it would leave a number of
personal appointees without a job.
Made a Vigorous Kiek. .
. Washington, Jan. 20. The biggest
fight the democrats have made on any
public building bill occurred upon that
introduced by Senator Mitchell, and
which passed the senate today, for a
building at The Dalles. There was a
long discussion and several democrats
made a vigorous fight againt it. Both
Senators Mitchell and Dolph made
speeches on the subject and urged . the
necessity for a building at The Dalles,
and combatted the opposition of the
democrats. It was necessary to have a
roll call. There were twelve democrats
who voted against the passage of the bill
while thirty-five republicans voted for it.
One of the CMflcers Claims the People
Are With Theaa.
Laredo, Tex., Jan. 20. A correspon
dent telegraphs that he has had an in
terview with one of Garza's chief lieu
tenants. The officer indignantly denied
thereport that they were bandits, and
said they paid for everything they used.
Garza, he said, represented a principle.
He was a patriot, and was determined to
overthrow the tyrannical yoke of Diaz.
Garza, he said, had over 15,000 followers
on this side of the country. All the
people are with him, he added, and half
the army. Garza was not ready to
strike the final blow, but would do so in
six or eight weeks, or not till the grass
sprouts, so that they might have forage
for their horses and'men. The lieuten
ant considered that they had a rich and
powerful backing, and that when they
were ready to enter the field their forces
would be commanded by one of the most
popular and capable men in Mexico.
Garza had no eye to the leadership him
self, nor does he expect to succeed Diaz
when that government is overthrown.
Will Go Through the Straits.
.Washington, Jan. 20. "There are
tree Chilian war vessels in the Straits of
Magellan," said a naval officer today.
"They are not obstructing that import
ant ocean highway against the vessels
of any nation, but there is an under
standing between the state department
and the navt.1 department that the pres
ence of the Chilian vessels is intended
as a menace against the passage of any
more war vessels of the United States
from Atlantic to Pacific waters. Inside
of ten days the Miantonomah. one of the
strongest warships .in the worid, will
start for Valparaiso in company with
the Newark. At Montevideo the Atlanta
and Chicng will 'join' them. The ves
sels, accompanied by the cruiser Ben
nington, are not only going to the Straits
of Magellan, but they are going right on
through. If there is any obstruction it
will be swept out of the'wav. They are
going to Valparaiso, and nothing will
stop them." The above statement was
made by an officer who knew his au
thority and meant every word of it.
His name cannot be given.
Killed hy Robbers.
Fairfield, Cal., Jan. 20. Last night
while Watchman John 'Howard, of Rio
Vista, was making his rounds he came
across a man at the wharf with a shot
gun, wbo ordered him to throw up his
hands, and on his not complying with,
the demand he was shot by the guard
the robbers had placed while robbing
the safe of the Southern Pacific com
pany in a building on the wharf. After
the shots were fired the robbers left in
a boat, leaving their tools behind thesfi,
which the oncers have now in their
possession. They had drilled a hole in
the safe and inserted a fas "readv to
light when Howard came along. They .
are supposed to be the three men who
Ptole a small sloop a few dayseago in
San Francisco. Howard died a few min
utes after being found by citizens who
were attracted to the spot by the shots.
Chili's New War Vessel.
Nxw York, Jan. 20. The latest news
from France concerning the fitting out
of the Chilian armored warship Captain
Pratt is to the effect that the work shops
will have the vessel ready for sea In
thirty days' time. A number of small
fittings remain to be placed in position,
though the larger part of the- work in
what almost any wide-awake officer
would undertake to carry on at sea. It
is even thought probable the Chilian
commander now with the vessel, may
take this view of the case, and, under
pretense of a steaming trial, make off
with the new ship for South America.
Among naval officers here it is recog
nized the Captain Pratt, when fully
completed, will be one of the best fitted
out warships in the world.

and six for conviction'. The Settler
brothers were, some weeks ago, arrested
for wholesale thieving of raisins in the

nals. Fred is serving five years for

tried for an assault to murder but for
want of evidence was only convicted of
simple assault and served his sentence.
